Well my to cats who are long hair Calico’s and with the carpet and area rug I have, there was always a light hair “film” left behind from my old vacuum, very frustrating.
This was a super fast delivery so I was happy to get started.
I found it very easy to assemble, it is however a bit weighted, but still a one hand task. I love the “long pile/short pile” options this way it can really dig into the different carpet, and that it does! The suction is good and I like how the beater bar gets right in there and have no hassle of hair build up. I find the LED lighting useless but it’s there and maybe helpful to some. I also liked that I could use it on my kitchen floor. The accessories work really well, the mini power head did a great job on my cat trees and the window beds they sleep in. I even did the drapes with the soft brush and went hog wild and did my mattress, and clean out the radiators, just so see how versitile it could be, in all situations it did a nice job.
The one thing though, is I wish the hose was a few inches longer to be able to reach the top of the large cat tree. The other thing I was slightly disappointed in is that it doesn’t get under a bed and such very well because of its design, oh well have to pull out the bed somethings I guess. It stores in a tight space nicely and the canister is very easy to clean and empty. I have the manual cord wind up version, for the few seconds it takes to wind up the cord I don’t see how the automatic one is worth it. Really it just has a little weight but it is a solid piece of kit.

I have been a diehard supporter of bissell products for years. This vacuum is no exceptionā¦from the ease of useā¦the fabulous suctionā¦the machine gets the job done.
My needs however have changedā¦I no longer have a carpeted householdā¦instead I have a hardwood floor household. This bissell is perfect for meā¦it has a beater bar that has the capacity to vacuum but not to be in use ā¦perfect for hardwood. When I want to use the beater bar for the small amount of carpet I have, I just press a button and on it comes. Love this bissell.

Works well on carpet to pull up pet hair. Easy to use and not too heavy to carry up and down stairs. Only issue is the holding container is a bit small and needs to be empty a bit more often. But it fills up quickly because it does a great job getting everything my other vacuum left behind.

Absolutely love this sweeper! Had just vacuumed with my other sweeper the day before receiving this sweeper. The amount of hair & other debris that was picked up within one day was amazing. Picked almost as much within the next day. I’m sure this debris has been in my carpets for longer than I want to know. Highly recommended for long haired dogs like a German Shepherd (Shedder).
Also, lighter weight so easier to move around but does not diminish suction power.

So it is a really heavy vacuum and pretty bulky. It has great suction power for 5-6 uses and then you have to take the entire thing apart and clean it out including unscrewing the bottom and even that isn’t a sure thing. It is powerful and good at picking up my long hair and my rabbits fur but hard to maneuver and you need to clean it every time after the first initial uses. It is now 8 months since I got this and 6 months since I started using it. I used 1-3 times a month. It is now completely unusable. Personally, not sure if it is worth the price. Maybe I just have an extremely difficult home to clean but I don’t think it is.

I have had laminate floors and hard wood floors for years – I have pets and hate having carpet. So, we finally sold our house in crappy California and purchased a home in Tennessee. Bad part, it has a house FULL of carpet. We have a double coated Border Collie/German Shepard, American Staffy, and a cat. I have really long hair and it falls out constantly. This vacuum is AMAZING – I got it on sale on National Pet Day or whatever it was called, ( it was last month and I got it for like $120 LESS than regular price) So, it was a no brainer. The canister is SO much better to empty than the Dyson you and everything falls out like it should. Dyson you had to stick your hand up in the canister and pull all the hair and crap out of it. It was disgusting. It’s pretty heavy for me, im 5’6 and 127 so I need to raise the beater brush up higher because if it’s too low, it’s almost impossible to pull or push it. Im being dramatic – it’s not impossible, but it’s extremely difficult. It’s extremely powerful. I really like it. Now, I need to buy a wet/dry/steam vac do to the carpets when someone barfs or brings in a dead bird or maimed squirrel as a gift for mom and dad. any suggestions on something that keeps the water SUPER Hot and will DRY very quickly. Bueller, Bueller, anyone, anyone, Hawley Smoot Tariff Act?

We had a dison ball vac and I got tired of picking hair out of each part of the vac after each use. Started to loose suction and it was just heavy. Saw this read the reviews and first let me start by tell you I have four dogs that live in the house not toy dogs, but BIG dogs and hair is a issue. This thing is what I’ve been looking for, hair has YET to get rapped round the brush, not stopping and cleaning after each use. The can seperates the hair and ties it up, still have to reach up when emptying the can to get the hair but not like the dyson where I had to take the can apart everytime to get to the hair. I read that some people complain that it’s heavy, for us it’s not it’s actually lighter than the Dyson and is pretty easy to move around. Bottom line, I finally found the love of my life.

We have three cats and two dogs. I would use our other vacuums and have to push and pull over the hairs on the furniture and rugs and still couldnāt get it all. Out of frustration, one day, I ordered this amazing machine. Now, one pass picks up most hairs, a second pas gets the remaining ones. Itās astonishing, really. The powerhead attachment for furniture is as good as the main unit floor brush. You have to empty the canister more, even though it holds a lot, because of how much it picks up! Iām 75 years old now, and itās hard for me to struggle with the other vacuums. This one, is simply a delight. (I have had all the big name brands, even that super expensive oneā¦ this wins hands down.)

When I bought this at the beginning of the year, I was ecstatic to have a lightweight vacuum that I could use throughout my home to combat the relentless cloud of dog fur that hangs over my life.
I have two huskies and would previously have to vacuumā¦ use a rubber squeegee to pull out the deeper fur, then vacuum again to get all the dander and dust also knocked loose.
Based on the advertising and selling points, I expected this to simplify the process and free up a couple hours every week. The first time I used it, I was ECSTATIC.
My carpets and rugs were as clean as I could get them using my old method after a single quick pass – and looking close to new after a second pass. I was incredibly impressed.
The second use, I had an identical experience on my area rug, but when I moved to the carpet the rolling brush stopped. Upon examining, some husky hair had wrapped around the roller and gotten trapped under the belt. This was easily resolved, although the obstruction did take some time to clear.
After getting back up and running, I noticed it was picking up less and less despite having just emptied the canister. Turned out hair had clogged at the top of the canister, where the vacuum actually deposits the picked up debris.
THIS was a slightly more involved fix that required disassembly of the canister (including a couple of screws that require a fairly long driver to reach). I was able to finish without further incident.
However, this has happened with EVERY SINGLE USE since then. I spend more time disassembling and reassembling the canister than I do vacuuming with nullifies any benefit I was hoping to achieve with this vacuum.
Add in the occasional roller blockage and it was a nightmare to use. But the final straw for me was the blockages in the hose connecting the motor/handle with the part that makes contact with the floor.
The *top* part of the hose easily disconnects with a simple twist. But the *bottom* is fixed to the floor part. To clear the blockage, you have to removed the protective cover (~10 screws), clear the hose, and reassemble it. This takes 15 minutes and now happens every other use.
Vacuuming 2-3 times weekly, my trouble shooting/maintenance just to make this thing RUN is nearly 90 minutes.
If I wasnāt so cheap I would have already bought another vacuum, but Iām waiting until next year when it can be included in my budget.
I donāt expect a vacuum to last forever. Heck, one year of good use is all I expected with the amount of work this thing has to put in on all this hair!! But for the price – and being made for this exact purpose – I fully expected more than one and a half uses without issues.
If your animals have long hair or truly shed a ton – stay as far away from this vacuum as possible.
