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
