To anyone thinking of purchasing the Bissell Flip-It, my recommendation is to Forget-It!! I just purchased one today about 1 hour ago. However, when I tried to use the dry vacuum side, the cleaning solution leaked out of the wet side. When I tried to use the wet side, the sprayer didn't work. The only thing that did work was the part to suck up the mess it created. After calling the customer service center and going through the trouble shooting, which included checking to see if water was in the tank, I was told where the nearest service center was located. I wish I would have read the reviews and saved some time. Needless to say, I'm on my way back to return it and get my money back.

We currently live in an apartment with hardwood floors. We did not intend to purchase this particular model, but the features made us take a chance. Delivery was quicker than expected and it arrived in perfect condition. Once we tried it, we were convinced that it was the best decision we'd ever made. Dry and wet operation was both simple and efficient. Floors were dry within moments which was incredible

I purchased this product to make cleaning my laminate floors easier. No such luck. It was so hard to push when trying to soak the floor and then suck it back up. It's as if there was actually too much suction and I couldn't actually move the machine! I'm not some feeble woman either. I used it about 3-4 times and I found it to be so much more cumbersome than a regular old mop and bucket so I returned it. The product was so bad that I have been super resistant to buying any other type of bare floor cleaner. I've finally broken down and ordered a Shark Steam Pocket Mop after reading enough recommendations for it and having a personal friend who actually has experience with it. I'll review that after it arrives.
I would absolutely not recommend the Bissell flip it to anyone who wants a product that will make their life "easier". It was a pain to move, a pain to clean and I didn't think it left my floor any cleaner than a mop and bucket.

I just learned of this product recently but due to the economy it has not been in the budget. Then today I stopped by the thrift store looking for an egg incubator and I saw this FlipIt with a 15.00 price tag, but everything in the store was 20% off. So for 12.00 I got the machine, 5 pads (4 new in the package), 2 scrub brushes, and an unopened bottle of cleaning solution. Not too shabby considering a new mop costs that much. My friend did question why someone would have given it to the thrift store, but I decided it was worth the 12.00 risk.
I am SO glad I bought this machine. I have 3 young kids, 1 dog, and 2 cats as well as a husband who is a mechanic and can't seem to grasp the concept of removing his shoes before he comes in the house. Right away I set it up and got to work. Normally it takes me about an hour to do the kitchen and dining room, not including the time it takes to clean the stray legos and socks. I asked my little guys to get down there and pick up the large objects (a french fry, some dog food) because I could see that the machine was not designed to pick up what I would normally use a vacuum hose on. Normally I sweep daily and mop every 2-3 days because its such a pain. Honestly it should be mopped daily. Well start to finish I "swept" and mopped my kitchen and dining room in less than 20 minutes and it was DIRTY today! The vacuum cleaned up the spilled potting soil and crumbs no problem though I did notice it sent the lint flying. It cleaned the hair that the mop normally pushes up under the edge of the cabinets requiring me to go over the outside edge of the room with a wet rag, and it had no problem with MY hair which seems to get all over everything. Then i switched to the wet side and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. It cleaned up the applesauce and pomegranate as well as the mystery spot and the dirty little footprints caused by my son running into the garage barefoot and then running through the kitchen. It dried in a fraction of the time and best of all every area was cleaned using fresh water that was then removed from my floors.
I am really impressed. Tonight I plan to mop my laundry room floor and THEN use this machine to see just how much dirt my mop and broom are leaving behind.
Honestly I like this product. I am not sure how much I would have liked it in my old house that was 100% wood laminate, but for an average house with average size rooms it works great and saved me a ton of time and my floor is cleaner than it has been in ages.
My only complaint would be the filter which needs to dry before I can use it again. I wish it had come with 2 filters so I could use one while the other is drying...thats how often I have to clean my floors!

This is the biggest piece of crap I have ever had the misfortune of owning. The suction is terrible - it actually pushes a line of dirt out ahead of the machine that you can never fully clean. The dirt tank come apart easily so when you go to empty it - it often comes apart in your hands and all spills back all over the floor so you can have the pleasure of re-cleaning it all again!
This vacuum was so bad that, rather than take it back, I felt that it was more appropriate to smash it into the ground and then throw it in the trashcan outside so no one would ever have to deal with it again. I would actually be a worse person for taking it back on the off chance that someone else would end up with one it again. Amazing that it is still on the market.
Horrible, horrible, horrible vacuum. You would be better off with a squirt bottle and a dirty mop.
Do no buy this product. You will regret it.
