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!

Good for me but great for someone else
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: hawkeyestate
[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.

Absolutely love
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Michelle
[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!

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.

Hi Kels. Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that going cordless has been a game-changer for you — it really does make quick cleanups easier. We hear you on the suction and build quality, and we’re always working to improve both. If you ever want to explore other BISSELL models with more power and durability, we’re happy to help at support.bissell.com.

Really Great Vacuum with Thoughtful Features
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Emma
[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.

Great cordless vacuum
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Sara1187
[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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great tool for a toddler and dog household
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Jenn
[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!
