Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OMG. We have suffered for years of long haired (primarily Golden Retrievers) dogs shedding in our homes. We removed all of the carpet in our Ohio home and went to hard wood just to avoid the impossible task of removing the long fur from the carpets. Premium vacuum cleaners could not do the job. The brush would invariably get smothered in wound up fur that I could only remove by removing the bottom sections, then the brush and then having to cut the fur off as it was always wound up so tightly. We could hardly finish a room without having to do this each time. We tried a carpet rake but that only removed some and the floor utensil for the vacuum was our only other alternative, having to stop every 15 seconds to remove the fur accumulating on the brushes. NOW COMES THE SAVIOR BISSELL 1650A PET HAIR ERASER! We were every bit skeptical after so many years of disappointment. However we were totally blown away by the efficiency of this machine and the amazing lack of fur on the brush. After so many years, true technology came through. The only draw back was the fur spooler would fill up so quickly because of the immense amount of fur in the carpet, even after we had raked it and vacuumed it with the old canister vacuum, a top of the line Panasonic. We remove enough fur/hair to build two more Golden Retrievers!! The suction of the Bissell is well above what we experienced before and again the incredibly easy hair/fur removal a joy to behold. Removing the dust/dirt and fur is a piece of cake. You just have to make sure you hold the canister well into the trash can when you push the button releasing the bottom door and dumpling immediately the fur and dirt. You have to try this to believe it. No light on the front of the machine, something we would have preferred but the narrow tool has one amazingly. The small hand unit was every bit as effective and no fur accumulation on it either. How did they do this??? I don't care, it works like a charm and we are besides ourselves with joy over this purchase. Thanks Bissell for making dog ownership all fun again.
