Bissell Cleanview Upright Bagless Vacuum Carpet Cleaner, 1831

excellent! Motor is quiet but sucks up a ton of cat hair that I’ve had accumulating for a month before I ordered this vac after moving into a new house. They have completely eliminated the air leaks that was a problem with the prev Bissell I had. This one is much better quality for about the same price I paid for the last Bissell (that one lasted about 8 yrs). Very happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to everyone. Good job Bissell, u knocked it out of the park with this model 🙂 When they say “one pass” they ain’t lyin haha.. the image was one pass about 5 minutes (4 cats summer so yeah.. they ARE shedding)

Update: Been a few months and still very happy. The only small issue I had was a somewhat sharp edge on the handle. I don’t know if a part was missing. It appears to be missing a piece. I wrapped some duct tape around it as shown in the image and it is not a problem anymore. I would not even deduct a 1/2 star since I am very much satisfied with the machine. I do as I always have done with previous washable filter vacuums (all from Bissell) and wash out the components in between vacuuming, as shown in the image. When you put everything back together (easy as 1-2-3) the machine is free from any dust from previous cleanings and leaves your rooms fresh and clean to where you hardly have to vacuum for a long time after. This really helps as dust does get caught in the hose, and the cyclone blades. Just rinse everything out real quick, let it air dry (as shown in image) and you are good to go a week later for another quick vacuum and a house free of allergens and dust. Thank you Bissell! You have a customer for life 🙂 (no they don’t pay me to write these reviews. I always liked Bissell from the first vacuum I owned and this one i have fallen in love with. Why all this over a stupid vac cleaner? hahah.. well when you have suffered from allergies as I have and tried so many different air filters, vacuums and this and that, nothing have worked as good as this machine right here. I sleep better, I feel better. As soon as I finish writing this review imo go over and her a big hug.

BUY THIS, NOW. You will not be disappointed.

I was in awe at the amount of dirt, and dust it was able to pull up.

My carpet was pulled straight up and clean, feels brand new again.

Best vacuum I’ve ever owned, EVER.

This vacuum replaces a Dyson ball upright, which was both more heavy, louder, and more complicated than this vacuum. I bought this based on the reviews, and while I’ve only used it for a few weeks now, I have to say I like it a lot more that the much more expensive vacuum. The only thing I miss is the ease of pivoting on the Dyson’s ball to switch directions, but overall like this vacuum a lot better.

I frequently need to vacuum up hay from an indoor house rabbit, and when the hose invariable gets clogged it is much easier to clean out than the much more complex Dyson vacuum hose.

Pros (compared to old Dyson):
Lightweight
More quiet
More simple to maintain

Cons:
Less maneuverable
Needs cool LED lighting for vacuum raves
