Effective but Cumbersome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissel Clean View Max Lift-Off has been a great addition to my cleaning arsenal. I enjoy the black, sleek look & design of the vacuum; however, I think it lacks tools in comparison to others in the field. Overall, the pros & cons are about even for me so I am giving 3 stars. Pros: great suction, powerful, able to use on multiple surfaces (i.e. hardwood, tile, carpet, & area rugs), and a multi-brush spinning system that minimizes tangled messes from hair build up. Cons: very heavy, hard to carry up & down the stairs, and does not detach as easily as advertised. Even while detached, having to carry the canister around is almost harder than not detaching it at all. My favorite feature is the ability to easily switch between hardwood & carpet because I have multiple surfaces both upstairs & downstairs. This vacuum is great if you live with children, multiple people, and pets… definitely excels in picking up hair!
Thanks for your thoughtful review, Mary! We’re happy to hear the CleanView® Max Lift-Off® is performing well on multiple surfaces and tackling pet hair effectively. We understand the weight and detachment could be more user-friendly—your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our product team.

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.
The Perfect Pet Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView Max Lift Off Vacuum is the most efficient vacuum I have ever used! As a pet owner of multiple dogs, the amount of pet hair that accumulates daily in our house is abundant and the CleanView Max Lift Off is the perfect vacuum to get the job done. It has outstanding suction power that cleans every spec of pet hair off of my area rugs, leaving them looking spotless and like brand new! The maneuverability of this vacuum is so convenient to clean many different areas of my house. I am able to clean area rugs, large surface hardwood floors and bedrooms with ease. My favorite feature of this vacuum is the Lift- Off detachable pod. This tool makes it so easy to clean hard to reach places like underneath couches, ceiling fans, inside and around dog kennels to every crevice in my home. This vacuum makes daily cleaning chores so enjoyable and I will be using it for years to come.
Great vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good vacuum overall. It looks nice and it isn’t super loud. It works really well to clean up any dirt and animal hair on my floors. It works very well on both tile and carpet. The switch to change between bare floors and plush carpet is nice and easy to use since it is just on the handle. It was also easy to turn and was not super heavy. I really like how it isn’t incredibly loud like other vacuums and how easy it is to lift off. The attachments for the vacuum are also nicely stored on the sides. The lift-off feature and using the smaller rotating attachment really made vacuuming my stairs much easier. It was also incredibly easy to remove and empty the container.
Sweep no more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum works incredibly well on hard wood and laminate floors. I was skeptical at first but it has replaced sweeping in my house. It’s so easy to push and navigate. It effortlessly turns and the capacity is very large. I like the option of being able to use it on carpet as well. The attachments are very handy and are great for stairs. I vacuum daily because of a toddler and 2 big shedding dogs and this works so well. Pup approved! She loves playing with 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!
Nothing special
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thw Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off is a decent vacuum but not overly impressive in any way. It's design is pleasant and functional. It's heavier than I expected for its size and it's maneuverability was awkard. found it a bit lacking in cleaning power. I used it on hardwood, tile, and area rugs. I didn't find it's suction to be great on the wood or tile floors. The turbo brush attachment stops turning completely when pressed against any upholstery or furniture, even with very little pressure, making useless. The vacuum works, but its not great. I wouldn't recommend it.
Hi Myzme, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the CleanView® Max Lift-Off®. We’re glad to hear you found the design functional, but we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations in terms of suction and maneuverability. It sounds like the turbo brush may be losing power under pressure. We’d love to help troubleshoot that and see if we can improve your experience. Please reach out to us at support.bissell.com, and our team will be happy to assist. We appreciate your honest feedback—it helps us make our products better for everyone.
Clunky but effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum looks pretty nice and is easily used in different ways by removing the wand from the base or using its attachments. It is quite effective at picking up debris, including pet hair from fabric surfaces and rugs. Using the turbo max attachment was super helpful on my furniture. The little extension wand for narrow spaces was not long enough for me, but I did appreciate the brush head on it to help get pet hair off of things. The ability to change the settings for different floor surfaces, and for whether you use the roller brush in the base, was also very helpful. It was very easy to detach and empty the container into the trash. What makes me disappointed in the vacuum is how clunky it felt to me. It is definitely heavy and was a workout to use it for an extended time. It is pretty easy to turn, but the vacuum tends to go back into the vertical position and I then have to manually adjust it back into an angled position for maneuvering the vacuum. When using the wand detached, the hose was very stiff and didn't want to extend, which then meant that unless I held the vacuum in place it wanted to pull over and follow the wand. It actually did this during my first use and fell over onto my ankle, which was very painful due to the weight. Overall, I just found it a lot heavier and more difficult to maneuver than my old canister vacuum, which was disappointing. However, I do appreciate that it seems very effective, especially with picking up pet hair from fabric surfaces. So, I give a middling rating to this vacuum.
Thanks for your detailed review! We’re glad to hear the CleanView® Max Lift-Off® performed well on pet hair and fabric surfaces, and that you found the attachments and settings helpful. We understand the weight and hose stiffness made it harder to use comfortably—especially during extended cleaning. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll share it with our team.

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!
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.
