[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, how do I write this review without sounding obsessive? With a dog and five kids (ages 2-9), I was desperate for a quicker floor fix. I didn’t want to always drag out my big vacuum, but also needed something more efficient than my ole broom and dustpan. Alas, this vacuum showed up at my front door and changed my life! It has significantly helped my sanity. Not only am I impressed by all the attachments and how well it works on hard floors, rugs and carpet, it’s also so easy to use! I can easily hand it off to one of my kiddos so they can help out. The headlights are a double-edged sword: I love that I can get a better picture of what needs to be picked up, but also, oh my gosh, is this what my floor has always looked like?! Thankfully, my Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is here to save the day. If you’re on the fence, do it! My only regret is that I didn’t get one sooner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased and used multiple cordless vacuums but the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is definitely on the top of my list because it works great! I have 3 small children and an elderly dog so I am constantly vacuuming crumbs and dog hair. The Bissell picked up everything even the stuff I couldn’t see. This vacuum has head lights to help you see fur that other vacuums leave behind. I was able to find all the left over hair I missed from the previous time I had vacuumed with a different vacuum. The Bissell is very light weight so much so I was able to vacuum with one hand while holding a child in the other. My 3 year old also decided to help and she was able to move it and vacuum no problem. One feature I found extremely useful is the self standing design. I was able to leave it upright without it falling while in the past with other vacuums I would have to lay it flat if I needed to step away. The versatility of the product is very impressive. From hard wood floors, to rugs and upholstery I was very surprised how much stuff it was picking up. I was mostly impressed with my couch and rugs. The amount of hair and dust it picked up was extremely satisfying because I knew I was getting things clean. After a week of vacuuming I typically clean the brush to get long hair cleaned out that might of gotten tangled. This vacuum had none, which was a huge win for me because it was one less thing I had to do. As a person who likes to do things just once I truly think this product gets the job done. I was able to vacuum my whole house on the highest setting without leaving anything behind on a full battery. This busy mom will be using the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder from now on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder performed well in my home, which is all LVP with area rugs. We have dogs and little kids constantly making messes and fur tumbleweeds in this house, so essentially any time someone has 5 free minutes it should probably be spent vacuuming. As someone who had only minor complaints about my existing vacuum, I was surprised to notice that I have been reaching for the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder first because the battery lasts longer than my other stick vacuum and the little light function is surprisingly very useful on my LVP floors! I didn’t think the lights would be any use in bright morning sunlight, but it actually helped me see hidden dog hair and crumbs I did not notice. I have been using it not only on the floors and carpets, but also on my furniture. It’s easy to maneuver and makes the chore of vacuuming slightly less annoying. The canister is straightforward to empty. I am not the organized type who has my vacuum hanging from a home, but tend to move it around my house to grab when I have the chance. For someone like me, the self standing function makes it easier for me to position it anywhere in my house ready for the next moment I need it. It’s got a sturdy construction but it’s not cumbersome whatsoever. I’d say this vacuum is similar to if not slightly better than some other popular stick vacuums - it’s able to handle our messes and I’ve been quite happy with it so far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum! We live on a small farm with an indoor/outdoor dog and 3 busy teenagers, 2 of which are girls with long hair so we do plenty of vacuuming. We have a combination of tile, wood flooring and rugs. This vacuum does it all with ease. My favorite thing is how easy it turns along all the angled walls in our kitchen and living room, the rooms we vacuum almost daily. A close second is how easy the brush pops off the bottom so that I can use the stick to get windowsills and hard-to-reach places like behind the toilet or couch. My husband and I were both surprised how effective the headlights are in illuminating all the light colored hair on our floors. They look clean until the headlights hit them and then . . . WOW . . . we're so glad we've got the vacuum out! Because it's so lightweight and easy to grab, we find ourselves vacuuming more often and keeping up with our house better. Its compact design and battery power has also made it easy to use in our cars (without brush head), and on our furniture (with pet hair attachment). It's an all-around MVP of housekeeping!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum felt very luxe right out of the box, materials are quality, felt sturdy. Very simple to assemble, and it was a nice touch that equipment was included to hang the unit on the wall, out of the way. Even so, as you can see from the photo, it will easily fit into any nook. Charging did not take overly long. Plenty powerful enough to handle picking up dust and dirt. The long neck/tube is potentially the best feature, made it easy to access areas that our bigger, 'roller' vacuum wouldn't be able to access easily. It still scared our dogs and baby though, so we havent solved every vacuuming issue yet. Emptying it out was simple, but reattaching the dust/dirt catch component was a little finicky.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum is easy to put together – I didn’t need the instructions to get started, and I really like the headlight feature. You can see in detail every little tiny hair and crumb your other vacuums or floor cleaning efforts have left behind. You can also very clearly see (unfortunately) this vacuum does not have the best suction power, especially in the lowest mode. There are a couple nooks and crannies in my house I kept going over and couldn’t get all the fine particles and/or hairs out of with this vacuum.
The other feature I absolutely adore on this stick vacuum (and if you’ve had others, you’ll also appreciate) is the ability for it to stand up on its own – it doesn’t have to “lean” on something or be hanging on the wall. This feature might seem small, but it’s huge when you’re a stop/start cleaner like me. I hate how my other stick vacuums have had to ‘lean’ precariously against the wall or the couch while I run off in between vacuuming to grab/do something else.
I did try all of the attachments. Ultimately found I liked using it best with the full size/original foot, mostly because of the headlight, but also because the attachments (while easy to take on and off) weren’t the easiest to use. As far as run time, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I think the box says 45 minutes, but I certainly did not get that on the highest mode, which is the only mode I will use this in. But, whatever the run time, I was able to get most of the main areas on one level (kitchen, bathroom, living/dining room) done with one charge.
Another bonus, this vacuum is really easy to clean. I dump the bin after every use, so it's very important it's easy to come on and off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder, and I’m genuinely impressed by how well it balances form and function. First off, the sleek, the self standing design is a major win—it’s lightweight, easy to store, and looks good even when it’s not tucked away. I primarily have hardwood floors throughout the house but have several area rugs. The stick vacuum performs beautifully on both surfaces. I also love using the FurFinder on my cloth couches to collect all the pet hair.
Performance-wise, the suction is surprisingly powerful for such a compact device. It handles everything from fine dust to stubborn pet fur on both hard floors and rugs with ease. My two shedding pets usually mean constant cleanup, but this vacuum makes it a quick, satisfying task.
One of the standout features is the built-in headlights in the cleaning head. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference—especially under furniture or in dim corners. I’ve spotted more hidden dust and fur than I ever expected. This feature should be standard on all vacuums.
The battery life is decent, charging is straightforward, and the detachable canister is easy to empty without a mess. If you’re looking for a stylish yet highly functional vacuum that doesn’t miss a spot—literally—this one’s a solid choice. Thank you Stellar Product Review Panel for the opportunity to test this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I like about this vacuum is that it has headlights that makes it super easy to spot and grab pet hair and other small debris. We have a golden retriever and the floor is beige, so it is actually pretty hard to see the pet hair, but it is there all the time. Besides that, it is really great vacuum overall, that works well on a variety of surfaces, and can also be used on upholstery. I like that it has a self-standing design that allows you to store it standing - fits in a smaller space. Battery seems to work for a decent amount of time, and recharging is quick and easy. Overall I would say this is a great stick vacuum, especially if you have pets and need to do quick cleans and touch ups all the time.
