Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum Review

Anyone who has ever bought a vacuum cleaner will know that it is hard to find a good one. All vacuum cleaners have claims attached to them, telling us how great they work but by the time you get it home and turn it on; the claims usually prove to be false. The Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum is strange because it does live up to almost all of its claims but I still returned it.

After my previous vacuum cleaner died a slow death, I decided to replace it and discovered that the vacuum market is very full. It is hard to run into a store and grab a vacuum because there are so many of them. After doing some research and reading some reviews, I decided to purchase the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum because of its major selling points.

Some of the claims and selling points of this Bissell 5770 include a Hepa filtration that cleans a lot of different allergens out of the air, it is also bagless which means that money and time are saved because there is no need to get new vacuum bags frequently and best of all the Bissell features a Cyclonic action that is similar to Dyson that gives it such great suction it can literally pull your rug or carpet up if your not careful with the setting.

I first tried the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum on the wall to wall carpeting that was supposed to be clean. The Bissell still sucked out dirt and dust that was not supposed to be there. The suction claims are very true. The Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum is a very powerful vacuum. I then moved on the hardwood floor and it is easy to switch the vacuum to clean different areas because you just need to flick a switch. The Bissell worked well on the hardwood but when I swiped my hand across the floor, there was still a thin layer of dust. It picked up the bigger messes however.

The Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum has huge wheels that allow easy movement and rotation and there is also a very long cord that allows you to vacuum farther away than most other cleaners.

All of these great qualities and I still returned the vacuum. Why you ask? Well, the first problem is that you have to be careful what kind of rugs you use the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum. I had a rug with some fringe and lets just say it has a little less fringe than when I first bought it. While this cleaner is not motorcycle loud it is also not that quiet. The Bissell 5770 boasts that it is bagless but after a few uses I am unsure if that is actually a good quality.

The button to open the canister is at the bottom so you have to bend down and put your face next to the soon to be opened dusty canister. When the canister does open and you empty it, many times dust flies up everywhere. Dust also sticks to different parts of the vacuum and it is also hard to get out all of the dirt and junk that the vacuum picked up unless you shove your hand in the canister and pull them out. This leaves you covered in dust from a healthy home vacuum.

My biggest complaint and the complaint you will see on every single review of the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum is the weight. The Bissell 5770 weights approximately 35lbs and is very hard to make this a vacuum cleaner to use on a regular basis. The weight alone is why I returned it. This vacuum is hard to life by small women and anyone who may have back pain. If you do not have back pain, you just might after you lug around this monster. I don't think it is fair to be punished with a sprained back just to get great suction from a vacuum. A lot of people seem to love this vacuum and is willing to deal with its heavy weight but I am not. The Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum is a good vacuum cleaner but it does need some major improvements.
