A great stick vacuum
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: TaraT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a cordless stick vacuum from another big brand, and it was nice to see how much better certain aspects of the Bissell vacuum there were. I love that it has a self standing design, my other vacuum often falls over, which is incredibly inconvenient. The vacuum did a great job handling everyday messes. We used it to vacuum up after my husband cut his hair and it did a great job getting all the fine hairs all over the bathroom. The light on the vacuum is also a great feature and helps you to see any small debris that you might otherwise miss. I also love the debris canister, it is so easy to empty and clean out. My other cordless vacuum has a debris canister that is a bit difficult to clean out and I feel like I can never truly get it clean. With this one, I remove it from the vacuum and can take the pieces apart to wipe them down. Overall, this vacuum is great! It does a great job being able to clean up messes both big and small, it's lightweight and easy to use on the stairs, and it's easy to clean the debris canister. Another great product from Bissell!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best vacuum I have ever used
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: MStein792
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with this vacuum so far. As a dog owner, pet hair is always my biggest cleaning challenge, and this vacuum handles it amazingly well. It picks up everything from fine dust and crumbs to larger debris like kibble and tracked-in dirt without any trouble. I especially noticed how well it grabs dog hair from floors and rugs without leaving anything behind.
The AutoAdapt technology is one of my favorite features. I love that it automatically increases the suction when it detects more dirt or debris, so you don’t have to keep adjusting settings yourself. It really feels like the vacuum is doing the thinking for you, kicking in extra power right when it’s needed. Technology like this helps optimize cleaning performance and efficiency by adjusting suction based on debris levels.
The self-standing design is another feature I didn’t realize I would appreciate so much until I used it. Being able to pause mid-clean without leaning the vacuum against a wall or laying it down is incredibly convenient. It makes quick cleanups much easier and keeps everything organized while you’re cleaning. Self-standing stick vacuums are designed specifically for this kind of convenience and ease of storage.
Overall, I think this vacuum offers great value compared to other stick vacuums I’ve tried. It’s lightweight, powerful, and packed with smart features that make everyday cleaning easier. Many stick vacuums are designed for quick, everyday messes and easy maneuverability, and this one definitely delivers on that promise. Between the strong suction, smart technology, and thoughtful design, it feels like a really solid upgrade.
If you have pets like I do, this vacuum is a great choice.

Impressive Power Useful Attachments
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: NYCmom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment I turned the vacuum on I realized this machine was powerful! After just a couple of uses the dirt tank was full of dust, hair and debris. I've used competitor products before and the power of the Bissell PowerClean DualBrush holds up against the rest. It's impressive on both hardwood and low carpets, with multiple levels of power to pick up dirt of all sizes.
One nifty upgrade compared to other vacuums is the Bissell's ability to stand on its own. There's no need to lean it against a wall and hoping it doesn't come crashing down. With a solid base it effortlessly stands on its own.
The light on the front of the vacuum illuminates what's in front of the machine. It's great being able to see how messy the house is with the light, and after a few passes, how suddenly those specs of dirt are gone.
The attachments are really nice as well. The upholstery tool worked well on our couch and includes the same front-facing lights that are found on the main vacuum. The smaller brush was great for hard to reach corners and low areas of our kitchen.
Overall I'm impressed with the vacuum. Its only flaw is that it's heavier than its competitors. The design isn't as sleek and as a unit feels a bit clunkier than others out there, but its power certainly is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Convenient features
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: Sam01
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Bissell PowerClean DualBrush for about 3 weeks now. I also own the Bissell PowerClean FurGuard, which is very similar to the DualBrush. I've owned the FurGuard for about a year. The Dual Brush has a larger head with two brushes along with the auto sensor when it detects it needs more power to pick up messes. Otherwise they are very similar. The DualBrush works for everything I need it to, just like the FurGuard model. I just had new LVP floors installed the same week I received this. My house only has LVP and tile, along with some area rugs so I can't speak to how it performs on carpeted areas. I have two dogs and a toddler so my house gets dirty quickly. My long-haired dog sheds tufts of fur that roll around the house, but this vacuum has no issues sucking them up.
My favorite features so far are the illumination lights, its ability to stand upright by itself, and the foot-activated head release on the vacuum. The lights on the front is a must have feature on every vaccum and I love the way the leds are all along the front of this one. They illuminate every hair and dirt piece so you can actually see your floors getting clean and not miss dog hair in a corner. The ability to stand by itself is a feature that I didn't know I needed. I can just leave it while I move something out of the way without propping it up on something. It will fall over if you bump it of course, so you just have to be careful. My prior stick vacuum lacked this ability and it was annoying to bend over to grab the vacuum off whatever I propped it on. The ability to remove the bottom head with your foot on the lever is very convenient, and not having to reach down to remove the head brush is nice. I can quickly use the main pole for small areas, then easily reattach the larger head without needing another attachment or bending over.
For the rest of the features, the canister is large enough that you don't have to empty it every time, depending on the mess. Hair does not get stuck in the brush heads. The included attachments are exactly what you need, and they all fit on the wall charger. Suction power is sufficient on the lower setting for most messes and it activates AutoAdapt for larger ones, which I enjoyed. You can also turn it on high power, but that drains the battery too quickly for most messes. My only complaint is that I wish the battery lasted a little longer but it is sufficient for my first floor on high power.
Overall, I use this vacuum daily and would recommend it. It's light, convenient, easy to use, and sucks up all the dirt and hair in my house. The vacuum offers great value, especially when compared to other expensive stick vacuums with fewer features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well for surface level spot cleaning
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: BusyMommy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How refreshing to unbox a vacuum securely packaged in biodegradable cardboard that even doubled as a toy cat box, sans styrofoam!
This Bissell PowerClean DualBrush stick vacuum comes with a detachable and rechargeable battery, extension wand, the motorized foot, and charger. The size and weight is appropriate for the limited job it can complete and the ergonomically designed handle was comfortable to hold. I appreciated the lower noise level which was synonymous with its lower power capabilities. It also includes the accessories: FurFinder Tool, 2-in-1 dusting brush, and a wall mount. I love how lightweight it is and the incredibly bright light motorized foot casts which illuminates everything you do (and don't) want to see on your floor! It can take up to 3 hours to fully recharge if you completely drain the battery.
This vacuum can either run on AutoAdapt mode (which I don't recommend due to lack of suction) or be manually adjusted between the Eco and Turbo modes. The eco mode was unreliable and only picked up loose pet hair and loosely laid dirt/dust. I can not see this mode thoroughly cleaning any mess in our home with three kiddos and pets as I needed to redo the same areas I had used Eco mode on slowly, multiple times just to have it moderately clean and I just don't have that kind of extra time in this season of life. Turbo mode did a relatively decent job, however, it would only work for up to 12 minutes when fully charged. This limited amount of time would suffice for a limited high-traffic area, but does absolutely not work when I need to vacuum 1200ft² of laminate and 400ft² of tile, not including the fabric couches, baseboards, window sills, etc.
Initially I was worried about the size of the dirt tank being so small... But after seeing how short the battery life is when ran on Turbo for a more thorough job and how lightweight the vacuum is, I understand why. This vacuum does require more maintenance than other vacuums we've owned. It's easy to remove and replace the dirt tank, however, the separator in the top of the tank does not seal well and gets hair and dirt trapped along the sides. There is a dust sensor lens behind the dirt tank that needs to be inspected and cleaned frequently, requiring more time. Before changing out the motorized foot (there's a flimsy foot lever to release it) for any accessories, or vice-versa, the vacuum must be powered off. The foam pre-motor filter was easy enough to clean, but also flimsy and slightly loose fitting so I can see needing to replace it sooner than later. This vacuum does not come with a replacement. There is also a post-motor filter which can only be wiped to clean, no replacement was included either. I'm not sure what the cost to replace either of these is currently.
The foot has dual brush rolls which were easy to remove, clean, and replace when following the directions. The FurFinder upholstery tool brush roll also easily came apart, cleaned well, and quickly snapped back into place.
To summarize, this Bissel PowerClean DualBrush is a lightweight, short-running, low powered stick vacuum that includes multiple accessories/tools and an optional wall charger. It works decent for loose, surface dirt and pet hair for a very short period of time before needing to be fully recharged for about 2-3 hours (which personally is not ideal for our particular household and limited schedule). This stick vacuum requires a certain level of maintenance, has a comfortable grip, emits lower noise levels, stores well, and has a small dirt tank. There are no replacement parts included and it is well packaged in earth-friendly materials with a cat approved toy box design.
Although this vacuum is not ideal for the season that our growing family is currently in, it would work well for a bachelor/ette pad with a furry friend or two and a limited budget.

Small but mighty vacuum
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: BAdamson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am beyond impressed with this vacuum. It has seriously surpassed what I was expecting for the price point. I own the very expensive (D****) and this vaccuum beats it in my opinion. We have 2 shedding dogs (1long hair and 1 short) and 2 very messy toddlers.
Pros:
1. This vacuum stands up on its own so no more needing to hang a vacuum to charge you can plug it in anywhere. No more tripping on vacuums or laying them on top of things etc.
2. Dont need to hold a trigger down for power its just an on/off button
3. It uses autoadapt technology to switch the suction level from hardwood floors to carpet and it is very accurate
4. It will pick up the bigger crumbs (cheerios/goldfish) and not just blow them all over. It even picks up ALOT of dried rice from sensory bins. No other stick vacuum has been able to do this no matter the level of power I put it on.
5. It has a light in the front. Originally I thought it would be a useless feature, I usually vacuum with all my kitchen lights on. WOW it makes a huge difference seeing black dog hair on dark brown hardwood floors and dust underneath furniture, its a game changer!
6. I feel like it has a better turning radius to swivel around furniture and chairs. It doesnt feel stiff if im going around things.
7. Easy to empty the canister and clean the filter.
8. Easy to swap attachments and use them for furniture, couches, steps, in between banisters/railings. I use the little wand for my carseats and car.
9. Lightweight

Cons:

2. I dont have alot of carpet and nothing very plush so I cant speak to the suction ability on very thick carpet

Overall, I would highly recommend for anyone that has alot of pet hair/kid crumbs and vaccuums alot on hardwood floors. I use this vaccuum 2-4x a day and love it so far!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid Stick Vacuum for Hardwood and Carpet
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Tidymama879
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this vacuum in a house with kids and cats, so there’s always something on the floor. Between snack crumbs, cat hair, and the random dirt that gets tracked in, it gets a pretty good workout. On our hardwood floors it does a really nice job picking up dust, crumbs, and pet hair without needing to go over the same spot a bunch of times. It also handled bigger things like cereal pieces pretty easily. On our area rugs and carpet it picked up cat hair well, which is always the real test in our house.
The AutoAdapt feature was something I actually noticed while using it. When I moved from hardwood onto a rug, the vacuum seemed to kick up the power on its own. I liked not having to think about switching settings or adjusting anything — it just seemed to respond to what was on the floor.
One thing I didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I do is the self-standing design. I’m constantly stopping to move toys, pick something up, or deal with one of the kids, so being able to just stand the vacuum up in the middle of cleaning without leaning it against a wall is really convenient.
Overall it’s been great for everyday cleaning. It’s lightweight and easy to move around furniture, and it’s powerful enough to deal with the regular mess that comes with kids and pets. For a home with both hardwood floors and carpet, it’s been really practical for quick daily cleanups.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love how quiet it runs
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: VacuumReview
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well this Bissell stick vacuum handles everyday messes. It picks up small crumbs and dust easily and also deals well with larger debris like cereal or pet food without pushing it around. The AutoAdapt technology is a nice touch because it automatically kicks in extra power when the vacuum detects a heavier mess, so you don’t have to constantly adjust settings. I also really like the self-standing design: it sounds simple, but being able to pause and have the vacuum stand on its own without leaning it against something makes quick cleanups much easier. Overall, it feels like a very good value compared to other stick vacuums I’ve tried: it may not have the raw power or runtime of the most expensive models, but for everyday cleaning it’s convenient, effective, and reasonably priced.
I would recommend this to a friend!
