Great but not the best
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Kels
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used several stick vacuum cleaners, and this one ranks among the top with a few features that make it shine, and a few that make me wish I had something else.
Its cordless. It’s my first cordless stick vacuum and it makes it so easy to use. I may never go back to corded. HOWEVER - I will say the power and suction is only about 80% of what I’ve experienced with corded vacuums, so the full strength isn’t there.
Rubber brush. It is so nice that it doesn’t get clogged with hair or big junk like a bristle brush does. However, it does lose some of its grabbing power. While it grabs pet hair really well, I noticed it didn’t grab everything else as well as a bristle brush.
Charge time - it’s ok. I wish I could use it a few times before charging, but I plug it in every time after I use it.
Plastic parts and cleaning. The plastic parts feel cheap, and I’m worried that the dust cup piece that clips into it will break easily. All the other parts are lightweight which is nice, but don’t feel sturdy like other stick vacs.
Overall, I’m pleased with the portability and ease of use being cordless. I wouldn’t purchase it again, and would look for a better model with sturdier construction and more power.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been such an amazing product to use over the last few weeks. We have a baby and a cat who sheds like crazy and this has been so nice to do a quick clean up. The engine is very powerful and does a wonderful job getting the fur up and out of carpet. It also is very easy to maneuver and works well on tile and laminate flooring too. We mounted this right near our cats area and have used it almost daily to get litter and fur, the headlights are so helpful for finding areas we have previously missed.
I love some of the features such as the brush roll and free standing feature. The only feedback that I have is that the wall mount is oversized and can be difficult to find a spot in small spaces to mount. The large mount might be necessary for the design though since it is a free standing feature. Absolutely obsessed with this vacuum and so grateful to have it to keep our home tidier!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good for me but great for someone else
on May 1, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this vacuum almost every other day for the last month or so, and I feel like I'm in a perfect position to evaluate it in depth. Not to mention, I have 3 other vacuums in rotation, so I guess I've reached the stage of adulthood where I feel like a vacuum connoisseur.
It's a solid 3-star vacuum for me, and here's why:
THE PROS:
- I love the light function on the standing vacuum. I mean it's very humbling because I can appreciate the mountain of crumbs on the floor that I can't see in daylight, but it also makes it easier to target clumps of dog/human hair as I vacuum, especially under furniture.
- The emptying process is amazing. The hair gets separated from the rest of the debris (perfect for picking out stray LEGO pieces before they end up in the trash) and the wad of wrapped hair is so satisfying and alarming to dump out.
- The standing vacuum is impressively lightweight, which makes it easy to navigate across my house.

THE CONS:
- The power leaves a lot to be desired. If I were just vacuuming dog hair, I could probably get away with using it at the level 2 power, but with two toddlers and as many crumbs as strands of dog hair, I needed to exclusively vacuum at the level 3 function. Even still, this highest setting was still pretty weak in comparison to my other handheld battery-charged vacuum. It also meant that I ran through the charged battery pretty quickly. The one time I tried to vacuum my whole bottom floor with this vacuum, I think I made it halfway before the battery was drained. It's not feasible for me to have to spend 2 hours recharging the battery and then come back and finish the job. If I had no kids and two golden retrievers, say, and my crumbs-to-hair ratio was a bit more on the hair side, it would matter less, but as it stands, it's more functional as a "touch up" sort of vacuum versus a heavy lifter.
- I like the handheld setup, but it's pretty heavy. It also is impossible, at least on my particular one, to keep the brush from falling down, which means if I'm trying to vacuum up something yucky, the brush is going to get yucky as well. Even though it seems like I should be able to push the brush up to just use the little nozzle part to suck stuff up, it won't stay up and I end up having to use the brush. It's not a huge inconvenience, but it's definitely a little one. It's also a little annoying that I have to go and switch out my handheld piece somewhere else versus having it attached to my main vacuum. I mean I get it from a weight standpoint—it's way lighter without the handheld piece attached to the main vacuum—but it's annoying when I'm trying to move back and forth between the two different functions.

Anyways, like I said, there's a lot to like about this vacuum. It's lightweight, it has a nice light, and it gets the job done for small tasks. It's definitely a frequent presence in my kitchen and dining room now after mealtimes. But my dogs shed but not a crazy amount, and crumbs far outweigh hair on a daily basis, so it's not practical enough with the battery life and power to really be a "one size fits all" vacuum for me.

Powerful and easy to use
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Kaleigh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder vacuum. It transitions smoothly between hardwood floors and deep pile carpet, delivering excellent cleaning performance on both. I especially appreciated the adjustable power setting for carpets—it made a noticeable difference. The FurFinder tool was fantastic for removing pet hair from the crevices of couch cushions. As someone with long hair, I also love the tangle-free brush roll, which really helps prevent clogs. The built-in headlights were an unexpected bonus that turned out to be incredibly useful. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, this vacuum is also surprisingly quiet on all surfaces.

Great on hardwood and area rugs
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Ariel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With three cats in a small house things can get pretty furry, especially since many of my friends also bring their dogs over when they visit. This vacuum has a lot of pros and very few cons. I’ve always belonged to a household that has one of those high end and very expensive name brand stick vacuums and honestly this Bissel FurFinder out preformed it on hardwood. It picked up fur and debris (including cat litter) with ease! While the suction isn’t as powerful as my original vacuum making deep cleans of high pile carpet unlikely, it is still great for area rugs and really does remove shed fur.
The attachments were also fantastic for removing fur from my couch and carpeted steps. The headlights were very useful on hardwood for finding debris but less useful on carpet. I really liked the self standing design and love how easy it is to empty the waste canister! Overall this is a great product that I am so happy to have added to my household!

Excellent at Cleaning Pet Hair
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Brig
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder has been a game changer in our house! We have a dog who sheds constantly, along with two young boys who are always making crumbs. This stick vacuum finds all the crumbs and dog hair. And because it’s so lightweight and easy to use, I can use it multiple times a day if I need to.
The lights on the front of the stick vacuum illuminate all of the pet hair, making it easy to make sure you don’t miss a spot while vacuuming. The dust bin is incredibly easy to empty. The vacuum has a good battery life. I used it one day to vacuum 2 floors of my home and it didn’t lose power. But by far my favorite feature is FurFinder attachment tool for upholstery. It found so much embedded hair in our couch (which I do vacuum often) that I was amazed! It has to be the best thing I’ve ever used to get pet hair off of the couch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Admirable Contender in the World of Vacuums
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: RtNani
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know how it is, our beloved fur babies hair are invisible until you get up from the couch and your pants have taken on the roll of a lint finder as you carry around a ton of dog hair from one spot to another. Enter the FurFinder: let's break down the pros and cons
Pros:
-Easily maneuverable: whether you are turning a tight corner or narrowly navigating around pet beds, kids magnatile masterpieces, or on various mediums of surfaces, the FurFinder does this with ease! My home is a medley of hardwood floors, multiple mediums of rugs and carpet and, and 2 different types of tile. The turn power of the stick is lovely but what's even better is the ability to take the bumps and run over hardwood to tile, tile to rug, rug to hardwood and so on! No more smashing, snagging, lifting, (or muttering curses)!
-The light on the head is soooo useful! I love sliding the vacuum under the edge of the couch or under the dining table, random chairs, inside the darkened closets and using that light to see where I'm cleaning and what I'm cleaning!
-Stands on it's own- let's not overlook this convenience of the fact that the FurFinder can stand on it's own, does not require fancy wall attachment gadgets to be stored, will not fall out of the storage closet with parts and hose bouncing in all directions (the kids toys do this enough, thank you very much)
-Cleaning is a breeze on hardwood and tile and rug/carpet surfaces, I can see the dust/fur/dander picked up and collected. And while it's a bit embarrassing how much I'm seeing get pulled into the vacuum, it's so satisfying at the same time!

Cons:
-Power is decent but my fur babies have small sharp fur that will weave it's way into the couch or soft surfaces/flooring and you do need to run over these sections multiple times to get the stubborn bits!
-Battery length is short lived: by context using full power on the surfaces I have is an average of two 30 min sessions at max power before I need to juice up, so I do feel I need to keep this constantly plugged in. Maybe if I play around with the power settings it could last longer but this has been my experience thus far
-Removing and dumping the accumulated trash was initially hard to do and I recommend you do it over the trash can to avoid accidents. It just sticks a bit and requires some jiggling and effort to pull out to dump.

Overall this is a 4 out of 5 stars for me and I'm the pros def outweigh the cons. I'm a big fan of the results of the FurFinder. My child has seasonal allergies and dust allergies and since we are well into spring we've def noticed less allergy episodes which we are crediting the work of the FurFinder. We will certainly continue to use it!

super versatile cleaning machine
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: sonoramama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by the Bissell PowerClean stick vaccuum and it is now in my regular rotation of tools I use to clean my home, replacing another popular stick vaccuum brand! It has a lot of power and I haven't had to worry about it running out of battery when using it to vaccuum my 4 bedrooms and the common spaces. I really like the different attachments, and I could even use one of the brush attachments to power-dust the grooves in my crown molding and baseboards with its long extender and its soft bristles!! I've never come across another type of attachment that could do such a good job. And compared to another brand's model that requires you to hold a button to keep the vaccuum on and engaged, I appreciated that the Bissell had a one-touch on/off switch that freed me up to more easily maneuver the vaccuum into different spaces or height levels. The only area of improvement may be in the dustbin removal process, which requires the exact fitting of several pieces/attachments in order to put back together. Given I've used my vaccuum quite a bit, that can make for a messy process.
I would recommend this to a friend!
