Bissell Versus Vacuum Cleaner 76T8 Features

• Bagless design
• V shaped base
• Swivel head
• No brush roll

Bagless Design

The bagless design of the vacuum saves you money. No more expensive vacuum bags to buy ever! The dirt container is easy to remove and empty, just slide the locking switch and pull the container out. Take it to your nearest trash receptacle and dump!

V Shaped Base

This is a vacuum with a unique shape. A powerful 12-amp motor vacuum swiftly removes dirt and debris as they are directed to the center of the V. It has a wide 13 inch cleaning path and is capable of edge to edge cleaning.

Swivel Head

The vacuum head swivels, allowing for easy cleaning in hard to reach areas.

Brushless Technology

The brushless design of the vacuum means it is safe for all hard surface floors. No revolving brush to scratch your beautiful wood or marble floors.

This also means there is very little brush maintenance involved. There’s no need to be concerned about lengthy threads, fibers, or hairs becoming tangled repeatedly around a brush. You also don’t have to worry about accidentally catching the fringe of an expensive area rug in a brush.

Bissell Versus Vacuum Cleaner 76T8 Recommendations

Many reviewers felt that this product offered good value and performed as expected. Many people mentioned that adjusting to the distinctive head required some time, but after becoming familiar with the swiveling motion and the V-shaped design, they found it performed excellently. The positive reviews went on to say that the Bissell had a lot of suction and worked really well on cat hair, food crumbs, and other debris. It was much more effective than getting out a broom and dustpan.

The negative comments included the power cord is short. At 19 and 2/3 feet, I’d have to agree, this sounds like a short cord, and I would think you’d either be looking for outlets or investing in an extension cord.

Other negative comments included that it was unstable when you go to use the hose. The best advice seems to be to lay it down when using the hose, so it does fall over on you. (It sounds like it’s very easy to pull the vacuum over onto your self-ouch!)

The other feedback concerned the exhaust vent. It’s directly above the collection area, so if you’re not careful, you’ll blow debris away before you can vacuum it. The solution seems to be to make sure the handle isn’t in the straight up position, if it’s slightly angled, this doesn’t seem to be too much or a problem.
