BISSELL AeroSlim Lithium Ion Cordless Handheld Vacuum, 29869, Black

I watched the videos and read the reviews, and I had high hopes for this handheld vacuum. First of all, the power button is in a very awkward place. You need a good grasp around the vacuum to remove the top to empty the debris and clean out the filter. Every single time I remove the debris cup I turn the vacuum on and have to rearrange my grip. You also need a good grip around the vacuum to try to put the brush tool attachment on. Once again, Im constantly turning it on when I do that. The brush tool attachment does not attach securely, and it came off a few times when I was using it. There is no secure click or anything to tightly hold it in place. If you put too much pressure on it, it comes off. I tried vacuuming a lampshade that sits over a heat vent that had cat hair on it. When I slid the brush up to use it on the attachment it brushed the hair off the shade, but it did not suck the hair into the collection cup. The hair accumulated on the brush. I had to pull the hair off the brush and throw it in the trash. With the brush slid down, the flat suction part of the attachment did not remove the hair from the shade. It did a pretty good job sucking up debris out of my computer keyboard. Ill keep it, and over time I may get used to holding it in a cumbersome way that keeps me from hitting the power button.

I was a little nervous that this vacuum was so small it wouldn’t work great. I was wrong. I love this thing!! Works great and the battery life seems to be a long time!

Not strong suction but good for cleaning up little messes

Originally bought this as something to keep in the bathroom for vacuuming kitty litter since one of the top reviews said it was good for it. I realize now in hindsight they meant the litter trapped in the mat. The vacuum is good for concentrated areas but if your cat is like mine who gets really messy, you’re better off with a vacuum with a wide mouth that can tackle more surface area in a shorter amount of time, otherwise you’ll be waving this thing around on the floor forever. The battery life doesn’t last super long. It’s excellent for a quick magic wand wave over crumbs and dusty crevices but not great for having it on for more than 2 minutes straight. I keep it plugged in whenever I’m not using it (the suction at the full 3 dot power meter is mighty but once it hits 2 dots after one minute you can hear the sound is noticeably weaker). Did not work well for my original intention of cat litter but works great for the “fine tune” areas my big dumb cord vacuum can’t reach. I love how sleek and modern it looks so that’s why I kept it at four stars instead of three.

I really liked the prompt delivery because she was coming for her “birthday dinner” & although I had a back up gift this little vacuum was what she put on her Amazon wish list. So despite the oxymoron of buying a vacuum for a gift, I would rather buy something someone wanted than to guess at it. And it looks nice & compact so I think it will help her out with the messes from 5 kids..

Easy to use. Perfect size & easy to handle.

I bought this to keep by my desk and vacuum tuffs of fur and dirt. The exhaust fan is close to the front end of the tool and on the bottom side, so it blows the fur and dust everywhere if you try to use it without the attachment tool. The normal end for vacuuming can not be turned in the other direction due to locking grooves that dont line up with turned, but the attachment can be. If careful, it works great. I just wish the exhaust was more towards the handle side or on top.

I love this vacuum and how compact yet powerful it is. Great performance and easy to maintain.

I dont like the process to remove the debris. I often have to pull the filter out and pick stuff off it. The most I want to have to do to clean it is to dump a cup or bang it against the inside of my can to release the debris.

Bought to use as a bathroom vacuum for quick hair cleanups (post hair dry looks like a zoo). Works fine for hair, but not much suction. Awkward to use because it’s so small.
