The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual Motor Vacuum (Model BG1000) is a high-tech commercial cleaning system designed for efficient floor care. This upright vacuum cleaner features a dual-motor system, providing powerful suction and effective brush roll action for thorough cleaning. Its robust construction and thoughtful design make it suitable for demanding commercial environments.

Function Description:

The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual Motor Vacuum is engineered to provide comprehensive cleaning for various floor types. It utilizes a dual-motor system: one motor dedicated to suction and another for the brush roll. This configuration ensures optimal performance, allowing the brush roll to agitate dirt and debris from carpets while the powerful suction motor collects it efficiently. The vacuum is designed for dry, indoor surfaces and is equipped with a filtration system to capture dust and allergens. Its accessories, including a hose assembly with a wand, dust/upholstery tool, and crevice tool, extend its cleaning capabilities to hard-to-reach areas, furniture, shelves, and other surfaces beyond just floors. The vacuum also incorporates a safety feature that prevents operation if the filter bag is not properly installed, safeguarding the motor from damage.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific power ratings (e.g., wattage, amperage) are not detailed in the provided pages, the mention of a "Dual Motor Vacuum" implies two distinct motors for enhanced performance. The vacuum operates on a nominal 120-volt circuit and features a grounding attachment plug for electrical safety. It comes with a yellow 50-foot cord (Part No. 2030062) for extended reach, reducing the need for frequent outlet changes. The filtration system relies on disposable bags (Dual Motor Disposable Bag, 12-pack, Part No. 7644), a post-motor filter (Part No. 1600581), and a pre-motor filter (Part No. 2031977). The hose assembly (Part No. 2031970) includes a stretchable hose that extends from 3ft to 6ft, and a plastic wand (Part No. 2030061). The unit is equipped with a belt (Part No. 1600559) for the brush roll. An automatic thermal protection device is integrated to prevent motor overheating, automatically shutting off the motor if it gets too hot and restarting after it cools down.

Usage Features:

The vacuum offers user-friendly operation with several convenient features:

3-Way Power Switch: Located on the back of the unit, this switch provides three power options: Off position, Suction motor only (for attachments), and Suction motor and brush roll motor (for floor cleaning).
Reset Switch: A reset button on top of the vacuum hood allows users to restart the brush roll motor if it shuts off due to obstructions.
Automatic Height Adjustment: The vacuum's base automatically adjusts to different floor and carpet heights, ensuring optimal cleaning performance without manual intervention.
Accessory Tools: The included hose assembly with wand, dust/upholstery tool, and crevice tool enable versatile cleaning. The wand can be pulled up from the bag housing, and tools can be attached to its end for cleaning above-floor surfaces, tight spaces, and furniture.
Safety Interlock: A safety feature prevents the vacuum from turning on if the filter bag is not properly installed, protecting the motor from damage.
Polarized Plug: The appliance is equipped with a polarized plug for safe electrical connection, and users are advised not to modify it.
Ergonomic Design: The vacuum features a carry handle for easy transport.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual Motor Vacuum.

Filter Bag Replacement: The vacuum uses disposable filter bags. Users are instructed to remove the used bag and insert a new one when full. Frequent bag changes are recommended, especially when picking up fine powders, to maintain optimal efficiency.
Motor Intake Filter Maintenance: The motor intake filter, located within the bag housing, should be regularly checked and replaced.
Brush Roll Cleaning: Obstructions like carpet fibers, strings, and hair can impede the brush roll. Users can turn the vacuum over, unplug it, and remove or cut away debris from the brush roll area. A reset button on the vacuum hood helps restart the brush roll motor after clearing obstructions.
Hose and Wand Clearing: If suction is reduced, users should check the hose and wand for obstructions. The hose can be unscrewed from the bag housing, and debris can be cleared using a broom handle or by shaking.
Filter Replacement: Both pre-motor and post-motor filters should be changed frequently to keep the vacuum running at optimal efficiency. Instructions are provided for removing and inserting new filters.
Professional Service: For any maintenance issues not covered in the manual or for more complex repairs, users are advised to contact a qualified vacuum repair specialist or BISSELL Consumer Care.
Regular Checks: It is recommended to regularly check the bag, filters, and brush roll to avoid unnecessary maintenance and ensure consistent performance.

The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual Motor Vacuum is designed for durability and ease of use in commercial settings, backed by a limited two-year commercial warranty and dedicated consumer care support.
