> 24 hourThis thing works great removing pet hair from upholstery. I have 4 gogs that live on my couch. I have a upright vac that has a pet tool that has proven to be worthless. This vac comes with a simple attachment for pet hair that really works. I was able to get my couches clean with half the effort and time I usually spend with my upright vac. It also come wit attachable hose and crevice tool, that work ok, but not as well as I expected. The strength of this machine is pet hair removal.

> 24 hourI ordered this to do my furniture instead of using the attachments in my upright. Does a good job for the size, very powerful and I am pleased. It is a little heavy but that small price to pay instead of dragging out the attachment on my upright. It is more than worth the price.

> 24 hourI needed to replace my handheld vacuum. I was open to buying either a cordless one or one with a cord. I didnt have a strong preference, either way. I luv that it has a long cord (18 foot) & a HEPA filter. The suction is ok & its easy to empty.

> 24 hourAfter just using it a couple times I can say this is one powerful machine. Easy to clean. Way better than the handheld vacs of the old days. Saves your back doing carpeted stairs and efficient for getting around in the car thanks to attachments.

> 24 hourThis hand vac is basically the same as the model 33A1, but also includes an attachable flexible hose, a crevice tool, and a brush attachment. I think the additional flexiblity of this model is worth the extra money because the tools can get into areas that the larger head on the main unit cant. I have 3 cats, two long hair and one short hair, and a long haired dog. The main problem I had was the cat hair. The long hair mats into the furniture, and most vacuums I tried would ball it up and then pick up part of the clump. The short hair pokes into upholstery like so many little spikes. I sometimes wondered if they were barbed at one end to hold them into the upholstery. When I ordered this vacuum, I had high hopes that it would replace the numerous tools that I used to get most of the hair off of furniture. I was not disappointed!! It still takes some time and effort to get all of the hair, but this vacuum does it so much better in much less time. The air venting from the sides of the vacuum hasnt been a problem for me because the hair on the upholstery is not loose and doesnt blow easily. I dont think the purpose of this vacuum is to pick up feathers or dust from a smooth surface. Its purpose is to remove pet hair from furniture. Its very possible that the people complaining about the air vents blowing dust should have bought a hand vac that was designed for a purpose other than getting pet hair off of upholstery. In my opinion, this vacuum works great for the purpose that it was designed for.

> 24 hourReally like this vacuum. I have owned it for two years with no issues. It has plenty of power and does everything I expect it to. I had a battery powered one prior to this and really disliked it because I couldnt get through one set of stairs without it dying on me. That was the reason I purchased this one. The hose is very useful and takes care of the problem some people were complaining about with the air blowing stuff around. I highly recommend spending the extra $10 to get it. We have a cat and a lab and this handles the hair just fine. One note that could improve the product. The cord could be removable near the base of the unit. I know this voided the warranty, but I cut the cord and installed a connector near the base. This allows me to unplug the unit when I need to empty it and not take the entire cord with me. Dont do this if you dont know what you are doing when it comes to electricity. I do that kind of stuff for work. Pros: 1) Powerful 2) Can do one set of 13 stairs before needing to be emptied 3) The attachments are handy 4) Doesnt need to be charged 5) Not to heavy (Average size man in 20s) Cons: 1) Cord was a little cumbersome until I fixed it

> 24 hourIm a full time RVer so space is a premium. Reg. vac is too bulky and battery powered hand-held vac lacks power. This is small, lightweight A/C powered vac is perfect. Plenty of suction to easily hold this 2 board. The Bissel attachments included are great for fabrics, rugs, carpets, crevices. Not included are extension wands, floor nozzle and soft brush duster. So, I decided to buy a generic package of these. The generic floor nozzle with extension wands work great as a floor vac esp. hard surfaces, and the generic duster works for shelving, ceiling corners and tight areas. The only negative is I wish Bissel included these attachments with their vac.

> 24 hourCleans amazingly well for a small vac. Needed something for the pet hair in our cars. This does the trick and quickly!

> 24 hourThis vacuum was so much fun its ridiculous. PROS: -Very powerful for its size. More suction than even many larger vacuum cleaners. -Extremely easy to use: --Ergonomic and lightweight. On/Off button can be reached by the thumb, one handed. --Rubber tip can safely and efficiently clean cloth and the like. --Plastic hose rotates at BOTH ends, so its rarely awkward. --Attachments are quick and easy to swap. A long one, a wider flat one, and a rubber one. -Cord is a decent length and comes with an attached velcro wrap which is very, very useful. -Emptying is a cinch: --Compartment is clear, so you can tell when its time to empty. --Filter is REUSABLE and easy to clean (as far as reusable filters are concerned, anyways.) --Easy to pop off, dump, pop on again. -The entire thing is accessible, so if anything gets clogged it can be fixed lickety-split. -Remarkably inexpensive. -Yellow-orange is cool. Gives it an industrial edge. CONS: -The cord, wrapped up, is about the same weight as the vacuum. Its a little awkward hanging off the side, but its an understandable sacrifice to save the simple and small design of the rest of the cleaner. -Exhaust blows forwards from both sides, which can kick up dust a little; especially if youre cleaning a dry spill. This isnt much of an issue if you use the hose, though. -Gets kinda warm after a few minutes of use. Doesnt ever seem to get really hot, though. Cools off fast too. -Not exactly easy to store, what with its separate attachments and all. Another sacrifice for its simple design. -Doesnt have a light. Fortunately for me, I had a tiny flashlight with a stretchy strap to attach to my finger or the tip of the nozzle. My genius upgrade. Other cons come from it just being a vacuum cleaner. Such as: -Its noisy. Not deafening, though. -Cleaning the filter gets dust everywhere. Do it outside. *cough, cough* -It gets dirty easy, and visibly. So clean it with a little water and a rag, if its even worth bothering. And its small, so its limited in other obvious ways: -It fills up fast, making it ever the more wonderful how easy it is to empty. -It cant do large areas like carpet or big rugs. -It doesnt come with a long tube or brush attachment. -You cant use it standing up. SYNOPSIS: This vacuum is a JOY. Its easy to use, lightning fast and powerful. YOUR STAIRS WILL BE CLEAN. And your corners will be dustless. I loved running around the house hitting all the dust-bunny hot spots; bang, bang, bang. Done. Clean. No questions asked. I leave all the big stuff to my Filter Queen, but with this Cleanview Ill never cut corners again!
