[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had finally given up on my other brand vacuum which was loud and had pieces falling off. I purchased two Bisselles - one for upstairs and the other for downstairs) because my daughter raved about how she loved hers. My daughter was right! The machine is quiet, easy to use (the swivel is a delight), and picked up more dirt than the other would ever have. I'm impressed and wished I had purchased Bissell sooner! They are amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a gift to my daughter, here is what she had to say... OMG that vacuum is awesome!! thank you, oh and I learned how to unassembled it right away, as one of the cats cotton ball toy, got sucked up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only complaint I have about this vacuum is the size of the canister. Having 2 dogs and 2 cats the canister fills up rather quickly. I had 2 Dyson animal vacuums prior to this vacuum, I decided not to buy another Dyson because I think they went cheap. My original Dyson is I think 20 years old and the replacement is half that and junk compared to my first one. The original still works but getting tired, the newer one is already in the trash so I wanted to give Bissell a try. I've only had it a week and it seems to work very well except the canister is too small.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can't turn off the main brush, so if your using just the hose and any extension tools, the main brush is still running and will wear out the belt quicker, or get caught up i something. We've been through 4 belts in 2 years because of this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a good vacuum. I was very pleased with the suction (for both carpet and hard floors) and the attachment options. I absolutely love the cord rewind feature, but I think the button for the rewind should be closer to the actual cord. The amount of push buttons (power, cord rewind, and tilt) are all too close to each other. I would hit cord rewind when I meant to tilt the vacuum. My other concern about this vacuum is the weight of the base especially since I was carrying it to different levels of my home. I found the bottom to be bulky, heavy and difficult to navigate into tight spaces. It was easy to empty the canister and I also loved how easy it was to release the wand and use the different attachments. Love the clear canister and seeing the progress on cleaning. Overall a good vacuum if you have pets and do not have to carry it up or down stairs. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My house feels like it is constant chaos- we have 6 kiddos, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. Messes are plentiful here, but we always want our house to look it's best. Due to this, I am always on the hunt for an efficient cleaning appliance, which is what I have found here in the CleanView Swivel Rewind Pet Vacuum. This vacuum did an absolutely amazing job on multiple different flooring surfaces. I have used it on vinyl, hardwood floors, plush rugs, and not so plush rugs. The rugs gave it a bit of a challenge (especially my large Ruggable rug), but it still was able to do a fantastic job as long as I kept it moving, didn't stay in one spot too long, and changed the terrain setting to it's lowest suction mode. This thing sucked up pet hair with no problems, as well as crumbs from snacks and little messes. The removable wand accessory was easy to access and fit great under my kitchen table benches, under my couch, and in the crevices by my fridge, dishwasher, and entertainment center. It also did a fantastic job vacuuming up messes under the couch cushions, and due to it being so easy, quickly became my daughter's weekly chore. Clean up after using this vacuum is also a breeze. The canister is easy to empty, the filters are easy to take apart and clean (although I did have quite a fun time figuring out how to put it back together after my husband took it apart- it wasn't too difficult, but I definitely recommend having the same person re-assemble if they dis-assembled), and best of all there is a button that automatically pulls the cord back into place. I was nervous at first that it would lead to the cord whipping about (flashbacks to my childhood when the cord retractors were apparently a bit too strong), but it just pulled it in nice and gentle. My kids no longer have an excuse for not winding the vacuum up before putting it away! Overall, this vacuum is a solid 9/10, especially for this price point. I received it as a member of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the CleanView Swivel Rewind Pet Upright Vacuum as part of the Stellar Testing Panel. The suction is so powerful and pulls out dirt that I didn't even realize was there. It swivels and turns great making it easy to maneuver. My favorite tool is the Active Extension Wand with the TurboEraser pet tool. I used this combination on my carpeted stairs and was completely shocked how great it did at removing dirt and dog hair. We had professional cleaners at our home a few days prior so I didn't expect much dirt, but I was wrong. I wish they had used this vacuum for our stairs! The cord rewind was not a feature I anticipated wanting or needing because that feature can easily malfunction. But now that I've used the Automatic Cord Rewind on this Bissell vacuum, I want a cord rewind on all corded appliances. It was easy to control and worked as expected. The XL Easy Empty Dirt Tank meant I could clean for a longer stretch before needing to empty the tank. It was very easy to empty. I wish the cord was slightly longer, but the cord still gives me plenty of flexibility and maneuverability in my home. I also found the vacuum to be slightly heavy but I think this is because I had been used to using a stick vacuum versus an upright. However, this Bissell CleanView Swivel Rewind Pet Upright Vacuum has changed my thoughts on using only a stick vacuum. I believe I will be reaching for this vacuum first especially because the Active Extension Wand allows me to reach all areas I used to get with the stick vacuum, but this Bissell vacuum was able to give the areas a true deep clean.
