BISSELL(R) PROlite(R) Vacuum Packs A Sleek, Powerful Punch

Designed to be Fully Powered and Lighter in Weight Than Typical Bagless
Vacuums

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers can look forward to a
new level of everyday cleaning as BISSELL Homecare, Inc., the floor-care
innovator and international manufacturer of home-cleaning products, introduces
its new PROlite Multi Cyclonic Vacuum. The unit boasts all the power of a full
sized upright vacuum, but in a sleek, lightweight design that makes it easier
to use, lift and move from room to room.

"We see the PROlite as an ideal choice for the savvy consumer," says Jim
Krzeminski, BISSELL's executive vice president and chief customer officer.
"Whether you are a young professional or an empty nester, whether you live in
a multi-level home with wall to wall carpeting or a loft with hardwood floors,
the PROlite makes vacuuming easier."

PROlite's multi cyclonic action and 12 amps of power provide a thoroughly
clean home consumers can be proud of, while dual motors -- one for the vacuum
and one for the brush -- provide flexibility in cleaning different floor
surfaces. With just one flick of the brush switch, the PROlite can easily
transition from carpeted to hard floors. The unit's Furniture Friendly(TM)
foot makes it easy to maneuver in and around living areas. These and other
ergonomically-designed features -- such as its comfortable handle and higher
placement of on/off buttons -- on this lightweight vacuum make vacuuming less
of a workout for the user.

The PROlite also comes with unique onboard attachments such as a bendable wand
attachment and an expandable hose, both of which simplify the process of
cleaning entire rooms. Moreover, the vacuum's HEPA media filter captures over
99.9 percent of dust mites, ragweed and pollen, leaving homes cleaner.

The PROlite vacuum is available for $199.99 at many major retailers.
