Very disappointed in this stick vacuum cleaner it is not powerful at all. Half the time doesn't even come on. The battery. Doesn't last very long at all. waste of money.

Works well and isnt too heavy to carry up and down steps. But the battery is awful. Fully charged on the medium power level barely lasts 15 minutes! I cant even do a couple of rooms fully before it dies on me. To do my whole house (1700 sq ft) i have to stop and charge the battery several times. If i had known this i would have gotten a corded vacuum or another brand or model
Comparing the power clean stick vac to the dyson V11 that recently quit working I like the bissell much better, the headlights are a must have that the dyson does not have, the stand alone on the bissell is great not having to find a spot to lean it, and you don't need to carry the vacuum body to the trash to dump it. I would just like to have a meter to show time left on the battery. One more thing it's much quieter !
I am very happy with this product. Not only is it lightweight, it has great suction power! And the attachments make vacuuming furniture so much easier than the attachments on my corded vac.
After about a month of occasional use we have been very impressed. Reasonably powerful for a cordless stick vac. Light weight and easy to maneuver even into tight places like under furniture. Only negatives are fairly short battery life ( maybe 1/2 hr of average use), and the dirt collector seems a bit small. Overall this vacuum is excellent at price point and great for occasional house cleanups.
Can't believe I've been dragging around bulky, heavy vacs, limited by the extension cord, continuing to buy bags filling the landfills, all these years!! Dont let the size fool you! This little unit is the bomb!!! Cordless, lightweight, no bag and it sucks up the dog hair just as well as the big guys. Was thinking i should get a spare battery, but found the charge, with vac on highest setting, lasted about 30 minutes which was plenty of time to get what i needed done! Very highly recommend after 2 weeks of use. Wish i hadn't wasted so much money on the orhers. Will probably buy one for my son for Christmas!
