Customer reviews for Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Deluxe with Extra Battery forExcellent vacuum but with heavy top part
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love so much about this vacuum: 1) It works great and the dust and dirt gets sucked up quickly and clearly 2) The light helps you see exactly what you've gotten when under furniture or just in low lighting 3) The light is a big draw for kids so my girls will vacuum with this one, and actually vacuum decently well 4) Using the vacuum is intuitive, I needed the manual a minimal amount for set up or changing out attachments. Buttons seem clear 5) Emplying the dirt bin is also intuitive and easy so you are ready to vacuum again. We could vacuum several rooms/several times without issue 6) The vacuum moves swiftly and easily around furniture and into corners and under things. 7) The vacuum is sleek and sits in a corner and charges quickly A few things I did not love: 1) The top with the motor and dirt bin is heavy, which does create some issues if I'm trying to vacuum in the car and using the smaller attachments. It is not always as portable as you need that part whatever you do. 2) The charging cord is long instead of a stand. I've used ones with stands that are a little nicer to look at if you have to plug it in away from where you store it. You can anchor a spot to store it on the wall right near the plug, but if for some reason your plug isn't close to where you want to stand it, the cord is a little more noticeable. 3) The long stick part can be a little harder to detach so you don't use it when vacuuming in smaller spaces or taking it out to the car The things I did not love were much more minor. Overall, it's a great vacuum that handles our heavy vacuum needs well. We get rid of hair and fur without getting caught in any gears (minimal clean up of the vacuum itself is required). The tangle-free brush roll seems to remain truly tangle free, and both our girls have long hair. Glitter, snacks, dirt, everything imaginable ends up on our floor, and this vacuum seems to get everything with just a few passes. The girls themselves can use the vacuum (3 and 5 years old) and actually accomplish some real cleaning.
Goodbye pet hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have never thought that a cordless stick vacuum could be as powerful as my corded upright vacuum! Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is packed with thoughtful features that make it easy to keep my home free of dust—and more importantly—seemingly never-ending dog fur. The lights that turn on automatically with the vacuum are a game-changer, revealing every bit of dust, debris, and pet hair so nothing gets missed. The included FurFinder tool makes removing embedded hair from my couch a breeze! One of my biggest frustrations with cordless vacuums has always been forgetting to plug them in, but the wall-mounted charging dock solves that issue completely. As soon as the vacuum is hung up, it starts charging—no extra steps needed. I also love that it stands up on its own without needing to lean on furniture. With all the hair my dog, daughter, and I shed, we’ve had constant issues with hair tangling in vacuum rollers, but so far, i haven’t had any issues with this rollerbrush. That said, the base of the floorhead, which allows it to stand upright, is a bit too bulky for cleaning under low furniture or platform beds. Also, while the crevice tool with the attached brush is great for cleaning baseboards, I wish the brush could either be removed or securely locked in place when not in use.
Really sucks in all good ways
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just had our first baby and are so happy to have gotten this before he’s crawling amongst our two dogs! The popular name brand stick vacuum we’ve used for years picks up about half of what this one does, and it cost 3 times what this one is priced at! This Bissell made our rugs look brand new and worked really well on the hardwood floors too. It’s a bit heavier than our other one but still light enough to easily travel up and down the stairs or to get up on various furniture pieces. Also love that it has a light (it’s so gratifying to see all the dirt right before you pick it up!), is self standing and has an on/off power switch instead of having to continuously hold down a button for power (my mom has arthritis and could never use our other vacuum because of that). And for being so powerful it isn’t very loud so I can use it while baby and dogs are in the room and they aren’t bothered by it. My only critique is that the dirt collector/bin is pretty small so I have to empty it often.
A Must-Have for Pet Owners – Tackles Black Lab Fur with Ease!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With two black labs who shed nonstop, keeping up with pet hair can feel like an impossible task—but this vacuum handled it with ease! I was immediately impressed with how well the PowerClean FurFinder performed across different surfaces. It transitioned seamlessly from hardwood floors to rugs and carpets, picking up fur and debris without scattering it. The tangle-free brush roll was a major win—no more stopping mid-clean to cut out wrapped-up hair! The FurFinder tool was a lifesaver for my furniture. We have an upholstered headboard with fabric baseboards and side panels—so much black lab hair! The tool made it incredibly easy to remove embedded fur, and the sideboards have never been cleaner. The headlights on the FurFinder head were another great feature, illuminating hidden fur and dust in low-light areas. In terms of ease of use, this vacuum is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and the self-standing design makes storage a breeze. No more awkwardly propping it up or worrying about it tipping over! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stick vacuum in exchange for an honest review.
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!
Fantastic portable vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have loved using our new Bissel PowerClean Fur Finder! It has been an easy addition to our home with two young boys and our GoldenDoodle dog. It is lightweight, portable. Features we love are the good battery life, easy to install charging and storage station and especially the light has been a major upgrade to making sure we don’t miss any spots on carpet or hard wood, especially helpful for dark surfaces or under furniture! We also found the self standing feature helpful as my wife and I are constantly cleaning up after our busy household. The portable design allows one of us to easily take out for a quick vacuum or move to multiple floors around the house. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic Stick Vacuum Exceeds Expectations
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with this stick vacuum! Right out of the box, it was a breeze to assemble and charged up quickly. I have a mix of carpet, rugs, and LVP flooring, and it performed beautifully on all surfaces. One of my favorite features is the built-in headlight—it’s incredible how much dust and pet hair it reveals that you’d otherwise miss. It makes a noticeable difference in how clean my floors feel. I also appreciate that it stands upright on its own, which is super convenient when I need to move furniture or take a break without worrying about it tipping over. That feature also makes storage quick and simple. Overall, it’s a powerful, versatile vacuum that’s made cleaning a lot more efficient and satisfying.
It sucks in a great way it one impressive vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down the best cordless stick vacuum I have ever used! If you’re in the market for a cordless vacuum that packs a pretty strong wallop then the Bissell PowerClean Furfinder is the way to go. From the moment you take it out of the box and assemble it you can tell it’s going to be easy to use. It’s extremely light and stands up on its own. Other stick vacuums tend to be top heavy but this unit stands up perfectly. Also it’s simple to use, just turn it on with the push of one button and an additional button to control the three speeds. It’s light enough and so easy to use my 12 year old didn’t complain when she had to vacuum the stairs with it. The biggest thing you will notice about this vacuum, besides the powerful suction, is the headlights. The lights illuminate the ground in front of you like an SUV traveling down a dust filled highway. This worked really well to spot vacuum our cat’s hair out of our dark carpet and area rugs. Speaking of pet hair the suction on the vacuum does an amazing job cleaning up after our cat. In addition the Furfinder tool is a perfect accessory for this vacuum. It perfectly picked up pet hair off of our upholstered couches leaving them looking and feeling like new. What makes the accessories even more invaluable is the fact they all attach perfectly to the wall mount making an easy to use vacuum even more convenient by keeping everything together. Whether it’s a full carpet, area rug, or a hard surface you’re going to get a near perfect clean every time! I can’t recommend this vacuum enough! Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
Decent Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum does a decent job as a regular vacuum. As a "pet hair" specific products it was sub-par compared to others I have used. Its not too noisy so that is a plus, but the weight is a little bit too heavy for my taste. Overall, I'd give it a three out of five since I didn't see any noticeable difference when tackling pet hair.

Excellent tool in my cleaning arsenal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Furfinder stick vacuum is a ln excellent addition to my home which includes a 14 year old Border Collie dog! The lightweight design helped me to reach places that I never did with my other vacuum - the stairs, under furniture, under kitchen counters. My dog’s hair did not get stuck in the brush roll which used to slow me down with my other vacuum. I found myself using this vacuum more often because of how well it works and how easy it is. I am convinced that it worked so well with pet hair and dander as my allergy symptoms lessened as well.
