Customer reviews for Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off Upright Vacuum with HEPA Sealed Allergen System forMember photos
Kids and pets approved
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum. It has completely our previous model for the ground floor. With a toddler, a dog, and a cat, we vacuum a lot, and the Cleanview Max gets EVERYTHING in one tank with no loss of performance, and switching to the edge wand and the upholstery brush is straightforward enough that I don't leave it to another day. It's easy to clean out, and needs no tools to troubleshoot the brushes and heads. Love it!
Great for those with dust allergy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m overall very impressed with this vacuum, especially its strong sucking power. I vacuumed our area rug with our old vacuum 3 days prior. When we used this new CleanView Max Lift-Off, I was shocked to see it collected more dust/dirt than I would have anticipated-for vacuuming 3 days prior! Our son has a dust allergy so we will definitely be using this vacuum for all future cleaning to get the dust our other vacuum couldn’t suck up! Side note, when I opened the box, I was initially bummed to have to put the vacuum together. However, the instructions are clear and it was surprisingly super easy to build. I was able to start vacuuming in less than 10 minutes after opening the box. Highly recommend this vacuum for its strong sucking power alone!
Holds up to 4 kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a household with four kids, so we are always looking for new ways to make cleaning easier (which often involve the word “pet” - you’d be surprised how similar the messes can be). Overall, this vacuum has worked well for us and I would recommend it! We have used it on our carpet, laminate flooring, and even in our car so far and it has done well on all three surfaces, picking up everything from tiny crumbs to whole pieces of cereal. Pros: Good suction power Versatile attachments Easy to empty Can switch the roller on and off as needed Handles a lot of different messes Nice overall look and design Not too heavy or wide Liftaway feature for tight spaces (always a favorite of mine) Cons (really only minor nitpicks): I wish the switch to turn the roller on and off were closer to the handle to change back and forth more easily with one hand I can’t wait to see how this one holds up! Seems nice and sturdy and I’m overall happy with it.
Functional, Simple, High Performing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My first impression was that the vacuum was very light; I didn't know how well it would perform. The wobbly rotating took some getting used to, but I like its functionality. I cleaned leftover kinetic sand from a rug in the living room and leftover crumbs from the hardwood floor in our dining room. It worked great! I was impressed with everything it picked up. I like the low-profile head that lets you easily maneuver under tables and chairs. I like the genius lift-off tank portion that makes it even lighter for vacuuming stairs and high areas. That was probably my favorite feature; it's so versatile. Emptying the canister was pretty easy. I wish it had hands-free emptying, but it's not a deal breaker. I liked how simple this vacuum was; it had features that were easy to use, and I didn't need to read the whole owner's manual to figure it out. It was very intuitive.
Great Cleaning Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box this was super easy to piece together, no tools required. I like that the vacuum is tall enough to be comfortable for me to use, I am 5'9". It's a nice looking machine, with clearly marked, large buttons for all controls, without any added unsightly colors. The foot is not overly wide, I find it fits under the edges of everything I have with ease. My favorite feature was the most amazing flexibility that it has with tight turns! The handle leans way down sideways to easily make low clearance corners. I found it has great cleaning power on carpet and tiled floors, it cleaned up everything I tried with ease, including hair, lint, sand and dry food crumbles. The power switch is clearly marked to turn the brush on or off depending on your needs. As much as I love this as an upright vacuum, I was pretty disappointed with the lift away option. It is heavy and bulky, as the entire pod lifts off the foot in one unit. It's cumbersome with the tall handle still attached but it does clean just as well using the hand tools. This vacuum has 3 filters, a HEPA that should be replaced twice a year and 2 other filters in and on the dust receptacle that are easily rinsed out and reinstalled. All in all, this is a great upright vacuum with really easy to operate controls, easy to clean/change filters, easy to empty dust receptacle, great maneuverability and really great cleaning power. I would recommend this vacuum. I received this vacuum from Stellar Product Testing Panel for my personal use and honest opinion.
Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum is a powerful machine!! The vacuum does have some bulk and weight to it, so initially, I was a little overwhelmed by the size for our small home; however, the cleaning power with our always shedding short haired dog made up for it!! The colors (black and minimal accent blue) are sleek, and it appears modern in design which doesn’t make it stand out if left out of the storage room. Despite the larger size of the vacuum, the functionality is very user friendly and easy to use. I appreciated the options for carpet heights as we have various carpet/rug thicknesses throughout our home, as well as the option to quickly flip the switch for brush off for hardwood/tile floors and brush on for carpet. We have a rug that we have used multiple vacuums on, and our dog’s hair was always left behind. I attributed it to the rug’s material holding on to the dog hair, but I tried the Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum on the rug and I couldn’t believe my eyes – the vacuum canister filled up about halfway and there was not a single hair found left over on the rug!! Additionally, after vacuuming a high traffic rug with one vacuum that we owned and I thought was very powerful, the Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum filled up about 1/3 of the canister! The canister is large too and allows you to continue vacuuming in multiple rooms or in big messes without having to empty it frequently. I also appreciate that the canister empties from the bottom, preventing a lot of dust and dander to release in the air. It also worked great on our hardwood floors and did not create any kick back from behind. It wheels around smoothly, and the swivel feature works well. I love that there is a lift off feature of the vacuum where you can lift it off the floor brush attachment to make it lighter and easier for portable cleaning with the hose attachment. The cord is very long which allows you to move around a large room without having to unplug the cord and move it to another outlet. One nuance we found is that the cord is connected very low on the vacuum which requires you to have to hold the cord while vacuuming, unless it is partly wrapped around the cord hook; it would be great if the cord was connected a little higher up on the vacuum to prevent wear and tear. The base of the brush is higher than other vacuums, which does make it a little difficult to fit under couches and other cabinets/shelves, but this also means the brush is larger and probably is what makes it so effective on carpet and rugs! The storage spots for the hose attachments directly ON the vacuum are also amazing – there is nothing I hate more than having to run back and grab different attachments while vacuuming! No one wants to wear a tool belt when you are cleaning 😊 Overall, I was incredibly impressed by the effectiveness of the Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum – it worked SO WELL at picking up our dog’s hair and quickly! You can feel the suction power when using it and it is satisfying! I would recommend this to anyone with heavy shedding pets!
Pet Hair Friendly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how well this vacuum works, from carpet to vinyl flooring this vacuum works awesome. One of the best features I love about this vacuum is how you can easily click the Lift off button and you can pack the vacuum around for easier cleaning around stairs, vacuuming curtains off so forth. This vacuum has great suction and picks up even pet hair with ease. This vacuum is not a heavy vacuum and easily goes across floors with ease. I also love how easy it is to throw away the dirt and hair and clean when you are done. I would highly recommend this vacuum to everyone looking for a amazing powerful vacuum.
Easy to use, powerful vacuum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a fan of the CleanView® Max Lift-Off vacuum! I liked that it was very quick & easy to assemble and also loved that it was pretty lightweight, especially for the power it has. I have a number of different surfaces to clean in my house and it was equally effective across all of them including hardwoods, tile, area rugs and wall-to-wall carpeting. It was easy to switch the settings when moving from one surface to a different one. The accessories were helpful, especially in cleaning a couch (love my dog, but she leaves lots of hair!) as well as on our stairs. I didn't have to "go over" any areas a second time because the suction was great. It was a tad quieter than my previous vacuum, but definitely lighter which was nice. One recommendation I'd make is to make the front of the vacuum base angle more narrow so it fits under kitchen cabinets. It didn't go under mine, which wasn't the end of the world since I could easily lift off the wand and clean under the doors. However, it is obviously quicker/easier without using wand. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this upright vacuum.
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.
Best vacuum EVER
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend the the CleanView Max Lift-Off vacuum by Bissle. I’m in my mid-40s and have had several vacuums (even the fancy ones you break the bank to get) and this is BY FAR my favorite ever. You will not regret getting this amazing vacuum cleaner. Big thank you to Stellar Panel for giving us this vacuum to test out and review. A lot of thought was put into the design of the vacuum and it covers all bases. - It’s lightweight and super easy to maneuver even around corners and in tight spaces thanks to the ball joint steering system. No one likes a heavy vacuum that requires 10 point turns to get to the spots you need and this vacuum performs beautifully at avoiding that. - We have stairs and I LOVE the ability to detach the canister from the larger unit. It makes vacuuming stairs and higher locations like the ceiling fan and AC intake really simple. - There are super helpful attachments and not a dozen useless ones you’ll never use. This comes with a smaller vacuum head you can attach to the hose which is great for getting pet hair off furniture or vacuuming smaller items. There’s also an edger with an attached brush you can slide up or down as needed. The hose has an easy to hold handle that makes things so easy. Use the handle and the edger and your baseboards will be spotless and it’s so simple! - The hepa filter and secure canister makes sure that what I vacuum up stays in the canister in not in our air. This is important to me because we have asthmatics in our family. - I vacuumed our home with our old vacuum and then immediately send back over everything with this one and was amazed at what it pulled up. Lots of dust, lint and hair that the other vacuum missed. This is the perfect vacuum and I recommend it for anyone. You can’t go wrong with this one.
