[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the CleanView Max Tangle-Free Rewind for approximately a week now, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The vacuum has a modern and sleek appearance that complements my home decor seamlessly. Its design is well-thought-out and exudes a sense of sophistication from top to bottom. Every aspect of its assembly is intuitive, from the connection of the hose to the wand to the convenient quick disconnects and attachments. The expandable hose simplifies the task of cleaning furniture and corners effortlessly.
Considering its price point, the value it offers is truly unbeatable. The automatic cord retraction feature is particularly noteworthy for its smooth and safe operation, eliminating any risk of the cord flailing around. The foot lever adds a great deal of convenience, especially during impromptu cleanups or when navigating through my 2,000 square foot residence.
Surprisingly, the headlights have proven to be quite handy. They enhance visibility under beds and furniture, aiding in locating small toys left behind by my toddler and swiftly identifying dust and pet hair in dimly lit corners.
Among its features, the large transparent dust bin stands out as my favorite. Its transparency allows for easy monitoring of the collected debris, which is particularly useful in case something valuable accidentally gets vacuumed. The bin is straightforward to empty and clean, even after picking up food or pet hair.
With two dogs and a toddler in a predominantly tiled living space, this vacuum has effectively managed all cleaning tasks thrown its way. It strikes a perfect balance between style, power, and considerate design. Undoubtedly, it has proven to be a worthwhile investment.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone with a toddler, we use a vacuum very frequently and we loved this one! The light helped us find crumbs even in the darkest corners. As someone who used to have a vacuum with an automatic cord rewind and then moved to one that didn’t, it was nice to go back to the automatic cord. It just makes the process quicker and no risk of the cord getting tangled! I feel like for the price range, this is an awesome option for a vacuum. I felt like it was easy to navigate and works as well as some in much higher price points. My favorite feature is how well it picked up and handled my long hair without getting knotted!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this vacuum so badly but I just don’t. Some things I really enjoyed were the attachments, they work well at getting dog hair off upholstery but did struggle when it came to more coarse fabrics which is typical. I like that the vacuum is lighter than most corded vacuums. The headlights made it easy to see the dirt and hair that I hadn’t gotten up yet. The filter is easy to install and uninstall and it’s easy to dump the canister once you are done cleaning. I didn’t feel like this vacuum was anything special in regards to suction and performed similarly to other corded vacuums in my opinion. The bristles did get some hair in them but with three double coated dogs and hair down to my belly button, I’ve yet to meet a vacuum that doesn’t. My biggest issue is the “retractable” cord. It does retract but very slowly, stops so you have to push it in to get in going again, and doesn’t retract completely so I have to push the cord in a bit at the end. The retractable part does feel cheaper than on other vacuums and feels like it will break easily. Maybe the one I received is faulty but if bissell fixed that issue on the vacuum it would be amazing!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the CleanView® Max Tangle-Free Rewind Vacuum. We're glad you liked the attachments and lightweight design, but we're sorry the retractable cord didn’t perform as expected. It may be a faulty part, and we’d love to help make it right. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com so we can assist further.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many things to love about this vacuum, but my favorite are the HEADLIGHTS!! As a stay-at-home mom of two little boys and two shedding dogs, I was absolutely horrified when I turned the vacuum on and immediately saw alllllll the hair and dirt. I promptly turned off the house lights and was even more horrified at what I saw with those little headlights. I vacuumed like I’ve never vacuumed before! I also enjoyed the retractable cord which made it so easy to put away when I was done without cords wrapped every which way around the vacuum. I was impressed with how much this vacuum sucked up and even followed my robot vacuum around for awhile to see how much extra I could suck up. Easy push buttons to release the dirt into the trash is always a plus for me. I was able to get under furniture a few inches but not all the way and the bottom is quite boxy and didn’t get into as many nooks and crannies as I’d have liked. That being said, it’s a great little machine with two of my favorite features - headlights and retractable cord which made this vacuum so great. Once again, Bissell nails it for pet owners and parents.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a household with 4 cats, 3 dogs, and 3 boys, so we need a vacuum that can keep up with a lot of messes. We decided on the CleanView Max Tangle-Free Rewind after our previous vacuum was starting to not work as well as it should. The colors on this vacuum are great, the light blue with black is a really nice color combo. The weight of it is good, even for vacuuming my stairs as some vacuums are just so heavy and awkward. The headlights are one of the best parts on this as our previous older model did not have headlights and was my biggest regret on it, you just can't see the dirt and dust without out. It will amaze you what you may have not been able to see and missed cleaning under without headlights! The attachments hook on the sides and seem to hold on very well. The cord length is good and the automatic cord rewind feature is one of my favorite things about this vacuum as I hated having to wind up the cord every time when done cleaning and it makes me more likely to grab it for quick messes since it is easier to put up now. The suction is great and I was truly amazed how much it pulled out of our carpets even though I had recently vacuumed with our old vacuum. It works great on hard wood floors as well with just the change of the knob for the suction height. The wand is great for cleaning up high as I finally easily cleaned some high ceiling corners that I had struggled to reach before. I do wish the wand hand a light on it as well but most vacuums do not these days for some reason. It is easy to dump the mess away with the canister and I was amazed at how much dirt it could hold. Overall, this is a great vacuum and a great value! I love this vacuum!! I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum! We have cleaners who come every other week (and have fancy professional vacuums), but with two kids under 5 and two small dogs, I still occasionally need to sweep. While I don't clean constantly, when I need to clean, I NEED IT TO WORK. Our first floor has a mix of hardwood, marble, carpet, and rugs.
This vacuum does an incredible job for its' price point. I LOVE the automatic cord rewind feature. Usually when I vacuum, winding the cord takes me longer than the actual vacuuming. If I could move the cord rewind button to where the cord actually is, I think it would be more intuitive for my husband. He will likely ask me where the cord rewind button is every time he uses it. He doesn't vacuum often, so this is not a deal breaker for me. The suction power is really high - we have a mid pile carpet in our primary bedroom and I actually had to dial the pile setting to high because of how strong it was! I vacuumed our welcome mat, which our professional cleaners also do, and I was SHOCKED at how much came up. Our other corded vacuum at a similar price point does not suck up ANYTHING off our welcome mat, so this was the biggest surprise for me. This vacuum did a great job grabbing autumn leaves off our marble entry way floor, and sucking up loose fibers from our annoying wool rug in our living room. I had to empty the canister after this because of how great of a job it did. Emptying the canister took approximately 5 seconds, and was super intuitive due to the smart placement of the release button.
The headlights are not a feature I have had on a vacuum before. These were actually very helpful in our dining room under the chairs, where my kids drop crumbs regularly. Our rug is dark so crumbs can be hard to see, but the headlights illuminated all of the disgusting things my kids left behind. 90% of our mess happens in our dining room, and the Turbo Eraser attachment did a stellar job grabbing leftover crumbs off of our chairs, and is probably my second favorite feature after the auto cord winder. The on board attachment holder will help us keep track of this handy little tool. The wand itself is also very intuitive and easy to remove from the vacuum body.
At this price point it would be VERY difficult to find a better vacuum that solves my needs. I LOVE this vacuum!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have many different types of cleaning equipment and the cords are always a hassle. When I saw the CleanView Max had a retractable cord I was so excited to try it! The cord does not disappoint, it goes back in the machine super nice and makes putting it away a breeze. I wish this technology was available on more machines. The machine itself does a great job on carpeted surfaces. The canister is large and filled quickly with dust, debris and the hair of my two cats! However, the machine is pretty loud when in use. I assume it’s due to its powerful suction. You do just have to make sure you are selecting the right surface type located on the base. I tested a glitter spill on a hard surface and it did well but I felt carpet was where it really stood out with its suction. I also used it to vacuum hair/dust off my fan and the wand was just average. I had to repeatedly go over some areas and the rollers on the base stayed running for some reason. Another cool feature is the bright headlights. It helps when going under the beds! This machine could be perfect if it was just a little quieter and it’s suction was consistent across all the flooring types
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three pets that ALL SHED — and if you know the struggle of constant fur tumbleweeds, you’ll understand why I’m so hyped with this vacuum! The design is solid without feeling too heavy, and for the price, I think it’s a good value. It feels like it’s built to last.
The automatic cord rewind feature is such a small thing that makes a big difference. I love being able to clean up a quick mess and just press a button to retract the cord — no more wrapping it around hooks every single time.
The headlights are another feature I didn’t realize I needed. They make it so much easier to see pet hair under furniture and in dark corners. It’s kind of gross how much shows up once the light hits it, but also really satisfying to see it all get cleaned up!
As for pet hair performance, this vacuum is a champ. It picks up fur from both my carpets and hard floors with no problem, and it doesn’t get tangled easily. My rugs actually look clean again — which is saying something when you live with kids and pets lol!
My favorite feature overall is how easy it is to maneuver. It glides around furniture, has attachments for under low spots, and transitions from tile to carpet. Cleaning up after my crazy family doesn’t feel like such a HUGE chore anymore, and honestly, that’s worth every penny.
