The Bissell 82G71 Momentum Cyclonic Upright Vacuum is an inexpensive yet very effective vacuum cleaner. The Bissell 82G71 is lightweight, easy to use out of the box and does a satisfactory job on floors and carpeted areas. It is brought to you by Bissell a company that has over 130 years of experience in the business of keeping things clean and has a number of firsts to its credits.
Features and Performance
Some vacuum cleaners work well on hard floors, whereas other models do a good job on carpets.
This particular model has the ability to clean multiple types of surfaces. You don't have to worry about your hard floors, carpets, stairs, upholstery or even your car. Equipped with a height adjustment knob that has seven settings it is compatible with all types of surfaces.
The model provides great suction power that can be notched up to a maximum of 12 amps. That is a lot of suction power and is sufficient for handling virtually all types of cleaning requirements.
A HEPA filtration system is very necessary to keep the surroundings in your home not just clean of dust but also virtually free of various allergy causing agents such as dust & microscopic particles, pollen and dust mites. Such a feature is a boon for people suffering from allergies. The Momentum 82G71 comes equipped with a HEPA filter that removes 99.99% of allergens.
The HEPA media filter captures other potential allergens from the air, and has a track record of collecting 99.9% of dust mites, pollens, and ragweed.
The model is equipped with a 35 foot power cord and a 15 inch cleaning head. Simply translated this means two benefits. You can carry it around anywhere in your home without having to take out the plug and put it into another socket. You also need fewer strokes to clean a given area.
Summary
A moderately priced vacuum cleaner that is good for homes with carpeting and bare floors. It can be easily used out of the box as it is easy to assemble. Good suction power and overall performance in a not so expensive package.

I can't say anything truly negative about this vacuum. I'm a guy, and I don't like to clean, but this makes it easy because it works well and allows me to work fast and not end up with a spotty job. Picks up pet hair with ease. It's well balanced and easy to move. It may just be me, but I get the cord tangled with the hose a lot after using attachments. That's the only negative thing I can think of.
Our last Bissell lasted us over 5 years (and only died bc i accidentally sucked up some water) so we're hoping for the same good life from this one.
Buy it!
Started out good, but soon became useless

I've had a Bissell Momentum vacuum that I bought from Costco for a couple years. At first it picked up everything, and I thought it was much better than my previous bagged vacuum cleaner. Somehow a bunch of dog hair began to clog up the machine, which I carefully removed, but the suction was still poor due to the filters getting dirty very quickly. With a statement like that you'd think I was breeding dogs in the house or something, but I only have one medium sized lab/beagle, and she doesn't shed all that much. So, I spent some more money on a new HEPA filter, and things were working for a while again.
Not much later, the vacuum starts leaving a trail of dirt and hair, and the roller stops rotating when I push it forward. Besides being underpowered, it seems as though the carpet level dial no longer works, and the roller is dragging on the floor.
Unfortunately Bissell only covers it for one year. Maybe I can purchase replacement parts from them, but at that point I might as well buy a whole new one.
I'm starting to look at commercial grade vacuums. They're ugly, expensive, and use bags, but they seem like they would last much longer.
best vacuum yet

i bought this vacuum for the clubhouse at our condo. the week before it came i vacuumed and steam cleaned my carpet within an inch of its life. when the Bissell came i put it together and gave it a trail run. it pulled up an unbelievable amount of stuff. we got rid of the Miele and got one of these for our home.
So, so

I purchased this vacuum within the last few months. I use it almost everyday. I was at first very impressed! I own a cat and a dog so hair was my main issue! The pet attachment is awesome and works wonderfully! Well that was until the hose broke. I noticed a weird noise and realized the hose had a small tear in it which of course became bigger untill it finally broke free from its main attactment. I tried to reattach the hose but was unsuccessful. The actual vacuum is ok. It was easy to put together and very easy to empty. It picks up a decent amount of smaller dust and what not but if there's something on the floor like a thread, noticable hair, a small piece of paper, etc. the vacuum wont pick it up! Even after running over it several times it just wont get it! I do love the pet attachment but now I'm unable to use it :( So basically I should have just saved my money and got a better vacuum....
Great

I like this vacuum but my only issue is that I would prefer the brush to stop while using the attachments. Other than that, powerful and effective. My Wife was shocked at how much it sucked up.

The cyclonic cleaning technology in the Bissell Momentum vacuum offers powerful suction, which when combined with the exclusive DirtLifter brush system provides superior cleaning. With this technology, more debris stays in the dirt container versus the filters, meaning your filters stay clean longer. And cleaner filters mean less clogging and more suction...providing improved overall cleaning performance.
