[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is hands down the best vacuum I’ve ever used—especially as a pet owner. My dog Nala has very fine hair that’s hard to see, but somehow manages to get everywhere. I was stunned by how much hair the vacuum picked up from both the carpet and couch in just one pass. It made a noticeable difference immediately.
The FurFinder tool is incredibly effective on upholstery and furniture. It removed embedded pet hair that other vacuums have missed, making my cleaning routine much quicker and more thorough. I even brought the vacuum up onto the couch—it's so lightweight that this was no problem at all.
It also did a fantastic job on my tile floors. The suction is strong and consistent across different surfaces, and the brush roll really does resist tangles like it claims. The vacuum charges quickly too, which is a nice bonus.
The FurFinder Headlights were surprisingly helpful. They clearly illuminated pet hair and debris I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise—especially under furniture and in corners—so I could clean with confidence that I wasn’t leaving anything behind.
Finally, the design is thoughtful and user-friendly. It’s easy to assemble, intuitive to use, and the self-standing feature is so convenient when pausing between rooms. Overall, it’s a fantastic vacuum that I would recommend to any pet owner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy new mama and dog mom to a very fluffy Airedale Terrier, I’m constantly trying to keep our home clean—but with minimal time and energy. I was genuinely excited to try a vacuum that could actually keep up with the real-life messes that come with pets, a baby, and busy family life.
Right out of the gate, I was impressed. This vacuum is super lightweight and glides easily across both hardwood and rugs. It handled every surface in our home without missing a beat. From high-traffic hallways to under-furniture corners, it performed far better than any cordless vacuum I’ve used before.
One of the standout features is the built-in headlights. They lit up pet hair, crumbs, and dust bunnies I didn’t even realize were there—especially along baseboards and under couches and coffee tables where messes like to hide. The FurFinder tool deserves a spotlight. It did an incredible job removing embedded pet hair from furniture and upholstery. Our dog sheds a lot, and this vacuum lifted fur from our rugs and couch cushions with ease. It’s definitely made a noticeable difference in our cleaning routine.
Even my husband, who was totally skeptical at first, ended up raving about it after trying it in his office (where our dog spends most of his day). My mom also borrowed it to clean her car and couldn’t believe how much fur, crumbs, and dirt it pulled from tight spaces between seats. Everyone who’s tried it has had the same reaction—“I had no idea all that was even in there!”
The customization is honestly one of my favorite parts. It quickly switches from a stick vacuum to a handheld, and the attachments click on and off effortlessly. The crevice tool is great for tight spots, and the FurFinder brush roll is ideal for pet hair. I used it on baseboards, stairs, furniture—you name it. It made cleaning feel faster and more targeted.
It also maneuvers beautifully, especially around and under low furniture, which is key when you’ve got little ones leaving snacks behind. The brush roll hasn’t tangled once, even after picking up a mix of pet fur and long human hair. And yes—it stands on its own without tipping over, which is such a small but sanity-saving feature when you’re constantly multitasking.
Charging is flexible, too. You can charge via the wall mount, directly into the battery pack, or into the handheld vacuum itself. Plus, the wall mount includes accessory storage that clicks in securely—so you don’t misplace attachments like I used to with other products.
Another big win? The dirt tank and filter are completely washable. That not only makes this vacuum more environmentally friendly, but it also saves money over time since you’re not constantly buying replacements. The dirt tank is easy to empty, and while it takes a bit of alignment to click it back in, it’s a minor detail in an otherwise seamless experience.
And let’s talk design—it’s sleek. This is one of the few vacuums I don’t mind leaving out. It looks modern and unobtrusive, not bulky or industrial.
Overall: This vacuum is absolutely worth it—especially if you’re a pet parent. It’s powerful, thoughtfully designed, and shockingly versatile. From daily touch-ups to deep clean days, it delivers. I’d recommend it to anyone juggling kids, pets, and real-life messes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently unpacked and tested out this stick vacuum, and honestly, was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I picked it up, I noticed how incredibly lightweight it was, making maneuvering around the house an absolute breeze. But the real game-changer for me? The headlights! Seriously, this feature is a revelation. Suddenly, I was seeing a whole new world of dust bunnies, pet hair, and crumbs hiding in plain sight. It actually made me want to keep vacuuming just to see what else I could unearth!
Beyond the illuminating aspect, the suction power is fantastic. It effortlessly tackled pet hair on my hardwood floors, tile, area rugs, and even the carpet in the living room. I was genuinely surprised at how well it picked everything up. Plus, the buttons for power and suction control are intuitively placed and easy to operate with just a touch.
What truly elevated this vacuum for me, though, was the included FurFinder tool. As a pet owner, I'm constantly battling stubborn hair clinging to my upholstered chairs and woven deep into the rugs. This attachment was a lifesaver! It effectively lifted even the most embedded pet hair, leaving these surfaces looking noticeably cleaner. It was particularly helpful for those tricky spots where the regular vacuum head couldn't quite get the job done.
Another huge plus was how quiet this vacuum is. My dog, who usually bolts at the first sign of the vacuum cleaner, barely even twitched. And my one-year-old daughter, who is easily startled, didn't bat an eye. This is a massive win for anyone with sensitive pets or little ones at home.
The only minor drawback I encountered was its bulkier head, which unfortunately meant it couldn't quite squeeze under my entryway table or the bathroom vanity. While this wasn't a dealbreaker for me considering all the other fantastic features, including the incredibly useful FurFinder tool, it's something to keep in mind if you have a lot of low-clearance furniture.
Overall, I highly recommend this stick vacuum. The combination of its lightweight design, powerful suction, the incredible visibility provided by the headlights, user-friendly controls, quiet operation, and the exceptional performance of the FurFinder tool makes it a standout. If you're looking for an efficient and enjoyable way to keep your floors and upholstery clean, especially if you have pets, this one is definitely worth considering!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder has banished the "ugh" from vacuuming in our house! As a mom of a German Shepherd (aka the German Shedder) and three kids under 7 who drop food EVERYWHERE, this vacuum is a lifesaver. Its compact design slides under low furniture, a surprisingly bright light reveals hidden dust and fur, and it's so lightweight even the kids can help! The handheld attachment works great for cleaning the stairs, my couch, and even the car. And the full size vacuum transitions well from carpet to hardwood to tile and floor rugs. It's really the perfect all-in-one vacuum. The hanging attachment also fits nicely in my pantry so I can quickly grab the vacuum after meal time. My floors have never been cleaner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a household bustling with two large dogs and two energetic toddlers, keeping our hardwood floors clean has always been a challenge. Enter the FurFinder Stick Vacuum—truly the best vacuum I've ever used. My favorite part - it operates so quietly that, for the first time, our dogs didn't bark at it—a small miracle in our home. This quiet performance makes cleaning less disruptive, especially during nap times. I enjoyed using it so much my husband asked to use it and he loved it too! My only complaint is that it is a little bit heavier than our most recent stick vacuum, but it makes up for that with the quiet motor and awesome suction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was genuinely impressed with this stick vacuum from the moment I used it. It’s lightweight but powerful, and it performed well across all the surfaces in my home—hardwood, tile, area rugs, and even thicker carpet. It picked up debris easily and transitioned between floor types without a hitch.
The FurFinder tool was a standout. I have two dogs who love the couch more than I do, and this attachment pulled embedded hair out of upholstery I thought was already clean. It definitely made a difference and cut down the time I usually spend lint rolling or hand-vacuuming furniture.
The FurFinder Headlights were surprisingly helpful too. I didn’t think I’d care about them, but they really highlighted hidden dust and pet hair, especially under furniture or in darker corners. I ended up vacuuming more thoroughly just because I could see what I was missing before.
As for usability, this vac is very user-friendly. The self-standing design is a game changer—no more laying it against a wall and hoping it doesn’t crash down. The tangle-free brush roll also lived up to its name. I haven’t had to stop and cut out hair once, which is a big win in my book.
Overall, this stick vac exceeded my expectations and has definitely improved my cleaning routine—especially as a pet owner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried several stick vacuums, including a Shark and a Dyson and this Bissell is the top contender! A huge difference from the Dyson is that you do not have to continuously hold a trigger for the vacuum to run. You just push a power button and there is a plus and minus button if you need more power and the vacuum does its job. The light on the front of the vacuum is a game changer. I could see every crumb and piece of hair with that light. It works great in daylight or with lights on and I oddly even enjoyed vacuuming in the dark because I felt like I could just see every little thing! The vacuum stands up great. Sometimes the stick vacuums are wobbly or don’t seem sturdy and that is not the case with this one. The battery life is long and it charges quickly. I also like how light it is to carry from room to room. My husband even started vacuuming! My young kids can use it! And they also enjoy it! It is easy to use and effective - basically all you could want in a stick vacuum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a vacuum cleaner I would get again.
Here is why: - It is quiet (my daughter didn't even turn up the TV) - It is powerful (and I only use the lowest level) - It sucks up even larger debris (bye bye cereal and annoying onion peals) - It has a light, which really highlights the dust and hair (I didn't realize how dirty my floor were) - It stands by itself (it is well balanced, considering that it is top heavy) - I don't have to hold the button to keep it running - yeah!! - It pulls in dust and hairs, even when not in direct contact and therefore cleans super close to walls and cabinets - It rolls so smooth and quietly over my hardwood floor due to the use of rubber wheels - It fits under my couch (hello - dog toy, I haven't seen you in weeks) - Battery life is awesome: I did the entire downstairs on one charge (=1500sq f) and it was still going - Of course, it uses a battery, so no need to have to deal with a cord and constant unplugging to be able to reach another corner
There are a couple down sides, but they weren't as important to me: - It is heavier than others. However, with the smooth wheels this is not an issue to roll around - Emptying the cylinder is a two-step process (remove the top filter and clean it, then dump the barrel to empty)
Used on hardwood floor, a few runners and dog beds.
