Bissell PowerSwift Compact Vacuum 18082 Filter Replacement

Introduction

This replacement guide details how to clean or replace a filter for a Bissell PowerSwift Lightweight Compact Vacuum model 18082.

Vacuum filters keep dust and dirt from entering back into the air while vacuuming. A dirty filter does not allow for maximum air flow and suction. When your vacuum has trouble suctioning dust and dirt, this can be a sign to replace the filter instead of the entire vacuum.
