A: It's not gonna be quiet but it is a vacuum. it is considerably quieter than my previous vacuum (was an airspeed unlimited pet i believe.)
A: I can't give you a technical answer with a rating in decibels, however I can say that this vacuum is not loud. It does emit a humming/buzzing sound which I think is actually pleasant compared to other vacuums I have owned over the years
A: They are all loud! I returned this one as I did with several others because I could not push them!! I have carpet in the bedrooms and the big thing these days is suction! I eventually bought a Hoover Wind Tunnel which is also loud but on the highest setting, I can push it!
A: I don't think its too loud, but I also don't have children!
A: Hi Tjohnson - the volume of this vacuum is comparable to other upright vacuum cleaners.
A: You have to do it yourself, but it’s a great vacuum
A: Hi Flores - this mode does not have a rewind but check out the next step up with does, The CleanView Rewind: https://www.target.com/p/bissell-174-cleanview-174-rewind-pet-1820/-/A-16469021
A: By hand but it is worth it to me.
A: I bought this vacuum for use on a large patio (which is tiled and has a large area rug) and to use in the garage to clean out cars. I think it works good on flat surfaces and on rugs. You do have to manually turn the dial to adjust to the different heights. It's very affordable and you can always return it if you try it and it doesn't work to your specific needs.
A: HI YMJ - this vacuum is designed for bare floors and carpet and has a height adjust from bare floors to high pile carpet. For best results and if your home is a majority hard wood, a vacuum with a brush on off switch may work better for your needs.
A: I have one bedroom, two bathrooms, and one kitchen that all have hard floors and I think the vacuum works pretty well on them. I also usually use a Swiffer wet jet afterwards.
A: This vacuum is 12.5 lbs.
A: this vacuum weighs 12.5 lbs
A: Hi Christina - this is a bagless vacuum!
A: this vacuum s bagless
A: Hi GW - this vacuum has an 8 amp vacuum motor.
A: the 1300 series has 10 amps
A: You bet! This vacuum is great for picking up pet hair and fur.
A: In my opinion, yes. It does a good job on the floor and on my dog's bed, where I use one of the attachments.
A: Great question! There is a washable pre-motor filter located in the top of the dirt tank and a pleated post motor filter which is not washable. This filter can, however, be tapped against a waste bin to remove any dust.
A: Yes there is a foam filter that is washable- just make sure to let it completely dry before putting it back.
A: Hi Marilyn. It really depends on the model and what meets your needs. If we can help, please contact us anytime at support.bissell.com.
A: Hi Donnell This vacuum doesn't have a Hepa filter. It has a multi-level filtration system and washable filters.
