[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased it to clean around my parakeet cage. I have big Bissel vacuum with great power but this Lightweight stick vaccum is so handy and convenient for spot cleaning. It's also work well and catch tiny particles.#sweepstakes
Great for the elderly, disabled, injured, arthritic, etc. No more dust flying around and body aches while sweeping and scooping into dust pans. This vacuum truly is Featherweight and powerful. I whip this thing around the house seamlessly from floors to ceilings and everything in between. I love it so much, I already gifted some to family and friends who absolutely love them as well. Thank you Bissell! #sweepstakes
I love this vacuum. It's lightweight, powerful, easy to empty, and all the parts work as they should. I have two long haired cats so I use it often on my hardwood floors and it works beautifully. I love this vacuum so much that I bought one for each of my adult children and three of my siblings.
I needed a vacuum to pick up cat litter from the litter mat as well as the hardwood floor of the room where the litter boxes are located. A regular vacuum was too heavy for me to use comfortably. We have a very good Dyson portable stick vacuum but the litter granules don't stay in the canister and fall out when I am finished. I purchased this Bissell due to the reviews. This is fantastic! As others have said, it almost looks like a child's toy. It is all plastic and extremely light weight. However, it picks up litter like a champ and holds it in the canister until it is emptied. I do have to change or clean the filter about once a week due to the build up of cat hair. This is quite easy to do. I would advise getting only Bissell filters as I have found that generic ones are not a perfect fit and Bissell filters are no more expensive than generic ones. I also advise having extra filters on hand. I ordered 4 from Bissell many, many months ago and they have all held up well. To clean them, I vacuum out the cat hair with another vacuum and then squirt a little Dawn dish detergent on the filter, hold it under running water while I gently rub all sides of the outside of the filter with my fingers. Rinse well and then let air dry. To me, the cleaned ones are just as good as a new filter. They are very durable. There is also a sponge filter at the end of the vacuum part that I did not notice for a while. I would recommend getting one or two for spares. I just gently shake it out when dirty. It is pretty small. I have given up taking off the main attachment and using the nozzle because I can't get the main attachment off. I don't care. I really do not need the nozzle. I cannot say enough about how great this is for my needs. It works great for hard floors. It will do a fine job of picking up litter that rests on or near the top surface of a carpet. It would not be great for deeper cleaning of a carpet.
Very easy to assemble and use. Definitely collects my 2 dogs hair shedding0 which is light colored and seen everywhere! Also like the hand held piece as I use it in my car.
