Out with the old and in with the new
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell power clean furfinder is an absolute game changer. I love the way it cleans my floors both on the hardwood and on the carpets. I love that I don't have to switch between different brushes for different areas. Single brush does it all. It's powerful and effective in cleaning the areas and removes pet hair very well. I have two cats in the house and four kids and it does it's job well. The included wall attachment comes with everything you need to mount it directly to drywall or direct to stud. It has HEPA filtration built in which provides a superb clean. I did not have any issues with the brush having any tangles or hair getting mixed up and stuck to a point where I have to consistently take off the brush and clean it. Hence, the built-in tango free technology is superb. I also really like that it has a built-in headlight system to where I can use it in dark spots or later at night. Easy to see easy to clean and easy to use. What else could I possibly want from a vacuum. I had no issues with runtime and it held for at least 40 minutes on low speed. This of course depends on the surface and on power level. It also came with a crevice attachment which I love using in my car and any tight spots. It is super easy to put together straight out of the box. The handle is very comfortable, it's over all lightweight, and super easy to clean the dirt compartment. The self-standing design helps when I need to take a break and set it aside for a few. I also like that it has a removable lithium ion battery for future maintenance in case it dies and I need a new one swapped. Super portable due to its cordless capabilities and simple to use practically anywhere. Excellent quality.
Obsessed with this Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With 2 kids under 5 and 2 dogs, I had accepted that our floors would never be clean and our furniture would always be covered with dog hair, but this vacuum has completely changed that. I was hesitant to try a stick vacuum because I was concerned about battery life and suction power. However, I was able to vacuum the entire first floor of my house (about 30 minutes) on a single battery charge. The headlights also illuminated dog hair I couldn’t see with just the house lights on and made me confident that the suction was not an issue and all hair was being cleaned up. The tangle free brush roll was really put to the test with my curly hair and after using this vacuum at least 5 times a week for a few weeks, I only had a few hairs wrapped around the brush. The FurFinder tool was honestly mind blowing and life changing, which sounds like an exaggeration but truly is not. One of our dogs is white and our furniture and car interior are all grey or black. We’ve tried every tool advertised to remove dog hair from lint rollers to vacuums to specialty tools and nothing really worked. This is the first time we were actually shocked by how much hair was removed with just a few passes of the vacuum (see before and after pictures). Our couch and car are cleaner than they’ve been since we bought them. The only thing I was disappointed by was the dusting brush. There’s an option to either use the brush or push the brush up and just use the stick. The brush does not lock into place and kept falling down when trying to just use it as a crevice tool.
Impressive pet hair pickup cordless vaccum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this vacuum for a few weeks now, and overall, it does a solid job. One of the best features is that it’s cordless, which makes it super convenient for quick cleanups without having to worry about plugging and unplugging as I move around. It also has a built-in light, which is surprisingly helpful for spotting dust and crumbs under furniture. The suction power is impressive—it picks up debris effectively, and it’s noticeably quieter than other vacuums I’ve owned. That said, there are a few downsides. Despite being cordless, the vacuum is heavier than I expected, which can make longer cleaning sessions a bit tiring. Also, emptying the dust bin is more of a hassle than it should be—you actually have to remove it completely to dump the contents. Some of the attachments are also tough to detach, which gets frustrating when switching tools mid-clean. All in all, it’s a strong performer with a few design quirks. If suction and cordless convenience are your priorities, it’s worth considering—but be prepared for a bit of extra effort when it comes to maintenance.
Love the lights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a household with a young child, 2 dogs, and a bird we tend to make quite a mess on the daily! This vacuum made it easier to tackle our messes. I really appreciate that it stands on its own- this is so helpful. I’ve had another expensive stick vac that didn’t do this and it truly makes a difference when you’re trying to clear an area of furniture, dogs, toys to vacuum. And the headlights!! I don’t think I can have another vacuum without this feature ever again. They show everything that needs to be picked up that you otherwise wouldn’t see. I have been really surprised at how much quieter this vacuum is compared to our other cordless stick vac. While this is helpful because one of our pups gets scared from the louder vacs, I was worried that it wasn’t picking up as much but it really does a great job. I usually have to drop the level down to the lowest setting for any carpet because it seems to get stuck easily on the medium level but I feel like it is still picking everything up that I need it to. And bonus- our pup didn’t run away from this vacuum like it’s trying to eat her! The accessories are easy to use and helpful. It was really ready to go straight out of the box. My 5 yr old was the first to start it up and use it- it’s that easy to use! Two drawbacks: 1) the battery life. I tend to only use it on medium or low throughout about 1000 sq ft and the battery is pretty drained by then. 2) the canister is tough to open and can be a little tricky to replace. Overall, this vacuum is easy to use and gets the job done!
Fur Finding Beast of a Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t expecting to love the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder as much as I do, but here we are. First off—headlights. Real, functional headlights that light up every last pet hair hiding in the shadows. Super satisfying to actually see the fur get picked up. We have a dog and 2 cats, so there’s a lot of fur floating around here. This thing pulled up a ridiculous amount of fur that my other vacuum (named after an aquatic animal) apparently decided to leave behind. It’s also cordless (woo!), which makes zipping around the house way easier. Just be aware that the battery life isn’t amazing—maybe 20 minutes on the highest power setting. I usually have to recharge it a couple of times to do the entire house, so that’s definitely worth noting. The brush roll is a beast. No tangles, no snarls, and somehow it never got clogged, even with all the hair it sucked up. It handled tile and carpet like a pro — no need to waste time messing with settings or anything. And the attachments? Perfect for getting into weird spots like corners, under cabinets, sliding door tracks and tackling the couch. Overall, it's not perfect, but for pet owners, it’s kind of a game-changer.
Great Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first used this vacuum, I wasn't too sure about how well it worked. The first thing I noticed was the light on the bottom, it is probably my favorite feature! I didn't realize how dirty certain areas were until the light was shinning on it while I vacuumed! It it especially helpful under our dinning room table, where a lot of food gets drop ( or thrown) by my three young kids, and in corners. It works really well on hardwood floors. It also works well on our carpets, especially after reading through and trying the different setting on it. The FurFinder tool worked really well on getting my dog's hair off of our couch. He has been loosing a lot with the warmer weather starting and it was clinging to my pants. A quick once over helped eliminate that! Some of my dog's longer tail hair did get caught up in the brush roll, but it was very easy to pull out when I was done vacuuming. The fact that it is self-standing was the cherry on top of this great vacuum.
Pet Parent Ally With a Few Caveats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an owner of a Border Collie and an American Eskimo, I'm constantly battling fur and dander, so I was excited to try this vacuum. The vacuum handled area rugs and hard floors with ease. It offered strong suction even at the lower setting. The FurFinder tool is a standout. It removed embedded pet hair from couches and chairs far better than my previous vacuum. The headlights on both the floor attachment and the FurFinder tool were surprisingly helpful, especially in dark corners and under furniture. Coming from a Dyson, this was a feature I didn’t know I was missing. It helped me spot and clean more pet hair than I expected. There are thoughtful touches here. I loved how easy it was to empty the dust bin without removing attachments—a big plus over my Dyson. The tangle-free brush roll worked well, as I often had to remove dog fur and hair from previous vacuum roller brushes. The main downside is the weight distribution. It feels a bit heavy when used for long periods or when cleaning above-floor areas, making it uncomfortable to hold for too long. Overall, I found this vacuum a strong choice for pet owners. It’s powerful, easy to use, and packed with features designed for pet messes. While it’s a bit heavy for extended use, it more than makes up for it in performance.
Solid Stickvac at excellent price point
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PowerClean FurFinder is a solid cordless stick vacuum that packs more suction power than you’d expect for the price. I tried it on rugs, carpets, and hardwood floors, and it did a great job picking up crumbs and dust from all surfaces. I love the headlights on the brush to spot hidden dirt, a removable battery you can charge separately, and a bonus foot pedal to easily detach the brush without bending over. The only things I didn’t love is that battery doesn’t last long on the highest setting, and it’s a bit heavy, so not a good option for a full day of cleaning. Still, for everyday cleaning, it’s a convenient and affordable option that gets the job done.
Good stick vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is a good handheld/stick vacuum that worked well on area rugs, hardwood floors, and tile. It effectively removed fur and hair from my area rugs and hard floors. However, it struggled with small debris and crumbs compared to my other stick vacuum. Additionally, when vacuuming thin rugs, it easily sucked them up but then shut off the suction. I appreciated the bright headlight that illuminated a wide area of flooring, making it easier to see what needed cleaning. The vacuum was user-friendly, with the power button staying on when pushed, unlike my other stick vacuum that required holding the button down. It offered multiple power levels, which was convenient for different surfaces. The detachable attachments made it easier to vacuum different areas. The charging station attached directly to the wall, allowing for convenient storage and charging. Unfortunately, the battery only lasted about 30 minutes, making it impractical for vacuuming the entire house at once. However, it stood upright independently off the charging stand, providing a convenient option for breaks. Overall, it’s a good stick vacuum that serves its purpose. If you have a dog that sheds more than mine, it might be even more useful.
Good for me but great for someone else
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this vacuum almost every other day for the last month or so, and I feel like I'm in a perfect position to evaluate it in depth. Not to mention, I have 3 other vacuums in rotation, so I guess I've reached the stage of adulthood where I feel like a vacuum connoisseur. It's a solid 3-star vacuum for me, and here's why: THE PROS: - I love the light function on the standing vacuum. I mean it's very humbling because I can appreciate the mountain of crumbs on the floor that I can't see in daylight, but it also makes it easier to target clumps of dog/human hair as I vacuum, especially under furniture. - The emptying process is amazing. The hair gets separated from the rest of the debris (perfect for picking out stray LEGO pieces before they end up in the trash) and the wad of wrapped hair is so satisfying and alarming to dump out. - The standing vacuum is impressively lightweight, which makes it easy to navigate across my house. THE CONS: - The power leaves a lot to be desired. If I were just vacuuming dog hair, I could probably get away with using it at the level 2 power, but with two toddlers and as many crumbs as strands of dog hair, I needed to exclusively vacuum at the level 3 function. Even still, this highest setting was still pretty weak in comparison to my other handheld battery-charged vacuum. It also meant that I ran through the charged battery pretty quickly. The one time I tried to vacuum my whole bottom floor with this vacuum, I think I made it halfway before the battery was drained. It's not feasible for me to have to spend 2 hours recharging the battery and then come back and finish the job. If I had no kids and two golden retrievers, say, and my crumbs-to-hair ratio was a bit more on the hair side, it would matter less, but as it stands, it's more functional as a "touch up" sort of vacuum versus a heavy lifter. - I like the handheld setup, but it's pretty heavy. It also is impossible, at least on my particular one, to keep the brush from falling down, which means if I'm trying to vacuum up something yucky, the brush is going to get yucky as well. Even though it seems like I should be able to push the brush up to just use the little nozzle part to suck stuff up, it won't stay up and I end up having to use the brush. It's not a huge inconvenience, but it's definitely a little one. It's also a little annoying that I have to go and switch out my handheld piece somewhere else versus having it attached to my main vacuum. I mean I get it from a weight standpoint—it's way lighter without the handheld piece attached to the main vacuum—but it's annoying when I'm trying to move back and forth between the two different functions. Anyways, like I said, there's a lot to like about this vacuum. It's lightweight, it has a nice light, and it gets the job done for small tasks. It's definitely a frequent presence in my kitchen and dining room now after mealtimes. But my dogs shed but not a crazy amount, and crumbs far outweigh hair on a daily basis, so it's not practical enough with the battery life and power to really be a "one size fits all" vacuum for me.
