Here's what I like and don't like so much about it so far (I'll update this review if my experience changes over time - one edit added to the end): Pros: 1. I saw dust bunnies come from a few inches away to get sucked into the vacuum, which doesn't always happen with uprights. I reviewed the quick start guide to make sure I didn't miss anything, but this is one of the easiest vacuums I've assembled and disassembled for cleaning. Not only does everything snap in and out easily, the attachment points are clearly labeled in large, friendly letters that I don't need my bifocals to read. Other vacuums I've used take a lot longer to get used to, which seems trivial until you spend a couple hours pushing the wrong buttons because you're not paying attention. The swivel head does a very good job of cornering in any direction, and the handle bends down far enough to get a decent distance under furniture. While I was cleaning the first time, I knocked a full glass of milk all over the floor. The dirty water cannister has lots of places for pet hair to collect, and I'm sure not going to wash that all down the sink to cause clogs. The best bet is rinsing it with a hose in the yard, but paper towels over the trash can also work. In my experience, washing rugs without proper extraction actually makes them get dirtier a lot faster. The multi-surface worked fine on my tile and vinyl bathroom floors, but it left my hardwoods really streaky. I ended up substituting my Bona Professional Hardwood Concentrate, 1 Gallon, which is what my floor manufacturer and installer both recommended anyway. The solution tank goes empty a few minutes before you realize it (the brush stays wet and trigger light comes on, so it looks like it's working), so you'll probably have to go back over some areas. The dirty water tank is also supposed to make a higher-pitched sound when it's full, but I've never been able to tell any difference. While I like the logical arrangement, it's MUCH too easy to hit the trigger and/or the hardwood buttons inadvertently. Many, many times I'll be moving the machine, or trying to get under something, or just cleaning, and I'll see the front lights go on to tell me I'm hitting the water trigger. My favorite vacuum (if one can have a favorite vacuum) is the Shark NV650 (current model Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet (NV752)), which has spoiled me with its excellent attachments, headlight, and lift-away handle that lets me get under everything in my house. Overall, I'd love to see Bissell improve this cleaner enough to mean I really don't need a separate vacuum. I still pull out a regular vacuum for the area rugs, and to use the attachments for more thorough cleaning because of this unit's limitations."
"For the filter after I clean the house I rinse off the debris and soak it in water with dawn dish soap overnight then rinse and let air dry and no more smell to it and it looks brand new."
"I’ve used Bona on my hardwood for years and although it looked pretty good I know it wasn’t clean. I’ve also used a Hoover Floormate about once a month and although it did clean the floor more than just spraying and spreading Bona around weekly, it just seemed to put too much water out on the hardwood. (Not for deep cleaning though). Now the disgusting part – The dirty water reservoir! The unit is also very easy to use, gets close to baseboards, swivels to get under things and is light."
"The motor assembly is now junk because it can not be repaired (by design) , even by a professional. The complex and powerful motor unit is made of a very easy to break plastic that appears similar to Bakelite a thermo-setting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde," if it is Bakelite -. again not environmentally friendly." I am left with a pile of useless parts and not determined to repair this unit because the first bearing was destroyed with moisture in only 60 days."

"Thank God it works."
"Occasionally the carpet can start to smell like puppies so we use this about once a year."
"My cat was sick over a couple of days and threw up all over the carpet in the living and dining area and I didn't think with such a huge mess, I would ever be able to get the stains out, so I pulled out my Hoover Carpet cleaner and put this in with super hot water and went to work. It is expensive for such a small bottle, that's why I gave it 4 stars, but in the end I think It's worth it for what a great job it did."
"I use it with my Bissell Big Green carpet cleaning machine."
"It doesn't work as well as I would like it to on the accidents, but if you just need a carpet refresher and don't have to deal with doggy accidents, this would be perfect!!"
"I have 2 cats, and as most cat owners know, cats vomit."
"The smell on this product is a very strong fake cotton smell."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Hate to break the news to some of you people who thought buying the BG10 was a better deal than the 86T3. The 86 comes with a 5 year warranty, a black power chord, and an accessory kit. The BG10 comes with a one year warranty, a yellow detachable power chord , and no accessory kit ( must be purchased separately for an additional 55 dollars). I have seen several reviews on this thread where people say that they bought the "Commercial " BG10 over the "Professional" 86T3 because the BG10 has 2 motors whereas the 86 has only one motor."
"The small picture I posted should give you an idea of 1-2 passes. Every unit I've used has had annoying tanks that are hard to put back or take off or plastic pieces that fall off, break, you forget how to unclip and just a hassle to take down and fill with water. It's not heavy to move so you can have the kids or your wife do it :). This is the type of carpet cleaner that will get you laid."
"Very easy to operate, and it has paid for itself many times over due to its ease of use!"
"I like having the separate clean water and dirty water."
"My old carpet cleaner years ago left lots of water, this one does not and dries in only a few hours."
"We love this machine - it is easy to use and really cleans the carpet."
"Does exactly what it's supposed, no disappointments."

Find Best Price at Amazon"People are knocking it for poor battery performance and lack of suction, however, keep in mind, this does not replace a full size vacuum. As for battery performance - I've used it 3-4 times before I decided to charge it; not because it died or loses power, but just personal preference, and that is not an inconvenience at all. People also complain about the corner brushes not on the newer model, however, this has not prohibited me from sucking things up that were nearly touching the baseboards - anything tighter, you would need an actual broom/pan. In all, keep in mind what people are rating this low for and what they're using it for - for me, it was to clean up the food left over (mostly) in the kitchen and has been a great addition."
"My husband and I purchased one of these Shark Cordless Carpet Sweepers and couple of years ago. I have a bigger vacuum I use weekly and I have cleaning ladies come in every couple of weeks to do the heavy cleaning and wanted to use the Shark regularly around the cat's litter box, the kitchen and a quick run over the carpeting especially fuzz and things that tend to show on a light carpet. I reading some of the reviews, I realized that others have had the same problem with that particular sweeper, so I decided to go back with the Shark. some said it only picked up going forward and when you pulled it back, it put what you had just swept up back on the floor. It picks up well both on my hardwood kitchen floor, my tile bathroom floor and carpeting through the rest of the place. Also several reviewers complained about the suction, but since this is a carpet SWEEPER and not a VACUUM I don't believe that it has suction so to speak of . My daughter and her fiancé bought me a Eureka vacuum for the carpeting (the Shark vacuum with the motor up by the top of the handle is a real back killer and the collection cup is too small and you have to take it apart into five pieces just to get to the cup and one of the filters is cardboard so it is going to be sold the vacuum that is not this sweeper), so I don't need to use this sweeper too often for the carpeting now."
"This sweeper really picks up a lot of dirt on my wooden floors and carpet."
"Works perfectly for my small apartment."
"I use this everyday and works great."
"It's light weight and easy to use."
"I like the carpet sweeper however it was listed as used very good condition."
"DISAPPOINTED...TAKES SOOO LONG TO RECHARGE BATTERY."

The new soft roller cleaner head works well for hardwood floors, but on corners, I find myself having to go back with the crevice tool to finish the job. I use the direct drive cleaner head for low pile carpets, but the mini motorized tool works better for shag rugs (and car floor mats/upholstery)."
"Got mine yesterday, charged it, vacuumed my downstairs with it this morning. By the time I was finished, the skin on the knuckle at the base of my thumb was worn off from being rubbed on the handle above the switch where there is a little plastic "seam"."
"I was familiar with the V6 so I kept waiting for the battery to exhaust it's charge but it kept going. We have a long haired German Shepard and had to empty the V8 three times."
"I find it hard to believe that a company that spends a great deal of time marketing the design excellence of its product would fail so wholly at something so basic as phone customer service and parts replacement. In November I began the process of trying to replace the part thinking a simple call would take care of things, but was stymied on a few occasions by hold times above 30 minutes, and it wasn’t until December 17 when I finally had the time to 'wait it out' and speak to a representative. After he apparently pulled a demo unit out to see what I was talking about (I offered to email photos) and tried to convince me that the crimp obstructing nearly 50% of the hose diameter was part of the design, he created an order for a part and informed me that in 5-8 business days my problem would be solved. After more than 50 minutes, I reached a representative who then had to place me on a further hold to tell me that parts were not available for the vacuum since it was so new, and that in order to replace the part, I would have to replace the entire vacuum. I was told without any humor that replacing the part cannot be completed without my FIRST going to a UPS store with the vacuum and its attachments, receiving a tracking number, and then CALLING customer service back. Even glacially slow-to-adopt USPS allows callers to opt out of physical hold times and receive a phone call back in the order they were received."
