CleanView Max Lift Off
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the CleanView Max Lift-Off for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really impressed with its performance and design. Right out of the box, I liked how sleek and modern it looked. It’s not bulky like some vacuums I’ve used in the past, and the lift-off feature makes it feel very versatile and convenient. It feels powerful, easy to use, and very thoughtfully designed for everyday cleaning needs.
In terms of cleaning power, it’s excellent. I used it on both carpet and hardwood floors, as well as area rugs, and it handled everything with ease. It picked up pet hair, crumbs, dust, and even some ground-in dirt from the entryway rug with no problem. I didn’t have to go over the same area multiple times, which made cleaning much faster. It adjusted well to each surface and cleaned them all effectively without scattering debris. I also appreciated how strong the suction was without being overly loud.
My favorite feature is definitely the lift-off canister. It made it so easy to clean stairs, furniture, and hard-to-reach corners. I didn’t have to wrestle with the whole vacuum to get to those tight spots—it felt like I had two tools in one. I also like how it is able to hold the attachments right on the vacuum itself.
Overall, the CleanView Max Lift-Off made my cleaning routine quicker and more efficient. It’s powerful, thoughtfully designed, and easy to maneuver. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable vacuum that can handle a variety of surfaces and messes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lightweight powerful vacuum
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Melissa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with how easy this vacuum was to put together, as well as, how lightweight it is! We have a dog who sheds quite an bit and both hardwood and carpeted floors in our home. This vacuum pulled out a ton of dog hair out of our carpet, which was slightly embarrassing to know that much was embedded in it. It also moved easily on hardwood floors, picking up the finest of hairs; however, when you turned off on the hardwood floor, there was a little bit of pushback with some debris,coming back out. The attachment piece was very easy to use it was more powerful than I was expecting due to the size of it. The vacuum isn’t too bulky so fits comfortably in our hallway closet without taking up too much space. Overall, I would highly recommend this vacuum for any home with the dog. You won’t be disappointed!

Clunky but effective
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Lor2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum looks pretty nice and is easily used in different ways by removing the wand from the base or using its attachments. It is quite effective at picking up debris, including pet hair from fabric surfaces and rugs. Using the turbo max attachment was super helpful on my furniture. The little extension wand for narrow spaces was not long enough for me, but I did appreciate the brush head on it to help get pet hair off of things. The ability to change the settings for different floor surfaces, and for whether you use the roller brush in the base, was also very helpful. It was very easy to detach and empty the container into the trash. What makes me disappointed in the vacuum is how clunky it felt to me. It is definitely heavy and was a workout to use it for an extended time. It is pretty easy to turn, but the vacuum tends to go back into the vertical position and I then have to manually adjust it back into an angled position for maneuvering the vacuum. When using the wand detached, the hose was very stiff and didn't want to extend, which then meant that unless I held the vacuum in place it wanted to pull over and follow the wand. It actually did this during my first use and fell over onto my ankle, which was very painful due to the weight. Overall, I just found it a lot heavier and more difficult to maneuver than my old canister vacuum, which was disappointing. However, I do appreciate that it seems very effective, especially with picking up pet hair from fabric surfaces. So, I give a middling rating to this vacuum.

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.

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!
