[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With three kids and three pets, we’ve put more vacuums to the test than I can count, but the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder has officially won me over. It’s hands-down my favorite. I’m obsessed with the built-in light, though it’s a little horrifying to see just how much pet hair it reveals.
One of the biggest game-changers, it actually stands up on its own, something none of my previous stick vacuums could manage. It’s also surprisingly quiet, and the lowest setting is gentle enough to clean my washable rugs without bunching or damaging them (a rare find).
My only gripe, the dirt container is on the small side, so you’ll find yourself emptying it often. But honestly, for the power and convenience it delivers, it’s a decent trade-off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Short review: Buy it. Long review: I opened the box and thought the vacuum looked and felt a little cheaper than other stick vacuums I’ve had before. That is really my only “complaint.” The headlight is my favorite feature! I have mostly wood and tile floors so I turn the lights off and the vacuum light shows me exactly where I’ve been and where I’ve missed. I love how easily it comes apart. You can step on the lever to detach the vacuum head to get in corners or behind things. I can have a baby on my hip and still get my vacuuming done! It’s light weight; my kids love being able to help vacuum! I like being able to see how much stuff I’m sucking up and when I need to dump the bin. The charge lasts for multiple rounds of cleaning. I’m not sure I’ve used my upright vacuum since getting this one. I can get from one end of the house to the other without having to stop to unplug and plug it back in multiple times! I also love the holder— I don’t have to dig through the closet anymore for attachments! The little fur finder attachment works wonders on the couch. I wish I had pictures! The head is also low enough it can get clear under my coffee table and my media center without having to move either one. I hope this stick vacuum lasts for a long time, because I’m a big fan!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t realize how much I was missing until I tried the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder. With a large Goldendoodle and a crawling baby at home, messes are part of our daily routine—and this vacuum handles them like a champ. It’s incredibly easy to set up, lightweight, and powers through fur, dust, dirt, and crumbs in no time. One of my favorite features is how quiet it is—I can even clean during naptime without disturbing anyone. The FurFinder headlights were a game changer too, revealing just how much hidden fur was in my area rugs (far more than I expected, even on the lower suction setting). It glides smoothly around corners, fits easily under furniture, and handles stairs with ease.The dual-compartment filtration system is another thoughtful touch, separating hair from dirt and making emptying the bin a breeze. While I wouldn’t mind a longer battery life, it’s a small trade-off for everything else this vacuum offers. Overall, it absolutely lives up to its name—a must-have for any pet-loving household.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder! It’s lightweight, powerful, and super easy to use. I have mostly wood floors, and the light setting is perfect—it lets me clean my entire 3200 sq ft home on a single charge. I use the medium setting for area rugs and the high setting only when tackling embedded pet hair in my car. I have a dog with short, stubborn hair, and this vacuum picks it up effortlessly.
The FurFinder tool works very well on furniture and upholstery—it pulled up hair I didn’t even realize was there. The headlights are bright and honestly kind of embarrassing in the best way—they showed me how much dirt and hair my old vacuum left behind.
One of the most impressive features is the tangle-free brush roll. I have long hair, and with my old vacuum, it was always wrapped around the brush and hard to clean. With this one, it doesn’t get tangled at all!
I also love the self-standing design and the option to mount it on the wall. This vacuum has seriously changed my daily cleaning routine—it’s quicker, easier, and way more effective. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The great: This vacuum is easy to use, its rubber coated wheels roll and maneuver well on hard flooring. I love that the unit can stand up on its own, it makes it so much easier than other stick vacs if you get interrupted in the middle of a clean up. The dirt tank is also surprisingly large which lets you cover a lot of ground before having to make a trip to empty it out (more on that later). I also love the "fur finder" lights, although it may sound like a gimmick, it's almost scary how well they highlight dust and fur on what you thought might have been a clean floor.
The good: The vacuum is surprisingly quite, and barely upsets my golden retriever who hates vacuums religiously. Battery life is also good, and the battery is removable which is a great feature compared to some other brands. Suction power is good for a battery powered unit and has no issues with lots of dog hair or the occasional bit of stuffing from a dog toy. I also found the big floorhead to work well enough on area rugs or low pile carpet.
The bad: The included upholstery attachment also has the fur finding lights, but it bogs down on all of my upholstery making it pretty much useless in my home. I also think the floor attachment lacks power for a high pile carpet which is not an issue for me but could easily be a problem for folks with primarily carpeted flooring. While I love how much fur and dust the dustbin can hold, the spindle design traps dog hair and dirt around the spindle requiring you to pull it off and dirty your hands. It's not a deal breaker, but not ideal when compared to other systems that can be emptied without hassle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclosure: I received this Vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest opinion.
We don’t currently have a pet in the house, but we did recently, and to be honest as a postpartum mother I think I am doing the most shedding of hair currently. Also with two toddlers around there is no shortage of debris, dirt, and sand being drug into my house. I was previously utilizing a very popular expensive brand name cordless stick vacuum that has been failing to do a sufficient job even after replacing the battery. My house cleaners that come twice a month even commented on my need to replace it… and I can tell you we are all satisfied with this Bissel PowerClean FurFinder. It may not have the same level of strong suction that my previous vacuum started with, but it somehow does just as effective job, plus has some great extra features.
It performs well on all the various surfaces of my house, goes from tile, to hardwood, to plush rugs seamlessly. I did a deep clean of my couch and it did a great job. I like the small brush attachment for getting the upholstery clean. We have a pillowcase that sheds worse than any animal I’ve ever owned but the kids love it because it’s snuggly… and yet they constantly pull off tons of fuzzies from it and it leaves a huge mess. This vacuum handled it with a single pass and sucked up the metric ton of goldfish cracker crumbs with ease.
I expected to headlights to feel superfluous and my husband even mocked it a little, but it is soooo helpful. As I vacuum under tables and desks and dim hallways it made my tedious task just a little bit easier. And I didn’t have any moments of “I missed that spot” later that I usually have in these areas. I love it.
My absolute favorite feature I never would have thought was so important is the self-standing design. The amount of times I’m interrupted in a vacuuming task or have to stop to move a high chair out of the way and pick up a million cars and toys, this really saved my back. I used to lay down my old vacuum, pick up toys, pick up vacuum and continue. This really saved me time and energy. Also we haven’t settled on a permanently charging location so the self stand has made it easy to tuck into a little nook in our kitchen for charging.
Overall I found this vacuum to be extremely effective and its unique features to be thoughtfully designed and really improve my user experience. At first I missed the super suction of my old vacuum where I could see dust bunnys get drug toward it, but after experimenting with the different power levels of this Bissel I have zero negatives to say. It never ran out of battery during my task, I didn’t have to do second passes on areas, it didn’t get tangled hair in the brush. Simply put it is an excellent machine at a good value.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really effective cordless vacuum. We have 2 dogs and 3 kids, so the messes are constant. I was impressed how well this vacuum picked up dog hair. We have used it on tile, hardwood, and low pile rugs. It does great on hard floors and surprisingly well on rugs and carpets. It is pretty simple to transition from cleaning the floors to using the attachments to clean our sofa. It removes pet hair from the sofa pretty well considering its a cordless. I do wish the battery life was a bit longer but it’s enough to clean our main living area or sofa on a fully charged battery. If I wanted to go over more space I need to charge it. The headlight is bright and makes dirt and hair visible. We have white tile and a white dog so this was a really convenient feature for us. It’s not complicated to set up right out of the box and the buttons simple and easy to understand. I also appreciate that it doesn't fall over while its charging and there is no need to mount it to the wall.
Overall, this is a really handy vacuum. I love that its cordless but still manages to have the power to quickly clean dog hair off our sofa or cracker crumbs smushed into a rug. I use this vacuum nearly every day. Convenience is the best feature of the Power Clean Fur Finder.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a household with four large, shedding dogs, finding a vacuum that can keep up has been a serious challenge—until now. The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder has truly impressed us with how much it can pick up. From hair tumbleweeds to that ever-present layer of dust, using this vacuum daily has made a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of our home.
One standout feature is the built-in light, which makes it incredibly easy to spot hidden fur and dirt, helping us achieve a much deeper clean. But where this vacuum really shines is on dog beds—the FurFinder attachment has been a total game changer. For the first time, the beds feel clean, not just look it.
The PowerClean FurFinder is lightweight and simple enough to use every day, which makes keeping up with the mess a lot less stressful. The only drawbacks we’ve encountered are the relatively small canister, which fills up fast, and the shorter battery life—something to be aware of if you have a large area to clean in one go.
Overall, if you're a pet owner looking for a powerful, easy-to-use vacuum that truly tackles fur and dust, the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is worth it.
