[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this stick vacuum to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Honestly it works well for small messes, and is perfect for my kids to clean up crumbs from cookies or popcorn on the furniture with the attachments. The battery lasts as long as a typical battery vacuum, and with a smaller head I wouldn't say it replaces my regular vacuum for whole house cleaning. But the smaller head does come in handy for hard to get into places, and combined with the long handle it is perfect for getting under the bed. I wish it came with the docking station so it could be stored on the wall instead of leaning in a corner. Other than that it's been good so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed when I opened the vacuum right out of the box. It has a great design and it was super easy to figure out and put together. When I first turned it on, I was impressed with how quiet it is. That's not something I would have thought I wanted in a vacuum, but it's a huge plus for me. The suction is great and I didn't have any problems. I own two dogs and one cat so I have a lot of hair. Unfortunately, I need to empty the canister often but I didn't find that to be a problem. It's incredibly fast and easy to empty. The roller on the bottom, that always gets tangled with hair, is able to be pulled out to clean. I tend to always have problems with tangled hair ruining the roller, so now I no longer need to worry about that! It's a quick fix. I also like the light. It made it so much easier to spot hair and dirt in dimmer areas, like under the table. The only thing that disappointed me was the battery. I love that I'm able to remove the battery and charge it, however, the battery does not last long. I tried the vacuum at full power and it only lasted 15 minutes. At medium power, it lasted 23 minutes. The low power is closer to lasting the 40 minutes as advertised but won't pick up as well. I'd highly suggest getting an extra battery. Another downfall was when I was vacuuming the rug. I needed to keep it at the lowest power so it wouldn't create too much suction. If it did, the vacuum would automatically shut off. Even at the lowest power it still did but not as often. I didn't have any problems with regular carpet. In all, I really like this vacuum. It was a great design and works really well for being cordless. It exceeded my expectations, even compared to a more well known, high-priced, vacuum brand. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stick vacuum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a mom of 2 young children who is constantly cleaning up a little messes. Think crumbs, cat hair, girl hair, glitter, magic sand - you name it, we can spill it. So I'm very thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stick vacuum. So far, I'm pretty impressed with the suction and cleaning performance of this vacuum. It's not quite as strong as our heavy duty vacuum, but it's good enough that we grab it first for most things in the house now. The lightweight body and ease of use of just grabbing it, putting the battery on if needed, and getting it done, can't be beat. We've never had a stick vacuum, so I didn't really know what to expect. I'd say this met my expectations overall. My only complaint was at the light weight body made it feel a little bit cheap. However, the noise level was actually much quieter than I expected, so that's a big win. The lightweight design and maneuverability are the reasons I grab this first. It's just so much easier. I also like the idea of the three power modes - we tend to just stick to the middle mode most of the time, and haven't really even need to bump it up. Overall, I'm not excited enough to shout it from the rooftops, but if your friend asked me about this vacuum, I'd recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stick vacuum. My family has been using this every single day since it's arrived. We absolutely love how lightweight and so easy to maneuver around. The brush roll at the bottom of the vacuum is short enough to fit under our tv entertainment center and other furniture items so easily compared to other bulky ends. I especially love the light feature as we have 2 young children under 5 and 3 full size dogs so it's easy to see the crumbs or fur anywhere! I'm almost vacuuming in the dark just to find every little speck! LOL I do love the versatility of a hand vacuum and stick in hard to reach areas. Cordless is a GAMECHANGER. We've only ever had corded and we're positive we won't go back. The dealbreaker before was always price point. This vacuum is so easy to take apart and keep track of the extra pieces they gave us, the angled suction and scrub brush. The suctioning is so much better compared to a normal hand vacuum. We don't mind that the battery run time is about 40 minutes or so and we always have the suction level on 2 since we think that's the most efficient. If you use level 3 the battery life is significantly shorter. My only hiccup with this whole vacuum is about a week in I myself broke a glass bottle and needed to clean up the remaining small pieces and decided to try out this vacuum to see if it would do the job. Unfortunately after doing so my vacuum now makes a high pitched screeching when using it now. So it does not have a low noise that it claimed in the beginning. I honestly can't remember what it used to sound like before this screeching. I contacted customer service and they said to try to clean out all the specific parts after taking it apart but it didn't seem to work. I have yet to hear back about a replacement or on what to do next. That's a bit of a bummer because even my husband loves this vacuum just the high pitch screech is a bit much. I still continue to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What did you think of the vac's suction and cleaning performance? How did it compare to your initial expectations when using a cordless vacuum? What did you think of the lightweight design and maneuverability? What did you think of the vac's 3 power modes & noise level? What was your overall impression of this vacuum? Would you recommend it to a friend?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little vacuum packs quite the punch! The suction on this thing exceeds that of other, full sized vacuums I have used. After vacuuming with my regular vacuum, I vacuumed again with this one and was embarrassed by how much dirt and pet hair it was able to remove. It works on both my carpets/rugs as well as my tile floor, which is a huge time saver! The battery lasts long enough to clean my entire 3 bedroom house. The only thing I would change would be to add some kind of base to store the vacuum on. As it is, it's a bit top heavy and doesn't stay in place for storage., it tends to fall over. Other than that, you NEED this vacuum! Yes, I did receive this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel for free in exchange for my review, but this is my real opinion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PowerLifter Turbo stick vacuum by Bissell is absolutely perfect for maintenance cleaning in every room of the house. Generously provided by the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to put this piece of cleaning equipment through its paces. With four children ages 10-3 our flooring surfaces are constantly covered in all manner of crumbs and random debris and the PowerLifter Turbo made cleaning up after them a lot easier. The suction power of this vac is very impressive for such a small design. Even when the canister was blocked with the accidental pickup of a candy wrapper there was enough suction to pick up small accessory toys. I did have some trouble with vacuuming up egg shells, but only the large pieces getting caught in the canister opening. And that is to be expected! Any vacuum will clog if debris is too big but most vacuums are a pain to clear with all the rubber tubes. Not the PowerLifter Turbo! It came apart so easily and into small enough pieces that clearing a clog was super easy. The design is so lightweight that my 8 year old was able to easily help spot vacuum the kids area of our house. The attachments that came with this vacuum were very helpful with cleaning the couch, the stairs, the corner cob webs, and the random hard to reach spaces. I honestly didn't expect much for a battery operated vacuum but I feel that the battery life was sufficient enough to get the job done and charging the battery was a snap. I never noticed the battery or the charger becoming excessively warm while charging which is very reassuring. While I didn't mount the charger to the wall due to space constraints, I love the idea of hanging the unit up to charge out of the way. As a guy a really liked being able to adjust the power settings to suit the job at hand. And all three power settings were useful. The highest setting was my favorite for getting cat hair off the couch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three stick vacuums now. They're essential in my household of 2 kids and 3 dogs. Compared to my other 2 stick vacuums, this Bissell PowerLifter Turbo is decent. The suction was fairly strong, definitely strong enough for hard floors, but had trouble on my rugs. The two included tools were very easy to switch out and were very helpful when cleaning my wood stairs and car seats. The best part of the PowerLifter is that it's cordless, making it easy and convenient to use in both those areas. As for the noise level, I found that it was about the same as the other cordless stick vacuums I've used. Now for the cons: This particular model does not come with a wall mount/docking station. Stick vacuums don't stand on their own as they're top heavy, so I tried to leave it leaning in the corner, but it would always slip down, so in the end, I had to leave it on the floor, which takes up so much room. Also, without a docking station, the charging cord just hangs there, or would need to be pulled out each time (and every time I store it is a chance for me to lose it). I understand that this is one of the lower tier bundles, but I really think the mount/docking station should be standard. Next, the floor attachment. While the suction was pretty good, the height was not. I'm only 5'3", but even I found myself having to bend over more than I wanted to, and therefore, my husband never wanted to use this because he would be really hunched over. Yet, at the same time, the length was annoying because I took up most of my storage closet on the ground. If only it was able to expand and collapse, I think that would have made this more enjoyable to use. Overall, I did like this vacuum. It being cordless was very convenient and the suction power was adequate for most of our usage. However, there is definitely much room for improvement before it becomes one of our favored stick vacuums. I received this stick vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
