I bought this to replace my Electrolux Ergorapido which lasted about 2-3 years before battery died. Bissell has great suction and works well on my wood floors to carpet to rugs. I have since gone back to the Electolux stick lithium this time as the sound of Bissell too annoying as it was a lot louder that other stick vacuum cleaners. Battery life is amazing though and hardly have to recharge. do not miss it now I have gone back to Electrolux.
great suction, excellent battery life
a bit louder than other stick vacuum cleaners

I've read a few reviews about the cordless Dyson vacuum before deciding to go with the Bissell Air Ram. I've never owned a Dyson but was so to close to buying one until I read the reviews! I'm glad I did as it has been great since I started using it. Its powerful suction and long battery life have been saving my precious time in cleaning a 4 bedroom house. We have both hardwood floor in the common areas and carpets in all bedrooms and AirRam has been doing a great job. For the whole full house, it only takes half of the fully charged battery.
Powerful suction and long battery life
A bit messy and difficult to clean the filter

We've had many cordless vacuum cleaners and this one is the best so far. Suction power very strong. Sucks just as good as my powered vacuum even on carpets. Very maneuverable, light and looks great. Charging is easy. We vacuum the whole house and it's left with 3/4 bars on the led indicator. The head is very wide, at least 3-4 in wider than the Dysons. This means it takes less time to vacuum (less walking).
Powerful, maneuverable, light, wide head

Comes with an extra 1 year extended warranty if warranty is received by Bissell within 14 days of purchase
The Bissell website has a promotion whereby purchasers between 26 December 2013 - 28 February 2014 at any participating Australian retailer can receive a free additional battery.
Thank you to all those who placed a review of this vacuum cleaner because i am now a very happy owner of one
I have all tiled floor surfaces and it easily vacuums up sand, dust balls, pets fur, crumbs, bits of paper, anything really.
Vacuums up right to the edges of skirting boards
Loving having no corded barrell vacuum to drag around.

The noise! Thinking of buying ear muffs

Been using this for the last 3 months and am very happy with it. Easy to use. Lightweight, efficient & has cut vacuuming time considerably. Whilst these are not cheap, the job it does means only doing a complete vac with the full size machine a once a fortnight thing. The power head works really well and the only criticism is that the dust containers don't hold enough... 3bedroom, lounge & entrance hallway requires 3 empties. I have used Bissell carpet sweepers etc for decades and always liked them. This offering is a continuance of the brand name.
Everything works like always with Bissell. Love cordless.
Dust container a bit small

The best cordless cleaner ever. Good suction and works well on all floor surfaces
Battery lasts long enough to do whole house. It is easy to empty,stands up by itself and I cannot fault it.
Does not like fluffy rugs and carpet fringes.
Not the most elegant to look at but it really does the job!
Better than others I have had.
Nothing

I love my Bissell AirRAM. I did lots of research on cordless vacuums and it was between this and the Dyson models. The AirRAM is cheaper and the battery last way longer. The AirRAM is light, moves so easily and has so much power it is great on carpet and good on hard floors. It sits up by itself too which is a bonus as I don't have to worry about it falling if propped up against a wall.
The power, good battery life and ease of use.
Only downside is it'll suck up everything! (which means if you are a tad lazy like me the odd sock will get stuck in the turbines.) Doesnt suck sand up that well on hard floors.

I am so pleased I bought this vaccum, it is so light, no cords, great swivel & the power is unbelievable, instructions say it takes 4 hours to completely power up but it did now take this long, I was a bit concerned at first with no accessories but with the turbo like brush head it picks up right to the wall no problems, my old vaccum is now in the cupboard kept for accessories only! It far surpasses my other well known brand! Love it!
No cord, power, swivel,turbo head.
Nothing

Never have i been so impressed with a vacuum cleaner,it is so efficient and convenient we no longer use our full size well known brand vacuum cleaner,battery life before recharging is exceptional,when not in use it stands in our laundry and when needed just switch on and go,no nuisance cords to plug in and get tangled around feet while dragging around our full size cleaner,battery charging is so easy and quick,
and may i add this Bissell AirRAM can do all our various floors,thank you Bissell for a great product.
So easy to use.
How can you improve on perfection.

What a machine!!!, the Bissell Air Ram replaced my big heavy to drag around Dyson and I am really happy. No loss of suction, no more tripping over cords or having the cord caught around furniture. The job was done in half the time. I was apprehensive about the suction at first but the carpet came up like new and the hard floors were cleaned well too. I was amazed at the amount of dirt the machine actually picked up. Will save up now for a Bissell steam mop. .
Everything, its easy to use and is an efficient cleaner

Useful addition to my collectin of cleaning tools. Bear in mind this is a sweeper not a proper vacuum cleaner. This is probably the best rechargeable sweeper available by far. It does a goog visual clean but not a touch on my proper vacuum . A lot of dirt remains in the pile so if you rely on this as a main cleaner your carpet would not be as clean as it looks.
Good for a quick visual clean,
Relatively expensive, bit noisy, no detachable hand held unit,
