Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum Review

There are a lot of mixed reviews on this vaccum, and after owning it for a couple of years, I can see both sides.  Let me start with the positives:

1) It really works.  If you own cats or dogs, you know what a pain it can be to get rid of all of the fur they leave behind.  This vaccum is very adept at picking up all of the fur that my previous vaccum left behind.  It actually worked so well that my brother and sister-in-law bought one as well!

2) The included tools help you get the job finished!  I have a friend who is allergic to cats, and after using this vaccum, he came over while they were locked in my bedroom and had no issues.  He actually thought that I had gotten rid of the cats because the vaccum picked up all of the fur!

3) It's bagless, which means if you accidently suck something up you need, like a stray lego, or one of your kid's (or pet's) toys, it's easy to find without getting too gross, and the clear design of the hose and canister help to identify clogs before they become a problem.

4) HEPA filters keep my allergies in check, and keep excess dust from making it's way into the air.

5) Almost every part is detachable for easy cleaning.

Now the negatives:

1) If you're the type of person who vaccums once every month or two or more, then you'll be frustrated at going through belts for the rotating brush (this vaccum was meant to pick up a week's worth of hair at a time).  Anything more than that, and you're just overloading it!

2) The filters aren't cheap, but they get the job done.

3) It's a little bulky and heavy.

4) If you're someone who doesn't like to do regular upkeep on a vaccum
(keeping the hoses and brushes clean), this vaccum will be too high maintenance for you.

All in all, the Pet Hair Eraser is a great vaccum for a great price, that if you take care of, will be a loved appliance for years to come.
