I just brought a Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. I didn't want the expense of a Dyson as I have carpet now in the majority of my home, but will be having all tile put in by the end of the year. I have an oreck that absolutely does NOTHING on the carpet, but is fine on other surfaces. So I found the Bissell. Put it together and I could not believe the dog hair and sand it took out of my carpet, at least until the belt broke! First time using it belt broke. So back it went. Customer service said I had the carpet setting set too low. After thinking of my options, I had a change of heart and went back an bought another one thinking that the first one was a fluke. Put it together and half way thru the vacuuming, yep, the belt broke again. I had the carpet setting on medium instead of low. So it is going back to Best Buy. I now have to find a vacuum that will work like the Bissell that doesn't break. Any ideas?
