[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this vacuum. I have a different brand in a similar style and it is not nearly as good at cleaning floors/furniture. We have a lot of hardwood in the house and many vacs struggle to actually get the dog hair off wood floors, but this one has no issues. The headlights are amazing at helping to spot areas of dust/fur that your eye doesn’t always see. I’m similarly impressed at how effective it is on furniture. Having a golden retriever, it is hard to escape fur in the house whether it’s couches, carpets or floors. One of my favorite features is that it stands upright on its own. Other brands are too top heavy to be able to do this and require bolting the charger to a wall. The charging cord is also slim not bulky. I would highly recommend this to anyone not just with a dog as it’s amazing with dust as well. We recently painted and had floors done in our home and this had no problem getting the floors cleaned after all the sanding.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a decent cordless vac. I like that it is self-standing but thought it looked like it could tip over at any second. Pros: the lights are so handy! The lights are so nice especially for hardwood floors - to see what you're vacuuming up. The self-standing design is a huge plus but it definitely could be more stable. I like that it has a hanging base to charge and the base has the ability to hang the attachments as well. I really like how lightweight it is and that it's a fairly quiet machine even on the highest setting. I like that this has a removable battery so you can have a backup. Cons: I am not a fan of the dustbin design. I'd prefer a more hands free or button design. You have to remove the filter to empty the dustbin and if I'm vacuuming I want to have a quick and handsfree option. The dustbin is also very small. The furfinder design seemed to not get very deep on carpet. I really like the idea of a furfinder attachment but wish it was executed a little better. Suggestions/my preferences: I would love an auto detect option - even if it was just for carpet to hardwood. Overall, this is a fine cordless stick vac. At this price point and with this brand, it's not overly luxury but it's practical and good for busy families.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With 4 kids a dog (and husband), having the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder to tackle the daily mess has been a godsend. The illuminated headlights made those under-island crumbs easily found and eliminated. Our vizsla has the smallest red hairs that like to find every nook and cranny of our couches and rugs which is easily sucked up with the FurFinder tool. I love having a cordless option to zip around the house without being attached to a wall. It also makes it convenient to take out to the car for a quick crumb cleanup or zip upstairs to suck up dried playdo. The charge easily held for the entire downstairs of our home (~1500 sq ft). The handheld component was a bit bulkier than other stick vacuums out there, but still maneuvered well and didn’t have a problem with fur and hair with the tangle-free brush roll. Overall a happy customer here.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a good handheld/stick vacuum that worked well on area rugs, hardwood floors, and tile. It effectively removed fur and hair from my area rugs and hard floors. However, it struggled with small debris and crumbs compared to my other stick vacuum. Additionally, when vacuuming thin rugs, it easily sucked them up but then shut off the suction.
I appreciated the bright headlight that illuminated a wide area of flooring, making it easier to see what needed cleaning. The vacuum was user-friendly, with the power button staying on when pushed, unlike my other stick vacuum that required holding the button down. It offered multiple power levels, which was convenient for different surfaces. The detachable attachments made it easier to vacuum different areas. The charging station attached directly to the wall, allowing for convenient storage and charging.
Unfortunately, the battery only lasted about 30 minutes, making it impractical for vacuuming the entire house at once. However, it stood upright independently off the charging stand, providing a convenient option for breaks. Overall, it’s a good stick vacuum that serves its purpose. If you have a dog that sheds more than mine, it might be even more useful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ease of using this vacuum! Cleaning up after 2 toddlers and a large dog seemed to take up most of my time but this product was a game changer for me. It’s extremely effective and easy to use! The amount of dog hair it cleaned up was phenomenal as the fur finder really helped remove any hair from rugs on our hardwood floors and the couch that he always sneaks up on! I would highly recommend if you want to add an easy very effective cleaning to your routine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder was so easy to use right out of the box. I used it on our hardwood floors and area rugs with ease. I especially loved the lights on the stick vac to help illuminate and draw attention to more problem areas. Great suction, very little need to go over the same spot multiple times (only big problem areas). My only small “complaint” is that the smaller size of the dust bin, making the need to empty it out more frequent. Despite that, I highly recommend this stick vac.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is a dream! If you have a pet that sheds, you need this vacuum. The battery life impressed me the most. I was able to use the vacuum multiple times without any power declining. The suction power is amazing and I rarely had to go over the same area more than once.
Using this tool on the couch was one of the winning factors. With dogs, especially mine, they love to cuddle and rub their backs, bellys and heads all over the couch which in turn leaves our pants very hairy if we sit on the couch! I tested an area to see how well the vacuum picks up the shedding and I’ve got to say, my mouth was open with how much was picked up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stick vac is a game changer! I didn't realize that I needed a vacuum with a light (the FurFinder Headlights) until I had this machine! The headlights are so helpful is actually seeing the dirt, crumbs, and fur that's on the ground. It quickly cleans it up in one pass and the lights let you know that you actually got everything.
In our home we have both carpets and hardwoods. While I feel as if the light is more helpful on hardwoods, this vacuum worked great on both surfaces and did a great job picking up hair and other messes (we have 3 kids and a dog so there's lot's of that!)
This vacuum is also really lightweight which was so great when I was newly postpartum, I couldn't lift anything heavy, but I could manuever and lift it with ease. The self standing feature was also amazing! Though it will not stay standing if knocked into by a toddler.
We have not had to clean out the brush roll, so I'd say that the tangle free claim is accurate on this one, too!
Love this thing and it's become our go-to for quick cleans around the house- even more so than our expensive dysons!
