Is it a vac? Is it a mop? It's both! Bissell's double-duty dynamo is on sale: 'Cuts cleaning time in half'

The vacuum cleaner has been a staple of the American household for over a century, and Bissell has been there every step of the way. In 1876, in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Melville Bissell patented a one-of-a-kind carpet sweeper to help suck up sawdust. Nearly a century and a half and countless innovations later, the company is still producing some of the most popular floor cleaning machines in the country.

Of course, we’ve come a long way from that original carpet sweeper, and Bissell has continued to adapt to the times and innovate, with products intended for sweeping, steaming, mopping, and even ones specially designed for pet-related messes.

Bissell has taken all of these top-of-the-line cleaning elements and combined them into one sleek, simple appliance: the Bissell Symphony Plus All-In-One Vac and Steam Mop. And right now, QVC is offering it for $170 — down from $250.

Plus, if you’re new to QVC, you get a bonus: $10 off your first order with code OFFER.

Just like the orchestral works it’s named for, the Bissell Symphony Plus brings multiple machines together into one harmonious clean. Whether you’re in a city apartment or a sprawling suburban home, from hardwood floors to wall-to-wall carpeting, and from simple spills to the messiest pets, there’s no cleaning task too great for the Bissell Symphony to handle.

It can vacuum and steam away potential stains (and save time by doing both at once!). By using only water to clean, it kills 99.9 percent of germs while keeping your home safe for both pets and little kids, with no hazardous chemicals. This deal also comes with White, Scrubby, and Bissell’s trademark Steamboost mop pads, offering a variety of cleaning options no matter the mess, so you can sweep, steam, and clean your home your way.

Best of all, the Bissell Symphony Plus helps prevent after-cleaning messes. We all remember the dusty aftermath of emptying those old vacuum bags of yore, and even our modern-day dust bins can become a mucky hassle if moisture gets in. But with the Bissell Symphony Plus, its unique dry tank technology keeps moisture out to ensure your tank stays dry, and its easy hands-free Drop-It dirt bin makes emptying out debris a breeze! See the powerhouse in action here.

QVC shoppers consistently love the Bissell Symphony Plus, with one five-star reviewer declaring: “My favorite purchase ever!”

“Love this vac. It is by far the easiest to use. Cuts cleaning time in half,” the shopper adds.

Another reviewer singled out how easy it is to tote from room to room: “My Bissell steam vac is wonderful!” said the fan, adding: “Lightweight and easy for a 70-year-old to use.”

Pet owners rejoice! Another five-star reviewer said: “This was exactly what I needed. I have two big dogs who love to play outside, and the amount of dirt they track in is insane. This is so easy and quick to whip out, steam the floors, and put away. I think I only spend 10 minutes from start to finish. I love it! I’m so happy I bought it!”

There’s a reason Bissell has been a must in homes for years, and with all-in-one cleaners like the Bissell Symphony Plus, it’s easy to see why. At just $170 (with a FlexPay option of five $34 interest-free payments available), this deal is simply too good to pass up.
