SurfaceSense Lift-Off Pet

I currently have a dyson v10 animal that I got for my grandma and myself with our 2 cats. During long cleaning sessions the vaccume would run out of battery and my grandma's dyson DC 14 is too old in age. I went with a shark Navigator didnt work with the cat hair. Went with another shark the shark lift away with power fins I liked the construction but didnt agitate our large area rug enough to dig into the pet hair. Then got a dyson animal ball 3 too heavy and too much suction for my grandma to push when she needed to vaccume. Ultimately set on this the bissell I love the stronger motor but what I love is the solid construction for the price ease of use and pet tools. I love the ability for me to provide maintenance on it without having to take it to a dedicated shop. Carpet agitation and ability to pick up cat hair is amazing. The suction on our hardwood floors could be better but this vacuum on rugs is absolutely amazing. The power in my opinion is kore then enough. I would recommend this product howver evyone has there personal preference.

This vacuum is amazing. When I read that it it was great for dog hair I was doubtful that it could take on a Golden Retriever. Owners out there know what cleaning dog hair with a Goldie is almost impossible. I have pictures that I’m so embarrassed to post. This much dog hair should not be left behind. How was I breathing this much. I definitely give this vacuum 5 stars or more.

Love this vacuum. Performs great. Worth the money. Amazing if you have pets. The attachments are useful with lights. Easy to use. Suction is wonderful. Different settings for different types of floors.

So we currently have a Dyson, which is a great vacuum, very powerful. However, we have two long haired German shepherds and a wife with long hair. With the Dyson hair wrap around the roller is a huge problem. And cleaning the hair off the roller is a PITA. So we were looking for an alternative. We gave this a shot on a prime Day deal which was a good price. I must say I'm very impressed with this vacuum. I don't believe it's quite as powerful as the Dyson, but it manages the hair much better. Hair still gets wrapped on the roller but it falls down into the channels meant for it and the tabs help protect and keep the bristles clear so it can continue to rake the carpet. A lot of the other features some I didn't think I would really care for, such as being able to lift it off the base, are actually really nice. Being able to operate the wand without having to unwrapped the cord, dumping the bin is really easy without having to reach up in the canister like I do with the Dyson sometimes. So overall it's been a great vacuum. One word of advice. If you're going to cut the hair off the roller don't turn the vacuum on thinking it will suck the hair up into the canister, it's going to get caught up on the tabs. So if you cut the hair just pull it off manually to clear it. The weight is lighter than the Dyson and it's a nice maneuverable vacuum. I would recommend this for those who have a dog hair challenge like we did.

Shortcomings/complaints: The hose is waaay too short/taught, and the center of balance seems off- like it's top heavy somehow. Almost every time I try to use the hose, even for stuff within arm's reach of the vacuum, the slightest tension on the hose pulls the whole machine over. The vacuum being detachable from the head is advertised as a feature when in reality it's pretty much a requirement any time you want to use the hose. I find this awful on my back, and it could have been much better had they given the hose a just a little more length. Maintenance is alright, except for the brush rollers- Any time something gets caught in the rollers you have to take the vacuum head apart with a screw driver and remove something like 5 or 6 small screws- having to do this multiple times in the same cleaning session is a huge time sink. Small random stuff (like tiny candy wrappers) that shouldn't be an issue to vacuum end up jamming the roller, adding to the frustration. I sucked up a bobby pin on accident and it ended up cracking the plastic housing that a screw on the head mounts into, and now it makes a horrible grinding and rattling sound any time the brush is turned on. I've sucked up hundreds of bobby pins with a dozen different vacuums, and all those survived just fine, but the first one this one tasted took it out. Good stuff: The tank is easy to empty, and the filters are easy to clean and replace, which is a plus. The lights on the vacuum head help you see all the little bits that you might not see otherwise, which is a feature I greatly appreciate. Conclusion: It's an okay vacuum, but has some glaring issues that will have me looking elsewhere when the time comes to replace it- which I feel is going to be much sooner than I would have hoped for how much this machine costs (not satisfied with the value for money). EDIT Hose randomly tore open at the base, making the whole unit completely useless after less than one year. Worst investment in a vacuum I've ever made.

I have owned a Dyson for more than 15 years. So after my Dyson stopped, picking up the smallest of things, I knew it was time for a new vacuum. I was never really satisfied with my Dyson so I went to my friends to find what they had, they all had a Bissell vacuum. so I went to Amazon found a Bissell that I absolutely love when it arrived. I ran my Dyson over my carpet then I ran my Bissell. I was shocked at how much more the Bissell picked up. I wish I had known about this vacuum years ago the LED lighting is fantastic it shows everything on my floor so I know that the vacuum has picked it up also on the wand that goes down deep into your cushions, also has an LED lighting wow this was just amazing to me. The suction is very good. It’s easy to assemble and so very easy to empty the band. I recommend this Bisso to everyone and anyone who’s thinking of buying a vacuum. I’m in my 70s and I can tell you this is the vacuum I’ve ever owned. Also I have a long hair cat and it does a wonderful job picking up her hair.

Excellent little vacuum. What I like: It it easy to use, easy to disassemble, easy to clean. It rolls nicely without scratching the floor, it pivots, the hose detaches easily, you can disengage the wheel base and just carry the canister and hose to vac stairs. It has a light on the beater bar and a light on the wand attachment, it's got a mini beater bar for furniture and it is light enough to carry upstairs. What I wish were better: I wish it had a longer powr cable. I know I can use an extension cord, but an extra 6 feet on the cord would be nice. I wish that the beater bar was a little bit bigger. It is acceptable as is, but would be better if it were a bit bigger. I wish it came with a bigger brush attachment that had more bristles. Puny is the word I would use for the brush it came with. That's it. Other than a few tweeks, this is doing the job for my multi-dog, mega-multi-cat house.

Lightweight. It detaches so I use it for car and home. Powerful suction gets all the pet hair with no problem. The light is a feature I didn’t know I needed.
