Customer reviews for Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded Stick Vacuum with FurFinder Headlights forPowerful suction with only a couple downsides
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this Bissell PowerClean vacuum in our extra bedroom that has the litterboxes for our cats, primarily to clean up litter off the LVP floor. It works very well for this purpose. The suction is strong. The cord is long enough. And the light on the front helps to make it easier to find the areas that really need cleaning. The dustbin is also easy to empty. It's lightweight and easy to maneuver. It's lacking 2 things though. First, while it will stand on it's own, it's very top-heavy. I swear if you walk by it too quickly it will topple over from the slight breeze. It really needs a way to mount it to the wall. There's a small notch in the area where the cords winds up, probably to be used to guide the cord, but I ended up putting a screw in the wall and using that notch to hook it to the wall. This helps quite a bit. Second, it comes with 3 attachments, but there's no way to store them on the vacuum. There's a bag to store them, but it would be nice if the bag could be mounted onto the vacuum or if the attachments themselves could attach somehow. Overall though, a nice vacuum that will be pretty significant usage.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review, Dina! We’re glad to hear the PowerClean® FurFinder™ stick vacuum is working so well for litter cleanup, with strong suction, helpful lighting, and easy maneuverability. We appreciate your feedback about storage and stability—your wall‑mount workaround is a great idea, and we’ll be sure to share your suggestions with our product team.

Great for pet people
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two cats and a small dog, and the fur situation in my house is... a lot. It drifts into corners, hides under the couch, and piles up behind bookshelves like it's paying rent. After spending some time with the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder, I have some thoughts for other pet owners looking to solve their fur problems. The headlights were the first thing that surprised me. I expected them to be kind of gimmicky, but they actually illuminate dust, dander, and pet hair hiding in spots I was clearly missing before. A little humbling, honestly. Something I didn't expect to appreciate as much as I do — the motor sits up near the handle instead of at the floor. That means the airflow stays high and doesn't blow hair around before you can vacuum it up. It sounds like a small thing but it genuinely changes how well it picks up pet hair. It's corded, which I know some people see as a downside, but I've come to prefer it. No battery dying halfway through, no loss of suction — just consistent power the whole time. The cord is long enough to cover a decent area, and it stores neatly on the back of the unit even with the extension wand removed. The self-standing design is one of those things you don't think about until you realize you're not constantly picking it up off the floor. It stands on its own, doesn't tip, and just makes the whole process feel less annoying. It also comes with several attachments for handheld use, plus a mesh bag to keep them all together. It’s the kind of small practical detail that makes storage actually work in a real closet. Overall, if you have pets, I'd recommend this. It's easy to maneuver, has real suction power, and the headlights are genuinely useful!
SmallandMighty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum handled everyday messes very very well on both hardwood, carpet, upholstery, and tile surfaces. It felt slightly more powerful than my cordless vacuum and did well at picking up large items like Mac n’ cheese and legos. I like how the dirt was separated from larger debris. I could easily disconnect the floor attachment and use the stick part to vacuum hard to reach comers. The self standing design is convenient and I can stow it in a closet instead of having to configure a docking/charging station. The lighted head allowed me to see hair, dust, and larger particles that I may have otherwise missed, especially under the table and larger pieces of furniture. I do wish the floor part had a lower profile so I could vavuum under sofas and larger furniture without having to move it. I liked how lightweight the vacuum is and it offers a good medium power between my larger bissel and coordless stick vacuum.
Compact and easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am enjoying using the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded. The vacuum is light and easy to maneuver around tight spaces. There is a long cord that allows you to switch between rooms without having to unplug it constantly. The vacuum has a high and low setting and it’s easy to switch between the two; the low setting allows the vacuum to be a little quieter when needed but still works well. It was very effective at picking up dust, dog hair and crumbs on hardwood/tile flooring. I thought it didn’t feel as powerful on carpet or rugs, but it still picked up quite a large amount of dog hair, just needed to go over the area a couple times. The light in the front helps with seeing missed debris or areas that need attention and is very bright. The self standing feature is by far my favorite as I can stop mid cleaning and don’t have to find a place to lay it down or a wall to lean it up against. I appreciate compact it is as I have minimal closet space in my home and it can easily fit in a corner of a room. The light colors make it stand out less if it’s left out.
Powerful and Versatile
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our home really asks a lot from a vacuum; we have toddlers, a cat, a dog, and multiple types of flooring including hardwood, plush carpet, thin washable rugs, and tile. Every vacuum we’ve had until this one has fallen short because of the aforementioned. Before I had used the FurFinder for the first time, I had already swept my floors in the morning and vacuumed with our old extremely loud vacuum in the afternoon; when I received the FurFinder, I was too excited to not use it so I intuitively put it together out of the box in 2 minutes (I’m not one for instructions). The amount of dust and crumbs and hair that was illuminated by the bright headlights light was startling, but then when I saw how full the canister was after I finished I was actually shocked and a little disgusted by how much crud my old vacuum had been leaving behind without me even knowing it. Yikes. The suction is great, it picks up fine hair and dust really well, but it also picks up bigger crumbs and snacks like cheerios. I also really love all the attachment options, especially the upholstery attachment because it picks up every dog and cat hair on the couch, which also was shocking to see in the canister! On that note, the canister is kind of small, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing - you just have to empty it after each vacuum which is what one should probably be doing anyway. I had some initial hesitation on the corded aspect, but I haven’t had to unplug and plug it into a new outlet to finish a vacuum. The cord length is very generous! A feature that I really love is how quiet it is. I can vacuum during naptime without waking up the little ones, which I could not do with either of my old vacuums. It’s quiet, but still very powerful and versatile! It performs well in literally every single situation I have used it for: every type of flooring in my house, toddler messes, pet messes, baking messes, furniture refreshes. I intend to use the attachments to clean my car this weekend and I don’t anticipate any problems! It’s portable and fairly lightweight, though a bit top-heavy, which makes me uneasy about fully trusting the self-standing function. I could see a toddler running by and brushing it and it falling over, so I keep it in a corner for support. Still, it is not a dealbreaker at all given what an otherwise awesome vacuum it is! The silicone spin brush is awesome and will be so easy to clean as needed, which is so much nicer than trying to wash brush bristles that are tangled with gross hairs and dust. The silicone prettu much squeegees all that stuff up and into the canister it goes. Such an easy vacuum to just pull out to quickly clean up messes as needed or for a full vacuum and I always feel like my home is getting so much cleaner using this vacuum than it ever was before!
The Cord Brings The Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two reasons I specifically wanted a corded vacuum are 1) more power and 2) longer vacuuming time. This corded Bissell vacuum is a rockstar on power. It pulled up carpet cat hair my previous battery-powered vacuum could never dream of, and the headlight is an added bonus I didn't even know I needed. No longer can crumbs escape under the edge of my kitchen cabinets! Even though the roller brush doesn't always get into the corners, it's a really simple switch to pop the handle off and attach the crevice tool thanks to a foot-step latch release. Longer vacuuming time is less of a win, because the dirt container is comically small. While I was hugely disappointed on sight, it hasn't turned out to be as problematic in practice as I expected. I do have to stop more frequently to empty it, but the vacuum stands upright on its own wherever I leave it without toppling over, and the container itself is much easier to open and empty than my previous vacuum. There's no twisting and unlocking and wrestling when it's got just enough dust to get jammed up. This one slides open in one pull, empties with a couple of taps, and settles straight back in. Then I'm back on my way with a fresh and empty receptacle, so I feel more confident that the suction power is at its most effective. Still, I would have loved to have more capacity to combine with the cord. Other things I like: -Sturdy. The heft was the first thing I noticed out of the box. Super solid while still being light enough to carry around with one hand. -Long cord. And with the cord-wrap at the top rather than the bottom or middle, I can easily wind it up while upright. -Two power modes. Low is plenty for hard floors or short rugs, and it's surprisingly easy on the ears.
Thanks for the great review, Christi! We’re glad the PowerClean® FurFinder™ Corded Stick Vacuum delivered the strong suction and visibility you were looking for. Emptying the dust cup more often can help keep performance at its best during longer cleanups, and we appreciate your feedback on capacity.

Lives up to its name
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BISSELL PowerClean FurFinder has been a great addition to my home, especially with pets in the mix. It has strong, steady suction that easily picks up pet hair, crumbs, and everyday debris without needing multiple passes. Even larger bits of dirt or kibble weren’t a challenge, which made quick cleanups feel effortless. One feature I found surprisingly useful was the self‑standing design. Being able to pause and leave the vacuum upright wherever I was cleaning made the whole process smoother and less disruptive. The built‑in headlights were another standout. They lit up hidden fur and dust along baseboards and under furniture, helping me catch things I would’ve missed. What I appreciated most was how intentionally this vacuum seems built for pet owners. It’s powerful, easy to maneuver, and thoughtfully designed, making daily cleaning feel faster and more manageable.
This thing SUCKS in a good way
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is some serious power on this vacuum! I have been a long time user of cordless vacuums, but was curious to see the difference. Yes, plugging it in and being tethered to the wall is slightly annoying, but honestly it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The cord is long enough to really get what I need to get done in any given area of my house. I was very impressed with how powerful and thorough this vacuum was. We have light floors, a black dog and a black cat. Even though I thought I was getting a lot of the hair with my cordless vacuum the carpets still just looked kind of dingy… not anymore. Turns out there was hair still stuck in the rugs. I really appreciated the lights, I have never had a vacuum with that feature before, but I see the value now (no pun intended). Overall this is a very solid stick vacuum, I was impressed with its power and would not hesitate to recommend it to those with families (the crumbs!!) and/or pets.
Great everyday vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Genuinely curious where this vacuum has been all my life. I have been sweeping my hardwood floors like an 1800’s pioneer woman for far too long. I guess I didn’t know what I was missing. The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder is perfect for everyday messes that you need to quickly clean up. I have been able to easily suck up pet hair, skittles, glitter, small legos, dog toy stuffing, mulch and just about any other mess dogs/kids can make. It does struggle to pick up larger things, like a big piece of mulch or a large wrapper, but overall the suction power is great. The self standing design is so convenient. You can stop vacuuming and leave the vacuum right where it stands, without worrying it’s going to fall over and ding the walls. I love that the vacuum is corded because I really think that strengthens suction power compared to battery operated vacuums. The headlights are 10/10. I honestly do not think I could purchase another vacuum that did not have headlights. It’s shocking all of the pet hair and crumbs I would miss without it. I am also impressed with how versatile this vacuum is. You can use it for big messes, or make it a handheld vacuum for little messes. It comes with many different attachments that allow you to customize the vacuum based on the mess. It even comes with a bag to hold said attachments. This Bissell is great on carpet and hardwood, although I prefer it on the hardwood. It’s versatile and convenient making it a great every day vacuum for everyday messes.
Lightweight and Heavy Duty Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm thrilled that I got to try the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder in exchange for a review from Stellar Panel. This vacuum is so lightweight that I can carry it with one hand up and down the stairs in my home! Having such a lightweight and easy to maneuver vacuum helps me not dread vacuuming duty so much! This vacuum is great at cleaning up heavy messes on the carpet and really gets all of the cat hair in all of the corners of my home. Even though the tank in the vacuum isn't huge it is so easy to empty as needed with no mess. This vacuum is great for anyone with pets and kids like me who needs a lightweight and easy to use vacuum that actually works.
