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

You get what you pay for lol, but its not bad for a small area. Works reasonably well. I had a studio apartment, and it did just fine on hardwood or on rugs/carpet.

This vacuum really sucks and for the price is a steal. It is perfect for a small apartment or condo. Best for low pile carpets.

I have a German Shepherd who is a heavy shedder. I have hard wood floors, and this vacuum has the suction to get up the hair easily. It’s small, so easy to store, and lightweight.

ok so I put off for a while with getting a regular vacuum. I originally bought one of them $20 power stick vacuums when I moved into my apartment..then I got a cat back in Dec and it just wasnt powerful enough..not by a long shot..well the picture proves it..just received it and ran it throughout my 300 Sq ft apartment...crazy what the stick vacuum wasnt picking up!!

Does a good job at picking stuff up.

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!

Compact and picks up dirt—- pleasantly surprised by the performance!

This vacuum works as well as my large $300 vacuum. It is comically small.

This vacuum is great, especially for my apartment. Its not really intended for a house perhaps, because of its width, but great for smaller areas like the basement, garage, dorm room, etc. The power is fantastic. Ive been a Hoover user for years and this is more powerful. It is so light, anyone can use it. That means no excuses from the kids doing it as one of their chores. And emptying the canister is just a touch of a button over the trash can. Im very impressed by this vacuum!

Good for light cleaning, picking up spills, a quick vac for the car, etc. I would not use this as a main household vac, just as a side job machine. When using the hose as a hand vac, functionality is limited as the hose is short. Overall pleased with it. If it had a longer hose it would be a 5 based on what you get for the price.
