Come into the line with a 12 AMP motor and a 13.5″ Cleaning Path.

Cord Length is 27 Feet and price is roughly $89.99.
Bissell CleanView Helix 22C1:
With a 12 AMP motor the 22c1 also has a 15″ Cleaning Path. The model also is set up to Carpet, Bare Floor, Stairs and Upholstery. The price is unknown but I can guess at near a $100.

Bissell CleanView Helix Review Summary:
Overall the consumers were very pleased with the Bissell CleanView Helix performance. Overall users were happy for the performance and our assessment is that for $80, even for the lower-end model, the Helix provides great value for many users.
Though some complain about the high-pitch noise that can result from using the machine. A user review says, “I love this vacuum! It has great suction power and the attachments are very useful. A great price since we were expecting to pay over $100 for a new vacuum, this is a deal! My husband doesn’t like having to clean the canister, so that is the only downside. He was not used to cleaning a bagless vacuum. I would recommend this product as a great buy.” Overall the expectation for a $80 vacuum isn’t high, but the Bissell Helix meets expectations users expectations and provides a lot of value.
