BISSELL CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum, Fits In Dorm Rooms & Apartments, Lightweight with Powerful Suction and Removable Extension Wand, 3508, Red,black

Very fast straightforward assembly out of the box. Unexpectedly but delightfully lightweight vacuum. Very loud of course, for a vacuum but seems to have strong suction power. Picked up a lot of pet hair real good for me. Of course, long term performance will in large part depend on how well you maintain it. I got this for my Dad and I doubt he would know what to do but with me, I clean them after each use and will clean the filters regularly and inspect the hose for clogs regularly, so that would surely affect performance. I did not like the way the dust canister simply rests against the intake opening, it didnt really snap into it, or fit into it. Didnt seem to affect performance or leak dust, I just didnt like it and suspect it could be problematic if the canister ever doesnt fit snugly in the future. Some have complained about hose length, the best way to use the hose is to detach the handle as that is the extension for length, but you have to be aware of where the vacuum is sitting, I dont think the brush roll stops when upright, or can be stopped when running. An issue Ive had with every vacuum Ive handled thus far, the cord wrap never seems to be fully accommodating for the length of cord you have to wrap around it. Its not very long but neither are the ends you wrap the cord over, deep enough so you have lots of cord wrapping around pegs that arent deep enough to make the cord fit without wanting to overhang or slip off. Cons aside, for the price point I am happy with this. I wanted lightweight, strong suction and long cord. Easy to empty and maintain.

I bought this to replace old one .. it’s a great value and compact but powerful

Love this vacuum, works great for 4 dogs. I would definitely buy this vacuum again and recommend it.

I love my vac it works great and light enough for me to handle!!

I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this. I’m poor so I didn’t really WANT to spend more than $100 on a vacuum unless I just had to for something decent. I’ve never bought one myself before so I wasn’t sure what to get for my floors in particular but this works very well for my carpet and even the tile floors I have. The suction is very powerful, more so than expected. For $60 this is a steal.

The vacuum does a superb job easy to clean afterwards love it makes the carpets seem new .

This is exactly what I had in mind when I was looking for a vacuum cleaner. Its lightweight and easy to use on the wooden floors. It sucks up dust really good and in the corners where it gathers. Very happy with this purchase.

Excellent

Excellent purchase if you focus on suction power (WOW!), lightweight, easy to assemble and great price. Ive used this for a few months now, so I can give a fair review since I use it often (litter box crumbs, bird seed, cat & dog hair). This picks up even litter box crumbs and bird seed off my hardwoods and easily transitions to my thick rugs & carpet. The large dust/dirt canister comes apart fully, so its easy to clean and can be washed. Really appreciate that!! Only concern to be aware of: when the motor is running but the handle is in the upright position, the beater bar continues to spin. This caught up excess fabric on my rug and chewed a hole before I realized it was happening. The vacuums I have owned (and there have been many!) had a shut off mechanism of some sort to prevent the beater bar from spinning when the handle is upright and locked so you can pause to move furniture and lazy husbands out of the way before resuming vacuuming. Not the case here, so you MUST shut it down before leaving it running, or it will damage whatever surface it is on. Again, the benefits of low price, power and lightweight still make this a good buy, so I kept it but was not pleased to discover that. Annoyances for me: The cord will not stay in the hook on the back of the handle so I duct taped mine in place to prevent vacuuming over it continuously. The hose is not nearly long enough to be useful (see picture), and the tools are so small they are also not useful (also pictured). Last bit of whining: the shut off lever (red) is small and under one of the cord wrap hooks and right next to the lock in upright lever (grey) - I do not have big feet but as you can see in the picture, even in bare feet you need to maneuver your foot into that small space - cannot be done with shoes on - and even in bare feet, I often turn off when I was trying to change the position from upright to vacuum position. Hopefully, the manufacturer reads their online reviews and will put money into resolving at least some of these issues. I would be willing to pay more to have that beater bar shut off function in place - its kind of a safety hazard in my opinion. Even with that said - I still like this vacuum. A few revisions would turn my 4 star review into 5 stars plus!

Ive used this compact vacuum cleaner for at least 6-months and I am pleased. It is a really powerful little machine despite the plastic frame-- deceptive. Its the plastic and smallness that keeps it lightweight. In fact, it actually took time to adjust to the lightness since Ive always used heavy vacuum cleaners. The vacuum has a shorter width than large, heavy, traditional vacuums. Not a problem, however, it takes more sweeps to cover the same area. This vacuum does the job efficiently and effectively and that is what counts! One minor issue: the design of the cord wrap could definitely be improved.
