compact but powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our house has two dogs and a preschooler with a mix of carpet, rugs, and hardwood. I vacuumed nearly every day with a different upright, corded vacuum and was shocked when I vacuumed for the first time with this vacuum and the bin was nearly full with dirt and hair. It cleans so deeply and powerfully! I am so impressed with the way the bristles clean the carpet and remove all the hairs without damaging the fuzziness of the flooring. It has a simple button to switch between plush carpet and low carpet/bare floor which works great for my multi-surface home. The wand is extremely easy to release and has excellent attachments perfect for furniture and tight corners. The vacuum itself is large enough for tackling the size of my home, but compact enough to store easily in my laundry closet. I can see through the clear bin to know when to empty it (although that is my least favorite feature - the release button is uncomfortably close to the opening of the bin) and the cord was a good length to clean across an entire room without having to move the plug to a different outlet. This vacuum is by far the best dirt and pet-hair removing vacuum I’ve used!
Versatile Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off Vacuum is a light weight versatile cleaner that is super user-friendly and easy to assemble. The lift-off feature is especially useful transforming it from an upright vacuum to a portable cleaner which was perfect for my staircase and my couches. I used the vacuum primarily to clean up dog hair and crumbs on the floor on both carpets and hardwood floors. The Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an affordable and efficient vacuum with maximum cleaning power. I received this upright vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
SAHM Necessity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a full time stay at home mom of 5 children, I am constantly vacuuming and edging hard floors and carpets. Before I used this vacuum, we had two other vacuums we used interchangeably on the main floor as well as the 2nd and 3rd floor of our home. Downslide of this arrangement was we had to use both vacuums in order to get the job done well. For example, the canister vacuum was great at hard wood floors and edging, it was terrible for vacuuming carpets. Our upright vacuum on the other hand vacuumed carpets perfectly! However, there was no attachment to edge and I never felt comfortable using it on my hardwood floors because I was afraid the brush would scratch the finish. The CleanView Max Lift-Off does what our canister and upright vacuum do but in one! Again, as a stay at home mom tending to her children and the many, many messes throughout the day, this is a game changer as I can rely on one instrument to do a good job without the hassle of using two other vacuums. The suction is great; it is very easy to assemble (I do not typically read instructions fyi); it is lightweight; and no bags needed! This last bit is a huge plus for me- just fill the dust canister and then dump it. How much more convenient can you get? Game changer all around to my cleaning routine in our very busy home.
Works well and easy to us
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time trying a Bissell and I was pleasantly surprised. The vacuum isn’t too heavy and was easy to use. The attachments are easy to store on the vacuum itself and easy to attach. I did find the long handle for the attachments a little harder to have good control as my other vacuum can attach right at the handle with better control. The vacuum had many settings for my tile, wood floors, low rugs, and thicker carpet. The brush roll can be easily turned on or off depending on need and also has option for plush carpet or low carpet/bare floors. I only had issues with our very plush long carpet rug where the brush roll would stop within one stroke and it didn’t feel like it was sucking enough without it. I felt like the suction worked well especially with all the dog hair we have from our Labrador retriever. I used this vacuum multiple times in the first week or two and it always found more hair and dust. It was also easy to empty and the filters are easy to find and clean. Overall I am very happy with this vacuum but I should say that my other more expensive vacuum does feel like it has a little more suction power but this one wasn’t far behind!
Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I opened the CleanView® Max Lift-Off I instantly knew this was going to be my new go to. Not only is the design modern, sleek and aesthetically pleasing but is super easy to use. We have a mixture of laminate and carpet in our home and the CleanView® Max Lift-Off works on both! My husband was just as excited about the CleanView® Max Lift-Off as I was. His was pleasantly surprised by the button to lock the bristles up or down. We also enjoyed how it can become a hand vacuum. The only caveat to that was if you’re going to be carrying it around for an extended period of time, it may become a bit heavy. The CleanView® Max Lift-Off moves around with ease and glides over both carpet and laminate not missing a single crumb. With my old vacuum, I would have to go over some spots on my carpet multiple times, especially with having two toddlers and a pup. The CleanView® Max Lift-Off also got all the dog hair! This vacuum has saved so me so much time. It also comes with attachments which helped me get all the crumbs from between my couch cushions from when the kids have snuck snacks into the living room. I love the versatility of this vacuum and how it makes our busy, hectic, toddler/pup having lives easier. I highly recommend!
Handles Fur and Crumbs and Chaos with Ease
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off has truly been a game-changer in my home. With two fluffy cats and a very active toddler, messes are a daily reality—from fur on the couch to crumbs and spills all over the floors. This vacuum handles it all with ease, and I honestly don’t know how I managed without it. What I love most is the Lift-Off pod—it’s by far my favorite feature. It makes cleaning the stairs and couch incredibly easy. I can just pop it off and tackle hair and crumbs in tight spaces without dragging the whole vacuum around. It’s perfect for getting under cushions, around table legs, and even into the car when needed. That flexibility alone makes it worth every penny. The suction power is fantastic. It picks up everything on the first pass—cat hair, dirt, toddler snack crumbs—you name it. It transitions seamlessly between our area rugs and hardwood floors without losing performance, which makes cleaning faster and a lot less frustrating. Design-wise, I love how sleek and modern it looks. It’s not clunky or overly bulky like some vacuums I’ve owned, and it stores away neatly. It’s also lightweight and really easy to maneuver around furniture and toys. Another plus? It’s surprisingly quiet. My cats don’t immediately bolt when I turn it on, and my toddler is actually curious instead of terrified. Emptying the dustbin is quick and mess-free, and the filters are easy to access. It’s clear that Bissell really thought about the needs of busy households when they designed this. If you have pets, kids, or just want a vacuum that makes your life easier, the CleanView® Max Lift-Off is the one. I genuinely enjoy using it, and that’s something I never thought I’d say about a vacuum!
Love the attachments
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is great for cleaning our hardwood floors and area rugs. Suction is strong and I love that there is a setting that stops the brush bar from rolling when on hardwood floors. My favorite part is the turbo brush attachment- soo good on couches and car seats! The detachable pod makes it easy to use the vacuum for dust on the a/c vents too.
Impressive performance but heavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Bissell vacuums since 2014. Every model I have had has worked reliably without any complaints. I currently have Powerforce Helix model and it has been working great so far. I have a 4 month old baby who likes to put everything in his mouth. So it is essential for me to keep my floors and all other surfaces clean. The Cleanview Max Lift off model came with some serious upgrades. This vacuum truly stands out thanks to its thoughtful design, where the handle model, brush tools, and switch placement make a huge difference. Switching between carpet and hard floors is now effortless, with the control conveniently located on the handle, saving your back from bending. Plus, the wand release and on/off switches are all easily accessible on the top, and emptying the dust bin (Lift-off pod) is as simple as my current model, ensuring a user-friendly cleaning experience. Washable filter is another plus. The suction on this vacuum is incredibly powerful. I don’t have pets, but I’m currently dealing with postpartum hair loss (which honestly feels like having a very sheddy pet), and this vacuum picked up every single strand from both the carpet and hard floors. I was shocked at how much hair, lint, and dust it pulled from even a small area rug. On the 3rd picture, the ugly mass on the side of the collection container is all the hair it pulled from just the 1st floor which has both tiles and carpet. This vacuum comes with 2 brush attachments. One is the 2-in-1 Dusting brush and Crevice tool which pulled all the dust and food crumbs from my couch and kids' car seats. The other one is the Turbo brush(refer to my 2nd picture), a game changer! It works great on the stairs, mattresses, and curtains. It made cleaning those surfaces much faster and more thorough. I used it on a mattress that’s only a month old, and the dirt container still collected a noticeable amount of dust. The only major downside is the weight. It’s noticeably heavy. After vacuuming just the first floor, my hands and wrists were sore. At first, I thought it was just my weak postpartum body—but both my dad and my husband (who regularly lifts weights) agreed it's on the heavier side. Great- 1) Very powerful suction 2) Works well on multiple surfaces (carpet, tile, couch, car seat, mattress, curtain and wall) 3) Useful attachments, especially the Turbo brush. Not so great- 1) Quite heavy - Can cause temporary hand/wrist soreness with extended use.
Great all around unit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum has exceeded expectations—it works very well and stands out for being both extremely maneuverable and impressively quiet. It's a real upgrade from others I've used, especially in a busy household like ours. The design is sleek in a practical, utilitarian way. It's not flashy, but it definitely doesn't look bad—just solid and well-built. Functionality clearly came first in the design, and I appreciate that. When it comes to cleaning power, it performs above average. The suction and brush strength are excellent, especially on area rugs, where many vacuums tend to over-suck and become a hassle to use. This one handled them with no issue. We've put it to the test with pet hair, food crumbs, and even construction dust from a home renovation, and it handled everything really well. The “Lift-Away” feature has been especially useful for getting dust off high-up furniture, and the wand attachment has been a game-changer for upholstery. Being able to leave the base on the floor while carrying just the canister around makes cleaning much less cumbersome. We've used it on hardwood, wall-to-wall carpet, area rugs, and door rugs, and it transitions smoothly between them all. My favorite feature is how quiet it is—noticeably quieter than most vacuums we've owned. That, plus the Lift-Away capability, really makes it a standout. All in all, it's a smart, powerful, and user-friendly vacuum that's made our cleaning routine much easier. I received this unit through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Wonderful upright vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this upright vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I'm so grateful. I love the power and mobility it has. I never realized how much my old vacuum wasn't picking up until I used this one for the first time. It was disturbing how much dust and junk I had on my floors. YIKES. I love that my house feels extra clean when I use this vacuum. I love the different settings for carpet or hard floor making it convenient to clean my whole house with the one vacuum. My favorite part of this vacuum is the fact that my 4 year old can even use it efficiently. She loves to help clean and this vacuum is light weight and doesn't lift up the front end when the handle leans far back. The size is perfect so it's easy to store. I would highly recommend this upright vacuum to anyone.
