Bissell Healthy Home Vacuum Review

I bought this vacuum cleaner about 10 months ago as a replacement to one I had had for about 10 years.  Four months ago, the brush option on the front of the vacuum stopped working.  I cleaned the brush thinking maybe there was some impediment (my daughter has really long hair).  Sure enough there was a great deal of human hair wrapped around the brush. Afterwards the brush started to work again.  BUT then I noticed there was no suction.  I have cleaned everything I have access to and it still doesn't have any suction except via the attachments.  So the only way I can use the vacuum is with the hose and the attachments.

I'm very angy and will NEVER buy another Bissell product.  EVER!
