Great Vacuum Cleaner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was eager to try the CleanView® Max Lift-Off as I have a comparable vacuum and wanted to check out the differences between the two. My first impression of the vacuum is that it's sleek for what it does and has a modern look to it. It's quite compact considering everything that the packaging claims it can do. Upon opening the package, I found it quite easy to put together and start using right away. I mainly use the CleanView to vacuum my house's rugs and to spot clean messes such as dirt brought in from the outside on shoes or from dropped food, etc... This vacuum is great for cleaning these types of messes. It's powerful and does the job. I also have long hair and have found that so far, it hasn't gotten tangled up in the vacuum bristles. I really like the ability to detach the top and carry use it to vacuum the stairs. I am short and have found that this is pretty easy to carry and use without me accidentally hitting the floor due to my height. I can go up and down easily using the wand without any issues. Overall, I really like using this vacuum and while I received it to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I will continue to use it.
Powerful suction
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this upright vacuum. CleanView® Max Lift-Off was designed with busy pet owners in mind, that need to do quick yet effective vaccum sessions. The vacuum is lightweight, especially when using the hose and canister off the base. This feature allows for quick transfer between rooms. I also Love the fact that you can store the attachments on the actual vaccum. The vaccum has great suction. I was actually impressed at how much dust and pet hair it picked up on a quick run. I tested the vacuum in LVP (luxury vinyl plank), low pile rug, long pile rug, and carpeted stairs. My takeaway was that it doesn't run great on LVP I felt that the vacuum was meant for carpet and rugs. It did great on low pile rug and carpet. It struggled on my long pile rug, but I have a very long pile rug. Most vacuums struggled on that rug. I was very excited to try the hose attachments. I like how much the hose stretch. I was disappointed. I tried the brush attachment on my stairs. The brush attachment would stop spinning when put just a small amount of pressure. Overall I think this is a good vacuum for those looking for good suction, lightweight, a long hose, and the ability to remove the canister from the base. The attachments however need improvement.
Powerful vacuum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off vacuum through the Stellar Product Testing Panel but the opinions here are my own. Wow! This vacuum was Powerful! My first time using the vacuum, I vacuumed the rug in my family room. Normally I leave our automatic vacuum to take care of that rug, but I won't anymore! This Bissell CleanView Max vacuum was AMAZING at getting out the pet fur, dirt, dust, and hair that had accumulated on the rug. I had to vacuum and empty the waste canister several times before the rug was cleaned well- that's how poorly my other vacuum did, and how well the Bissell CleanView Max did. My teenager even commented how much better the rug looked! I also have tried the vacuum on hard floors (the suction is still wonderful unlike other vacuums), stairs, and carpet. The Bissell was a little hard to push on the carpet, but then I noticed I could change the setting for how thick my carpet is. That changed everything and made vacuuming the carpet so much easier! I love that I can take the canister off the wheel base, to be able to vacuum on stairs. And I can even vacuum in corners and tight to reach places easily with the extension nozzle. One thing I am not completely thrilled with is how “tight” the extension hose is. I understand that the extension hose needs to be tight enough to keep the hose from dangling loose. But if I vacuum with just the hose, the vacuum falls over if I reach too far. Now, having said that, I believe the strength of the suction in this vacuum far outweighs the annoyance of having to be careful that I don't pull the vacuum over. I am definitely going to tell my friends that this vacuum is worth every penny!
Heavy duty vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is definitely heavy duty (in its feel and its power). We used it on everything from high to low pile area rugs, hardwood floors, and tile. I have 2 dogs who shed a TON, and 2 young kids who leave a trail of crumbs and little bits of paper everywhere they go. This vacuum was able to pick it all up. I like that there are buttons to switch it between hard flooring (brush not spinning) and rugs/carpet, as well as how low or high it is depending on pile height. The only 2 negative things for me are it’s relatively heavy, and because it’s so bulky it couldn’t get very far under our couch/beds. Overall would recommend.
Powerful workhorse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To set the stage, I'm clean floor obsessed and do all of my own cleaning. We have a combination of hardwoods and carpet, a dog who's a moderate shedder, and two teens so there's lots of in and out in our house and floors get dirty quickly. The CleanView Max Lift Off is a solid workhouse of a vacuum that has great suction power. We run a robot vac most days and I was astounded at what this vac picked up off the floors. I used it all over my house and every time I left a room I was shocked how much dirt was in the canister. The Lift Off feature is definitely a plus. I used it most for vacuuming flights of stairs. It's really easy to lift off the main canister and not be limited by the plug. I also used it to reach a high shelf in my closet. It's super useful if you have high or tight spaces where you need to maneuver without a clunky machine The vacuum also comes with a great spinning attachment which sucks up pet hair like nobody's business. I used it to clean our couch and it looked like brand new when I was done! The only reason this gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because it doesn't come with a retractable cord. If you're vacuuming lots of rooms, gathering up the cord each time you have to move is a pain. If that doesn't bother you, I'd highly recommend it.
Small and Mighty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I loved that it was ready to use right out of the box. It required very minimal assembly, which is awesome. The vacuum was very powerful, but required a little bit of muscle power. It didn’t just glide over the carpet. I loved the small bristle attachment! It made it super easy to clean the carpet on the stairs. It made it easy to tackle the floors in our playroom, which contained lots of tiny toys, crumbs, and dirt. I’d definitely recommend this one!
My New Favorite Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm honestly impressed with the CleanView® Max Lift-Off by Bissell. With two young kids (2 and 6 years old), a long-haired cat, and a small dog that sheds nonstop, this vacuum has made cleaning so much easier. It's lightweight, sleek, and the lift-off canister is a game-changer for cleaning stairs and hard-to-reach spots. The suction is incredible—it picks up more pet hair than any vacuum I've ever used, and it transitions effortlessly between hardwood floors, carpets, and area rugs. My favorite feature is how easy it is to clean out; the canister empties with no mess, and the attachments help me get into tight spaces like under furniture and along baseboards. Overall, it's powerful, easy to use, and a huge help in keeping my home cleaner with minimal effort. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this upright vacuum that is now a regular part of our family's cleaning routine.
My House Is Briefly Clean and I am Obsessed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is the one I didn’t know I needed until it changed my life—or at least my floors. As a mom of a toddler and two furry pets (one who sheds like it’s his job), I had pretty much accepted that my house would always look like a snow globe of pet hair. Enter the CleanView Max Lift-Off, my new favorite household superhero. Assembly was ridiculously easy—no tools, no tears—and I was up and running in under 10 minutes. I started by vacuuming a fuzz bunny army off the hardwood, then moved on to tile crumbs (courtesy of dinner with a toddler), and finally tackled the cat fur embedded in my shag carpet like it paid rent there. It handled all of it like a champ. The suction is powerful, the design is sleek, and the rotating brush is honestly my MVP—I love watching it spin like it's on a mission from the Cleanliness Gods. Best part? I didn’t have to go over the same spot 42 times. Emptying the bin is also refreshingly easy. No complicated buttons or awkward twisting—it’s a quick pop-and-dump situation that doesn’t require touching anything gross. Huge win in my book. I've used it on hardwood, tile, rugs, carpet—you name it. It doesn’t complain and doesn’t lose steam. If you have pets, kids, or just a general desire to not live in filth, this vacuum is your new best friend.
Great vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum can clean. Really, really well. I have used some higher end ones and when I first cleaned with this vacuum, I was grossed out by how much it picked up from my carpets that’s I thought were clean. It definitely picks up more than its counterparts. It seamlessly changes from low carpet to high carpet and cleans both exceptionally well. The attachments are great as well. My only two minor issues with it are the cord and the hose. The cord is in not the best place as it gets caught in the wheels a lot of you don’t hold it up. And it could be longer. The hose is not long enough either. Every time I try to reach it a foot or two the vacuum comes crashing into it. These two minor mishaps are just a small price to pay considering how well this thing can clean. Highly recommend this vacuum. Especially at this price point.
Just okay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this on carpet, rugs and hard floors. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and 3 kids with lots of hair. Pros- This vacuum is very easy to put together. It is very light weight, which is great for moving it from different levels. This is easy to empty. Main cons are that due to it being light weight it just feels cheaply made, feels like it will break very easily. Suction is mediocre, I feel like I need to go over the area 3 times to get all the hair up.
Thanks for sharing your experience – it’s great to hear the vacuum’s lightweight design and easy assembly worked well for your busy household. That said, we’re sorry to hear the suction didn’t meet your expectations, especially with pets and kids in the mix. We know how important strong pickup is in a high-traffic home. If you’re open to it, our team would be happy to walk through a few tips or check if there’s anything affecting performance. You can reach us anytime at support.bissell.com – we’re here to help.
