Powerful and Lightweight
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Melly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It delivers powerful suction on both carpet and hardwood floors, and the easy handle toggle makes transitioning between surfaces effortless—which is a must in my busy, split-level home.
Between a shedding dog, two energetic kids, and—let’s just say—some extra hair around the house lately, this vacuum has had its work cut out for it. And it’s risen to the challenge beautifully. In fact, it outperformed my other vacuum (a well-known brand specifically made for pet hair), which really surprised me.
Even though the materials feel a bit cheap, the lightweight design is actually a huge advantage. It’s easy to carry up and down stairs, and it doesn't feel like a workout just to clean a few rooms.
My favorite feature is its versatility. It handles different carpet heights and flooring types without missing a beat. If I had to nitpick, I do prefer the canister-emptying design on my old vacuum, which allowed for a top-release that kept my hands a little cleaner. But that’s a small tradeoff for how well this vacuum performs overall.
In short, I find myself reaching for the CleanView® Max Lift-Off way more often than my previous vacuum. It’s a great find for anyone juggling kids, pets, and multiple floor types.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lightweight with great suction
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: EvaV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything came nicely packaged in a box. Assembly took 5 seconds. It was literally just snapping the canister on to the bottom, sliding the handle in, and attaching the tubing.
It comes with 2 separate handheld attachments that easily attach to the handle. The handle itself slides out so easily with just the push of a button! I was surprised at how easily it came out and the reach i had with the handle and flexible tubing.
We have weird fibrous carpet so our regular cordless vacuum wasn't cutting it. This one got A LOT out as you can see in the picture. I wasn't expecting that much to still be leftover after using the cordless!
Although it's lightweight, it doesn't roll or steer easily over our type of carpet. On the tile and rugs, it went smoothly, but my arm was already tired after vacuuming 3 bedrooms. It bends pretty far from side to side (as shown in a picture) and back. It just unfortunately didn't help with maneuvering across my carpet. It did help very easily navigate over the tile and rugs though.
It's not as loud as our old corded vacuum but is still louder than the cordless one.
The cord is pretty long so I can go far. It wraps back up on the side and the things that hold it, turn so you can quickly release the entire cord when starting.
Emptying was simple. Just released the canister and push to open the hatch over the trashcan. I did have to reach in to pull out a small tangle of my hair but everything else dumped out easily.
Overall, I like how much it suctions and will continue to use it for our carpeted areas. I'll just get a little but of am arm work out with it.

Great concept but lacks power
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: momof2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum came in about 6 pieces that needed to be snapped into place. It took about a minute to fully assemble. I liked the design and color. It’s simple to use. All buttons clearly state what they’re for. The lift off feature is pretty cool. You’re able to lift not only just the hose from the base, which is also the handle of the vacuum, but you can lift off the unit itself that stores the dirt and dust you’ve vacuumed. Reaching into tight places is easy due to this feature. It cleaned my tile well. However, the vacuum lacked power and was hard to push on carpet. It felt as though the vacuum was lagging at times and just wasn’t able to keep up. You’re able to adjust the vacuum from bare floor to plush carpet but that didn’t help any. After vacuuming I could still feel crumbs on my carpet. Lastly, it doesn’t hold much, you’ll be needing to dump into the trash often.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great versatile home vacuum
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: BGClear85
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great vacuum, especially at the price! Straight out of the box, my first thought was that I was going to have to spend a bunch of time putting it together but it was actually a very simple set of steps that just snap together. It also turns out that each of those parts are pieces that you can take apart later to use in different "modes" anyway, so there really isn't any complex assembly to speak of.
This vacuum has a lot of different options including a long wand with a narrow tip, a hose connection with a specialty Turbo Brush and a "lift off pod" so you can really be mobile and vacuum into spaces that you maybe couldn't haul another bulkier vacuum. The versatility of this vacuum is great, especially if you have kids and pets whose messes get into really tight spaces. I tested this on hardwood, carpet and rugs and it was equally effective on all 3, as well as using the hose and wand connections up on countertops and furniture. What I was looking for was if it was actually picking up the mess or just moving it around and I was glad to see that it left the area perfectly clean. The brushes also actually pulled things up into the canister as opposed to shooting them across the room, which I've had some vacuums do in the past. It's also very lightweight, so it's easy to move around the house.
I have kids and a cat and a long haired dog, so it was really a trial for this thing and I'm glad to say that it passed the test. The dog hair was pulled right in and did not get immediately clogged in the brush. The canister is really easy to empty too, you just lift off with one button and then push one button to dump out the bottom. You don't have to get your hands involved.
This may not be as fancy looking as some more expensive vacuums, but I still think it's nice looking and it's definitely effective at doing it's job which is the whole point of a vacuum. If you need to clean your house and you want some extra options and accessories, this is a great bet.

Handles Fur and Crumbs and Chaos with Ease
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: 5star
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off has truly been a game-changer in my home. With two fluffy cats and a very active toddler, messes are a daily reality—from fur on the couch to crumbs and spills all over the floors. This vacuum handles it all with ease, and I honestly don’t know how I managed without it.
What I love most is the Lift-Off pod—it’s by far my favorite feature. It makes cleaning the stairs and couch incredibly easy. I can just pop it off and tackle hair and crumbs in tight spaces without dragging the whole vacuum around. It’s perfect for getting under cushions, around table legs, and even into the car when needed. That flexibility alone makes it worth every penny.
The suction power is fantastic. It picks up everything on the first pass—cat hair, dirt, toddler snack crumbs—you name it. It transitions seamlessly between our area rugs and hardwood floors without losing performance, which makes cleaning faster and a lot less frustrating.
Design-wise, I love how sleek and modern it looks. It’s not clunky or overly bulky like some vacuums I’ve owned, and it stores away neatly. It’s also lightweight and really easy to maneuver around furniture and toys.
Another plus? It’s surprisingly quiet. My cats don’t immediately bolt when I turn it on, and my toddler is actually curious instead of terrified.
Emptying the dustbin is quick and mess-free, and the filters are easy to access. It’s clear that Bissell really thought about the needs of busy households when they designed this.
If you have pets, kids, or just want a vacuum that makes your life easier, the CleanView® Max Lift-Off is the one. I genuinely enjoy using it, and that’s something I never thought I’d say about a vacuum!

Great lightweight vacuum with easy to use wand
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: chickenboo42
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I REALLY like this vacuum. Very easy to assemble out of the box. It's pretty lightweight and doesn't take up a ton of room in my closet where I store it--I vacuumed some carpeted bedrooms after I used my battery powered stick vaccuum, and it pulled up a HUGE amount of dirt and dog hair that wasn't picked up the first time around. Impressive. The wand release is super easy to use, and the canister is easy to dump. All around, a really powerful, affordable vacuum that's easy to maneuver and feels really lightweight. The only thing I don't love is how far out the wand hose sticks out behind the canister--It's a little bit awkward when not using the wand. The cord holder feels a bit flimsy too, so we'll see how long that lasts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this super light weight vacuum. Easy to carry upstairs or move around the house! My kids even love using it and being light weight and easy to use, I let them get after it!! Nice clean look and design. Easy to take apart to clean! Very strong power for even the messiest of houses!! With 2 kids I needed a strong vacuum and this one did the job! We have been remodeling and this vacuum really cleaned the floor. We only have hardwood and our floors are so nice and clean!

CleanView
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: MaxVac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box, I absolutely loved the design of the vacuum! It’s a nice, slightly compact, size. The deep blue with black and dark gray of the “see through” canister go so well together.
I love how easily the top half detaches from the main base for higher cleaning, and how everything is clearly labeled for use. No questioning what went where or how to use.
The top half is also pretty light! I can easily manage it holding with one hand.
Used for cleansing carpet, laminate and the couches; it did a great job on all! Mostly pet hair and small dirt, but our dog also loves to pull the trash can out and apart if left alone and it did a great job of cleaning up the mess (including all of the tiny coffee grounds).
The size of the vacuum has been my favorite feature so far. It fits so nicely in the closet without taking too much space and with it being somewhat compact the weight is so easy to manage as well with carrying up and down the stairs and taken apart!
