Ambiguous vacuum cleaner review: "This thing really sucks".
After having accidentally bought the wrong vacuum cleaner* 4 years ago (a Bissell CleanView II), I'm finally planning to replace it. The accidental one is bagless (I hadn't planned to go bagless!), and while it still works, it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to. I'm also very tired of the maintenance it requires. About every other time I empty the dust cup, the filters are clogged with dust too, so I have to take them apart and wash them and let them dry. And this last time, the HEPA filter (which is a non-washable one that you have to buy replacements for) only lasted 3 months - you can notice that it needs to be replaced when the exhaust air starts smelling foul.
Out of curiosity, I looked up some reviews for the bagless model I have, and found the one above. At first I was confused, as the title of the review seemed to conflict with the number of stars given (4 out of 5).
* - After having spent a lot of attention on the floor models, I didn't pay enough attention to which box I pulled from the shelf. But in my defense, the correct one and the incorrect one were both red!
