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.
The Best Vacuum Cleaner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a lightweight vacuum cleaner that still has powerful suction- this is the one! This vacuum has several great features that I keep raving about to family and friends: -Maneuverability: I love how easily the base swivels. My old vacuum would require more effort from me to navigate awkward or narrow spaces. -Accessibility: The low profile base allows access under lower tables or cabinets. -Ease of Use: This was easy to install out of the box. Additionally, clearing out the canister is mess-free, as the base opens with the push of a button. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel though will confidently state it's worth the purchase!
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.
Good straightforward vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone living with kids and dogs on a farm, I was thrilled when the Stellar Product Testing Panel sent me a Cleanview Max Lift-Off vacuum to try! My house is constantly filled with dust, dirt, sandburs, pet hair…you name it. I have a ton of carpet in my house, which also means a ton of area rugs to protect it! One thing I love about this vacuum is that it didn't suck up my rugs when I went from surface to surface. I have primarily the thin area rugs (the type you can throw in the washing machine) and my old vacuum just didn't work on them without a serious struggle. You're able to easily switch the roller brush on and off as you're going, so hitting my hard kitchen floors or mudroom on the way through was effortless. This vacuum also glides very easily on hard floors. It maneuvers easily on all surfaces, and the wand disconnects easily to hit the baseboards. The main feature of this vacuum is that you can lift off the base to reach higher surfaces (aka the rafters in my living room collecting dust), which is really handy as well. Overall I think this is a great, straightforward, easy to use vacuum. It's simple yet effective, not too heavy, easy to maneuver and empty. I would recommend!
Definitely SUCKS! In a good way!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely felt my age when Stellar Product Testing Panel provided me with this upright vacuum and I was excited! I pulled it out of the box and was able to assemble it very quickly and easily. I started with it on the carpet in my master bedroom. We have fairly new carpets and we vacuum regularly but the cat spends most of his time in our room. I figured we'd have the most luck with pet hair there. Boy, was I right - and shocked! The canister was full after vacuuming JUST ONE ROOM! I could not believe it. Clearly the suction power on this thing is strong. I emptied the canister and then moved on to my kids rooms. After their three carpeted bedrooms, the landing and the stairs, the canister was full so I emptied it again. I decided to keep going and vacuumed the downstairs. We have three large area rugs (living room, dining, and family room). I also pushed it along the hardwood floors in the kitchen and between the spaces where the rugs don't touch and of course had to empty the canister a third time. While the upstairs was mostly dust and cat/dog fur, the downstairs floors had crumbs from kids, dirt tracked in from outside, and general messes from animals and a family of six. I'd say the power on this vacuum could handle our family! As far as looks and design, it seemed a little small. The canister had to be emptied three times to do my whole house (approximately 3000 sqft.) I like that it is more compact than my usual vacuum; however, I would love to be able to vacuum my whole house without having to stop and empty so often!
Solid Vacuum for Families
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re a busy household with a toddler, two cats, and not a lot of time for cleaning, so we were really curious to see how the CleanView Max Lift-Off would hold up. Overall, we’ve been pleasantly surprised. The suction is quite strong, and it handled everything from crumbs in the kitchen to pet hair in the living room without a problem. We used it on tile, carpet, and some area rugs, and it adjusted well to all of them. It’s lightweight enough that we can quickly grab it for messes without feeling like it’s a whole production. The design looks nice and modern, and while some parts feel a little plastic-y, nothing’s broken and it’s holding up fine so far. That said, we’ll be watching how it holds up over time, especially the part where the head pulls back, since that’s where we’ve had problems with other vacuums. Our favorite part is definitely the roller attachment. Compared to our current vacuum from a different brand, it pulls up so much more, especially on rugs. Emptying the bin is quick and easy for the most part, though we did find that if something gets stuck in there, it takes a little extra effort to get it all out. All in all, it’s a great vacuum for our stage of life. It’s powerful, versatile, and makes cleanup less of a hassle, which is exactly what we need right now.
In love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generally speaking, this product has performed exceptionally well. It thoroughly cleans my floors, handling a substantial amount of debris, fur, food, and dirt. The attachment pieces have proven useful in cleaning baseboards and under beds, although I wish the thin nozzle could extend further to access deeper areas. The vacuum head swivels effortlessly and is easy to control. The adjustable suction levels and option to turn off the spinning feature on the vacuum head are appreciated. The design allows for effortless movement throughout the house. It has consistently performed well on LVP and area rugs.
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.
Amazed at Strength and Efficiency of Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum - its easy to use, compact, has a sleek design, and sucks up everything so easily! Our house has a ton of hair, crumbs, and other dirt all over the floors (hardword, rugs, tile, etc.) and this vacuum has been amazing in terms of picking it up quickly and with little to no effort. It's also easy to clean out and fits neatly in a little nook for frequent use. I cannot recommend this product enough and plan to go to Bissell first with all of my vacuuming needs!
Solid Basic Vacuum Good But Not Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum does the basics well, but doesn't stand out. Pros + large cannister capacity + powerful suction because corded, but not the most powerful of all corded vacuums + easy to maneuver/turn with 180 degree articulation between upright body and floor roller Cons - cannot vacuum in lower clearance areas like under chairs which means it definitely cannot vacuum under coffee tables - heavy for what it is - hose tension is too much. it wants to snap back after very little hose stretch so my wrist gets tired fighting to stretch the hose and maneuver the attachment - the 4" wide Turbo brush attachment doesn't seem powered. It seems to only turn using the air movement into the hose so it stops turning while vacuuming the pet bed - hose clips to the main body but seems more like an afterthought (photo attached) - Lift-off feature sounds good, but doesn't come through in its execution. Most of the weight is in the lift-off body. If you set down the lift-off body, it will tip with minimal hose extension so you must hold it in your off hand the entire time. That limits the scenarios where the lift-off functionality is actually useful compared to just detaching the wand. Mostly only practical for stairs. Even then, it's more that it makes stairs less of a pain for a corded vacuum; still not the best experience compared to a cordless stick vacuum. Also--after removing the lift-off body from the roller base, the wand cannot attach to the roller base directly so there's no workaround to the canister being too bulky to reach under chairs.
Thanks so much for your detailed review – we really appreciate the time you took to share both the pros and the areas where the vacuum could improve. It’s great to hear the suction and maneuverability worked well for you, and we’re glad the large canister and swivel design were helpful.
