BISSELL HealthyHome Vacuum: BISSELL HealthyHome Vacuum featuring AireTight HEPA Filtration System which is great for purifying the air while you vacuum! The AireTight HEPA Filtration System means that all the air that exits the vacuum is HEPA filtered. A HEPA filter captures particles as small as 0.3 microns (100 times smaller than a human hair!). The Healthy Home Vacuums filter captures 99.9% of particles like pollen, ragweed, and mold spores. This is important because many vacuums spread these airborne allergens by spraying them back into the air while you vacuum. In comparison, our AireTight HEPA Filtration System actually purifies the air while you are vacuuming!

Dream Machine? 🙂,
BISSELL Healthy Home Upright Bagless Vacuum, 16N5F, Green
I’ve wanted to switch to a bagless vacuuming system for awhile, now — simply because constantly having to buy vacuum bags, remembering what size and model number, and “the extra expense” seems to be an unnecessary evil — if ya know what I mean.
For comparison, My current vacuum is an allergy filtration (as I have a couple of constantly shedding pets — Rottweilers and kitty cats), 18.0 – 12 amp motor, Hoover upright with 5 carpet heights and floor mode with an assortment of tools and is “not” bagless. It gets the job done, but has a few irritating problems. My home gets vacuumed, thoroughly, twice a week.
BISSELL Healthy Home Upright Bagless Vacuum, 16N5F, Green is impressive right out of the box. A larger vacuum than my Hoover, with a nice sturdy feel and in a pretty minty green color.
a few things that really stood out for Me:
Easy to put together, just 4 screws and one is good-to-go, as they say.
Large see through bagless canister — It’s really fun to watch all the stuff getting sucked into the canister… Well, the see-through canister may also come in handy if one ever drops an earring or the Kitty decides to make a toy out of Your Engagement ring while you are soaking in the Jacuzzi — and it ends up in the carpet — never to be found till vacuuming day. One could actually see it, in the canister — as opposed to digging through a funky bag of debris — as with my Hoover).
15″ wide sweeper head, with rubberized bumper guards — gets the job done a lot faster! ‘nuf said! 🙂
A large height adjustment dial with 6 carpet heights and a bare floor mode. Dial is easy to read, and turn, for desired selection.
Very long cord — the vacuum also has a quick release cord thingy so one does not have to spend a lot of time unwinding.
2 button, fingertip, operation on handle — “Power On” and “Brush”. a “plus” if ya ask me, as I do not want the brush rotating when I’m using the attachments, or vacuuming a floor with a hard surface.
Wide foot pedal, on left, for releasing vacuum from upright position.
Large back wheels — the wheels roll very well on My ceramic and vinyl tiles without scratching or leaving indentations. the BISSELL Healthy Home Upright Bagless Vacuum, 16N5F glided over My carpeted areas — which are a deep plush with thick padding — without dragging.
A wonderful assortment of attachment tools like a TurboBrush Tool (great for cleaning fabric furniture and stairs), Combination Brush, Crevice Tool, and a Telescoping Extension Wand for getting hard to reach places.
BISSELL Healthy Home Upright Bagless Vacuum, 16N5F, is not as eardrum piercingly loud as my Hoover. Actually, the hum of the vacuum is rather pleasant.
Clean-up is a breeze! Just press large button on top of see through dirt canister to release from vacuum, press large button at bottom of canister to open bottom…empty into trash container. tip: pet hair seems to not want to come out easily, but just get out one of those unused chopsticks (most have in kitchen drawer) and gently poke pet hair debris to loosen. When finished, close bottom lid and snap canister back in place. Easy! 🙂
The three filters are easy to get to for maintenance.
…there are many more features to explore.
Does the BISSELL Healthy Home Upright Bagless Vacuum, 16N5F, sound like what you may be looking for? 🙂 A Pleasure to use! *wonders what to spend all the extra money on that usually went to vacuum bags* Highly Recommended! –Katharena Eiermann, 2012
I’ve (recently) reviewed the BISSELL OptiClean Pet Upright Vacuum, Bronze, 30C7T, an excellent machine, imo, if one has shedding Pets! 🙂

|Powerful brush and suction,
The brush on this vacuum is powerful. My wife was trying it out when she said that the vacuum felt like it was pulling itself across the carpet. The main suction is also very strong. It did a great job cleaning up the carpet and the hardwood floor. It has a nice handle in the front for carrying and a very long cord.
I had a problem with the brushing attachment on the telescoping pole. It uses suction to spin the brush, and it spins up fine but as soon as it contacts anything it stops rendering it useless. Nothing appear to be cracked or missing in the attachment. I think there may be some air escaping out of the telescoping pole. I didn’t have this issue with the brushing attachment for the the BISSELL 58F83 Rewind SmartClean, Blue model.
Pro: Good Suction on the main vacuum
Pro: has carrying handle
Pro: has hose and attachments
Pro: bag-less
Pro: strong agitating brush
Pro: Large headlight
Pro: Long cord
Con: Weak brushing attachment power
Con: Heavy

|Wow! What a Difference!,
We liked our old vacuum but we wanted more and what we wanted cost too much. When we saw this vacuum at a reasonable price we figured we’d give it a try. The day it arrived my husband wanted to try it out right away and the next thing I knew, the entire house was vacuumed. Even the wooden floors! This vacuum is so versatile and easy to use.
But wait. How hard are vacuums to use, really? Not much. The truly amazing thing about this vacuum is we have two Siberian huskies and we were using this during “blow out season.” If you know nothing about Siberian huskies, trust me when I say that “shedding” is an inadequate description of what they do. If you are familiar with the breed then you know how remarkable it is that even during a blow-out we couldn’t find evidence of fur in our carpet or on the floors.
However, there is one caveat. The Turbo-Brush attachment is great for picking up pet hair, etc., but the place where it’s supposed to click into place for storage on the body of the machine itself is not strong enough to hold it. The minute you turn on the vacuum or roll it around, the vibrations cause the attachment to fall off. I have never actually owned a vacuum that could hold this attachment and when I saw how this one was designed I had a ray of hope because it looked like someone finally got it right. They didn’t.
Other than that, this is a great product and a bargain when compared to the more expensive ones out there making similar HEPA claims. Delighted and highly recommended.
