Impressive performance but heavy
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: HariB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Bissell vacuums since 2014. Every model I have had has worked reliably without any complaints. I currently have Powerforce Helix model and it has been working great so far. I have a 4 month old baby who likes to put everything in his mouth. So it is essential for me to keep my floors and all other surfaces clean.
The Cleanview Max Lift off model came with some serious upgrades. This vacuum truly stands out thanks to its thoughtful design, where the handle model, brush tools, and switch placement make a huge difference. Switching between carpet and hard floors is now effortless, with the control conveniently located on the handle, saving your back from bending. Plus, the wand release and on/off switches are all easily accessible on the top, and emptying the dust bin (Lift-off pod) is as simple as my current model, ensuring a user-friendly cleaning experience. Washable filter is another plus.
The suction on this vacuum is incredibly powerful. I don’t have pets, but I’m currently dealing with postpartum hair loss (which honestly feels like having a very sheddy pet), and this vacuum picked up every single strand from both the carpet and hard floors. I was shocked at how much hair, lint, and dust it pulled from even a small area rug. On the 3rd picture, the ugly mass on the side of the collection container is all the hair it pulled from just the 1st floor which has both tiles and carpet.
This vacuum comes with 2 brush attachments. One is the 2-in-1 Dusting brush and Crevice tool which pulled all the dust and food crumbs from my couch and kids' car seats. The other one is the Turbo brush(refer to my 2nd picture), a game changer! It works great on the stairs, mattresses, and curtains. It made cleaning those surfaces much faster and more thorough. I used it on a mattress that’s only a month old, and the dirt container still collected a noticeable amount of dust.
The only major downside is the weight. It’s noticeably heavy. After vacuuming just the first floor, my hands and wrists were sore. At first, I thought it was just my weak postpartum body—but both my dad and my husband (who regularly lifts weights) agreed it's on the heavier side.

Great-
1) Very powerful suction
2) Works well on multiple surfaces (carpet, tile, couch, car seat, mattress, curtain and wall)
3) Useful attachments, especially the Turbo brush.

Not so great-
1) Quite heavy - Can cause temporary hand/wrist soreness with extended use.

Peak Functionality
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Kdav
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box, this vacuum was very intuitive and easy to put together. Taking the canister off the base, and taking the hose out of the canister, are both done at the push of a button, making it a breeze to easily switch from floor vacuuming, to using the hose for high areas, to carrying the canister to vacuum the stairs. I really appreciate that the on/off switch is right at your thumb’s reach when carrying the canister. The extension on the hose is super long…for the first time I don’t have to try hard to reach high areas and ceilings! I’ve used this vacuum on hard surfaces, carpeting, as well as area rugs and upholstery…it handles all of these perfectly…especially our dog and cat hair. My favorite feature is by far that you can turn the roller brush off! My previous vacuum did not have this feature and it was very frustrating. The roller brush automatically turns off when the vacuum is upright, but you can also opt to turn it off for any task. I also appreciate that the fine tip hose extender attachment is 2-in-1…with a slideable brush to reduce the number of attachments to keep track of. Overall, this vacuum is sleek, lightweight, and an absolute breeze to use. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun this vacuum is to use and how much it actually makes me want to vacuum.

Quite a Powerhouse
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: momof3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I was absolutely disgusted by how much came off my area rug. I’ve used a high quality, cordless stick vacuum for almost 5 years now with no issues. I’m talking dogs, children, messy husband and I’ve always felt my vacuum did a great job (I vacuum at least once, sometimes twice a day). But the amount of stuff that came off my area rug with my first use of the CleanView® Max Lift-Off was unfathomable. One of the best features is the length of the power cord on this vacuum. In the past I’ve hated corded vacuums due to having to plug it in each room, but I was able to get a good three rooms with one central outlet. The buttons are simple, low/high, solid floor/carpet but the suction power certainly does its job even with basic features. The wand and attachments are minimal but I don’t need anything more to get the baseboards or hard-to-reach spaces. The downfall is the weight of the vacuum and being that it’s larger and corded, it’s just not going to be my “daily driver”, so to speak. But breaking this out a couple times a week is completely worth it! Even if this was my only vacuum, I’d be highly pleased as it picks up well on the hardwood, under the table where the kids tend to leave the most messed. I’m almost embarrassed to add photos after vacuuming area rugs, tile, and hardwood in my 1,100 sq ft home (AFTER using my cordless, stuck vacuum), but if it helps someone solidify their purchase, I’m happy to include them!

Amazing vacuum
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: Crunchymom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum! It’s one of the best I have used while being a toddler momma. Every day there are a ton of things that end up on the floor which includes sand, dirt, tiny pieces of paper, etc. (Not to mention hair!) This vacuum picks up all that, plus a ton of dust I didn’t know was living on our carpets (even though we had been using another brand). It takes less than a minute to assemble, and is not too heavy. Highly recommend!

A good sturdy vacuum
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: Girlsam12
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe too good! This vacuum was really easy to put together. My initial thoughts were that it’s pretty heavy.. which I don’t love, but I recognize that there’s a reason for its heft and it probably means it’ll give me a heavy duty clean. I first tried it on my hard wood floors and area rugs. Since it has two settings, I mainly used the lower one first (without the roller brush that’s for carpet). But with my past vacuum cleaners I’d always used the higher setting on my area rugs to really get the dirt up, and it had never been an issue, so I decided to try it on this one. That might’ve been a mistake - when I emptied the dirt container (also easy to do) there were some red fibers from my rug inside. I think the vacuum might have sucked up a bit more than I bargained for! After that I decided to stick to using the higher setting on carpets only, which worked great.
Overall this vacuum works well and is easy to use, which is pretty much everything I want from a vacuum! It would be nice if it were lighter, but I’m willing to sacrifice that for a good clean. Just be careful on your delicate rugs!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome vacuum
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: Lesap65
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has to be one of the best vacuums I’ve ever used. I’ve been vacuuming for decades and this thing is amazing. I have a very popular brand of cordless vacuums. I vacuumed with my old one all over my living room and down the hall into the bedrooms. After that, I used this brand new one and the container was full of hair and dust!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It has super great suction and it’s very easy to use and handle. Yes, it’s slightly heavy but it’s a nice arm workout! I can’t say enough good things about this vacuum! Highly recommend!!

Versatile Vacuum with Powerful Performance
on May 25, 2025
Posted by: LiftOffLegend
[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. The suction power is strong, and it handles pet hair and debris on both carpet and hardwood floors with ease. I also liked the see-through canister—it was satisfying to see all the junk it picked up and reassuring to know it was working effectively.
The lift-off canister feature is especially convenient for stairs and furniture, making cleaning more versatile and less of a chore. I used the hose with the attachment for hard-to-reach places, and it worked really well for getting into tight corners and edges.
The vacuum is relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver. I also appreciate the large dust bin capacity, which means fewer trips to the trash can during big cleanups.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the power cord could be a little longer. It’s not a major issue, but I do find myself switching outlets more often than I’d prefer during a full-house clean. Also, a light on the bottom would be very convenient.
All in all, this is a solid vacuum with great features at a fair price. I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a reliable, powerful machine with added convenience.
