Upright Vacuum.
We’re glad you purchased a BISSELL Lift-Off Upright
Vacuum & Detachable Canister. Everything we know about floor
care went into the design and construction of this powerful,
innovative home vacuuming system.

comprehensive one-year warranty. We also stand behind

homecare products like your BISSELL Lift-Off.
Thanks again, from all of
us at BISSELL.
