> 3 dayI just received this vacuum a few hours ago, but I dove right in. Right out of the box it was super easy to assemble. The only time I looked at the instruction book was to learn what the height adjustments meant. And it’s a good thing I did because even on the middle (3) setting, it tried to eat a couple of my throw rugs it’s so powerful. So, on to the test drive. I ran my new Bissell over an area that I had just vacuumed yesterday with a “stick” type vacuum. It was easy to maneuver - not heavy and the swivel action was pretty cool (first time with a vacuum that swivels : ) and boy, did this thing suck. I was embarrassed to see how much dirt and dog hair it picked up from an area I thought was “clean”. Dumping the dirt was so easy. I’m used to getting more on me than in the trash. But not with this dirt canister. Even using the attachments was a breeze. I cannot attest to how it will work on a high pile carpet as I don’t have one. But with the demo it gave me today, my guess is that it will work great. The instructions that came with the Bissell showed me not only how to assemble and use the vacuum, it also shows how to clean and maintain it including how to change the belt when/if necessary. And the directions were so clear and easy to follow that even I could figure them out. I suspect I will have this machine for a long time. The bottom line is, if you have dirt (who doesn’t) get this vacuum but especially if you have pets that shed. It really does a great job!

Greater than one weekI bought this to help with pet fur. I have had it over a year now and it still runs great. I like the clear plastic that enables you to easily see how full or where a clog may be. Easy to maintain and empty. Would buy this kind again!

Greater than one weekWe have carpet that’s less than 2 years old but then we got a puppy. She loved peeing in our bedroom on the carpet. We finally got her potty trained but our bedrooms smelled like pee. My husband cleaned the carpet in less than an hour. The water was so gross but the floors were spotless! The drying feature of this carpet cleaning is amazing and the carpet was almost dry by the time he was done.

> 3 dayEasy to use, affordable and works great. After using it for the last couple months I am more than satisfied. If there is a option for the automatic cord wind up other than the manual one get that one. It is so much easier to just step on the thing and have the cord magically roll itself up. Would buy it again .

> 3 dayThis is a great vacuum. My mom has a Dyson and this vacuum picked up more pet hair and dirt than the Dyson. I highly recommend this one!

Greater than one weekI recently adopted a German Shepard and it has been like tumbleweed in the house. This is as good as my Dustin. I needed a second vacuum cleaner for upstairs. I’m old and it’s a little weighty but I can’t stop vacuuming and am amazed at how much hair and et al I pick up everyday. Thank you Bissel.

07-01-2025I was mixed on buying since many reviews showed damage or belt breaking. This is my opinion on those issues. When I used it for the first time, my hand kept getting shocked and almost immediately I detected a burning odor. I shut off the vacuum and realized the rollers were too low for my carpet. I raised the rollers to level 4, second highest and those issues went away. I no longer had a burning odor and my hand wasnt getting shocked any longer. Possibly raising the brush rollers may eliminate the issues other people were having. My previous Dyson, I would have to clean the roller all the time cause dog hair would tangle up on them. This vacuum I have used 3 times now and found only one long hair on the rollers. Very happy with this vacuum.

> 3 dayBissell pet vacuums I have found are super hit or miss. This one is on the better side. It’s suction is good enough and I love the handle that is a hose. All should have that feature as I can’t live without it to reach behind couches and such. It is a bit heavier than I would like. I guess I would prefer it a little smaller to maneuver better. The anti hair wrap does work in this one which is good cause some that had that feature didn’t work for me but this one does.

> 3 dayHands down the best vacuum Ive ever owned. You can SEE the amount of cat hair it sucks up. My boys allergies have decreased significantly. Do yourself a favor and buy it!! You will not regret it! ❤️
