This isn’t a sealed HEPA system-just one that’s capable of meeting the criteria.

A foam prefilter sits below the dirt holder, and another disposable paper filter on the side of the unit provides HEPA filtration. It’s lighter and easier to hold than a whole filter/dust holder assembly, but you risk getting some dirt on your hands if you're lucky, you'll know where it's from.

Another problem: once again, the big brushroll keeps on turnin’, just sitting on your carpet in the same spot where it will pulverize those poor little fibers. When decoupled from the cleaner head, it does allow for some movement away from the vacuum itself, but stray too far and the whole device will tip and clatter to the floor. This cleaner's hose is the sole source of suction. Worst of all is the lack of a brushroll on/off switch, which means there's a good chance you may scratch hardwood floors over time if you insist on cleaning them with this machine.

The controls on this machine are quite spread out: a pedal on the base of the vacuum unlocks it from the upright position, another pedal retracts the power cord (hence the 'Rewind' moniker), a height adjuster is located on the front of the unit, and a power switch is found in the middle of the cleaner’s left side. The BISSELL has significantly better performance on carpet, its lighter, and it has a.
