Customer reviews for Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off Upright Vacuum with HEPA Sealed Allergen System forMember photos
Great suction power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is very sleek and modern looking. It was very easy to unbox and click the pieces together. The cleaning power of this vacuum was very powerful. I vacuumed hardwood, area rugs, and my couch. It tackled dog hair and crumbs with ease. The hose adaptor attachment for the couch was so strong it was fantastic on my sofa. There was no back and forth swiping the same spot to get any mess up, especially dog hair. The best part was probably how easy it was to empty the basic. A push of the button opens the “hatch” on the canister and it dumps out the bottom which made it so easy to empty. Between the powerful suction and the ease of dumping, this is by far my favorite vacuum I have used. It also left very nice vacuum clean lines in my carpet.
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.
Nice Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a decent vacuum that is at a reasonable price point. Our favorite futures were the cleaning tools and it’s ability to pivot to clean under furniture. The brush attachment worked well to clean the carpet in our van. it is easy enough to put inside the van and also haul up stairs. I found it is a bit cumbersome to maneuver on medium pile carpet, but it was easier on hard wood, tile, area rugs, and low pile carpet. There is a setting for low pile vs plush carpet. The power seemed superior to my cordless vacuum. In the kitchen, it quickly sucked up cheerios and tiny bits that my cordless vac tends to just push around. Overall, this does the job, but I did not try it on high pile carpet.
Great machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know you're getting old when you get excited when Stellar Product testing panel chooses you to review a new vacuum. I'll start with the assembly as it was really easy, I was using within minutes of opening the box. My house is a mix of carpet/hardwood/area rugs which I am in need of vacuuming often with toddlers and dogs in the house. It's a never ending mess of fur, crumbs, dirt on the floors and furniture. The ease moving from surface to surface is always a must when I look for a vacuum. The cleanview max does a great job with the transition of floor types, all done with a toggle of a button, also a slider to determine the suction strength which is great for those smaller rugs! It's easy to also push a button to have the wand release for those quick corner or under the couch cleanups. The same goes for emptying the canister.. It also comes with a few attachments which pop on and off the easily. The cord is a tad longer than what we've had in the past which is also a nice feature. A few downfalls in my eyes, it's a bit heavier than what I'm use to but still manageable to move around. There is no headlight on it, not a necessity but helpful for sure. Also, it would be more functional if the surface toggle and the suction slider were flipped on the unit itself. Overall, you would not be disappointed in this Bissell, it's a great machine and at a great price point!
Powerful vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleased to receive the CleanView Max Lift-Off vacuum cleaner. Upon opening the box, assembling the vacuum cleaner was simple, quick, and easy to complete by myself. The vacuum cleaner is fairly lightweight for its size. Once I got it assembled in less than 5 minutes after opening the box, I was eager to try it out on our bedroom carpets. We vacuum regularly, about once a week on average, so I was surprised at how much dirt this vacuum picked up after only one pass. I am a homeschool mom with two young sons who spend most of their day outside and track dirt and debris into the house. The suction power in the CleanView Max Lift-Off is amazing! The canister on the vacuum cleaner is easy to empty, and didn't spill any dirt onto the floors while emptying into the trash can. We have a mix of hardwoods, tile, and carpeted floors in our home, and switching between vacuuming the different types of floors is so easy. I can quickly adjust the roller off or on to go from vacuuming carpets to the tile in our bathrooms, or the hardwoods in the halls and living area. The vacuum picks up all of the crumbs off the hardwoods around the kitchen table, and also picks up the inevitable stray hairs in the bathroom floor without the brush getting tangled. I especially love the Lift-Off feature, which allows the bottom roller portion of the vacuum cleaner to detach, making it even more lightweight and compact. This combined with the long hose and attachments makes cleaning higher areas like the blinds and framing around the windows easy to reach. My son even loves to vacuum the blinds with the brush attachment. The Turbo Brush hose attachment is perfect for cleaning the stairs leading up from our basement where our primary entrance is, which has reduced the amount of dirt and debris being brought upstairs. This vacuum is powerful, easy to maneuver, and great for daily use. We often pull it out to vacuum up crumbs after meals and snacks. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this vacuum to try.
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.
A good sturdy vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe too good! This vacuum was really easy to put together. My initial thoughts were that it’s pretty heavy.. which I don’t love, but I recognize that there’s a reason for its heft and it probably means it’ll give me a heavy duty clean. I first tried it on my hard wood floors and area rugs. Since it has two settings, I mainly used the lower one first (without the roller brush that’s for carpet). But with my past vacuum cleaners I’d always used the higher setting on my area rugs to really get the dirt up, and it had never been an issue, so I decided to try it on this one. That might’ve been a mistake - when I emptied the dirt container (also easy to do) there were some red fibers from my rug inside. I think the vacuum might have sucked up a bit more than I bargained for! After that I decided to stick to using the higher setting on carpets only, which worked great. Overall this vacuum works well and is easy to use, which is pretty much everything I want from a vacuum! It would be nice if it were lighter, but I’m willing to sacrifice that for a good clean. Just be careful on your delicate rugs!

Okay Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum is good at cleaning but not great. The vacuum looks good but the different pieces feel like they will break easily. The cleaning power is not the best on carpet. The suction is not enough to tackle the needs of my kids. I had to go over my living room multiple times to get all the debris they track in on a daily basis. On hardwood floors the vacuum cleaned good. All of the bits of debris were easily sucked up. On carpet the vacuum didn’t maneuver easily. It felt like I had to choose between being close enough to the surface to get a good clean or being able to maneuver the vacuum.
Thanks for your detailed review – we’re glad to hear the vacuum performed well on your hardwood floors and that it’s helping with daily messes. We understand how important strong suction and easy maneuverability are, especially in a busy home with kids. While this model is designed for everyday cleaning, we’d love to help you get the best performance on carpet or recommend a BISSELL vacuum that’s built for deeper cleans.

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. We understand your concerns about the hose tension and lift-off usability, especially in tight spaces. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will be shared with our product team. If you'd like help optimizing performance or exploring other BISSELL options that might better suit your cleaning style, feel free to reach out at support.bissell.com – we’re always here to help.
Decent Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that this vacuum deserves 3.5 stars, but since I can't give half stars, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. This vacuum is sturdy and built well. It rolls smoothly, and transitioning from carpet/rug to hardwood is good. The cleaning power is good on hardwood, but only ok on carpet. There is no light at the front of the vacuum. Even though this is a small feature, it lights up the area making dirt more visible. So not having a light makes cleaning more difficult. The max fill line in the debris tank only goes about 1/3 of the way up the tank (see picture). So I'm constantly having to empty it. I like the lift off feature. It makes cleaning areas like stairs and high surfaces more convenient. Overall, this is a well built vacuum, but lacks a little in performance. And at the end of the day, it does everything a vacuum is supposed to do. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this vacuum to review!
