[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. Overall, I feel that this is an adequate, entry level cordless vacuum that is still lacking a bit. Pros: Strong, powerful suction Lightweight Easy to maneuver Easy to remove and replace battery, debris canister, and other components Multiple power levels Cons: Short battery life No backup battery No brushroll on/off option (always on) Doesn't stand on its own Annoying trigger button placement Nitty-Gritty: I have 4 young children, a dog, and a cat in a home with multiple surfaces including tile, wood, and carpet. The vacuum performed very well on carpet and rugs- I could watch the pet hair getting sucked into the canister, filling within minutes. Unfortunately, any smaller rug that wasn't well adhered to the floor got sucked into the brush roll every single time because there is no option to turn it off. I appreciated that there are multiple power levels if you need a stronger clean; however, I can't see myself ever using high power because even regular power drained the battery quickly. I averaged about 20 minutes per charge. This amounts to about half my house on a regular day (with no significant messes to clean up). I feel for the price point, there should really be a backup battery included. It's very frustrating to clean half the house and then stop in the middle for hours while waiting for a battery to recharge. I enjoyed how lightweight the vacuum is, making it very easy to whip it around under furniture and into corners. Maneuvering was a breeze, except for the trigger button Bissell added to replace a traditional power switch. While it does make it easy to turn the device on and off, it's placed right in the handle of the vacuum meaning I had nowhere to place my pointer finger while vacuuming. It got uncomfortable really quickly trying to keep it moved to the side while steering in order to prevent an accidental turning off of the vacuum.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me tell you how much I love the PowerLifter Turbo!! Between our 3 kids, their sandbox, and our cat, we have plenty of vacuuming going on. I wasn't sure what to expect from a cordless stick vacuum, and my first attempt was a full cleaning of the downstairs. This is not meant to replace your full size vacuum for a deep clean. That said, this PowerLifter beauty is amazing for spot cleaning, and "odd" cleaning. It's lightweight and easy enough to use that my 4 year old volunteers to clean up after meals or sandbox time. It's not a silent whisper (it's a vacuum!), but it's definitely not loud - it doesn't scare my kids. It has enough suction power to handle picking up anything I threw at it. Plus it is incredibly maneuverable - I was able to get into corners of the kitchen I normally skip. With a removeable center tube, you can make the vacuum compact, which was awesome for the carpeted stairs. Way easier than lugging the big beast up and down. Additionally the compact size and multiple attachments enabled me to clean the entire minivan, including the carseat and cupholders. Now, for unexpected uses, we absolutely used this bad boy to clean off the trampoline, get sand out of a toddlers hair (yup, totally works), and I love it for around the litterbox. It keeps things just clean enough throughout the day that I don't feel like the house is a wreck if someone walks in. I would absolutely recommend the PowerLifter Turbo to my friends and family, and already have. Many thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to puth this stick vacuum through its paces.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this vacuum through the Stellar Review Panel and as a mom with three kids three and under AND a cat in the house I was very excited to try a new vacuum cleaner. I love my PowerLifter Turbo and use it almost every day, but it does have some design flaws. On the plus side I loved how lightweight and maneuverable it is, how easy it is to empty and clean the canister, and the bright LED lights on the front are super helpful with spotting anywhere I missed. It also does a great job with the pet hair and dust. On the negative side the battery doesn't last long enough to do the whole house (and I don't have a big house) and then takes hours to recharge, there is no way to hang up the vacuum and it doesn't stand up on its own so storage is an issue, and the vacuum head doesn't sit high enough up off the floor to effectively pick up Cheerios or fish crackers. If you have a small apartment and no kids this could be an amazing, lightweight, compact, vacuum cleaner with a beautifully sleek design. If you have a normal sized house and kids this vacuum might not be as helpful for you as another, more Cheerio-gobbling, model might be.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience, Rooby! We're always happy to help at support.bissell.com.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the Stellar Panel for sending me this vacuum to trial and review! I've never owned, but have wanted to try a cordless stick vacuum. The suction power and volume are pretty standard for vacuum cleaners. I had a harder time using it to suction dust and cobwebs off hard surfaces like walls, ceilings, and ceiling fans, even while using the various attachments. The weight was very manageable while cleaning the floor, but a little more unwieldy while holding it at or above shoulder level for harder to reach areas. Manageable, but not super lightweight. Overall, at this price point, it's a decent stick vacuum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't be happier with the PowerLifter Turbo vacuum. First and foremost, the lightweight design of the PowerLifter Turbo is a real game-changer. It's incredibly easy to maneuver around my home, and I don't have to worry about lugging a heavy vacuum up and down the stairs anymore. This has made my cleaning routine so much more efficient and less tiring. It also makes cleaning out my car super easy since it comes with a handy set of attachments perfect for reaching tight areas. One thing I do wish it had was a charging mount so that I don't have to remove the battery just to charge it. One of the standout features of the PowerLifter Turbo is its low noise level. Unlike traditional vacuums that can be loud and disruptive, this vacuum operates quietly, allowing me to clean without disturbing anyone in the house or even my sleeping baby. It's a welcome change from the usual vacuum noise! I also love how this vacuum can effortlessly turn sharp corners. It's incredibly agile and maneuverable, making it a breeze to clean tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. Whether it's under furniture or along the edges of walls, the PowerLifter Turbo gets the job done without any hassle. When it comes to performance, the PowerLifter Turbo shines on both hard floors and carpets. It effortlessly transitions between surfaces, leaving my floors spotless. Whether it's picking up kitty litter on the bathroom tiles or tackling pet hair on the living room carpet, this vacuum delivers consistent and impressive results. I would highly recommend the PowerLifter Turbo to anyone in search of a reliable and efficient vacuum cleaner. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PowerLifter Turbo was easy to assemble out of the box. Although it came with an instructions manual, it was not needed for the assembly or use. The PowerLifter Turbo was lightweight and easy to maneuver, especially for those hard to reach areas. I love using it to vacuum the mess that my self-feeding 1.5 year old daughter creates at every meal. I use to sweep the crumbs with a broom, but hated sweeping and now I use this vacuum instead. It's been such a lifesaver, especially for my back. It is cordless so it is easy to use without worrying about finding a nearby outlet or tripping over cords. My husband has been using it daily and making excuses to use it. My 5 year old daughter even asked me if she can try it out! As wonderful as it is, there are two minor complaints. The first is that this vacuum does not come with a wall mount for the charger so you will have to remove the battery from the vacuum to charge. The instructions manual showed a wall mount so maybe it is something that doesn't come with the contents, but may be purchased separately. It would be more convenient to be able to charge the battery already attached to the vacuum so it's ready to be used when needed. Without the battery, the top front part of the vacuum is too heavy and will pull it forward and down so it won't stand on its own. The second is that there is two attachment pieces (dusting brush and crevice tool), but there is not a way to store them with the vacuum. I understand that adding these attachments would make it heavier and bulky. However, these attachments can be easily misplaced. I have them sprawled on my dining room table for now since I don't have a good place to store them. If they are placed out of sight, I'll forget where I put them. Overall, the cordless vacuum has made cleaning my house easier and that is a definite plus for someone who likes a clean house, but doesn't have a lot of time to spend cleaning with two toddlers who make a mess as soon as it's been cleaned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this vacuum through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have three kids that are constantly making messes, especially at the dinner table and with snacks. This vacuum does great to pickup small crumbs, dust, and debris. It feels like it grips the hard floor when I turn it on, which is impressive for a cordless vacuum. It also does really well on carpet. The trigger to turn it on/off is really easy and convenient. I love that it has three speeds. The highest speed definitely feels the most satisfying in terms of cleaning power. The battery does a fairly good job. It can clean about 1500 square feet on the highest setting before needing to be charged again. The vacuum is pretty lightweight and maneuvers really well. Glides nicely, can turn easily, and the slim profile of the brushes makes it easy to fit under things. It does not handle rugs well or larger items like cereal. It can stand up on its own when it's resting the battery side against the wall, but can get knocked over fairly easily so you'll need to store it someplace away from curious children. The waste bin is easy to remove and clean, no complaints there. Overall it's a great vacuum for quick cleanups as long as you don't have big debris around.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stick vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I've never tried a stick vacuum before, so I wasn't sure what to expect exactly, though I thought the suction might not be as great as a traditional corded vacuum. However, this vacuum surprised me as it has excellent suction! I've tried it on hardwood and carpet, baseboards, carpeted stairs and it's done a wonderful job with every task I've used it for. It has 3 suction settings, which is nice as I don't need as high of a setting for hardwood as I do for carpet, which conserves battery power. It's also fairly quiet, which means I can get some cleaning done even after the kids have gone to bed. I immediately recommended this vacuum to my mom because of it's lightweight design and maneuverability. It is able to get into smaller spaces, like under the table, behind furniture etc and with all the additional tools, I get the job done with one vacuum instead of needing a bunch of items. I was able to do a quick cleaning of my entire downstairs or upstairs level with one charge (about 40 minutes). The different tools make any clean up job a breeze, from the small tip, to the upholstery/large opening piece, they all swap out easily and mean I get any necessary cleaning done while using the vacuum instead of needing to grab a different piece of equipment. I love the ability to use it as a handheld vacuum or as a typical handheld vacuum with the stick attachment. It means I can do the same work with a lot less bending over! The traditional vacuum head has an easy to remove roller, which is great for long hairs that would normally get trapped and keep the roller from running smoothly. While we're on the subject of cleaning the vacuum itself, it's easier than any vacuum I've ever owned. The canister has a release button and the metal filter wipes clean of dust and dirt with very little effort. The dirt canister also opens at either end for easy disposal to be on your way cleaning again!
