Innovative but Impractical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved that this vacuum was quiet and powerful! It was nice that the low sound output didn’t bother my toddler like a normal stick vacuum, so I found it easier to make time to clean. The headlights and fur finder make it super simple to locate and pickup small debris and the mountain of labrador hair floating around my tile floors - ensuring everything is truly tidy and not just crossing my fingers tidy. It was also so easy to use on the couch! The issue I had was that the dirt cup is minuscule!! For a pet hair vacuum, it was unrealistic. I had to empty it way too many times and became frustrated that the task took so many steps. It is SO COOL that it stands on its own, because I hate leaning a vacuum when having to stop mid task. Unfortunately, the dirt cup size was just a dealbreaker for me. If you a toddler and a teacup chihuahua this may be the vacuum you’ve been searching for!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review, Carla! We’re glad the quiet performance, headlights, and FurFinder feature made cleaning easier around your toddler and Labrador. We hear you on the dirt cup size—your feedback is really helpful and will be shared with our team. If you ever want tips to streamline emptying or explore other BISSELL options, we’re happy to help at support.bissell.com.
Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light and easy to use. I love that you can use it as a stick vacuum or a handheld vacuum. I wish the battery lasted longer. I charge it every two uses and I'm usually sing it for 15 to 20 minutes per cleaning. I live in a large one bedroom apartment and I think this is perfect for that.
Amazing Pet Hair Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum comes with a special head just for pet hair. It has unique bristles/fins that are specifically made to pick up fur. We did the age-old test of using the standard vacuum head on a rug in the living room, and it picked up a tremendous amount of pet hair. We then went over the same rug with the pet-hair-specific head. WOW! The amount of hair and dander/dust that it picked up was actually amazing. The vacuum itself is very well engineered: - the charging/mounting station is easy to mount and convenient - The dustbin is excellent, easy to empty, and not messy - the heads are easy to switch out - the colors and feel of the vacuum are definitely high-end Overall, you can easily tell where the money is going in this machine. It's very well designed, engineered, and actually does what it is marketed to do...pick up pet hair. I couldn't recommend it more!
Decent for the Price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a middle-of-the-line vacuum cleaner, you've found the one. The key phrase here being "middle-of-the-line". Does this vacuum do what it says? Pretty much. Are there better vacuums out there? Absolutely. To me, this vacuum seems like it copied the end-of-the-line vacuum but just made it a little worse so it's more universally affordable. It has the exact same features as the high-end product (even down to the attachments given) but doesn't perform quite as well or have the smart screen with additional information. In fact, there's nothing "technologically cool" about it, as it's completely screen free. Granted that's not a deal breaker for many people, nor does it impact the functionality of the vacuum. But it does lower the "cool-ness" factor by quite a bit. However, I do like that there is a power button instead of a trigger. The battery also doesn't seem to last very long, especially on Max suction power (which I use almost exclusively). It will easily clean 1,000 sq ft in a single charge, but I can already tell the battery life is decreasing with every use. Another annoying thing for me was the charging cord: it is unnecessarily difficult to unplug from the vacuum and is located in a very odd/tight place compared to the handle. I was annoyed every time I needed to unplug it because took some strength and hurt my hand. It also struggles to remove "stuck in" pet hair on furniture and rugs. So if you're looking for a vacuum to clean a rug that has years of dog hair already weaved into it, this is not your vacuum. However, it does a decent job picking up freshly shed hair from furniture and carpets. Overall, this vacuum is good for someone that is starting with a clean home and is not looking for any miracles.
Goodbye fur and dust
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder, and I’m genuinely impressed by how well it balances form and function. First off, the sleek, the self standing design is a major win—it’s lightweight, easy to store, and looks good even when it’s not tucked away. I primarily have hardwood floors throughout the house but have several area rugs. The stick vacuum performs beautifully on both surfaces. I also love using the FurFinder on my cloth couches to collect all the pet hair. Performance-wise, the suction is surprisingly powerful for such a compact device. It handles everything from fine dust to stubborn pet fur on both hard floors and rugs with ease. My two shedding pets usually mean constant cleanup, but this vacuum makes it a quick, satisfying task. One of the standout features is the built-in headlights in the cleaning head. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference—especially under furniture or in dim corners. I’ve spotted more hidden dust and fur than I ever expected. This feature should be standard on all vacuums. The battery life is decent, charging is straightforward, and the detachable canister is easy to empty without a mess. If you’re looking for a stylish yet highly functional vacuum that doesn’t miss a spot—literally—this one’s a solid choice. Thank you Stellar Product Review Panel for the opportunity to test this product.
My Favorite Stick Vac Yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned many cordless stick vacuums over the years, and the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is hands-down my favorite. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed. The setup was quick and easy, and the vibrant blue color immediately stood out—it actually made me excited to start cleaning! Performance-wise, it well surpassed my expectations. One of the biggest highlights for me is the motorized pet tool. I used to dread cleaning my couch because non-motorized tools just didn’t cut it, and I’d have to use the main floor nozzle (which felt pretty gross). But this attachment is powerful and effective—it made my couch look and feel brand new. My wife even said “wow, you can really feel the suction on this.” It got all the bet hair! I was a initially skeptical about how it would handle hardwood floors without a soft brush roll, but it picked up both large and small debris effortlessly. Same with carpet, no problem at all. And the headlights? Game-changing. Even the motorized pet tool had headlights! They lit up every bit of dust, hair, and grime you wouldn’t notice with the naked eye. The self-standing design is nice and thoughtful. As someone living in an apartment, I do wish it folded more compactly and then self stood like some competitors, but overall, having it stand on its own is a huge plus. Emptying the dust cup is a bit more involved than some competitors — you need to remove the dust cup, take off the filter/cyclone, and then dump the debris. Still, the process is fairly clean and controlled, which I appreciate. If I had one small critique, it’s the charger. It feels a bit flimsy, and a portion of the metal jack is exposed when plugged into the battery. But that’s a minor issue in an otherwise stellar experience. In short: excellent power, smart features, and great attention to detail—especially for pet owners. I highly recommend it!
Lock and Load
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a great product overall. Having used multiple battery operated vacuums in the past, the FurFinder is an easy to use product with some fantastic features. My favorite feature was the easy unload option once the vacuum was filled. In a house with two small children and two pets, we have plenty of small things and fur that needed to be unloaded quickly and it was the easiest of all the vacuums I've ever used which is super helpful. My only gripe is that I could use a little more power. There are three different speed or power modes on the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder and while you can tell there is a difference, I would like a but more juice personally. (Maybe I just need cleaner kids) While I know it won't ever be as strong as a corded vacuum, a little extra would go a long way. The lights on the front of the vacuum are great as well, helping to see what is in front or if there is something that I don't want sucked up, and overall, I am very pleased with the product as a whole. The ease of use was definitely my favorite feature and it will replace all other products that were previously being used.
Above and Beyond
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissel PowerClean FurFinder goes above and beyond! I have two small kids and a white German Shepherd puppy that seems to be shedding year round. I cannot say enough about the brilliance of adding the FurFinder Headlights to the design. I simply didn't realize how much hair I was missing because we have light colored laminate flooring. With the headlights, it's easy to find all of the fur. The stick vac picks up on the first pass as well (which is a huge plus!). I've used it on the laminate, carpet, and rug and because it has easy control settings (low, medium, high), it's really easy to find the setting that works best for any flooring. Between the kids and the dog, this thing is at least half full every time I run it, so I also appreciate the easy empty canister. I have even used the supporting attachments to clean our patio furniture. It does a great job of getting all those white dog hairs off of my navy blue patio set. Lastly, it's easy to maneuver into challenging areas (underneath the dining table and between the chairs) and I love the self-standing design because I'm pretty consistently interrupted by my kiddos so can easily pause, stand it up and take care of business.
Daily Fur Upkeep Solution
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While not a full service vacuum for deep cleaning the whole home, this stick vacuum is well made and effective for daily upkeep, especially of pet fur, and I enjoy using it! The battery life is plenty long for quick cleans throughout the day, the vacuum is small and lightweight enough for easy use and storage, and it is effective on hardwood, carpet, and rugs. I appreciate the ability to hang it on the wall for storage and charging. My favorite features include (1) the headlights that reveal even more fur on my floor than I knew was there (and the mini headlights on the FurFinder tool!), (2) the 3-in-1 versatility so that I don’t need to store an additional handheld vacuum or extension piece, (3) easy emptying and no tangles in the brush roll. Some of the ways this vacuum fall short for me are (1) the strength of suction, which could remove fur well enough but not anything more substantial or solid, (2) the FurFinder tool which did a decent job on my upholstered chair but could not remove any of the fur stuck to the fabric undersides of my leather couch cushions, and (3) the vacuum’s tendency to fall over due to being top heavy (though it can stand freely, as long as you don’t bump it!). Overall, this vacuum is more accessible for daily fur upkeep than my regular vacuum so I’m more prone to grab it for a quick clean which has already helped my home stay more fur-free!
The Best Vacuum Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The name of the vacuum says it all, it truly is a fur finder. Truly crazy how much of a difference the headlight makes in making it easier to see everything you are vacuuming. It almost makes vacuuming fun and challenges you to make sure you get everything since it makes it so easy to see. I love the self standing design and you don’t have to worry about propping it up against anything. The battery charges fast and lasts a good amount of time. 95% of my house is hardwood and it works great. Little hard to push on the one rug we have but seems to do the job! It also comes with multiple attachments so you can use it on more than just your floors. The collection container is easy to empty and doesn’t make a mess. Truly a 10/10 vacuum and would suggest to anyone!
