Bissell 16n5 Vacuum Cleaner

Bissell 16n5 is an upright vacuum cleaner which falls into the healthy home floor cleaner family. The wider nozzle + the 12 Amp motor (with motorized brushes) is capable of performing on carpets, all types of bare floors and stairs, etc as well. And according to Bissell the 16n5 has a technology called "Air Tight" which is capable of blocking (associated with HEPA filters actually) 100% of dust mites and allergens and 99.99% of pet dander as well.  

Here are the main specifications first...

*. Upright designs and bagless (read more about bags in this henry vacuum cleaner article).

*. 9x multi cyclonic (meaning better suctions).

*. Seven different height adjustments available.

*. 15" cleaning head.

*. The dust cup is easy to use (emptying, etc) and has a capacity of 15 ounces. 

*. Also has the micro ban technology which reduces bacteria growth in your carpets, etc.

*. For accessories - a crevice tool, upholstery brush and an extension wand are provided.

*. A soft bumper is also embedded which protects furniture, etc against scratches while cleaning.

*. Has 9 meters (roughly) power cable which is very long and power on/off switch is mounted on the handle.

*. It is a very powerful device, no doubt about it but the weight is the biggest disappointment for those who're looking for a portable vacuum cleaner. It weights about 13.8 kg!. But while pulling and pushing the weight won't come in between nonetheless.

*. Has a 5 years of warranty as well.

So far the weight is the only issue. So if you're okay with that then at a reasonable price (not the most cheapest but again in comparison with oreck edge vacuum cleaner for instance this is way cheaper and does a very similar job too). This is one of the best vacuum cleaner products for pet hair removal too. The height adjustments will have to be done manually (very easy by the way).

The HEPA filters are very durable and also washable too. And the blushes automatically turn off when it is on an upright position. Both the long wire cord + the 8ft hose attachment, altogether make a lot of coverage and aren't any complaints there. The dust cup is large and easy to use. And this floor cleaning tool has a lots of power behind it so be careful when pointing the extension hose at subtle materials. And the noise is not loud neither quiet (somewhere in between which is still quite tolerable).

So as a final conclusion, please be aware that this is one of the heaviest vacuum cleaners I've seen so far and won't fit if you have to lift it quite often. Other than that all you want is a very powerful vacuum with 5 years of warranty (and a lifetime belt warranty!), then the bissell 16n5 upright vacuum cleaner just rocks!.

As you can see, it has a comfortable handle, smoother wheels and a wider nozzle but the apparent drawback is the weight. But unless you're going to need carry it around lifting then the weight isn't going to cause any major issues (13kg roughly), but not suitable for lifting.

It can be used on carpets, upholstery, bare floors and stairs.Where the wider nozzle doesn't fit you can use the crevice tool with the hose attachment and the upholstery on stairs as well. The nozzle has a beater brush which is especially designed to deep clean carpets (including both dust and pet hair). But make sure to turn it off while on hard floors (delicate hardwood for instance) to avoid any damages.

The dust cup is easy to use but remember to clean it (wash) to avoid any odors. The telescopic wand is a nice touch which lets you clean upper areas such as stairs, etc however it is a plastic made but you can pay a bit more and purchase a aluminum wand for better durability (won't be necessary for most of us anyway). If you're using it on furniture for example then make sure to use the contour nozzle. 

So if you're comfortable with the weight and the price, then the bissell healthy home is one of the best upright for heavy duty jobs. A highly recommended product.
