[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum performs well. I have 2 kids, 3 cats and a dog. I need a GOOD vacuum. I love that this has multiple attachments as well as a light to see hair/dust. The collection bin comes off without having to take apart the vacuum (major plus). The bin is also very easy to clean. The furfinder can handle cleaning area rugs as well as hardwood floors and moves between them easily. The upholstery attachment is fantastic for my couch. The only downside is that this vacuum is a little heavy. It’s not a deal breaker but something to consider! Otherwise I love it and use it daily. Additionally this vacuum stands on its own which is so helpful. I don’t have to lean it on something or worry about it toppling over.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell stick vacuum is extremely easy to use and put together. It comes with different attachments and a wall charging dock. The stick vac is more quiet than other stick vacs we have. On hard floors I felt it needs to be turned up to the third level suction to get all pet hair, crumbs, etc. On carpet it was effective on level 2 or 3. The headlight feature made it easy to see hair and debris. It was shocking how much pet fur is on your floors. My favorite attachment was the FurFinder tool on our couches. Our dog and cat both love to be on the couches and it did a great job at removing all the pet hair. The headlight assisted in making sure the services were clean. The one thing I would mention is the FurFinder tool is very strong and keeps moving and could be a hazard around small fingers/children. The brush on the wand attachment did not stay on and kept falling off. I ended up removing it completely and just using the wand as it. I loved the feature that the vacuum can stand by itself. Other stick vacs we own do not do this and end up falling right on the floor unless they are propped up effectively. Overall, we like the stick vac and would recommend to others with pets.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stick vacuum has been fantastic. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The wand can go low enough that I can get under the couch and under our beds - which I could not do with our other stick vacuum. I love that you can select the power of the suction depending on what cleaning job you are doing. I found that the lowest setting was normally powerful enough for my every day cleaning. One charge normally lasted for three days of vacuuming up the dog hair/dirt from the main level of the house; however, the battery may not last as long if you are using a more powerful suction and doing more deep cleaning. The headlights on the floor attachment were like magic. They illuminated all of the hair and dirt (that the naked eye couldn't see). My husband even commented on how great that feature was. The FurFinder tool and tangle free brush roll were both fantastic. Dog hair was getting pulled out of our rug and couch that our other stick vac had (apparently) left behind. The amount that this vacuum pulled out was honestly amazing. My only complaint about this stick vacuum was that it would leave lines of hair on the pull back (with the main/floor attachment) causing you to have to vacuum in circles to get everything up. I will note, that it only seemed to do this on the rugs, not on the hard floors. A minor inconvenience for all of the other wonderful qualities of the vacuum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell cordless vac is great. The suction is really strong, and it does well cleaning my hardwood floors, tile floors and rugs. It's not very loud, and the battery life is long enough to clean my whole house without it running out. I have a long-hair dog and three young children so I vacuum multiple times a day. I find the cordless nature of this great, because it allows me to do quick cleanups with little hassle. Unlike the other stick vac that I've used which requires that you hold down the trigger to run it, the Bissell has an on/off button that you press once to turn on. As such, it makes larger cleaning jobs a lot easier. With the trigger style, your hands end up hurting if you clean your whole house. The Bissell is a lot better. Also, the floor attachment has a light which illuminates the dust and pet hair, making it a lot easier to see the debris you're trying to clean. The only negative I'd say is that it's slightly heavier than the other stick vac I've used. I think this is because the battery is bigger (and last longer), so I'd take the trade in weight for battery life any day. Overall I highly recommend this stick vac and I'd buy it again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of this vacuum was very positive! It’s better than my other high end stick vacuum in a lot of ways. The suction is good for a stick vacuum. The battery lasts a decent amount of time compared to my other vacuum. It is light weight and very easy to maneuver. I have a home with primarily hardwood floors and I never realized how much a light on a vacuum would be helpful. The light reveals every dog hair I have been missing with my previous vacuum. I have used it several times and still no hair tangled on the brush roll. The self-standing design is so nice for when I set it aside. My only con is that it’s a little difficult to maneuver on carpet but definitely still worth it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow!! I LOVE this vacuum. It is by far the best vacuum I have tried, and trust me with four dogs and a cat, I’ve tried a lot. It works extremely well on my hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors. The FurFinder Headlights are a game changer. They allow me to see everything. Instead of having to vacuum one area multiple times to make sure I got everything, I can trust that it is clean because of the Headlights. It’s reduced my vacuuming time by about 20-30 minutes. It’s extremely comfortable to use. The battery life lasts a long time. It’s easy to charge. The FurFinder tool has literally changed the look of one of my couches (no joke). I truly cannot recommend this vacuum enough! If you have pets, or even if you don’t but you want a great vacuum, you need this one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After about a month of usage, my overall impression of the Bissell PowerClean Furfinder is that it is absolutely amazing. We have a combination of wood floors, tile, and carpet in our home, which was a great environment to put it to the test. Overall, it worked very well on all surfaces. The different power modes allowed me to feel in control when switching surfaces or going over heavy traffic areas such as the entry, mud room, and kitchen. My favorite feature is the headlight, it is very bright and really allows you to see what you are cleaning and leaves you satisfied knowing that you have left the surface spotless. I never actually knew how dirty our floor was without ever having used a vacuum with a headlight. We have two heavy shedding cats in our home, and I never noticed how much hair they truly left on on our floors until using this stick vacuum. I was not only pleased at how well the Bissell Furfinder picked up the pet hair amongst everything else, I was thrilled that I could confirm the floor was clean by knowing the headlight gave me proof. I was also very satisfied on how it worked on all three different flooring surfaces in our home. Although the vacuum worked very well in the lowest suction setting, I liked the fact that I could really ramp up the suction if needed and it wouldn’t run out of battery before finishing. I have about 2000 square feet of flooring in our home, and I think I could vacuum the entire house twice on one charge. The collecting canister is rather large as well and could technically handle several full cleanings without being emptied. Other things I noticed was that it made a great upholstery cleaner as well. The included upholstery head attachment worked really well on our couches and vehicles. The suction is very powerful and the battery lasts for what feels like forever. Lastly, I really liked the tangle free brush roll feature. I never had to worry about untangling the head as it effortlessly handled the copious amount of pet hair on our floors. If I had to take a break, the vacuum stands on its own as well. This was great so I didn’t have to lean it against something where it could fall. Overall, this vacuum has been a blessing in my home and makes keeping up with everyday cleaning a breeze.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum does a decent job as a regular vacuum. As a "pet hair" specific products it was sub-par compared to others I have used. Its not too noisy so that is a plus, but the weight is a little bit too heavy for my taste.
Overall, I'd give it a three out of five since I didn't see any noticeable difference when tackling pet hair.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
