I got my purple one a couple years ago, and I just LOVE it. I now use it more than I use the big one. Just a note, they have a filter in them that is attached to a plastic frame. I have gently washed my filter several times and allowed it to air dry for 24 hours before re-using. Do NOT use dish soap, you need a cleaner that rinses easily for this. I use warm water and Windex to clean mine. The key is be gentle, and not hot water! We have indoor pets, so my filter gets pretty icky.

Thanks for the tip. $14 is not much money. I might just go for this.

I also buy bags for my upright Bissell online. I get 12 of them for $9.99!

Thanks for your review of this. I saw it at WalMart last night, and wondered if it worked.

I may go get one. I need something lightweight. My DH does the vacuuming as the one we have is so heavy.

Need one for small clean ups.
