Awesome vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not getting my hopes up much when I got this vacuum because I have tried so many in the past that have disappointed. But I am obsessed with this one now. It's the one I always reach for. My dog doesn't shed much but my daughter's doll hair is ALL OVER THE PLACE. This vacuum actually sucks it up without any problem at all...AND it somehow doesn't get caught up in the roller part which is truly incredible. I love how easy it is to charge the vacuum, how easy it is to switch attachments as I'm going (from couch cushions to rug to hardwoods), and how well it cleans. My only complaint is somewhat of a compliment, too. The headlights are such a smart concept but also are almost too illuminating. They reveal every little piece of dust and so my type-A self gets frustrated when I can't get a hardwood floor perfectly dust free...even though without the light it looks fantastically clean haha. I will also say that while it is technically self-standing, mine topples over a good bit. A very small price to pay for no more doll hair everywhere I look!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissel PowerClean FurFinder goes above and beyond! I have two small kids and a white German Shepherd puppy that seems to be shedding year round. I cannot say enough about the brilliance of adding the FurFinder Headlights to the design. I simply didn't realize how much hair I was missing because we have light colored laminate flooring. With the headlights, it's easy to find all of the fur. The stick vac picks up on the first pass as well (which is a huge plus!). I've used it on the laminate, carpet, and rug and because it has easy control settings (low, medium, high), it's really easy to find the setting that works best for any flooring. Between the kids and the dog, this thing is at least half full every time I run it, so I also appreciate the easy empty canister. I have even used the supporting attachments to clean our patio furniture. It does a great job of getting all those white dog hairs off of my navy blue patio set. Lastly, it's easy to maneuver into challenging areas (underneath the dining table and between the chairs) and I love the self-standing design because I'm pretty consistently interrupted by my kiddos so can easily pause, stand it up and take care of business.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start with we have a ridiculously fluffy Persian / Himalayan long-haired cat that sheds the equivalent to 5 cats. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is officially shedding season and the Bissell Powerclean FurFinder vacuum arrived at the perfect time. After using the stick vacuum for a few weeks, I’ve been consistently pleased with its ability to capture the “tumbleweeds” of fur that collect and pick up the litter across our wood floors and tile. I liked that it doesn’t blow things around as much as other vacuums and holds a decent amount of dust, dirt, and hair in the tank. The best feature is hands down the bright headlight, but the lightweight size, HEPA filter, and ability to easily clean the dirt tank are a nice bonus. The run time depends on which battery power level you select out of the 3 options ranging from low / medium / high, but I have been able to get most of my house (~3,000 square feet) swept on one charge on the lowest setting once or twice. It would be a perfect vacuum for a smaller home, but it’s nice for quick cleans in a larger home as well. There is less hair wrap in the brush roll, and the accessories store nicely in the wall mount. It does not do well picking up debris when pulling the vacuum toward you instead of pushing it away, but that’s typical for most vacuums. I tried using the crevice tool and brush on my car upholstery and gave up almost immediately because it was bulky and hardly picked up the mess. Another drawback is that the vacuum sound / noise is loud enough that it really frightens the cat anytime I use it - he was fine with our previous vacuum. One improvement I would strongly recommend is the ability to turn the brush head off so I can vacuum my textured rugs without damaging them. Overall, it’s a decent stick vacuum with good suction and tools on floors – the light is a game changer for illuminating hidden hair and dirt to battle the endless amount of debris that accumulates every couple days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a great tool to have in a house with a toddler and a dog. I use it almost daily, cleaning up dog bone crumbs, hair, or the mess from meal times. The attachments for upholstery and fur are great for cleaning our couches after our dog has laid on them. I love the cordless feature, and how easy it is to just hang back up when done. Thank you to Stellar for giving me the opportunity to review this product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first cordless vacuum and I am impressed. It works great on both carpet and hardwood. I really like the headlights, especially for hardwood, to better see what needed cleaning. The FurFinder tool is a nice addition though not something I need to use on an everyday basis. It did pull up more hair and dirt than a normal setting.
Overall this vacuum is really easy to use and effective. I like how it is lightweight and comes with a wall hanging option. We have started vacuuming more because it is so easy to pull this vac out for a quick sweep. My only complaint is the battery life but since I've never used a cordless vac before, this might be the norm.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder vacuum is a really great product for households with pets! We have a large dog that we nicknamed the Dutch Shedder because all he does is lay around and leave his hair everywhere. We had a mini robot vacuum we were using every single day before we got the Bissell and even though the Bissell doesn’t automatically start vacuuming, I now prefer it because it is lightweight, cordless and PICKS UP ALL THE HAIR!
The box it came in was small and lightweight and at first, I didn’t think it was good quality because it was so light but it’s held up really well. Even my toddler loves to “help me vacuum” and he had dropped it a few times and it’s all stayed together with no issues.
The suction itself has 3 levels. I found that the top level doesn’t do well on my washable rugs that I have as it is almost too powerful and pulls the rug from its base.
The lights on the front highlight the pet hair and small particles really well, even during daylight. The one thing I wish it did have was another light when you detached the base and want to just use the stick portion for the corners and crevices of your house. The lights are only on the main base.
I’ve never had a cordless vacuum before and this one comes with a base you can hang on the wall and charge! The base also holds all the other attachments for easy storage.
It works great on carpet! We have a medium length carpet and I was SHOCKED at how much dog hair was in the chamber after I ran it through my son’s room. I even did a little experiment and had our small robot vacuum run in his room first and then I went in after with the Bissell and the chamber ended up STILL FULL on the Bissell.
The charge would let me vacuum my whole house (1200sqft) but it would die if I used the highest suction power for longer than a couple minutes and I would need to wait for it to charge to vacuum again.
It took about 30 minutes to charge fully again so it has a quick turn around!
It’s free standing which was a game changer for me because our other larger stick vacuum was not and it was MUCH heavier so I had to lean all the way down to put it on the floor in between vacuuming to move things where as the Bissell just stands on its own! No more back breaking! 👏🏼
Overall, I would highly recommend this vacuum, especially for people with carpet and pets!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd like to start with admitting to the group I am a total clean freak. But with a toddler and a shed-happy dog running around, I've had to, er, sacrifice here and there on having a spotless house. Enter the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder!
This stick vacuum has totally made my cleaning routine so much easier. The built-in headlights (which to be honest I originally thought may be gimmicky) are surprisingly useful—being able to actually see the dust, fur, and crumbs makes a huge difference, especially under furniture or along the baseboards. The fact that it stands up on its own is a total win for me. As a parent, I’m often pulled away mid-vacuuming from someone knocking something over or reaching for something they shouldn't be (see: husband, dog OR child) and not having to worry about it tipping over while I handle the chaos is a big relief! My old stick vacuum would require me to prop it up carefully against a corner before making my exit. Not anymore! I love that it is for use on both hardwoods and carpets, and seems to do a fantastic job at cleaning both.
It does come with several attachments which makes it super versatile for everything from floors to furniture. I just spent an entire afternoon using the finer detailing attachments to deep clean under my couch cushions and let me just say headlights under those? Terrifying! Yet, soooo satisfying to clean. I found that it was very effective at pulling most (but not all) of the pet hair embedded underneath. The dust bin is easy to remove and empty, which is great for managing my allergies.
The only downsides I’ve noticed: the suction isn’t quite as powerful as some older models I’ve used but I would say it definitely still gets the job done. I also wonder if I may just notice more dust now left behind with the headlights so it could be a placebo effect! Lastly, the power adjustment button could be more user-friendly compared to my older vacuum. Since it's the same button for both higher and lower settings, you have to keep pressing it to cycle through. Not a dealbreaker, just a little annoying.
Overall, it's a well-designed and super effective vacuum that fits right into my messy life! I highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is simply amazing. I have a toddler at home, so we need to clean up messes DAILY, sometimes three times a day! This stick vac has made my life so much easier. It is easy to use, lightweight, and performs on various surfaces. It cleans up hair quickly and with ease! It made a noticeable difference in my cleaning routine right away. My favorite feature is the headlights; they help see items that you may not catch with your eyes! It's easy to get in difficult spots with the lights as well. This vac is super easy to use. I love that includes the accessories. It chargers quickly too! The tangle free brush roll is a great feature as well, no hair really gets stuck, its great! It's easy to empty as well! Highly recommended!
