Bissell LiftOff Revolution Pet Vacuum Review

The Bissell Lift Off Revolution Pet Vacuum is a great value.  It works hard and has good suction.  We had a dog for two of the years that we had this vacuum, and it works well to remove pet hair from carpet and upholstery.  

The lift-off feature is really handy for stairs and getting into tight spaces.  Also, cleaning this vacuum is easy as pie.  I clean the filter about every 2 weeks just by rinsing it out in the sink and letting it air dry.  I'd really recommend this vacuum for people who have carpeted floors and pets!

I only have two minor problems with this vacuum.  The first is the hand tools.  I do not find that they have good suction, and most of the time I find that they don't work as well as I'd like.  We mostly have carpet, so this is not a big deal for me, but if you compulsively clean upholstery or need to clean large areas of bare floor or tile, this might prove to be more of a problem.

The second problem is that the pet hair "turbo" cleaner (it's a hand tool that snaps onto the front of the vacuum) has repeatedly gotten stuck and refuses to work.
