Customer reviews for BISSELL Cordless Stick Vacuum with Removable Battery forLightweight Vacuum for LIghtweight Jobs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Powerlifter Turbo Cordless Stick vacuum is a good lightweight vacuum for lightweight jobs. Will it replace your main vacuum for all messes? No, but it is great for the quick cleanups and small tasks or just maintenance cleaning. It is easy to carry up and down the stairs and charges quickly. Happy to have in my cleaning arsenal!
So easy that your husband will clean more often
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! My initial expectations when using a cordless vacuum is two things 1. the battery life and 2. how strong is the suction power on it. For the first one I am extremely impressed with its battery life, it is a bit heavier than let's say a regular vacuum but it does hold a much longer battery life which means not having to charge it as often and it is ready to go. We use it every day in our kitchen and in the dogs back room where they eat and sleep. As it is Fall they are still shedding a lot and both of our dogs are messy eaters, in other words we have to clean up dog food from the floor every day and bending over with the hand vac was starting to bother our backs. The only advice I would give on battery is the lack important information such as % of battery life. 2. Strong suction based on what level setting you use. We used 2 for our hardwood floors and 3 for carpet and car cleanups, we have a toddler so the backseat has been filled with goldfish throughout the week. I think the LED lights on the display are a nice touch with each setting to indicate what level you are at suction wise. Also, shockingly quiet! My wife does most of the cleaning, but I have enjoyed using it so much she made a comment for the first time that I have been jumping in to clean up more often and she is wishing we got this a long time ago. It is not heavy and easy to maneuver with the full stick attached for floors or as a traditional hand vac for smaller spots. The fact that it comes with different heads makes this vacuum more versatile than a traditional hand vac but without the weight of a full on heavy vacuum where you are dragging the vacuum and the cord. Honestly, that is why I probably like using it so much and offering to help more. It is easy to use and gets the job done. My request is that since it is difficult to store because of it's size/shape and could benefit from a wall mount kit. Would be great if
Terrible Battery Life
Decent cordless vacuum for the price but the battery life is AWFUL and it takes forever to charge. The 2AH 24V it comes with it flat out pitiful and Bissell doesn't even give you the option to buy a bigger name branded AH battery so now I'm torn on if I want to purchase another tiny $50 Bissell battery as a backup or go with another 24V with a higher AH and run the chance on ruining the vacuum.
The Little Vacuum That Could
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the Bissel PowerLifter Turbo through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and found it to be a wonderfully useful and practical cordless vacuum. Having used other cordless vacuums, Bissel really is a league of their own. What I really enjoy about the PowerLifter Turbo was the versatility of use and the ease of transition from function to function. While cleaning up from dinner, I easily move from vacuuming the floor to table with two easy pushes of a button. I really love the crevice tool, which makes cleaning my stovetop and car a breeze. The PowerLifter Turbo is great for the hair my daughters leave behind and even vacuumed my carpet better than my plugin vacuum. Furthermore, I can't believe how easy it is to clean our carpeted stairs. The only drawback we noticed was that (and by we, I mean my wife and mother-in-law), most of the weight of the vacuum is located close to the trigger and is not distributed lower to the floor like other cordless vacuums. While the components are PowerLifter Turbo are light weight and I had no issues using it, my wife felt that it was heavy. However, after about 25 minutes, the PowerLifter Turbo needs to be charged. Overall, the PowerLifter Turbo is quiet (much quieter than our other cordless vacuum by a factor of 10), easy to use, rich with settings, including three power modes (the highest is helpful to remove ingrained hair from carpet) and easy to clean with quick release buttons and convenient placement of the filter to clean. I highly recommend that you add the Bissel PowerLifter Turbo to your clearning arsenal - your dirt won't see it coming.
Depends on your needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bissell sent me the Powerlifter Turbo Cordless Stick Vacuum for free in order to review it. I already own a Makita solid white cordless stick vacuum so I was able to compare the two side by side. I have a mostly hard floor with one large rug in the living room. My Makita isn't strong enough to pick up much from the rug but the Powerlifter did an amazing job even on the low setting. The Powerlifter is heavier than the Makita and maneuvering it around the house wasn't as easy. If you need something very lightweight, don't have carpet or many rugs, and mostly use it for light/daily vacuuming then the Makita might be better for you. But if you have rugs/carpet, don't mind the extra weight, and have bigger messes to clean up then the Powerlifter is what you need. We have an average sized home and the Powerlifter didn't run out of battery prematurely. It has an easy switch to dump the dust out from the container without having to get your hands dirty. I'm glad I no longer have to pull out my old corded Bissell for the rug, cordless is definitely much more convenient.
Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm going to keep this as short, sweet and to the point as possible. I expected more from something claiming to have more suction power than Shark... Simply not the case... No suction power what so ever it takes multiple passes to get ALMOST everything picked up... Something the size of a cheerio can clog this thing up and finally THE BATTERY.... The absolute WORST!! Claims to last up to 45 mins but in reality only lasts about 10ish minutes before it's gotta charge again... I can never complete a room before having to charge it again... As a single mom this was a blow, it wasn't cheap and I really needed something that was going to work... Unfortunately was not the case.... Hopefully my warning can prevent the same from happening to someone else.

Great for Floors and messes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Bissell Turbo Cordless for a few weeks now on my kitchen tiles and floors, and so far, it has been working great. It's easy to use and works well. It's great for a quick clean when you don't have time to haul a big vacuum. I always use it on the high settings to pick up the dirt and debris off the floor. The battery lasts a good amount for my whole house downstairs, so it works out well for me. I ended up getting this cordless vacuum as part of a promotion to try it, and so far, I am liking it; it does the job it is intended to do. I would recommend this vacuum, especially for someone who has hard floors, and the price is very reasonable for a brand-name vacuum.
Not as nice as I thought it would be.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Bissell PowerLifter Turbo stick vacuum as part of the Stellar testing panel. At first, I really loved this thing! It is very powerful and my favorite part is the light on the front so you can really see dirt and dust on the ground, especially hard floors. The weight of the vacuum is pretty good too; it's very easy to push around and somewhat easy to hold up and get sides of walls and ceilings. It also disassembles into several parts, making it super easy to use in the car. The major issues with this vacuum, the reasons I took off 3 stars, is because the battery life on this thing is terrible. I mean like it is pretty much unusable kind of terrible. It would take more than an hour to charge up the battery and it would last about 15-20 minutes. When I vacuum, I generally like to get it done within a reasonable amount of time, not have to constantly keep stopping to charge the battery. I understand it not being for large rooms or full houses, but it needs to last longer. I would sacrifice some of the lightness for a larger battery. The other reason I took off stars is because of the filter/dust tank set up. I probably dumped the tank onto the ground at least 5 times while testing the vacuum, which isn't fun when you're vacuuming in a rush so the battery doesn't die for the 100th time. The tank being fairly small and the filter being what it is, I would need to dump it every couple of minutes and that is definitely too often. So overall, 2 stars are taken for the battery life and 1 star is taken for the dust tank. This vacuum seemed so perfect for my situation when I first unpacked it but after extensive use, I found it all bells and no whistle.
Hi Joshua. Thanks for your feedback. This stick vacuum has 30 minutes of run-time and takes 4.5 hours to fully recharge. If we can help with any concerns in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us at support.bissell.com.
Amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incase you're wondering like I was. It comes with the battery, charger, wall mount, extra filter and attachments. Its exactly as described. A light weight cordless vacuum with good suction. In regards to the battery life you can clean an apartment with one charge. If you're cleaning every crack and crevice or you have a full size house buying a separate additional battery would be necessary. Its just not possible to have long battery life, good suction and a lightweight vacuum. Simply just vacuum your house and see if you need an additional battery later on.
Best stick vacuum I've had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my free Powerlifter Turbo cordless stick vacuum to try out and review and I was so excited. Ive had trouble with other cordless vacuum just not working well or breaking easily. But this one has been amazing so far! I have a big family with 4 kids running around playing sports and getting dirty and that dirt always comes into the home. I needed a strong vacuum that was easy to use every day and this is it!! It's very lightweight but durable! Its suction power is unlike other cordless vacuums. I can take it from my hard wood floors to my rugs with ease and it works just as good! It is a little louder than others I've had, but I'll take that for how good this vacuum works. It comes with mounting equipment but I haven't mounted it yet. I guess this is a downside, I'm not sure I want to mount it. It leans against the wall fine, but a stand to hold it up would if been nicer. To use it as a hand held vacuum for small areas or your couches is very easy to do and the clips seem strong to hold up doing so over and over again. It is easy to dump and reconnect.
