I had a Bissell Proheat 2x (from Costco) for about 4 years. It was heavier and pricier but it did the job well until it just stopped working one fine day. This time, I chose to purchase the Hoover instead. Hoover is comparatively cheaper and lighter. In terms of cleaning the carpet, I think Bissell does a 10-20% better job. Also, after just 3 cleanings, a small light plastic component which helps to keep the cleaner upright has just broken off the machine. That definitely makes me wonder about the durability of the Hoover product. I am now considering returning / exchanging this product. Overall, Hoover is a light and affordable tool. If you want more muscle and performance, Bissell seems to be a better option.

After my mom saw a vacuum at a retail store she was going to buy, I checked on line for reviews. Not a good deal. She insisted on a Hoover(she’s 80 and stuck in her ways) and this product had excellent reviews, was a Consumer Reports Best Buy and a far better price that the one she saw. She agreed and we bought. Came quickly,was extremely easy to assemble and very light-weight. She turned it on to test and it almost vacuummed itself. She loved the almost self-propelled aspect and said it was doing a better job that her tried & true, 15 y/o Hoover ever had. Only wish it had come with a couple bags, but at this price, not a big issue.
