Great value vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon receiving the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder vacuum, we put it immediately to use!
The setup of the vacuum was incredibly easy and just needed to charge it for a few hours prior to use. You don’t have to instal the dock onto your wall if you don’t want to, you are able to just plug it in and charge it while the vacuum stands upright on its own. The ease of a wireless vacuum is everything!
The entire downstairs of my home is hardwood. Having the lights is so nice in detecting debris as well as animal fur that we couldn’t see with the naked eye.
As far as suction on the hardwoods, 10/10! There are 3 levels and I preferred staying on medium/high especially with having pets in the home. This vacuum got right up to the baseboards which I really appreciate and look for in a vacuum.
The crevice tool is incredible nice for those hard to reach areas as well as getting into my kids play bins to get out any dust/fur. We also tested out the handheld brush roll on the furniture (couch, chairs, stairs, etc.) and it did a great job at picking up crumbs and pet fur.
Have tried the vacuum now a few times on our upstairs carpeting and I will say I’m not the biggest far of this on the carpeting. While it did pick up surface debris/fur, it was leaving anything imbedded still there and had to break out our other vacuum to get a full clean.
My only other negative would have to be the battery life. On a full charge I couldn’t vacuum my entire 1900sq ft house without the battery dying.
All in all this is a great vacuum especially for the price! If your home is all carpeting I would probably look elsewhere but if you have minimal carpeting and primarily hard floors this is a great option!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This FurFinder vacuum is great! My favorite features would definitely be the way it stands upright on its own, whereas other stick type vacuums I’ve used do not have this capability. The other feature I love is the FurFinder light. It is AMAZING. It really shows pet fur and crumbs that I wouldn’t have seen with regular daylight alone. My dog sheds a lot and this vacuum had enough suction to make my floors and rugs feel very clean after a good vacuum. The filter is also very easy to clean out and doesn’t seem to have that horrible smell many vacuum filters get after multiple uses. My only complaint is that it’s a little on the heavier side so my arms do get a little bit of a workout if I’m doing a vacuum of the whole house. That is really my only (slight) issue but overall, it’s a great vacuum and I would absolutely recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of great features of this vacuum- both design and cleaning power. Highly, highly recommend.
Some of my favorite things:
Simple plug-in charging-You don’t need to remove and charge the battery separately.
The battery’s weight is more distributed than other Bissell cordless vacuums so it’s easier to maneuver and less heavy on your wrist.
It stands up…the self-standing is a real game changer! Other vacuums fall when leaned against a wall which turns into a crash landing with the vacuum sprawled across the floor.
The barrel/container that collects the hair, crumbs, and general mess is super easy to clean. It releases from the metal barrel when you tap it on the trash can so you don’t have to use your hand to remove the gunk.
Headlights are great. I love seeing otherwise invisible dust and hair on my hard wood floors and rugs/upholstery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have loved using our new Bissel PowerClean Fur Finder! It has been an easy addition to our home with two young boys and our GoldenDoodle dog. It is lightweight, portable. Features we love are the good battery life, easy to install charging and storage station and especially the light has been a major upgrade to making sure we don’t miss any spots on carpet or hard wood, especially helpful for dark surfaces or under furniture! We also found the self standing feature helpful as my wife and I are constantly cleaning up after our busy household. The portable design allows one of us to easily take out for a quick vacuum or move to multiple floors around the house. Would highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this new vacuum! Pros: lightweight, easy to maneuver, powerful suction, easy detatchment of the various attachments, good battery life, stands upright on its own. Cons: pinched my fingers once inserting the battery [I'll admit I wasn't even slightly paying attention at the time], takes two hands to empty the trap, no light when you remove the large attachment [I would love a vacuum that allows me to see what I'm sucking up behind furniture], not great on high pile rugs (though it is adequate!). I've rated it 5 stars because the pros far outweigh the cons!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Bissell PowerClean Furfinder stick vacuum for a little while now, and overall, I’m pleased with it. It’s a huge improvement over the heavy, awkward vacuums I’ve used in the past. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and convenient to grab for quick clean-ups, especially in rooms where pet hair tends to collect.
One feature I really appreciate is that it stands on its own. Being able to let it go and walk away whenever I need to is surprisingly handy — something I didn’t realize I’d value as much as I do. Most stick vacuums have to be propped against something to remain standing.
It does a decent job picking up cat fur from both rugs and hard floors. While it doesn’t have the powerful suction of my large, industrial-style vacuum, it’s much more practical for everyday use. I really love the headlight on it! It shows where the fur and dust is hiding and if I have gotten all of it. The attachments are simple to swap out, and the dirt container is incredibly easy to empty — though it’s small, as you’d expect with a stick vacuum.
The main downside for me is the battery life. I have a fairly large house, and I’d love for it to run at least 30–40 minutes on a charge, but it falls short of that. It also takes a while to recharge.
That said, for daily touch-ups and keeping pet hair under control, it’s a great tool. It’s so easy to use, I actually find myself vacuuming more often. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a lightweight, pet-friendly vacuum for quick clean-ups.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I have been impressed with this stick vac. The battery life is strong and I appreciate there being 3 different suction levels. To turn on the machine, a button needs to be pushed once, rather than a trigger being held the entire time, making for a comfortable vacuuming experience. I've primarily used the FurFinder attachment. I absolutely love the headlights; even when it is light in the room, the headlights help to find additional pieces of dog hair. The photo shows what the FurFinder picked up on two 8 x 10 area rugs, after a robot vac did the initial vacuuming. The FurFinder works great on rugs and upholstery, but it did not work well at all on hard wood as the vacuum needed to be at a very specific angle to pick up fur. This is the only reason for 4 stars. Other attachments work well on hard wood.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great vacuum! I previously owned a similar product that cost twice as much. This works as well or better. Good battery life - able to do the whole 2k sq ft house in a single charge. Works well on laminate, carpet, and area rugs. Great at picking up hair. I thought the lights were gimmicky before I used the vacuum but they’re actually really helpful. Collection container gets full quickly, but it’s simple to empty and probably wouldn’t fill so fast if I vacuumed more often. I highly recommend this vacuum, especially for the price. Fantastic value!
