Our previous vacuum died so we needed a new one. After an extensive search through endless online reviews we chose those Bissell vacuum. AMAZING! I didn't realize how bad it previous vacuum was. Even though I vacuumed daily with our old vacuum the amount of pet hair and dander this vacuum picked up was incredible. My only complaint is the cord isn't quite as long but I will absolutely accept the trade-off for how well the Bissell works.

Absolutely amazing. I did not realize how much pet hair my old vacuum missed. I couldn't belive how it sucked up all the pet hair. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so cleaning hair is always been a chore. The only thing I don't care for is that in order to clean in corners unlike a canister where you could just remove the brush you have to connect the hose, but it is well worth it for the job this vacuum does.

This vacuum worked great for a while and is a good overall vacuum, but there was a few things that annoyed me about this machine. For one the flip-down "pet eraser" on the front of the machine does absolutely nothing. Going over pet hair with it down and up does exactly the same, and the thing flipped down just seems to get in the way. The pet hair attachment also did nothing. There is one attachment that seems to do really well, but after multiply uses it now just seems to just clog up with hair. It is also very hard to get into to unclog the pet hair. The base machine itself is very good. It gets up a lot of dirt and hair and is very easy to use. The canister to empty is very easy to open and dump. Every few months though I have to take about the inside of the air tunnel to clean out the pet hair. It is not hard to do, but time consuming and gets your hand pretty dirty in the process. I like this vacuum, but it did not live up to my expectations for a "pet hair eraser."

I bought this vacuum when it first came out years ago. Perhaps my situation is not common. This vacuum was easy to put together, however, the first time I used it it would spit everything it was supposed to be picking up right out the backside of the vacuum. I thought maybe I put it together wrong so I had my father come over and look at it. He said everything looked fine. I then brought it to a vacuum repair shop and the guy took it apart and tried it in his shop. Same thing. Even he was baffled. The only thing this vacuum was good for was using the attachments for cleaning my stairs, although the vacuum is very heavy. I have since gotten rid of it and do not plan on buying another one. I am sure they have made improvements to this vacuum over the years since it first came out, but I am now partial to the Dyson Animal Vacuum. Maneuverability It's heavy but easy to push Ease of Maintenance Easy to clean Suction Performance Did not suck up anything. Spit it out the backside of the vacuum.

We own nearly twelve dogs that come and go as they please in certain rooms of the house. For a time, those rooms were carpeted (we have since gone to laminate with much less hassle and easier cleanup). This vacuum was recommended by someone who worked in a kennel with carpeted floors in the visitor's room. It might be fine for the indoor outdoor carpet but it was a disaster for ours. First of all, don't use the hose and leave the vacuum stationary. I thought this was an exaggeration when I read it in a review before I purchased the vacuum. When you use the hose, the brushes keep spinning, as a result this destroyed a portion of my rug. There should be a pedal or latch on this vac to turn off the brushes or it ideally should click them off on it's own when the hose is in use. Maneuverability I'm used to vacs like this so maneuverability wasn't an issue for me. Ease of Maintenance If you own any pet larger than a rabbit or ferret running around, you'll have to empty this at least once per room for a small room and up to 3 times for a larger one. This is for moderate pet hair. Suction Performance It has great suction until it easily gets clogged. For a vacuum to be used on pet hair, the designers certainly didn't put any effort into making it less prone to clogging. Design Then there's the hose itself. Unless you attach it just perfect, unlike other vacs where you just stick the hose back in after usage, you'll be greeted with an event not dissimilar to that of a Lewis film and you'll just love the ending when you have to re-clean what you just cleaned. Durability Died after 4 months.

I have a large breed dog, a German Sheppard and because he is a long haired dog and sheds constantly most vacuums die quickly on me. I bought this one in hopes that it might survive my animals. I could not be happier! It can not only keep up with my animals fur it but also gets all the dirt from the kids! The only down side? the clear inside makes it possible to see what all you picked up and yuk! That is certainly not pleasant to look at but I am glad this vacuum gets it all up! Bissell certainly named this product correctly as the ' pet hair eraser' because after using it, it is impossible to tell I even have pets! Maneuverability It goes everywhere I need it to go. Ease of Maintenance Very easy to maintain and take care of. Suction Performance This sucks up all the dog fur in my house which is what I had wanted, but was afraid it would not be able to deliver. Happily pleasantly surprised! Versatility It works on both hardwood, laminate and carpets equally as well! Design It looks great I just wish it was not so bulky. Durability It can hold up to my kids, that says a lot.

Overall I am pretty happy with this vacuum. We found it at a local closeout store for under a hundred bucks, so for the money invested I think we got a pretty good product. Maneuverability It has fairly good maneuverability, I use the crevice tool the most for doing around the edges of the rooms where the dog and cat hair seems to accumulate and the pet brush to do the dog bed and couch. Ease of Maintenance There is a removable cup for cleanout, but if I have a lot of dog hair it gets stuck in the top part and I have to take the whole filter arrangement out and get it out with my hands, which is a little bit of a pain and make a bit of a mess that you have to clean up afterwards. Suction Performance Very good, it sucks up anything I have need for it to. Versatility I like the tools and especially the rolling pet brush for doing the dogs bed. Design Pretty standard design I think, nothing exceptional or super fancy, which is good, simple is usually better. Durability I have been using this for over 6 months now with a long haired dog and two cat and kids and a boyfriend that likes to track muc in with his boots and it is holding up very well.

This vacuum cleaner is just okay in my opinion. It was not my first choice but it was given to us as a gift and we could not pass it up. We use it for our basement and it does well but I definitely think there are better vacuums out there. It still leaves behind dog hair, but picks up big pieces left on the carpet like leaves or pieces of paper etc. I hate that the cord does not retract on it. You have to unwind and then wind it again which is a real pain! I also think it is pretty loud for a vacuum compared to our other vacuum. But it has been durable and has held up well in all the different conditions it has faced. It maneuvers pretty decently though for its size but I do not feel like it does well on different surfaces.It just does okay, not fantastic but not horrible. I will continue to use this little vacuum until it dies and then I will invest in a nicer brand preferably a Dyson. It's not a horrible vacuum but it is not a product I would really recommend to my friends or family.

I purchased the vacuum because I read a lot of reviews that showed for this device to work very well specifically with dog hair. I have owned numerous a vacuum cleaners for dog hair and this was one of the ones that did not work at all. After using a couple of times it ended up breaking on me and got clogged up. It was not easy to clean and it just did not work right after that I do have a dog but he does not shed that much enough to break the vacuum. It was just a waste of money and I never used it after he broke down. I was able to use it about three times before it broke. It is also very heavy so it's not easy to use on stairs or if you use it throughout the house your arm becomes tired fast. Design It's is nice but also very heavy. Durability I used it about three times before I had to stop using it so it's not very reliable and not meant for dog hair even though that is what it's advertised as I would not use it for that.
