Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

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

I love this little vac SO much...after spending a ton on battery hand-helds that were so swful I thought I was doing something wrong. It is powerful and hugely easy. Love love l9ve

I bought this for our 24-foot RV and it fits the bill! Small enough to store under the sink and light enough to swing it around the space to clean up the dirt that gets tracked in after a long weekend. The attachments are handy for all the corner spots and despite the unit being plastic, seems able to withstand unclipping and clipping the waste receptacle a couple hundred time. Great purchase!

After 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.

I wanted to love this machine, but it just didnt happen. I bought it to use on my stairs, since my regular vacuum is a huge upright that falls over really easily when using the handheld tools. I wanted a corded handheld so that over time, I didnt lose suction power as the battery deteriorated. First issue: the wide attachment has two strips of fabric, one on either side, to help pick up hair. On the first stair, one strip came off. THE VERY FIRST USE! How is this going to last me for years when something falls apart on the first use? There was still some glue residue on the tool, so stuff was getting stuck there instead of being vacuumed up. The second issue I had could easily be overlooked if I didnt have any other problems, but since I did, it was just one more tick against this vacuum. The cord length is very awkward. It is really long for a compact little machine, but just barely too short to clean an entire flight of stairs. I had to pause part-way though the stairs to move the plug to a different outlet, but still took a long time to wrap the cord up, and it takes up just as much space as the handheld itself. The third issue to me is the worst: after one flight of stairs, I had to let it sit for over 2 hours to cool down before I could use it again. I could not believe how hot it got so quickly. Very worrisome. The pro of this handheld is that it did have pretty good suction power, but if you arent using the attachments, you have to hold it at the perfect angle to take advantage of the suction... kind of annoying. Overall, was not impressed with this product, and I dont think it is worth the price. Returned it. Normally, I trust Bissell products, and have replaced this with a different Bissell machine that I am much happier with. I dont have pets, so I cant comment on how well it does with animal hair. Maybe thats all its good for.

sp far I like it

As of November, 2015, this still works perfectly. My biggest complaint at this point is that when I use the hose attachment, the hose is rather stiff, and if you turn the hose a certain way, it makes the whole hand-vac tumble over. I purchased this to replace our previous one that I burned out the motor on. So far, this has done a better job than our previous hand-vac, and the previous one did a good job. We have two cats, one of them being a long-haired cat, and this hand-vac gets the cat hair off the carpet much better. The vacuum comes with several attachments. The standard attachment has rubber nubs on the end and does a good job at picking up the cat hair. There is also a little hose attachment and a piece that attaches to that with a velvety material that does a great job at gathering hair from furniture. In addition, there is also a crevice tool to get into corners well, and works very well on stairs. The hand-vac is a bit noisy, but it gets the job done. I also see why people have complained about the air rushing out the side of the vacuum. You have to be strategic about where you aim the side of the hand-vac, or you may end up blowing all your dust and pet hair around the room while you are trying to pick it up. That being said, it is not difficult to manage that. I do find the handle to be a bit more awkward to hold than our old hand-vac, but not a big con.

I really want to like this vacuum more because it works so well on getting pet hair out of the carpet (I have a rabbit). This is the 3rd vacuum Ive bought to try to help clean up her pen and the wide mouth without any tubes helps with the stray bits of hay too. But the vent on the sides blow up the dust/debris before you can get to it. Its pretty frustrating! Luckily I read reviews knew to put some paper around the vents to re-direct the air (but it felt like it was getting kind of hot). I thought the reviews might be exaggerating, but its strong enough to blow stuff around on carpet and it was especially bad on our hardwood floors. Someone suggested using the tube attachments to get around this, but I want to use the rubber for the hair and I found that hay kept getting stuck in the tube when I tried on a different vacuum--maybe a problem particular to me. Update: I taped cereal boxes around the vents to make them point up and that helps it not blow away fur/dust not make it get hot. I wish it had been designed better at the start!

I needed a compact vacuum with the suction power of a large vacuum. The wired-plug obviously gives this baby more juice and I am satisfied with its performance. I purchased this item solely to clean-up after cat litter being tracked outside the litter-box.

I bought this little sucker based on the other reviews. I actually started out looking at the one without the additional attachments. This one is the same model, just a different color, and for the small amount of money required for the attachments, it was a no brainer. Heres the background: a) I have light colored carpeting throughout my house, and b) I have a black dog who sheds like crazy. I pick up a lot of black hair from my carpets with my regular vacuum cleaner, but have always hated doing the stairway. Lets face it, none of those stair tools ever manage to get all of the hair off of the steps, which makes my stairs look forever hairy. This is the exception! I love the flexible nozzle - you can bend it to fit the front of the stair and into the crevices, and after a few minutes that stair looks pristine! Lets face it, its not a miracle worker, and it is going to take a minute or two per stair, so that adds up. But thats no more time than those stair tools take, and even then you cant get all of the hair up. I bought the product mainly for my stairs, but it appears to work wonders on furniture as well. The additional tools come in handy for that, too. If you have one area where something dry spilled, this would be a good option to pick it up instead of dragging out the big vacuum. All in all, I could not be more pleased! Thank you Bissell, for letting my stairs look amazing again!
