Cleanview XR Pet 300W Cordless Vacuum with Removable Battery, 3797V

Works great for our small apartment. Lots of different attachments. When using the second power option the battery dies a lot quicker, but its expected. Takes a bit to fully charge. Super lightweight and easy to use. Gets under the hard to reach areas and rotates nicely.

I don't normally write reviews but this is one where I want to warn others. I've read the reviews before buying. I had a cordless vacuum previously and was looking for a vacuum specifically that I could buy battery replacements for since I had another one die within a year. However this vacuum IS NOT IT. The entire design of the vacuum is so awful, it's not even worth buying. It frequently won't pick up anything on hard wood floors (even trying all settings), and gets everything stuck within the stick of the vacuum. I read the reviews about things getting stuck in the filter and though "oh that won't be too bad - all vacuums have that." This is so much worse. There's a little flap that goes from the stick into the filter- hair, dust, pet hair will all get stuck in the STICK of the vacuum so it won't even go into the filter. So the only way to get the hair and dust out is to stick your finger in the stick of the vacuum to get it out. Then to actually get the dirt & dust out like normal you have to take apart the ENTIRE vacuum. You first have to take it off the stick, then from the stick you have to click a button for it to release and pop out. Then from there you have to click another button to actually empty into the garbage. And since everything gets stuck in the stick of the vacuum, you then have to take the canister off the stick, then get everything out of the stick, and then get everything out of the canister and take the filter off. It literally is a 5 minute process EVERY TIME. Then another huge design flaw - if you're right handed the vacuum air is going to blow directly into your face. The vent is facing you as a right handed person will blow hot air at you the entire time. Not a big deal if you're doing less than 5 minutes, but if you're vacuuming stairs or trying to do an entire room it's annoying and gets hot. Another huge design flaw is that you have to push down on the head brush of the vacuum to make it go down and actually vacuum. It wouldn't be a big deal if it stayed that way (like corded vacuums have) unfortunately it does not. So if you're going into an awkward corner and need to vacuum something, be sure to make sure that the head brush is down when you pull it back because it will just go back up. And then the issue of the battery. What an inconvenience not to be able to charge the battery on the stick. I know some people wrote reviews about it being a nice thing because they wanted to store their vacuum somewhere where there is no outlet, but in my opinion, it's not worth it. So you have to take the battery off every time that you want to charge it which adds extra time to being able to use the vacuum. I wanted a cordless vacuum for convenience. This entire vacuum is the opposite of convenience and ease. DO. NOT. BUY.

Its great for cleaning higher surfaces! The attachments allow easy access to getting those stubborn air vents and corners, and the brush end works wonders getting hair off the edges of cabinets! I was able to use a step ladder and use the lightweight vacuum to get all the hair and dust up from the cats jumping up there. With cleaning it and reorganizing my kitchen they have really decide if jumping up there is appropriate or not! My mom is elderly, and she LOVES using the flat attachments and the self cleaning brushes thats on the vacuum end! We're using this almost every day since ive bought it and its comparable to a Dyson! Just WAY LESS COSTLY! Best part is, bissel donates to the lost animals cause. We have 6 cats, 3 are elderly and its so QUIET that those same cats plus the young one do not even run from the noise of the vacuum! Absolutely LOVE my bissel and I'm glad I got the warranty!

Overall fine with the purchase. It’s a good vacuum with several attachment heads and gets the job done, but two things to consider: 1) The battery is really disappointing. I read that in some reviews before buying and thought ‘how bad could it be?’ It’s bad. If you’re using this for spot cleaning, you should be just fine. If you want to do even two rooms in one go, it will die. My studio apartment is under 450 SqFt and one full charge didn’t make it all the way through. My suggestion: buy the extra replacement battery when you order this and keep both charged. Even with that extra cost, the price point is still pretty good and solves the issue. It’s nice that you can just swap out the battery unlike other cordless vacuums. So buy a few if you have a big place. 2) With enough resistance on the suction, the vacuum will shut off. This is a safety feature, I’m guessing, to prevent the vacuum getting stuck on high pile carpet, but it’s still annoying when I want to put the vacuum on the highest power setting and push through a rug or bath mat. Neither points are a deal-breakers. I’m not returning the vacuum and I’d probably it buy again if I could grab it on sale like I did the first time. If you have the money, buy the Dyson. If you want to save, this will get you almost there, but not totally.
