Convenient Easy Made Well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of my new vacuum is that it just looks nice. The blue metal of the stick is a fun shade. It also seems to have solid, quality construction. Maybe I'll be inspired to take extra good care of this one just so it keeps looking nice? It's very easy to assemble and switch out parts. I appreciate the built in crevice tool on the handheld part and the stick part. I can do a quick spot cleaning without the hassle of remembering to bring all the parts I need. The light on the roller attachment is BRIGHT. No chance of missing anything with that light. And the FurFinder tool is STRONG. My son had trouble lifting it off the cushion when he took a turn with it. But it is very effective. The overall weight of the vacuum is great. I had surgery that left me with a weeks-long lifting restriction, but I could still use this vacuum. It's easy to care for. Easy to empty the canister. I got a clog, which tends to happen easily with these styles of vacuums, but it was super easy to clear the clog. Other fun facts: to charge from a dead battery, it took about 3 hours. Without the stick, the vacuum is the perfect size for kids.
A Powerful and Flexible Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder for a few weeks, and overall, I’m really pleased with its performance—especially when it comes to picking up pet hair and dust. The vacuum truly lives up to its name. It picks up our dog’s fur and other dust with ease, making a noticeable difference. The built in lights make the chore of vacuuming much easier as well, revealing debris I wouldn’t normally see, and it also has great maneuverability, making it easy to clean under couches and cabinet doors with low clearance. I like how modular the vacuum is, making it easy to detach parts and convert it into a handheld vacuum for tight spaces or car seat cleaning. It performs well on both hard and soft surfaces, though I don’t find it as effective on a shaggy rug in our bedroom. Finally, it is very stable when standing and being stored, unlike other stick vacuums I’ve had that fell over easily. The one thing that I wish was better is the battery life. It requires charging after 3 to 4 uses of just 5 to 10 minutes each. The battery indicator light is also a bit confusing as it never appears to show it fully charged. Overall, the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a highly effective and well designed vacuum—particularly for pet owners or those like me with particularly dusty homes. Its strong suction, helpful lighting, and smart design features make cleaning much easier and less of a chore!
Admirable Contender in the World of Vacuums
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know how it is, our beloved fur babies hair are invisible until you get up from the couch and your pants have taken on the roll of a lint finder as you carry around a ton of dog hair from one spot to another. Enter the FurFinder: let's break down the pros and cons Pros: -Easily maneuverable: whether you are turning a tight corner or narrowly navigating around pet beds, kids magnatile masterpieces, or on various mediums of surfaces, the FurFinder does this with ease! My home is a medley of hardwood floors, multiple mediums of rugs and carpet and, and 2 different types of tile. The turn power of the stick is lovely but what's even better is the ability to take the bumps and run over hardwood to tile, tile to rug, rug to hardwood and so on! No more smashing, snagging, lifting, (or muttering curses)! -The light on the head is soooo useful! I love sliding the vacuum under the edge of the couch or under the dining table, random chairs, inside the darkened closets and using that light to see where I'm cleaning and what I'm cleaning! -Stands on it's own- let's not overlook this convenience of the fact that the FurFinder can stand on it's own, does not require fancy wall attachment gadgets to be stored, will not fall out of the storage closet with parts and hose bouncing in all directions (the kids toys do this enough, thank you very much) -Cleaning is a breeze on hardwood and tile and rug/carpet surfaces, I can see the dust/fur/dander picked up and collected. And while it's a bit embarrassing how much I'm seeing get pulled into the vacuum, it's so satisfying at the same time! Cons: -Power is decent but my fur babies have small sharp fur that will weave it's way into the couch or soft surfaces/flooring and you do need to run over these sections multiple times to get the stubborn bits! -Battery length is short lived: by context using full power on the surfaces I have is an average of two 30 min sessions at max power before I need to juice up, so I do feel I need to keep this constantly plugged in. Maybe if I play around with the power settings it could last longer but this has been my experience thus far -Removing and dumping the accumulated trash was initially hard to do and I recommend you do it over the trash can to avoid accidents. It just sticks a bit and requires some jiggling and effort to pull out to dump. Overall this is a 4 out of 5 stars for me and I'm the pros def outweigh the cons. I'm a big fan of the results of the FurFinder. My child has seasonal allergies and dust allergies and since we are well into spring we've def noticed less allergy episodes which we are crediting the work of the FurFinder. We will certainly continue to use it!
Great vacuum for animal lovers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have six cats and two dogs so pet hair is always an issue in my house. Don’t get me wrong, I love my pets, but we have a baby so we are trying to keep wayward hairs out of her mouth. We have dark hardwood floors and a microfiber couch so it is pretty apparent when there is pet hair on surfaces. We really like this vacuum and enjoy using it to clean! It handles beautifully when rolling it across surfaces and turns on a dime. It isn’t too heavy to carry either. I really liked the bright headlights to illuminate my floors- as I mentioned, my floors are quite dark, and even with the overhead lights on, I could easily see all of the specks of fur and dirt lit up. Getting set up was a breeze, and usage felt intuitive. I liked how the vacuum can go into different modes. Suction seemed pretty powerful. The only thing I didn’t really love is the waste bin. I prefer a hands-off dumping but this one requires you to remove the waste bin from the vacuum and pour it out. Personally I prefer pressing a button and having a hatch open. However, I’m very happy with this vacuum, and my floors look much cleaner and fur free than before!
Great combination of power and quietness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve owned a few stick vacuums over the years and this one has been a pleasant surprise as I was ready to switch back to a bulky corded vacuum. My favorite feature is how quiet this vacuum is. Previously, our toddler and dog would run to the next room anytime we brought our old vacuum out, it screamed! With this vacuum nobody has to evacuate. I also greatly appreciate how well this vacuum work on hard floors. Most of our home is hard flooring and some vacuums have a tendency to kick debris around rather than vacuum it up. This one appears to get it all, meaning I can truly use one device to clean my whole home. The suction power on carpet/plush rugs does not compete with the strongest of corded vacuums, but it’s more than sufficient for regular cleanings. Lastly, I also enjoy the weight and ergonomics which make the vacuum comfortable to use, and that the battery is replaceable should I ever need to do. The vacuum can also stand on its own, which is a feat none of my previous stick vacuums could do; this seems like a small thing but it’s really so convenient!
Great features but needs more power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: the lights are amazing! Especially because I often vacuum at night and we have two cats, so lots of fur. It’s very satisfying to see the hair disappear. However, it’s not that efficient (see cons). The handheld with the upholstery attachment is great for our couches, which are microfiber. The long attachment for the handheld is great for getting under the couches. Cons: since I can see the hair, I can very clearly see that I need to do several passes to get it all. It doesn’t matter if I use the lower or higher power options, I still have the same issue. For a very low pile area rug, I found it kind of just pushes the hair around. This speaks to how well the brushless head works to dig up hair, but it’s just not powerful enough to suck it up. Lastly, if you don’t mount this to the wall, it is very wobbly on its own. I am torn, because I love having a cordless option for a quick run that I can do more often, but it just doesn’t have the power needed to get the area rugs clean. I have two other corded Bissel vacuums, which do have enough power for rugs, but no lights and very heavy. I have yet to find the perfect vacuum!
Thanks so much for your review! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the headlights and handheld versatility — especially with pets and little ones at home.

Great stick vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with the PowerClean FurFinder vacuum! It packs quite a bit of power for a great price point! I have two dogs: one is half German Shepherd (so he sheds A LOT) and the other is a Great Dane (shorter fur but a lot of it), and this vacuum works great as a daily tool. It works well on our hard floors as well as our rugs. It’s also light enough for my kids to use without issue. The headlights are so helpful with seeing all the fur on the floors to make sure none is missed. The tangle free brush roller is a game changer and self standing design makes storing the vacuum so easy. Overall, this is a great vacuum that performs just as well as others at higher price points!
Great Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging for the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is not spectacular. It was difficult to take it out of the box and everything inside falls out in different directions when you finally get it to budge. It would be nice if there was a handle to help you pull it out and if everything inside was secured. All of the packaging was recyclable, but the plastic bags around everything seemed unnecessary. The color is absolutely stunning!! Sparkly blue!? Yes please!!! I like that it comes with a charging station and that there are enough slots to hold all of the tools. It picked up dirt and pet hair well but doesn’t get underneath furniture very well because the joint that connects the beater brush sticks up too high. It was slightly challenging to empty but I like the fully removable bin because it’s easy to wash really thoroughly. The tangle free brush roll is an amazing feature! My daughter and both have long hair and it always gets caught in the vacuum! This made it so much easier! I love that it stands on its own. I do wish it was a little more compact for storage. It’s heavier than my old vacuum, making it more fatiguing to operate for long stretches. The removable battery is fantastic and charges very quickly. That feature is really a game changer if you have a larger home.
Good Vaccum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder met the needs I’d expect out of a high quality vacuum. One of the best features is how well it does removing pet hair from furniture. It was removing hair I couldn’t see and then some! It also has a light on the furniture attachment which I feel is unique and helpful. Speaking of a light, the vaccum also has a light on the floor attachment which helps me not miss a single speck of dust. I’d say the fur finder does great on both carpet, hardwood, and just about any surface you would hope to use it for. I have 2 cats, so this was definitely a win. Not all vacuums work on washable rugs, but with this one because you can adjust the setting (3 different suction strengths), I was able to use it on the lowest setting perfectly. If I had to critique something, the top can be a bit bulky and slightly heavy when vacuuming furniture if you are a weakling like me. Overall, great vacuum!
Can Handle Doodle Fur
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder stick vacuum for about a month, and have been happy with its performance. We have two goldendoodles who shed constantly, and we have to vacuum every couple days, if not daily. This vacuum tackles their “fluffy” fur, dirt and debris they track in, as well as crumbs from my toddler’s snacking. It handles carpets and vinyl flooring well. I really like that the battery can be removed from the unit to be charged, as we aren’t sure where we would permanently put the docking station for charging yet. Also, it’s nice to know if there was ever a battery issue, this would be a simple fix of changing out the battery! I love that the vac is free-standing and I don’t have to lean it precariously on furniture. The battery life is sufficient for the size of our home (1800 sq ft), with about half of the floor surface having carpeting. The unit is manageable in terms of weight and maneuvering. The FurFinder Headlight truly ensures we are identifying and capturing all pet hair and debris on hard surfaces. Our floors feel so clean, with no grit, after we vacuum with this unit. The additional attachments are also great at tackling multiple surfaces. Crumbs in the couch? No problem. Sun highlighting some tables that could use some dusting? This vac has the attachment. I would have loved to see a larger dirt tank, as with the amount of pet fur we accumulate, it fills quickly.
