Best vacuum I have used in 20 years. Most are too heavy and I have broken many for various reasons. I have used a shop vac to clean my house because of this. I only have area rugs and my house is fully tiled. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and I would normally hand vacuum my carpets with a wire brush and my shop vac. This is light and easy to use, it stands on its own, the attachments are exactly what you need. I have it mounted on the wall in a closet and plugged in so it’s always on the charge. I have gotten so mush debris from the few area rugs I have that it’s as if I have never cleaned them! I am astounded at what’s in the canister. The fur attachment is a game changer. I can vacuum and get a lot. Then I use that attachment on carpet like it’s a vacuum and more comes out. I love it! The light on it is super bright and the vacuum easily transitions from carpet to tile without kicking debris around. I have recommended this to many and they are equally happy. VERY satisfied customer! Read more

Cordless vacuums eliminate the annoyance of cord management. But many seem to retain the same design flaws that earlier versions come with. The Bissell PowerClean FurGuard is IMO a really good contender at avoiding most of those mistakes. The good things are as follows. * First - it works well at cleaning, we are able to clean both upstairs and downstairs on a single charge (mostly low setting). That said those with lots of thick carpet may need to stay with a corded design for the added power (or get a spare battery). * Weight is not exactly light, but not too heavy. * The handle is good, no "trigger guard" design - for some reason too many designs retain that even through the actual trigger has (thankfully) been dropped in favor of an on/off button - those designs put too much of the weight onto the trigger finger. * Roller does seem to do a good job at avoiding getting tangled in hair. * Noise to power ratio seems reasonable. We tried a different brand where high power was nearly deafening. * Emptying the bin is reasonable, it doesn't require inverting the unit or detaching the attachment the way I've seen others function. * It also comes with a powered furniture roller which is really useful and actually worked well when I used it (some other vacs make this a paid add on). * Simple but effective 3 levels of power and well as 3 level battery indicator. * Stands upright on it's own with reasonable stability. * Comes with a wall mount which uses the attachments built-in lever buttons to keep them in place. For us, this makes keeping the unit in one place a bit easier than just leaning it against a wall. A few minor draw backs/wish list items: * It always starts at medium, I really wish it was either defaulted to low or retained the last setting when it was turned off. This interacts with the next point. * As a follow on: As is typical, the mode (low, medium, high) is a single button that goes up, I really would like a double button to allow going down. We have mostly all hard floors so we have to cycle from the default medium to high then to low which works well and extends the run time significantly. * The roller is reasonably sized, but only the front fits under certain furniture due to the way it attaches. If it had a small amount more reach that would be nice. * Emptying the bin is ok, but requires first taking the bin off the unit, then pulling out the internal center bits which does mean you can access them (great) but also means a quick empty of something bigger also requires care to not get the dust accumlation everywhere. An optional way to empty from the bottom of the bin (keeping the internals in place) would be a nice addition. Overall, I'm quite happy with this. However, this is a recent purchase so I can't evaluate longevity. Read more

Usually for what I call big ticket items like this (anything over $100) I will use the item for a month to get a fair assessment of it prior to leaving a review. This was purchased as a replacement for a cheaper stick type vacuum that I had for a year that I felt was underpowered. This is quite a lot more powerful, so that’s good. The battery lasts me a long time, because I only use it in bursts to clean one or two rooms. In the month that I have had it I only charged it once after the initial charge. It has quite a lot of heft for its size. Especially compared with my previous vacuum. It’s taken me a little getting used to its heft. It’s not like it’s very heavy, it’s more like it requires a little more determination to use it. But the power it has to lift up dirt in my opinion makes it worth it, despite the slight loss in nimbleness in its operation. The light in front really shows you how dirty your house was before you started and this can be alarming and concerning, because you’ll be aware of dirt that you didn’t realize was actually there. It’s great for that. You may find yourself going on a quest to get every bit of dust off your floors like I have. Each section of tube that detaches has its own little crevice tool built in, and this is handy. It really feels like a quality machine and honestly it is cheaper than it should be, which is great for us consumers and hopefully the company doesn’t see this and decide to raise the price. I’ve used Dysons before and would say this is fairly equal to the power that they have and just as robust. If you’ve priced Dysons then you’ll know that they are double or triple the cost of this. To me, this is a no brainer. My one gripe is that I like to really keep the motor and filters clean and it’s not obvious how to get the filter out to clean it. So, so far I have only emptied the dust bin and washer the bin and structured within the bin, but have not ventured into the air filters above the bin in the course of this month. Read more

I’m not normally one to leave reviews however I believe this vacuum is deserving of one. This picture is after just ONE MINUTE of vacuuming my carpet in the living room. I have a an Australian shepherd/ Rhodesian ridgeback mix, and I also suffer from a decent amount of hair loss due to a medical condition. Not to mention I have two young kids who leave a trail of crumbs somehow everywhere they go. This vacuum tackled hair, fur, and crumbs with no issues on my high pile carpet and tile flooring. The best part is that the self cleaning brush roll still looked spotless, so it did its job there! I got this vacuum as an alternative to my wet vacuum that is corded as it seemed it would be easier for daily use and needing less maintenance. I live in a small apartment, so the battery time doesn’t affect me too much, however if you have a bigger home I would consider buying a second battery to go with this vacuum. The suction power is strong, and it reaches corners and crevices well, while also fitting under hard to reach spaces. The bright lights made it so much easier to see spots that I may otherwise have missed, plus it’s just satisfying to watch as all the yuck disappears under the spotlight. If you are considering this vacuum, it’s 100% worth it. Read more

Bought this after returning a less expensive Bissell. Quality construction, lightweight. Thought the dust cup was a little too small, but it’s fine. Unit has 3 power settings, medium is standard when turning the vacuum on. High will use more battery life, light is good for bare floor and throw rugs. Satisfied with the medium setting. Vacuum is very efficient with the “headlights” revealing dust and cat hair well. Battery life is about 30 minutes. However, a spent battery takes 3 hours to charge completely. So I bought a spare battery for $70! The unit just quits when the battery dies. It will stop and beep if you get stuck under a table or sofa. Just pull it out and restart. You can separate the unit into a hand vac, but it’s a little too heavy to use. My wife wanted a lighter unit saying our old one was too heavy to handle (we’re getting old.) So once we were satisfied trying the unit out, she announce that vacuuming would now be my chore! I was speechless. Catch this vacuum on sale (it’s on sale today for $200, down from $267!) and you’ve got a great vacuum, just as good as a Shark, maybe a Dyson as well. Read more

Way more better than expected, i didnt expect this, only on the minimum power its more than enough to cleaner everything, 1 battery lasts soooo long. I know its perfect because there is no enough reviews for it on youtube Its wonderful 🏆 The only issue its not very easy to maneuver Read more

ممتااازة جدا كقوة شفط ، كان عندي دايسون v12 marine وكانت تغلبني في التبديل بين قطعة السجاد وقطعة الارضيات الي لاحظته ف بيسيل كمميزات انها شفطها افضل بكثير وتستخدم راس واحدة للارضيات والسجاد كمان القطعة الخاصة بالزوايا ممتازة ف الاداء بتيجي معاها كمان بطارية اضافية ودة شيء رائع والمميز ايضا ان الشحن بيفضل فترة واقدر اخلص شغل البيت كله بشحنه واحدة عيبها الوحيييييد انها ثقيلة شوية ، يعني لاني متعودة على خفية دايسون فكانت بالنسبالي اثقل بنسبة بسيطة لكن تتحمل ثقلها مقابل اداءها الممتاز وكمان سعرها المنافس ف العروض Read more

Awesome suction power, light weight compared to regular vacs. No tangle brush works well. Wonderful to use on the stairs. Debris canister is a bit small so I have to empty it often, but it's a small price to pay in comparison to the benefits that it offers. Oddly makes me excited to use as our carpeted stairs have always been a hassle when having to lug a regular vac with cord around. The battery is short lived when on the high setting, but I purchased a back up battery to have on hand and that works great. You don't have to hang it (with the included unit hanger) near an outlet as the battery detaches for ease of charging. All attachments are extremely useful and they all hang very secure and neatly on the included hanger. Read more

This is the best vacuum I have EVER owned! It genuinely makes me excited to clean! It is super lightweight compared to my old corded vacuum and doesn't make my back hurt after using it! It also picks up so much dirt and dust, I was amazed when I emptied it out after the first time using it! I had tried a cordless vacuum in the past and hated it because the battery would die after I finished just one room, but this one has a great battery life and lets me clean my whole apartment in one go! The charging station that goes on the wall also keeps everything looking nice and organized. There are also three lights that let you know if the vacuum is properly charging and how charged it is. It is very easy to empty out the dirt. I just can't say enough about this vacuum, it has completely changed my cleaning game! Read more

I love this vacuum! It’s powerful but lightweight and easy to maneuver. It’s powerful, not too loud, works well on my two staircases. The filter is very easy to disconnect and dump the contents into the garbage and then snap it back in place. No need for vacuum bags. I was shocked at how much it’s picking up off my carpet. The rechargeable battery is also easy to remove. I don’t have anything bad to say about it. When I was researching, I was a little worried that it wasn’t going to have enough suction power or last long enough (per the reviews), but it works great for my 2400 square-foot home. I do have another bigger vacuum but rarely pull out because this one is doing just fine on all of my carpeted areas. It also works great on my faux wood floors and bathroom tile floors. Only had it for about four months, but so far I am thrilled with its performance. Read more

Overall, this is a great vacuum. It has awesome suction, charges fast, and the battery lasts long enough to vacuum my whole house with about 30% to spare. I really like the wall mount charging stand in that the attachments clip on and off so they don't randomly fall to the floor forcing me to put them somewhere I then subsequently can't find when I need them. The suction power is truly awesome. Of the three levels, I have only needed the medium power on one or two occasions and never the highest setting. The brush rolls don't get immediately jammed full of hair but still do a great job of cleaning up dog hair. The only down sides are that the canister is pretty small, and I have to empty 2 or 3 times in 20 minutes of vacuuming and the major issue id that there is no suction relief valve, so it stalls and shuts down the brush on area rugs, dog beds, etc. This is a pretty major annoyance that would have made me look at another model had I paid better attention when shopping.

I am compelled to write a review for this vacuum because it is everything I wanted in a stick vacuum. First, it sucks :-) Very adequately on level II, great on level III. It feels well balanced in the hand and turning the handle directs the cleaning head effortlessly. I can zoom around with ease. It works best on hard floors and low pile carpets. You do need to "slow down" on more plush carpeting to get everything. Of critical importance: it stands up on its own!!! Why do so many manufacturers not realize this is crucial? I love the LED light it really highlights crumbs on the floor. Battery life so far is great. I have swept my medium size kitchen, dining and family area several times on II/III without needing a charge. When the time does come, the battery comes out easily to recharge (or you can do it in the unit). Being able to switch batteries, I think, is a great feature. Empties easy too without some weird filter I have to brush to get dust out of it. I really can't think of a negative. I do worry that the mechanism that locks it standing up may wear over time, it seems a bit too......easy. But otherwise, no complaints at the moment will update if they arise. Read more

We are like little kids with a new toy. This Bissell vacuum is so super easy to use. It does a really great job and the lights really help you see all that needs to be cleaned up. You can grab it and do a lot or a little. It is super easy ot empty. We have two dogs and our daughter brings her 2 over a lot. We can use this on the carpets, bare floors and even the couch. We are thrilled with it so far, and the battery seems to last a really long time. Read more

I have had many cordless sweepers, Shark, and another brand and have had many problems with them. I swore I would never buy another cordless sweeper. I hated taking a sweeper apart to make it stand up. I hated that it never picked up things it said it would and always left litter on the bottom when I would shut it off. I liked the idea of a cordless sweeper as it doesn't tie you down from room to room with a plug and and having arthritis in my back and hands, bending over is a bit painful. I decided to go against that feeling I had and give it onw more try with another brand name that had a good reputation. I bought this gem during Amazons price reduction sale! This sweeper is everything it said it was. It has powerful suction and picks up all my kitty litter that my little boy loves to throw everywhere. I do not have remnants of it after i shut it off!! And boy oh boy did I love it just to stand up by itself and me not having to lean up against something that would fall over and over like the others. It is saving my back. Using the hanger does not make sense to me to keep making holes in the wall and not having a outlet nearby to plug it in. I never use them. It is a heavy handle, so those with hand problems may have a little bit of a problem, but I am okay with that. The lights were fantastic and I can see every crumb on the floor. Taking the tray out to empty is a cinch and inserts back in nicely! It is heavier than all of the sweepers I had before, and there are times when it is harder to push for some reason, which I haven't figured out why. Its mostly going from floor to rug that it becomes harder to push. Maybe its the type of brush that is on the bottom or some sort of adjustment that needs done. Not sure if there are other attachments available for that. But I still would rate this sweeper a very high mark and it was worth every penny that I invested. I would highly recommend this product.

I bought this vacuum 3 months ago and I love it. It is better than any shark or Dyson or anything I've tried in it's price range. There may be better vacuums but this one cleans well, is ergonomic, lightweight, has good battery life, great suction, free standing, charges quickly enough. Until this week, I couldn't complain at all. Now, suddenly, the clip holding the power head to the wand is broken. We use this machine very lightly. I'm hopeful that it will be replaced and I'll update my review with five stars but, if the vacuum is so fragile that it needs a $60 replacement wand after 3 months of light use, then I can't recommend it as a good value. It is still a great performer until it breaks, but 3 months is far too short of a lifespan for a non-consumable part. UPDATE: Bissell is replacing the wand at no cost to me, so I am upping this to 4 stars. It shouldn't have broken, but things happen and they handled it quickly. If it lasts a year this time, I'd probably come back and raise this to 5 stars because it is truly a great performer. Read more

This thing SUCKS- and I mean that as a compliment! My favorite feature are the LED lights, which will show you even the smallest of dust particles. The first time I used this vacuum cleaner, our cleaning lady had just cleaned the house. Well, so I thought. Using this Bissell vacuum cleaner I could see where she cleaned and where she didn’t, thanks to the LED lights. the Fur Guard had no problem at all sucking up everything to the smallest dust patches. It is fun to use with 3 different suction power levels and easy to clean. Our house has mainly hardwood floors and even the lowest suction power level is sufficient enough to get everything clean. Using the lowest power level also allows you to use the vacuum for a very long time (40min+) before it needs to be charged again. There is a 3 bar LED charging indicator and it takes about 2h to fully charge. My old Dyson handheld would only last about 7min to 10min on a full charge, so this is a whole new world of cordless vac for me. The vacuum comes with a floor cleaning size brush head tool and a smaller version for upholstery etc. Both work great in that they seem to not collect any hair around the brush roll. My Dyson constantly needed attention, since its brush tool would get clogged with long hair, etc. So again, The Bissell keeps impressing. It also shuts down the rotation brush motor if it senses too much resistance, which is great to prevent it from eating rugs and loose laundry like the long lost sock underneath the sofa. There is also a wand tool attachment with bristle adapter included in this set, which I haven’t even used yet. The only downside I have run into with this awesome machine is the big plastic knuckle at the bottom neck of the main wand, that allows for the vacuum to stand upright in its own. The knuckle adds quite a couple of inches to the height of the vacuum floorhead unit, which prevents it from reaching below furniture pieces and sofas that are lower than 5 inches off the ground. Other than that, there are no complains, only praise. I actually enjoy vacuuming the house now as this shore has become fun due to the LED lights showing exactly where you have cleaned already and where you still have something to suck up. All in all the Bissell Fur Guard is great value for the money and I give it two thumbs up! Read more

I needed to replace my Dyson cordless. I was skeptical to stray from Dyson even tho there were things about the Dyson i really didn't like. I have had this Bissell now for about a month. At first it seemed too heavy compared to the Dyson even tho it was only like a pound or so different. But i got used to it pretty quickly. The power on this seems very good for now. I love some of the elemnts like the foot switch to easily take the long piece off the floor vacuum part. Bonus on that. Love the light although it was shocking at first to see all the dirt on the floor. Its super helpful to have that light. Its easy to take the dirt dispenser off the vacuum and spilling out the dirt is easy, yes you have to pull some of it out but you kind of had to do that with the Dyson too. This piece stands on its own. Extra points for that. It comes with some good extra tools as well. I would say for the money this so far is a winner. Read more

This is a quality vacuum. I've purchase so many vacuums through the years. I can tell you that I won't be giving this one away! It picks up so much dust and hair. It's incredibly easy to empty the dust collector. Hair easily comes off with no effort. It picks up everything the first time. I have mostly bare floors with area rugs. I'm always amazed at how much it picks up even when the floors don't look dirty. I also love how it swivels to allows me to get to hard to reach places. I believe that it's a great value for the money. I do have two complaints about it. The first is that the handle is heavy because of the battery location. The second is that it doesn't have a replacement battery so. Sometimes, if I have a lot of vacuuming to do, the battery dies before I finish. Even with these two "complaints", I still give it five stars! Read more

I love this vacuum! I am a woman who finds it hard to clean my home because of my disabilities. This vacuum is lightweight and so easy to use. It glides along with such ease and suction that it takes me less time to clean and leaves me with less pain in my back compared to my old vacuum. I love that you can easily press the button with your toe to release the main vacuum and use the awesome attachments to quickly get other messes and then just as quickly click it back onto the main and continue cleaning the floor or rug. I do have a fur baby who sheds A LOT, and this vacuum has no problem removing ALL of his fur from the floor or couch. Plus, the light is so bright that even in dark spaces, I can see all of the hair and debris that I otherwise would not see. For years now I have only purchased Shark vacuums, but this Bissell has won me over! Thank you Bissell for such a helpful tool! Coming from a person with limitations, this vacuum is truly a blessing!

My Dyson was acting up so I decided to replace it. My first Dyson lasted 15 years. My second Dyson lasted seven years. I decided to save hundreds of dollars and go with Bissell. I enjoy vacuuming with this. It’s so easy to navigate around corners, slide under things, and it does a great job picking up the dog hair. This was, and is an excellent vacuum. The canister is large enough and is easily removed. The "stand up" feature (so it doesn’t fall over). The battery remains charged for a few days. I have no "cons" with this vacuum. Read more
