Customer reviews for Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded Stick Vacuum with FurFinder Headlights forExcellent Little Vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I opened my box for this vacuum, I put it to work. It was a straightforward process connecting the stick to the vacuum body. It is small and stands upright which makes it easy to keep in a corner of my closet. There are two modes - light and heavy which differ based on what floor type you're vacuuming. I have a lot of wood and ceramic floors so the heavy duty setting is great for it - with my rugs I turn it to the light mode so it doesn't suck up the rug and cause issues. The vacuum knows if it's the wrong kind of setting for the rug because it will blink and pause urging you to turn it off and restart, which I think is brilliant so your don't ruin your vacuum! I have tons of pet hair and messes from children and this vacuum sucks it up like a breeze. My favorite feature is the light! I am able to see under spots I normally don't pay attention to, and since the vacuum is a small sleek design, it fits under hard to reach areas. This corded vacuum makes cleanup easy and my floors are looking good!
Excellent for Everyday Cleaning
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used several kinds of stick and traditional vacuums on my wood kitchen flooring, I found them to be not as effective as I had hoped. The traditional ones had power, but often were too large to get between chair legs and other obstacles easily. The stick vacuums I've tried have all been cordless, which was handy at times, but a pain when they'd have consistently low batteries or would die mid-job. However, this hybrid (stick vacuum, but with a cord) has allowed enough power to be delivered while still keeping my vacuum cleaner light and easy to use. As you can see from my pictures, it handled the everyday crumbs (like toast crumbs) with ease on the hard surfaces, and can even tackle larger items (like whole almonds and cough drops wrappers) on my carpet. (The lighter dots in my picture were yogurt drops from that morning that will require a mop to clean.) The self-standing design is helpful during the cleaning process, but the vacuum doesn't have enough weight versus its height to make it practical to leave standing, especially since I have young children running around. I do store it in a closet. Thankfully, it doesn't take up much space, so allowing it to lean up against a corner isn't a problem. Though the cord is generously long, allowing me to vacuum several rooms without switching outlets, it all can be wrapped up easily on the cord storage hooks, which is very much appreciated. The lights can be very helpful when vacuuming in a low light situation, or in the evening when I don't feel like turning on the overhead lights, though on some surfaces, the light can cause a bit of a glare. It is useful for vacuuming underneath furniture, and the head of the vacuum is short enough that it can reach farther under my couches than my traditional vacuum. This vacuum truly delivers the best of both worlds: power that doesn't require a recharge and a lightweight design that allows for moving it easily throughout the house.
Never knew what I was missing without headlights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holy smokes! I never realized how much headlights would make a difference on a vacuum. I have hardwood in my living room and I didn’t think there was anything on them because they didn’t appear dirty. I turned on the vacuum and the headlights lit up dust, pet hair, and crumbs I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The suction on this is second to none. Obviously cordless vacuums are more convenient, but I don’t think cordless will ever compare to corded when it comes to suction. This vacuum SUCKS, (in the best way lol)! I didn’t think the self standing design would be that great or a feature, but it is actually really nice. Whenever I use my cordless vacuum I have to lean it up against something, and it never fails to fall over and knock the filter out of whack or cause some other issue. This one conveniently stays put. The cord is long enough I don’t feel restricted and reaches just fine from the top of my stairs to the bottom. The attachments also have added features: the dust one rotates which makes it easier to clean my vents that are up high on the walls. The upholstery brush has a velvet strip that basically serves as cling wrap for pet hair, and they come in a nice corded bag that can hang right alongside the cord. The dust bin detaches easily when necessary and has a little handle to carry it, which you wouldn’t think you’d need, but is surprisingly convenient when carrying it from upstairs to downstairs like I did. I didn’t have any issues with hair getting stuck in the roller, (which is also saying a lot in my family of 6, plus 3 cats and 1 dog). Overall, I was blown away with this vacuum, and would highly recommend it. There isn’t a single downside I can think of.
Great little vacuum needs a little more power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have enjoyed this little vacuum! I do love how it actually stands up on its own, I’ve never had a stick vacuum before that has been able to do that. The light is also extremely helpful especially at spotting the light pet hair. I vacuum every day sometimes multiple times, I love the cord length, I can nearly vacuum my whole main level with just one movement of my cord. The suction power I feel like it should be crazy strong because on my runner rug, i need several passes, and sometimes it still leaves pet hair behind in my rug, it gets stuck on high and will only glide one direction on one specific rug but not my other so that’s odd but I feel like on my hardwood and tile floors that it’s quite effective. The low power mode I think is maybe more for the handheld option as I found it too low to vacuum my small debris pile in a few motions. Overall, this vacuum is super light, stands in the closet wry well, the cord wraps easily, and the light is a game changer.
We’re glad you’re enjoying the lightweight design, self‑standing feature, long cord, and LED light on the PowerClean® FurFinder™ Corded Stick Vacuum. For rugs that feel harder to glide on, switching to low power or using slower passes can help improve maneuverability while still picking up pet hair. We appreciate your insights and are always happy to help at support.bissell.com.
Best Light Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this vacuum! The power and suction are great but the best part is the bright light shining from the bottom of it. I can see so much debris that I couldn't see with my naked eye. It easily picked up pet hair from my cats, small Legos left out by my child, and crumbs. This stands up easily and is parked in my living room since it is low prophile. It was light enough for my small 5-year old to use. Love this vacuum!
Powerful and Convenient with a Few Trade Offs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded vacuum does a great job handling everyday messes like pet hair, crumbs, and larger debris thanks to its strong suction power. I was especially impressed with the self-standing design—it’s very convenient once you realize it can stand on its own. The built-in headlights and swivel head help spot hidden dirt, though I wish the lights were more white than yellow, as they can look a bit off on hard floors. What I love most is the power and long cord. I thought the cord would be annoying, but it actually made cleaning easier since I didn’t have to keep unplugging it. Compared to my previous cordless vacuum, this one feels much more reliable. A couple downsides: the handle can feel a bit heavy, especially in handheld mode, and the dust bin is on the smaller side. However, emptying it mid-clean is still easier than stopping to recharge a battery. Overall, it’s a strong, dependable vacuum with a few minor drawbacks.
New Favorite Vacuum with Kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded vacuum handled all kinds of messes in my house. From pet messes to kids spilling dry ramen all over the floor everything cleaned up with ease. I was impressed with how the vacuum was able to handle larger pieces of dry ramen noodles as well. I loved how not only did the vacuum do a great job at picking up messing the self standing design made pausing mid vacuum to tend to my kiddos needs with easy. As a mom of three rarely does a chore or any task get completed without an interruption and this made those pauses easy! The headlights on the vacuum helped me find little debrief and pet hair with ease to make sure all was caught and off my floors! Overall I loved that the suction was strong and that with the self standing design I could pause and resume with ease. I would highly recommend this vacuum!
Powerful 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.

Corded Upright Vacuum with Amazing Headlights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mama to a bunch of adventurous kids and a few fur babies who constantly track dirt and debris into the house, I really appreciated the variety of attachments that came with this vacuum. I’ve been using the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder Corded, and overall I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5. It does a good job picking up everyday messes like pet hair and crumbs. That said, I expected a bit more power since it’s a corded vacuum. It’s definitely not bad, just not quite as strong as I had imagined. I’d rate the suction about a 3.5 out of 5 on the main attachment, which does have amazing headlights. Interestingly, the crevice tool felt much stronger—I'd give that a 4.5 out of 5. One of my favorite features is that it stands up on its own. It’s so convenient to pause and move things around without having to lean it against something or lay it down. The headlights on the front are fantastic, super bright and wide-reaching. They helped me spot dirt and pet hair I definitely would have missed otherwise, which was a pleasant surprise. My absolute favorite part, though, is the crevice tool. It gets into corners better than any vacuum I’ve used before, which is a huge win in a busy household like mine. Overall, it’s a really good vacuum with some standout features, and I’d happily recommend it to friends.
Incredible Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! What a surprisingly powerful vacuum! This baby picked up everything: crumbs, dog hair, and full sized pieces of dog food with ease. The built in headlights made it easier to see and find the mess that was undetectable, otherwise. The swivel design makes it excellent at reaching tight spots, like under the kitchen table, sofa, and bed. I didn’t suspect the amount of suction power for such a tiny machine! In fact, it’s lightweight enough to carry with one hand and even for my 5 year old son to use. The extremely long cord gives this vacuum the power of a corded machine plus the freedom and versatility of a cordless. The diverse accessories swap in and out easily and make it a breeze to clean dog fur off of furniture and dust out of hard-to-reach spots. Within an hour of opening the box we had vacuumed every floor of our home plus the furniture, drapes, ceilings, and high corners. All from only two outlets. I am intensely impressed with the performance of this machine! Every home needs one!
