I would recommend this to friends
I love how it goes under the furniture. The light on it found the dust that was under the furniture. It's lightweight and easy to store
Better than we expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product by Stellar Product Testing Company in return for an honest review. Before receiving this vacuum we used a cheap stick vacuum and a "smart" robot vacuum to keep our main floor clean (mostly laminate, a couple of rugs, one carpet room) and occasionally would bring the full size vacuum downstairs for a deeper cleaning and the couch. No more! This vacuum is great for quick spot cleaning as well as a full floor cleaning and I feel it does ALMOST as well as the full sized vacuum due to the roller brush, but it's just slightly too small for some debris on the floor. What I love: the ease for switching from vacuum to pole to handheld, the ease of using the handheld to clean the couch (compared to an attachment on the vacuum hose and having it fall all over), and it's remarkably quiet for a powerful vacuum What I would like to see improved: the battery life could be better, it almost isn't enough for our main floor (especially if we need turbo)
Best Stick Vac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this stick vacuum to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have 3 kids under 6 years old and a 65lb dog so this vacuum has been used almost daily. I previously had another brand name stick vacuum. After receiving this vacuum, my old one was given away to someone else. This vacuum was able to pick up much more than any previous stick vacs. It could pick up dog food off my kitchen floor and dog hair off my area rugs. My previous vacuum could not pick up dog food or cheerios. The headlights were more helpful that I thought they would be for getting all the crumbs in tight corners and under the kitchen table. It stands up by itself which I've never had a stick vac do before and it was so much better than having to find a wall to prop it on when in between vacuuming. It has a wall mount to charge but I chose not to mount it because we are moving soon. It still can have the mount on it so it charges while standing without it being mounted to the wall without any issues. The tangle-free roll brush was indeed tangle-free while still being able to pick up dog hair much better on the rugs than previous vacuums. This vacuum has 3 different power settings and they are perfect. The middle was great for the hard floors, lowest power was able to get my area rugs without them being sucked up into the roller (all while still getting the dog hair out), and the highest power was great for the carpeted rooms. Our dog spends a good portion of the day in our kids' rooms and this vacuum got the dog hair out of their carpet without me having to pull out the corded vacuum. The weight of a vacuum isn't a huge concern for me but this vacuum feels very light and easy to maneuver. I used it many times with one hand while my 1 year old was in my other arm. I didn't use the furfinder attachment because we only have leather couches and no stairs but when we move and have stairs, I'm sure it will be extra helpful!
Great everyday vacuum for all surfaces
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a great everyday vacuum for anyone with pets or small kids! We have hard wood and carpets and the vacuum works well on all surfaces. I appreciated that the vacuum rolls smoothly on various surfaces due to the nice rubber wheels. The head of the vacuum maneuvers and swivels easily to navigate hard-to-reach areas and around furniture. I particularly like the lights which illuminates fur, hair and dust - especially in darker areas and in corners. It comes with a great attachment for furniture that makes it easy to vacuum up debris on the couch, chairs, etc. The standing feature makes it really easy to pause vacuuming and come back to it later, or store the vacuum. The battery life has also been impressive! You can easily get through a cleaning job without worrying about the battery running out. Overall, I highly recommend this vacuum as your go-to daily vacuum! As a busy mom with small kids- I love it and all the features!
Great lightweight vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a cat owner with two constantly-shedding furballs and a busy toddler boy who seems to leave crumbs in every room, I need a vacuum that can actually keep up with the mess—and this stick vac has truly impressed me. From the start, it was easy to assemble and super lightweight, which made it a breeze to carry from room to room, even while juggling everything else in our home. I also really appreciate the FurFinder Headlights. I didn’t expect to care much about them, but they actually made a big difference. They lit up all the little bits of fur and dust I would’ve totally missed, especially under the coffee table and in corners where fur tends to pile up. The self-standing design is my favorite part, especially when I have to pause mid-clean to grab a toy or chase after my toddler. And the tangle-free brush roll? Amazing. Not having to stop and untangle long hair or fur from the roller has saved me time and frustration. Overall, this vacuum has made cleaning up after two cats and a toddler easier—and that’s saying a lot!
Lightweight and easy to maneuver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With 3 children under 6 and a cat, I'm feel like I'm constantly vacuuming some space in my house. I was really happy that the Bissell Power Cleaner FurFinder is a stick vac which means it is cordless and lightweight. I can use it on the stairs and furniture with ease. I found it to work the best on the hardwood floors. Even after I increased the power on the carpet, it still struggled a bit to pick everything up. Some things I really liked about the vacuum was the headlights made it so easy to see everything under my dining room table and hiding in corners of the room, it had a light that flashed when something was stuck in the rollers so I knew to stop and check, and the free standing design means I can leave it out in the corner without worrying about it falling over. I often choose to leave it out in the dining room because that is where we need to use it so frequently!
Best Vacuum For Dog Owners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a multi surface home with laminate, carpet, and rugs with two dogs, a Boxer and a Dalmatian. The Dalmatian sheds a TON of hair and most vacuums don’t quite get the job done, especially on the couch. The stick vac was awesome with the light! In comparison to the other vacuums I’ve had, I got a much more thorough clean of the laminate floors with being able to see all the hair and dust. The FurFinder tool was the real game changer. It made a noticeable difference in the time and efficiency of cleaning our couch. The embedded hairs are always very difficult to get and take a lot of effort but the tool got the job done so much easier. Overall, the vacuum and attachments were super user friendly and the self standing feature makes it easy to move between rooms and tasks without having to find somewhere to lean the vacuum against in hopes my toddler doesn’t knock it over on herself or break it! Highly recommend this product.
Versatile and Convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a great, compact vacuum that can be used all over the house. We have lots of different surfaces around the house and this vacuum did a great job on all of them. It really shines with getting hair and other debris out of rugs and upholstered furniture. It also feels really sturdy and well made. The fur finder tool was excellent for cleaning my upholstered furniture. We have two big dogs, cats, and three kids and the fur finder tool was so effective at getting the hair and other debris off furniture, carpet, and even in the car! It was really easy to use and maneuver around as well, so I found myself wanting to use it more because I can just pick it up, click in the attachment and not be hindered by cords or lugging around a big bulky vacuum that just has a hose and only reaches a short distance from the main unit. The Bissell PowerClean is very convenient! We have some very rough textured slate tile floor that has always been really hard to clean with any vacuum, but the fur finder headlights were really nice for illuminating all the hair, dirt, and other gross stuff camouflaged on the floor! This vacuum also glided over the texture of the floor easily, whereas other vacuums I’ve had bounce and get stuck. I did have to use the highest suction on my hard surface floors which was adequate with a couple passes, but the medium suction was enough for upholstery and rugs most of the time which allows for more cleaning time out of the battery charge. A couple other really nice features about this vacuum are the battery life seems to be adequate for a whole house surface clean or a more thorough deep clean, like cleaning a big sectional couch top to bottom. The free standing design is also something I really appreciate. Having had others that you need to prop up just right or they fall over really made me love this feature of the Power Clean. The design of the tangle free brush roller was helpful too because I never had to stop cleaning to untangle the roller brush and it is really effective at raking out hair and debris from rugs and upholstery. The canister is easy to empty and the filter is also easy to keep clean. Everything is really accessible.
Amazingly Useful Stick Vac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to vacuums, I've found that they come in two varieties: stick vacs that are convenient, yet weak, and monster corded vacuum units that are powerful, but a hassle to manage and store. I feel that this PowerClean FurFinder is the best compromise of both worlds. It is light, thin and easily portable, but it works surprisingly well and doesn't seem limited in any regard. I have other vacuums. Bigger, stronger vacuums. But this has been the unit I keep coming back to on a day to day basis. It's especially useful on hardwood/laminate/smooth floors, where the light on the unit really shines, and makes it easy for me not to miss anything. When I'm done, I simply empty the canister and pop it back in. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I feel the battery life could be a bit better. Thankfully, it's easily and quickly charged. And if you are a responsible adult and do a little vacuum once or twice a day and only need it for a few minutes, you'll have no problem. But I tend to get lazy and then do a mass vacuum of the entire house. I can usually manage 20-30 minutes on the highest power setting. More than that, and I run the risk of it dying and needing a charge. So that's a drawback that I feel could be easily rectified with a slightly more potent battery. That being said, this thing is marvelous, does its job well, and comes with a number of attachments, all of which I've found useful. It's easy to pull out on a moment's notice and get to work, before popping it back in storage. Just make sure to stay on top of your cleaning! Highly recommend this unit!
Super handy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Short review: Buy it. Long review: I opened the box and thought the vacuum looked and felt a little cheaper than other stick vacuums I’ve had before. That is really my only “complaint.” The headlight is my favorite feature! I have mostly wood and tile floors so I turn the lights off and the vacuum light shows me exactly where I’ve been and where I’ve missed. I love how easily it comes apart. You can step on the lever to detach the vacuum head to get in corners or behind things. I can have a baby on my hip and still get my vacuuming done! It’s light weight; my kids love being able to help vacuum! I like being able to see how much stuff I’m sucking up and when I need to dump the bin. The charge lasts for multiple rounds of cleaning. I’m not sure I’ve used my upright vacuum since getting this one. I can get from one end of the house to the other without having to stop to unplug and plug it back in multiple times! I also love the holder— I don’t have to dig through the closet anymore for attachments! The little fur finder attachment works wonders on the couch. I wish I had pictures! The head is also low enough it can get clear under my coffee table and my media center without having to move either one. I hope this stick vacuum lasts for a long time, because I’m a big fan!
