Easy to ease and solid vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I appreciated was how easy this was to assemble - and the attachments are self-explanatory. We have cleaners come pretty frequently, but we also have kids that are very messy. This picked up lots more than obvious to the naked eye (mostly crumbs - everywhere)! We tried the vacuum on hard wood floors as well as kid mats and different types of rugs - solid performance throughout. I can't be sure how it will hold up over time, but the first several uses were good. I'd love it to be more compact, but that would likely come with a cordless which isn't as powerful.
Powerful suction and great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off is my new favorite vacuum. It has incredible suction power and is great for our multi-pet household. We have a dog and a cat so vacuuming regularly is a necessity. Furthermore, we have a multi surface floor — lots of rugs and some hard wood. The CleanView Max Lift-Off does a really nice job on all surfaces, pivoting easily from high-pile carpet to hard wood or tile. I even used it on litter! Ordinarily, my vacuums spit the litter everywhere. This vacuum does a great job of sucking up the small particles. After one use, I was shocked at how much it picked up that my other vacuum missed! I absolutely love the way the Lift-Off can be used in multiple ways. The lift off feature, its namesake, is truly awesome and makes cleaning with the accessories a breeze. And the suction brush is the best attachment on a vac I have ever encountered. What a powerful little brush! The lift off feature makes cleaning steps or hard to navigate areas just about effortless. This vacuum is also super easy to figure out and assemble and is relatively light. It is easy to figure out and easy to clean. My only complaint is that emptying the canister is a little tough if you have compacted debris, but this is a minimal flaw and truthfully wouldn’t deter me at all from recommending this powerful machine. Overall, I cannot recommend the CleanView Max Lift-Off enough!
Picked up dust, hair, & dirt great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this upright vacuum from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. Right away, I was impressed by its sleek, modern design and how simple it was to assemble. One of my favorite features is the powerful suction—it picked up an impressive amount of dust, dirt, and hair from both my carpets and hard floors. I especially liked how easy it was to remove the extension wand, which made cleaning my stairs much more convenient. It steered smoothly overall, though I did notice it didn't glide quite as easily on the carpet, likely due to how strong the suction is. On hard floors, I was really pleased that it didn't scatter debris but instead collected everything instantly. The large dust canister was another big plus—it held a lot and was easy to empty, which meant fewer trips to the trash can. What impressed me most was how well it trapped fine dust particles. Overall, I had a positive experience with this vacuum. I'd give it 5 stars if it were a bit lighter—it's just a little heavy for me. But performance-wise, it definitely delivers.
Small but Mighty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CleanView Max Lift-Off is a compact yet powerful vacuum cleaner. It fits easily in small spaces while still being able to pick up hidden dust and debris. One feature I particularly appreciate is its ability to pick up debris just outside its direct path. It can be used as a handheld cleaner for stairs and upholstery, and with both carpet, area rugs and hardwood floors in my home, I find it convenient to adjust the settings from bare floor to high carpet and everything in between. My only downside is its weight; while it's small, it does have a bit more heft than I'm accustomed to. Overall, I would highly recommend it. I received the CleanView Max Lift-Off through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but I can genuinely say I would buy it myself.
Efficient Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised with this vacuum! I have hardwood and tile flooring with area rugs and I was able to use it easily on all surfaces. It is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. It's also not overly loud when operating. I have a shedding dog and 2 young children, so hair and messes are inevitable. This vacuum was able to quickly pick up pet hair and food crumbs. It has a large capacity canister so I was able to finish vacuuming without having to stop and empty. I appreciate being able to switch the suction level and hard floor vs carpet. I do wish the controls were both on the handle for a smoother transition, but that is not a dealbreaker. I'm able to use less suction to easily vacuum rugs without them bunching up or getting sucked in. The turbo brush attachment was perfect to clean the pet hair off of my couch and the crevice tool was handy as well. I love that there is a spot to store each tool on the vacuum as I have lost tools in the past with nowhere to store them. Overall, I have no complaints and this vacuum definitely gets the job done easily!
Mostly good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of this vacuum is that it feels sturdy and well built. It looks sleek being almost all black with a pop of blue. I like how so the attachments attach easily and out of the way. The cleaning power feels top notch. It sounds like it's doing a really good job picking everything up. I used it on my carpeted surfaces as well as my hard surfaces. My carpeted surfaces are higher pile so it was a good test. I have a dog and a toddler so there is plenty of dog hair and crumbs to be picked up. Since the canister is see-thru I could see everything being picked up, which was a lot. My favorite feature of this vacuum is the large capacity collection canister. I vacuumed several times before having to empty, which is so nice. I have a few things a didn't like. The weight of the vacuum made vacuuming my carpet difficult at times, my arm/shoulder would get quite tired. Also the cord hook would not keep the cord hooked, it kept popping out. Overall, good vacuum!
Powerful Suction
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a cordless stick vacuum girl for a long time. I hate dealing with the cord on the upright vacuums. I thought my little cordless vacuum was doing a great job until… enter the CleanView® Max Lift-Off. The vacuum set up was super easy and intuitive. The buttons are clearly marked so it was easy to figure out without having to read the instructions. Its moderately heavy to pick up and move around which could pose a problem for some. I gave it a test run in our upstairs which is entirely carpeted. I was surprised at how powerful the suction was. It left nice clean lines in my carpet which was very satisfying. It is quieter than I expected for how big it is but a little tough to push around. I got a good workout vacuuming the whole upstairs. It was definitely harder to maneuver when the brush roll is running (which is all the time on carpet). But when you switch the brush roll off, it becomes safe for my hardwood floors. Once I finished vacuuming our upstairs areas, I took a look at the clear dirt tank and I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was completely FULL! Ya’ll, I vacuum pretty frequently so I was astounded that the Bissell was able to pull that much dirt from my carpets. I was simultaneously disgusted and delighted at the same time. I have 3 very active kids, 2 of them with long hair. There was hair wound up around the filter inside the dirt tank but surprisingly not much around the spin brush, which was good. I wasn't sure I would find value in the Lift-Away feature. However, when I separated the body from the wand and cleaner head, I was impressed. It became much lighter and I could reach under furniture and tackle the stairs with ease. I used the attachments to clean the crevices and my stairs have never looked so clean. My only complaint was that it whistled when I used the TurboBrush attachment- likely from the amount of suction going through the small brush head. I guess there won’t be any vacuuming after the kids go to bed. I tested it on our hardwood floors as well and appreciated that it picked up all the dirt on the first pass. It even did a great job with dirt against the wall and grabbed everything without me needing to break out the hand tools. Emptying the dustbin was super straight forward, allowing the dirt to exit with the press of a button. I also appreciate all the filters so I wasn’t having to breathe in tiny dirt particles while I cleaned. Overall, I am super happy with the Clearview Max. It does a fantastic job of sucking out that deep ground-in dirt from our carpets. I wish the cord was longer so I could vacuum more area without being tethered to the wall but I’ll deal with that knowing what a thorough cleaning I’ll get thanks to the fantastic suction!
Versatile Design allows for inventive cleaning
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Bissell Vacuum user for a long as Ive been a homeowner. For better or worse, i bought into their Pet eraser advertising and, with my long haired dog shedding everywhere, I decided to give the brand a shot when my old vac finally quit on me. Thus far, they haven't let me down. I think that the Bissell upright vacuums unconventional design is very well throught out and useful. The fact that the Handle detaches and becomes a suction wand is genius, and the little release valve hose at the back end of the bottom brush area provides an easy way to clean out the most common clog point in a vacuum that I have found. My biggest gripe with the Pet hair eraser model ive had is that it was not easy to use to clean my carpeted stairwell. The clean view liftoff I received as part of the Stellar testing panel, FIXES THIS PROBLEM. The new design feature that allows the bagless motor section to literally “lift off” from the floor brushes makes the remaining wand much easier to carry arround while you use the wand handle to get at cieling cobwebs or, yes, the carpeted stairwell (using the motorized brush handle attachment to the cleaning wand). Works great on all carpet and hard floor surfaces ive tried it on so far. The Cleanview has a powerful motor that translates into efficient suction for cleaning no matter how you are using it, The bagless cannister design is easy to empty and reattach to the vac. Assembly was a breeze. Definitely going to recommend to family and friends in the market for a new cleaning tool.
Strong and handy vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleased with this vacuum from the time I opened the box! It had easy to follow assembly instructions and I had it ready to go in about 2 minutes. After talking a few minutes to check out the various options and attachments, I put it to work! My home is a pretty even mix of carpet and tile and it performed beautifully on both. I especially enjoyed the easy to detach handle for cleaning out cracks and corners. Although the suction was a little lackluster in that form, using the regular vacuum base made up for it! It had an amazingly strong suction especially on low carpet. It's a little gross (yet impressive) seeing how much dirt and trash it was able to pick up even after running my little robot vacuum a few days prior. My only dislike is that the handle doesn't seem to be completely secured in place so while pushing and pulling during vacuuming, the constant quarter inch movement of the handle/wand in and out is a little annoying. But the suction power definitely makes up for it!
Powerful and Lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It delivers powerful suction on both carpet and hardwood floors, and the easy handle toggle makes transitioning between surfaces effortless—which is a must in my busy, split-level home. Between a shedding dog, two energetic kids, and—let’s just say—some extra hair around the house lately, this vacuum has had its work cut out for it. And it’s risen to the challenge beautifully. In fact, it outperformed my other vacuum (a well-known brand specifically made for pet hair), which really surprised me. Even though the materials feel a bit cheap, the lightweight design is actually a huge advantage. It’s easy to carry up and down stairs, and it doesn't feel like a workout just to clean a few rooms. My favorite feature is its versatility. It handles different carpet heights and flooring types without missing a beat. If I had to nitpick, I do prefer the canister-emptying design on my old vacuum, which allowed for a top-release that kept my hands a little cleaner. But that’s a small tradeoff for how well this vacuum performs overall. In short, I find myself reaching for the CleanView® Max Lift-Off way more often than my previous vacuum. It’s a great find for anyone juggling kids, pets, and multiple floor types.
