I REALLY enjoy this vacuum BUT the battery life just doesn’t last long enough. I live in a one bedroom apartment and I’ll vacuum the entire place and the battery is gone. The vacuum is easy to handle, I can’t do vacuums with cords, this one is light weight and easy to move with
I would recommend this to a friend!

My friend recommended this vacuum and I love it - The charge lasts a long time on low and I love the power head comes off and has a crevice tool right there to use.
I wanted to love it. But the battery life killed it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Benda. We're sorry the battery life didn’t meet your expectations. The good news is we offer a replacement battery sold separately, so you can keep cleaning without long charging breaks. For help finding one, visit https://support.bissell.com.
The battery life for this product is very short. It only last 30m. I didn’t even get a chance to finish vacuuming my stairs. And then it takes 2-3hrs for it to fully charge. By that time I’ve forgotten to finish what I was cleaning with it. 😩 It’s a good vaccum tho. It’s just battery for me.

Thanks for your feedback, Cande — we totally understand how frustrating it can be when the battery runs out mid-clean. The PowerClean® FurFinder™ is designed for quick pick-ups, but for longer sessions, a second battery is available for purchase separately, which can help extend your cleaning time without waiting for a recharge. We’re glad to hear you like the vacuum overall! If you’d like help finding a second battery or have any other questions, feel free to reach out at https://support.bissell.com.
First of all, this really licks up the fur. Secondly, it is powerful.. I use all three suction modes from low to high. Low is good for picking up hair off your bed without sucking up the sheets. High speed is good for thick carpets, and the middle speed is the one I use most frequently for the mundane stuff like kitchen floors. Battery life is excellent. Easy to clean. If the roller jams (which is rare) it is easy to clean and resolve. Only complaint is location of the recharge port makes it hard to pull the charging cable out, but that’s a small issue. A vast and well thought out improvement on the old Pet Icon vac. I can’t live without this. Get it.
