Bissell 22543 Clean view Swivel Rewind Pet Vacuum And Carpet Cleaner, Purple

Just got this off the porch where it was delivered. Opened the box, put it together quickly and easily. My mother's downstairs apartment was covered in dog hair from her shedding black lab on white carpet. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS suction. Got the nooks and corners, got under tables and the swivel head makes it so much easier. Suction on 3 sides helps a lot too. No need for the attachments along walls, just picks it all right up without a fuss. It has a suction indicator so you know when the canister is full. One touch easy peasy empty. Could not be happier. It is a heavy vacuum though. I do not think I would try to carry it up and down the stairs. But it has attachments and a very long cord and pretty good reach on the hose. So not much need to carry it anyway. Cord retracts with the touch of a button. Love it. I almost wanna go brush the lab so I can use it again... almost. Lol

My Kenmore finally bit the dust and I was only half done vacuuming. Bought this because I do like Bissell for cleaning up after pets in hand helds....holy cannoli. Easy to put together and I just went over the living room (that was done 2 days before)....the canister had so much dirt in it I was shocked. While I at first went "ewwww", I then thought well it's clean now LOL. Obviously really good on carpets getting out all the dust and crap left over from my old vacuum. As someone else mentioned, the carpet is now a different colour....amazing. Worth it!!!!

I had read the many reviews almost all good but a few not so great. We needed a vacuum for the lake asap so I took a chance.Wow, the amount of sand it pulled out of the carpet was shocking. This after the carpets were steam cleaned and vacuumed with our old machine. A family member commented that the room even smelled cleaner. The stair attachment worked well with no reduction in suction and spun well even on a thicker carpeted stair. It's a little bit heavier than our last vacuum but works so much better. I would have given it a 4.5 for maneuverability if possible, it's just a bit wider than some spots we need to reach so I find myself fussing around with getting it to those spots.For the price this vacuum is terrific!

This has been the best vacuum I have ever owned or operated.Pros:1. The wind up power cord makes this vacuum so easy to put away.2. It's pretty easy to manage. It feels large enough to do a heavy duty job but light enough to easily move around. (dont have stairs in my house so not sure how easy it would be to maneuver up and down)3. It's easy to clean out. I've had this for almost a year and just the other day finally took it apart and washed all the removable parts. This is the first vacuum I have ever owned that doesnt get hair and fur all wrapped up in the brush and need to be cleaned weekly. Even after almost a year and constantly checking the brush there was very little hair wrapped around the brush. This is by far the thing I love most about it!The suction power is average.Cons.1. The hose is a bit short and makes it difficult to clean edges and corners without having the vacuum kinda in your way.2. The power cord comes out from the right of the vacuum. Now this is only a problem for a right handed person. It just seems difficult to handle the vacuum with my right hand while the power cord is always crossing paths to my left hand trying to keep it out of the way.Overall:I have owned two shark vacuums in the past and both suction hoses on those started to crack and split within a year. But they were lightweight and easily maneuverable. I grew up with my mom's Kirby (the old bagged kind with all the attachments even a carpet steamer/cleaner). The suction on that was unbeatable, but it was so heavy and big.I feel this Bissell is the best of both worlds. Good suction and attachments, but lightweight.Such a good buy I went and ordered another Bissell for my Nephew when he needed a vacuum.Would recommend this product.

First the overall. This vac is just great. It has a better suction process than the 3 shark vacuum cleaners I had previously. It is lighter than you think, and the turn radius is easy as well.PROSIt is lighter than your average vac, I have a bad back and had NO ISSUES moving this thing up and down the stairs.Suction is MUCH better than my previous vac.Design was smart - all the tools can be placed in easy grab area's and do what it is they are supposed to do.Self winding cord - a blessing. It works right and you do not have to feel like you are storing rope.Hose is pretty long.Works great on flat surfaces and you can dial in the height based on your rug pile level.CONSIf you do not turn the dial for the height, you could burn a spot in your rug. The brush wheel keeps spinning even when upright. So basically, if you dial it in correctly --- you don't have to worry.It is louder than my old vac, but it is doing a wayyyy better job. Suspect it is loud because of how strong the suction is.
