Best feature is the light
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: nabrumley
[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!

Above and Beyond
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: klew22
[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.

I love it
on May 1, 2025

[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.

GREAT product
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Adlowe
[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!

Great quality product
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Love
[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.

Game changer for pet owners and parents alike
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: jacklyn
[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.

Finally a Vacuum That Gets It All
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: kndutcher
[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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Headlights are a game changer
on May 1, 2025
Posted by: Mmason
[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!
