[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to try the Bissell Powerlifter Turbo vacuum. As someone who values convenience and efficiency in products, this vacuum has certainly impressed me in several aspects. First and foremost, one of its standout features is a lightweight design. Maneuvering around the house, the many obstacles and even the stairs were quite easy. Unlike bulky vacuums that feel like a workout to operate, this one glides effortlessly, making cleaning much more efficient. Another major plus is its cordless functionality; no more fighting to keep the cord out of your way or pulling it out of the wall while switching rooms. With a fully charged battery, I could clean my entire house without any interruptions. I mainly used the standard mode, but there are two other more powerful modes for different needs. It also comes with three helpful cleaning heads/tools. These can be used as a handheld or on the longer stick and are also very easy to connect and disconnect! I was pleasantly surprised by its performance on both solid and carpeted surfaces. Whether it was LVP floors, rugs, or carpets, this vacuum handled them equally well. It efficiently sucked up dust, dirt, and pet hair without tangling on the roller. I especially appreciate this brand for giving back to rescue animals with every purchase! Of course, no product is perfect. The storage capacity is decent, but it's slightly smaller compared to my other vacuum. It's not a deal-breaker; it just might require more frequent emptying, especially for larger homes. Additionally, the battery must be removed from the vacuum for changing, similar to power or yard tools. Again, this is not a deal-breaker but another mentionable difference from other cordless vacuums. Another minor inconvenience is the locking mechanism for the dust compartment. It requires a bit of force to securely lock it in place. Overall, this vacuum is an excellent choice with great performance; I highly recommend it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the worst vacuum I've ever used in my life and I've used quite a few. If I could give it zero stars I would. In the highest setting it did not even pick up visble crumbs. I've tried it on hardwood and carpet and wow, this is bad. I'm so disappointed I was looking forward to this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissel vacuum has been a game-changer when cleaning my home! I have hardwood floor in my home, and the suction of this vacuum exceeded my expectations, given its cordless! It's very quiet and easy to maneuver, I'm able to clean all surfaces, incl under furniture with ease.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bissell sent me this free vacuum to sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. I was actually in the market for a new stick vacuum when I received the Bissell Powerlift to try out, as my previous stick vacuum had recently stopped working. It was very easy to put together and the instructions were easy to follow. I let it charge fully before I started using it (took about 3 hours to charge). My whole house needed a good vacuum and it's about 2,000 SQ feet so I wanted to see how far I could go before it needed a new charge. I got a good 30 minutes of vacuuming done before it needed a charge and I was able to do about 2/3 of my house with it, which I thought was great, considering it really needed a good vacuum and was fairly dirty. I have pets (cats and a dog) and I have very long thick hair, so I had to empty the canister about 5 times diluting that 30 minutes. The suction was very powerful, I was pleasantly surprised! I also really loved the light at the front. Once I had my whole house vacuumed I wanted to try it out as a handheld, and that was also very easy to use with a lot of good suction. I have a couple of slight cons, just for me. The vacuum when completely put together it's very top heavy and will not stand up on its own. Also, I have arthritis and just a few minutes of vacuuming had my hand very achy and tired. I definitely recommend this product! Thank you Bissell for the free product to test!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great design, lightweight, maintains suction, works better than my old Dyson! disclosure: I got this product sent to me in exchange for a review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this vacuum is very lightweight, so I won't hesitate to pull it out as needed. It's easy to maneuver around and has a light so you can see the dust. It's also cordless, adding to its ease of use. One con is the suction isn't that great, so I wouldn't use it as my workhorse vacuum. I would use it for smaller messes around the house, particularly not on rugs or carpets, or use the hand attachments to vacuum my car. I received this vacuum for free from BISSELL so I could review it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vacuum power is great out of the box. We'll see how well the battery holds up over time. We have found the handling/maneuvering to be a bit stiff compares to our previous vacuum
