Really powerful vacuum
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: texascoug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this vacuum, and the thing at the top of my list of what I liked is the suction power. I’m not sure I’ve used a household vacuum that gets more dirt, dust, and lint out of the carpet. It got dirt out of brand new carpet that had just been laid (and already vacuumed twice), and got more out of carpet I had just vacuumed with my previous vacuum which I have loved. If you’re looking for power, this one has it!
Other things I liked: the suction power and carpet height control are located at the top of the vacuum and can easily be changed by sliding it with your finger. I like that it has a swivel head that can go around corners more easily, and the turbo brush attachment was really impressive; it also has the best suction I’ve ever seen in a brush attachment. The crevice tool attachment conveniently changes between the hard edge and brush edge as well. I appreciated how easy it was to unhook the hose to hook on attachments as well as to remove the brush roller component to use it on the stairs. It worked smoothly on carpet as well as hardwood.
The biggest con of this vacuum for me is the cord length. It’s significantly shorter than my previous vacuum so it required me to use different outlets and change it more frequently since I couldn’t reach areas I usually can. It’s also a little bit louder (or perhaps just a different kind of loud) than other vacuums I’ve used. And while I didn’t change the filter yet, the instructions say to let it dry for 24 hours before reinstalling, and that seems like a long time to wait and not use the vacuum.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is effective with great suction power
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: Alyguay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had many, many vacuums in my lifetime. So much so, that when I got this vacuum, my husband’s first comment was, “Another vacuum!?” Yes, another vacuum. What can I say? I love a tidy home. Overall, I like the Bissel Clean View Max vacuum. When I took the vacuum out of the box, my first thoughts were that it was very easy to assemble, the materials were sleek and lightweight and I liked the color scheme. I use the vacuum throughout my house on tile, carpets in bedrooms and throw rugs. I use it multiple times a day, after meals in my kitchen, since I have young kids that tend to make large messes during meals. It’s convenient and quick and I find that it’s way more effective and easier than using a broom.
The thing I appreciate most about this vacuum is the suction power. It’s strong and effective and the vacuum makes satisfying lines and markings in the carpet. I love that! Plus, there’s nothing better than seeing your progress in the collection chamber.
I also like that it has an option for suction strength based on your carpet pile and length. It has a button to turn the roller brush on and off depending on the surface you’re working on. This was especially helpful for my front door mat that is usually nearly impossible vacuum without the vacuum getting stuck. This was not the case with the Bissel Clean View Max Lift Off.
The roller brush is great! I can’t explain it, but things don’t tend to get caught up in it like other roller brushes. Even my hair wasn’t wrapped around and stuck to it like other vacuums.
It comes with 2 attachments that I haven’t tried yet, but plan on using when I vacuum out my car next. I do like that each attachment has a holder on either side of the vacuum.
The only thing I’ll mention that I didn’t love was that it felt heavy to push across my surfaces. On my tile, although it was smooth to navigate, it still felt a little heavy. On my carpeted areas, it was noticeably heavier and tougher to direct across tighter areas. I can only assume this is due to the stronger suction power which I am willing to tolerate because it seems to pick up more than my other vacuums did. There is one thing I missed on this vacuum that honestly I didn’t know I appreciated on my prior ones: a light on the front. I guess I never realized how much I relied on a light to make sure I didn’t miss a crumb, but I missed having one with this model.
Overall, I’d recommend this vacuum and model specifically for the suction power and effectiveness. If you want a lightweight vacuum, this isn’t the one for you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brought my 1 year old rug back to life
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: AmandaK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with the CleanView Max Lift-Off! The vacuum I’d been using before my CleanView is a canister that uses water to trap the vacuumed debris. I’d been really happy with it before, but after using the CleanView Max Lift-Off I quickly found out our old unit isn’t getting our floors as clean as I had thought.
We had a rug that I thought was simply worn down. I had tried everything to bring life back to my rug before this and had no luck. I vacuumed it with the CleanView Max and the fibers lifted back up and a ton of dirt came out! My rug looks a lot newer than it did before I cleaned it with this vacuum and I have the dirt I can see to know that it’s a lot cleaner, too.
I do have some pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Fabulous suction and dirt removal
2. Incredibly easy turning
3. Accessories stored directly on the vacuum without the need for additional closet space to store the vacuum pieces.
4. The pull-out wand is amazing for quick pick-up jobs like cobwebs, baseboard, corners and small areas the vacuum brush head can’t reach
5. Removable canister for uses without brush head
6. Easy emptying and replacement of dust bin
7. Press-of-a-switch for height of brush head and using the vacuum with or without the roller brush spinning. For someone with a fairly even balance of carpet and hardwood, it was so nice to not have to turn off the vacuum, swap the brush head for a hard floor attachment, and swap back when on the next rug or section of carpet.
Cons:
1. The vacuum is heavier than I’m used to. While it moves easily and responds well to wrist movement, it does tend to get heavy after using it for more than a room or two.
2. The vacuum cord is shorter than I like. I felt as though I was stopping often to move my plug to the next outlet in order to continue vacuuming.
3. The vacuum is too tall to fit under my cabinets. The wand is so easy to quickly pull out and use instead that it’s not a huge deal, but it is an extra step to get the floor clean.

Overall, despite the few cons I listed, I’m so happy with this vacuum. I was able to easily clean pet fur off of our furniture with the vacuum, also. With two cats and a dog, that’s a big job in this house. The CleanView Max removed all of the fur from our couch, from the fuzzy fur of one cat to the coarse hair of our dog.
I’d definitely recommend this vacuum to others!

Lift Off With a Strong Suction
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: Andreamorgan007
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Impressed! It is not everyday that a vacuum can look stylish and be as powerful as the CleanView® Max Lift-Off is! It comes with clear instructions on how to put it together and how to use it, along with each attachment, properly. It does have an on/off button, that is at the top of the vacuum, for easy access. My CleanView® Max Lift-Off has some powerful suction that helps clean my carpet and wood floors. The transition between the different levels and types of floors is flawless, with a strong suction at all times. This suction was able to pick up dirt, grass, gold fish and smooshed grapes just in my first vacuum! Then, when it comes time to clean out the dirt canister, just dump, clean and reattach to your CleanView® Max Lift-Off. Now, your ready for your next cleaning!

Great versatile vacuum
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: Sarager17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a mom of three young kids and two dogs. Having a vacuum that can take on all the messes of my household is a top priority. I've used this vacuum on four different surfaces and it's passed the test:
1) carpet - this is where I found it most effective, which is definitely a priority.
2) rug - I was very impressed in how much I found in the vacuum canister after vacuuming my medium pile rug
3) wood and floor - while it passed the test and did an effective job cleaning a mess of crumbs in my pantry, I did notice some larger chunks would get grabbed by the brush roller but then shot out the back of the vacuum, even on the hard floor setting. There could be some improvement in this area.
4) curtains/blinds - this was my favorite part! The handle of the vacuum disconnects to reveal the wand! I used the attachment to clean my Roman blinds and they look amazing! My one complaint in this area is the wand is a bit too long and can be unruly, whereas the hose is a little too short to reach the top without some effort

The vacuum "feel" is nice, not to heavy but feels rugged. The brush head could be a tad larger to cover more space, and the bin could also be larger for longer runs. I do really love that it has a very reasonable operating volume - it's far quieter than most vacuums I have used, even stick vacuums. Lastly, not a deal breaker, but I wish the power button and the carpet/wood floor button were swapped. It feels more intuitive to have the power on the handle, and I suspect my husband won't notice that he needs to switch the carpet/wood button as he moves between different surfaces because it's just not in a natural line of sight.
These are nuances but overall I am very glad to have this vacuum - it's very versatile, easy to use, and effective.

Powerful vacuum
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: Mamaoutside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to give this 4.5 stars, rather than four. This is a very powerful vacuum! I love how well it cleaned the thick carpet that is throughout most of my house. I could visibly see the difference and it felt like it was really working hard. I also found it effective on hardwood floors too, though it really shined on the carpet. We don’t have a dog right now, we used to, and I could tell this would also be a good vacuum to get up dog hair.
The vacuum also looks pretty sleek and when standing upright doesn’t take up too much space in my closet. The canister is easy to take off and empty after a cleaning session.
The one drawback for me is that it feels a bit heavy. I guess I could get a good workout vacuuming all the carpet in my house! It was more tiring to push it around than other vacuums I have used.
Overall very effective! I would recommend to others!

Excellent suction and easy to maneuver
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: HuettlHaus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting a new vacuum for a while now, but didn't feel like I could justify it when my old one worked "just fine." Man, was I ever wrong! I used this vacuum on our bedroom rug after recently vacuuming with my old one and was disgusted by the amount of dirt and hair that it sucked up that had been left behind previously. The suction was incredible and quickly self-adjusted between my hard floors and rugs. The lift-off detachable pod and extension wand make it easy to move around - I don't even mind it being corded. I don't usually love vacuuming, but it maneuvers so easily that I've been finding myself vacuuming baseboards, light fixtures, and all sorts of hard-to-reach places I would normally ignore. It's slim, easy to store, and you don't have to wait for a battery charge. Best of all, it's lightweight enough that my five year old son can use it too - a bonus for any mom!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like Driving A Luxury Car
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: MamaBear3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, let me say wow! In all my years of adulting, I see why the ultimate adults buy nice household appliances such as this vacuum. The modes low carpet, plush and bare floor are nice because we have all three in the house. You can choose to engage the roller ball and I feel this feature benefited carpets the most because it created more power to get dirt out. As my review title said, navigating this vacuum was so smooth, it was almost like being behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle. Nothing took two hands to do, not even disassembling it down to the hand vacuum feature. I would say one con about the hand held feature is that it isn’t cordless; however, the cord is long enough and it is lightweight enough where the pros outweigh not having a cordless feature. I used it on rug, tile, and would completely assembled. Disassembled to the hand-held, I was able to easily clean the stairs which are carpeted and hardwood and also get on the counter to clean faux plants on top of the cabinets and the vacuum was gentle enough not to destroy them. Because I feel like it would be the most asked for picture, I am attaching one assembled and one down to the hand-held configuration. I also am throwing in a picture of it leaning to show how it does have a good range of motion to navigate spaces.
I would recommend this to a friend!
