I am looking for a vacuum cleaner that I saw several months ago and can't remember the brand.  It was an upright vacuum cleaner that converted to a cannister vac.  The mid-section that houses the bag lifts off and becomes the cannister.  This makes it easy to vacuum stairs, upholstery, etc.  If anyone has seen or knows of this vac, please let me know!  Thank you very much!

What you are talking about is the "Bissell Lift-Off" upright vacuum
you can get it from this web site he is an autherized dealer, so he can give you the full warrenty
