Bissell vacuum cleaners came into being when Melville Bissell of Grand Rapids, Michigan, wanted to help his wife, Anna, get sawdust out of her carpets – brooms just could not do it effectively. Being mechanically inclined, Melville invented the first carpet sweeper.  What he really invented was one of the world’s first vacuum cleaners. This was in 1876. Since that time, Bissell vacuum cleaners have been helping people clean their floors and thus improve their quality of life.

Nowadays the range of Bissell vacuum cleaners is large. What is required? A premium or basic model, lots of accessories or none, upright, canister or stick, with bags or without, big and versatile or small and convenient – Bissell has them all!

With the concern today about allergens in the home one of the Bissell vacuum cleaners, called the Healthy Home Vacuum, will actually help reduce the amount of these allergens in the carpet. It can also be used on hard floors. Pet hair is also easily vacuumed up with this model. The filtration system incorporated in this cleaner effectively takes care of all these allergy causing worries.

The stick model Bissell vacuum cleaners are lightweight and easy to use. They are very versatile and can be converted into a hand vacuum cleaner by removing the stick. It is also reasonably priced and has been given a Consumer Guide Best Buy award – which means that it is the best product, at the best price in its category.

In the Bissell vacuum cleaners range there is also a model that is not only an upright cleaner but also has a removable canister so it combines the best of both worlds.

Most Bissell vacuum cleaners are now bagless. There is no need to be buying extra bags for the machine. They have a container which just needs to be removed and emptied when it is full.

The handles on bissell vacuum cleaners are now ergonomically designed making them much more comfortable to use.

The larger models have a wide cleaning path thus taking less time to clean a room and have a powerful motor which increases suction power. Most Bissell vacuum cleaners can also be used on hard floors – so their use is not only confined to carpeted floors.

As the domestic vacuum cleaner market has been increasing at 15 – 20% per annum since 2006 bissell vacuum cleaners have had to keep at the forefront of innovation and technology to keep up a reasonable market share. The Bissell vacuum cleaners range certainly offers consumers a wide choice based on many factors – versatility, size, power and price. These factors also make them a force to be reckoned with in a very competitive market.

Mr Melville Bissell should be justifiably very proud of the company which he founded 133 years ago. For a company to have lasted this long in an industry that is so competitive it must be giving the market place what it wants. Bissell vacuum cleaners have made their mark in helping households to keep their floors clean and homes are pleasant place to live.
