A:AnswerYou will need a small philips screwdriver and lots of paitence. Turn upside down and remove all screws then gently pry it apart. Unplug old battery and install new one. Its really a pain to do as Bissell just wants you to buy another one. I replaced mine with some from ebay (i got 2000mah ones but you can get a 3000mah also. The original is only 1500mah). pay attention to how everything comes apart and reinstall accordingly. Good luck.
A:AnswerThere are 2 settings, one with just suction for the hardwood floors, and another one with the roller running for the area rugs you may have, convenient.
A:AnswerNot as good as using a real vacuum cleaner with strong suction. Sand is hard on those, as well...quickly clogging filters. This Bissell Sweeper is best with larger items...spilled cereal, food crumbs, dirt clumps, hay or grass clippings, cat litter, sawdust. Sand might be too fine for the bristles to sweep into the bin. A shopvac is a better choice if you routinely need to vacuum sand off tile floors.
A:AnswerSorry to say it does not come with a lithium battery. Check out the BISSELL Bolt which does! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/bissell-bolt-bagless-cordless-2-in-1-handheld-stick-vacuum-samba-orange-sparkle-silver/7968129.p
A:AnswerDoes not have a bag, but has a contain that lifts out. Super easy to clean under the faucet or with a Lysol wipes.
For hair in the roller, I just use a pair of scissors and start a snip and use the wipe to pull the hair out.
All a super easy process.
A:AnswerIt has a brush...a cylinder brush that is moderately stiff and effectively sweeps up debris (including stuck on dirt or litter) dropping it into its bin. The brush is like a whisk or hair brush with long bristles. Highly effective.
A:AnswerIf you hold your hand straight with fingers together and just touch the floor with the tallest finger then the sweeper part will just about touch the bottom of the thumb - is about as high as the part that touches the thumb (adult woman).
A:AnswerCompany recommends that you do a total 14 hour charge-up before first use and then simply use product until the red light goes on. It gives great service for the about one hour of the charge-up time. It says to wait until red light comes on not to charge up in spurts.
A:AnswerMy answer is YES. I use it on carpet all the time. Sweeps up 2 dogs hair like the little champ it is.
It's about $40 + 8 for warranty. $50 out the door and no more raking.
