My Bissell Powerforce bagless upright also makes a very loud noise. I thought something was stuck, but I have checked every tube and filter and still can't get it to stop. After only having the thing for six months, the suction is pitiful and dirt and debris collect under the beater bar instead of getting sucked into the tube to be deposited into the canister. The only thing I haven't tried is hitting it with a hammer.
my vacumn makes this loud noise that sounds terrible and like it is going to blow up whenever we vacumn rugs.
