Hi Scott, I got this vacuum in early 2017. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/bissell-lift-off-2-in-1-cordless-stick-vacuum/8 70596 I feel very sure that link no longer works, but the number referenced is a Walmart item number. In any case, indeed it uses a barrel connector, in fact that is one reason why I kept it in the box with the vacuum itself. I have a number of adapters that fit. My hope is that the standard size, along with the model number actually being on the unit will help techsource match it correctly. When I phoned, I told the person who answered that I needed to match an adapter for a Bissell unit, and they seemed to feel that it would not be hard. Thanks for providing so much wisdom here.

I still can't find anything saying that 870596 has anything to do with Bissell. However, even though they don't contain that number, some of the hits I get using it seem to suggest that the vacuum is one of the Lift-off 2-in-1 models, which are a combination stick style and removable hand vacuum.
If this is the case, at least some of them use adapter number 1600689, which looks like it has a barrel connector, though I don't know if it's a standard size. Most sites selling replacements don't give the output specifications. One seller on Amazon said it's 16 volts, 130mA but I wouldn't trust just this one source, especially since that same site says it's 12 volts in another place and says the power output is 65 watts, which doesn't add up.
