Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

Needed to replace a very old and very used Dirt Devil. This Bissell proved much better in all respects. Very long cord (thank you!), compact unit, great suction, and best of all VERY easy to clean. You cant beat this unit for the price. Picks up cat hair really well off all surfaces. Highly recommend.

i was happily surprised about how powerful this is. its a little loud but not unexpected for a vacuum. i got it to do a pretty nasty little project which i didnt realize would involve quite fine dirt. the flaw is the white accordion filter got really, really full of the dirt which greatly diminished the suction. i had to take it apart and give the accordion filter a really hard few whacks to dislodge the dirt VERY frequently which made a messy job really intolerably messy. also the crevice tool is really short and not very helpful. i did like the hose feature which did make it easier to reach some areas. for the purpose i bought it involving fine dirt, its not right, but quick jobs or areas that really need a handheld and a long cord, its probably a good match.

I love this!! (Bissell 47R51) Its so easy to use, carry around, switch out attachments, and empty. At first I thought the rubber head attachment was going to be annoying to use and useless, but it is AMAZING at scraping up pet hair from carpet. I shaved my long haired dachshund in a room with a short weave carpet, and when I was done the hair was matted into the carpet all over the place (stupid oversight on my part, I know), but the bumpy rubber head attachment easily cleaned it up beautifully and only took about 5 minutes or so. The side of the HEPA filter that faces the dirt canister gets pretty gross with dirt and dust (the other side of it still looks brand new), and it cant be washed, but I just take it out and wipe it down, tap the edge, and blow out the crevices with an air can and havent had any issues. I dont feel any loss of suction so far, so I probably wont buy a new filter until that starts to happen, which I dont forsee being an issue anytime soon with my moderate use. Theres also a screen that goes over the filter and that part can be rinsed clean with water. The cord is a generous length. The hose attachment is handy and can be used as an open hose end or with one of the other attachments. The handle is a little odd since it faces forward, but the vacuum is lightweight enough that its still easily maneuverable and the design actually makes for easier access to the on/off switch. This is easily the best handheld vacuum Ive ever owned.

Really 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

This little beast is exactly what we needed. We have 3 kitties (4 when I bought it, the 4th was a long-haired) and they take over my bed every time Im not looking, which means there is hair everywhere. To combat the issue, we would de-hair the end of the bed every morning, then pull a lovely flat sheet over the whole thing and occasionally lint roll the flat sheet as well. We had been using the *MAGICAL* Pledge PetHair Remover (pictured here http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71B7dwuq%2BZL._SY355_.jpg) but ours was beginning to wear out and not work as well, so I tried to find another one to replace it but it had been discontinued. I ordered the Lint Wizard Pro to try and replace it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010ONK2K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) and while it did a decent job, it was mostly good for clothes, not the bed. I was just about to order a Costco-sized pack of the disposable lint rollers we know and love so well, but I decided not to keep throwing away money. ENTER THE CLEANVIEW DELUXE. I chose this vacuum because of multiple reports of staggering power, as well as an easy-clean permanent filter and a few attachments. I also love the Bissell brand- I find their products simple, well-made and affordable (I especially love my steam mop!). I had originally viewed the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser (http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Eraser-Handheld-Vacuum-33A1/dp/B001EYFQ28/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1453307516&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=bissell+pet+hair&psc=1) but I wanted the attachments. This thing is a perfect, permanent replacement for my lint roller problem. The only thing I wish it had is a lint brush attachment, and I mayjust have to try to finagle one of my own.

Product arrived this morning. We needed something for doing our carpeted stairs as oposed to lugging the upright beater Hoover over them. We thought this might be the ticket? It was and is! Just a great little easy to handle and powerful vaccum. Found it works best on the carpeted steps using the hose and the flat suction nozzle. We have a little dog. It picked his shed fur also, Very pleased!

Ok. This is only the 2nd review Ive ever written, but felt I needed to. I was skeptical of this vacuum after reading some of the negative reviews. In fact, so much that along with it I bought a tape lint remover and extra rolls. When the vacuum showed up I decided to give it a go. I have a futon and bought a black cover for the mattress so itd match my interior. I have a lamb retriever with redish brown hair. The dude sheds a lot. More so than I thought seeing how much more the hair shows up on the black cover. I tried my shark vacuum with the pet hair attachment that I thought previously worked rather well. Not so much on this black cover. I had to pick up a lint tape roll. It worked better than the vacuum but each time I went through a lot of tape. I fired this thing up with the default rubber attachment on it. One swipe and I was completely amazed. I proceeded to clean the whole thing. Took me less than 5 minutes. I couldnt believe how well it worked! Lots of suction! It completely removed the hair! It was really easy to open the canister to empty it too. No trouble at all. I cant understand where some reviews say they cant use it as a regular hand vac because the vents blow down. Mine appears to blow out both sides. Besides it came with multiple attachments including a decent length hose where if the air did blow down I cant see how it would pose the issues called out in some of the negative reviews if the hose was attached. It worked far better than anything Ive used to date. I packed the lint remover tape dispenser away along with the extra roll replacements. I may just send them back. My experience was no where near that of the negative reviews Ive read. At least for me in my experience, this thing is amazing. Thats why I felt the need to review it.

I bought this for my housekeeper who is an older lady to make vacuuming the carpeted stairs easier. She likes it a lot.

This is a very good vacume . Just what I wanted. My only complaint with it. Is the way it was sent . There was no mailing box with a shipping lable and no way to return it due to a lack of address information or return shipping . So if I had to return it, I wouldnt know where to send it and I would have to pay the postage and a box to return it in. That was a little disappointing to me. The box wasnt even taped shut ! Other wise it is a good product and would recommend it to others. Sincerely Mrs. Mary Villemure

It actually works, has a long cord to get upstairs. Cleans the corners and is lightweight.
