This TRULY has better performance than my Dyson!,
Of all 3 vacuums I currently own, the Bissell Trilogy Bagless is BY FAR the best performing unit. I am comparing it to both my Dyson Root 8 Cyclone and my lower end Dirt Devil Power Reach Pet. (surprisingly, the Dirt Devil power reach vac at under $100 bucks was my “go to” vacuum as it just worked better than the Dyson overall)
SO is this Bissell as good as the much more expensive Dyson? Can it really stand up? Being the sole cleaner in my household I am going to give you my honest appraisal so please read on!
First of all, the Bissell’s sheer suction power visibly removes more dirt and debris with much less work. The Dyson requires going over and over a section as much as 3 or 4 times to do what the Bissell will accomplish in 1 or two passes at the very most. This is quite impressive considering the Dyson costs more than 3 times the price of this Bissell Trilogy. Getting rid of the dirt is very simple with their “easy empty” dirt cup. Parts come off and snap back with authority. No worries about it falling apart in the process. As with most bagless vacuums, you DO need to periodically clean the filter but that too is easy with no degree in rocket science required.
The Trilogy is built very well as far as plastic vacuums go. It feels solid, not wobbly and has a comforting engine roar that while loud, sounds smooth and powerful. (and it IS) The attachments are very good. They attach easily (unlike my Dyson which has broken twice just using and removing the attachments) Both the Turbo Brush and Contour Tool are useful and fully functional. I tried the Turbo on a sofa and the results were fantastic. The attachment hose is built well and works perfectly. I can not comment on the spray cleaner that is included as I avoid using chemicals when I clean. (just diluted bleach water usually for floors) The cord is more than long enough and not some thin cheapo either. All in all it’s nice to have a vacuum that I am confident can withstand some pretty heavy use and perform at this level.
Speaking of confidence, this Bissell comes with a full 3 year warranty in a day and age where 90 day warranties are the norm. NICE!
If I had one thing to wish for with this Bissell it would be for a headlight. A nice LED array would help quite a bit but at this price and with this level of vacuuming performance I suppose you can’t have everything and still keep the price point low.
I live in a very large home with about 2650 feet of wall to wall carpeting that provides me with plenty of work each week and a very good way to evaluate vacuums. Our hallway runs the entire length of the home and has about the same traffic levels so by doing one half with the Dyson and one with the Bissell I could easily see which one picked up the most dirt and how easily it was to accomplish this. Both the Bissell and the Dirt Devil push pretty easily with the Dyson taking a bit more effort. As I stated earlier in this review, the Bissell removes VISIBLY more dirt than my other vacuums, easily besting the Dyson and getting at least 25% more out of the carpets and more quickly.
If you live in an area with a lot of dust, dirt or sand, or have pets, you could do a lot worse than this Bissell trilogy. It TRULY sucks big time. (but in a good way)
It is very cost effective, works great and comes with that nice 3 year warranty. With money being so tight these days, this is a great value and gets an honest recommendation from Marty G.

|I really love this vacuum,
I ordered this vacuum from a reward site that we have at work after my old vacuum died. I had previously owned a bissell in our old house that we rented and it worked fine for the size but when we bought our new home it just couldn’t keep up with more than double the square footage of the house. I have 3 dogs, 2 of which are heavy shedders and this picks up the hair from everywhere. When I finally got this vacuum, my old one had been dead for about a month so my carpet was in desperate need of some TLC and this was just the thing. It managed to get all the hair up without hoses clogging which had been a big issue with the old vacuum. I did have to empty the container several times however this is probably mostly to do with how long it had been since the floors were done. Since then I only have to empty the container once for the larger rooms and once for all the smaller rooms combined. The attachments make it very easy to get hair off of the furniture though you have to have the vacuum itself turned just right to get a good angle. Over all I am extremely happy with my purchase. I have had the vacuum now for about a month and would definately recommend it to other pet owners.

|Strong, Flexible and Light,
There really isn’t much about this product I don’t like. I have been using a Dirt Devil equivalent pet hair product that I enjoy using a lot, but there are a coupe of things that make this product just a bit superior. First there is the button that turns the brush on and off which is a must when you are dealing with a surface that will scratch. The button is right next to the power button and is easy to flip on and off. I was a little concerned because the button seemed to stop work on me after I accidentally sucked up something I shouldn’t have. It seems fine now and could have something to do with the vacuum not using brushes when it is fully upright. The plus from the experience is removing the brush and the belt was pretty easy.
Fun Gadgets come with this vacuum, and not only do they work as advertised, the soft rubbery edges keeps you from damaging surfaces and the spot remover works. The nicest bonus for this model is it holds all the accessories firmly so they’re not falling off all over the place like my Dirt Devil does. The spot remover, because of the nozzle, penetrates the carpet pretty deeply and removed evidence of my cat’s hairball issues. I find the vacuum easy to lift and move, and there are plenty of simple instructions on the unit itself so you can move, remove and empty things without consulting the the manual.
Finally, removing the canister emptying it and accessing the filter was easy.
As for cons, there are only two things I dislike about the product. One is the holder for the spot remover is perfect for the product that comes with it… and nothing else. I wish they could have made that piece a little more universal. I don’t even know a store that carries this rounded spot remover can. The second is the handle. My Dirt Devil has a stronger feeling, thicker handle. I fear the thin part of the handle, the white part, is prone to breakage which would be unfortunate.
Overall, this is a easy to use vacuum with a number of accessories and some nice options for pets and hardwood floors. Love it.
