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

This little vac does a better job than my old big one! I love it. It was priced right, it cleans my dust right up and it is light enough that I can easily trot upstairs and keep cleaning up. It has a small dust recepticle so I empty it each time I use it but that is so easy, it is not a problem. Read more

Works great on my hard floors, easy to use and put together, it is very light, also works great in cars. I especially like that it doesn't have the rotating brush because my hair always gets tangled in those, so this one is great for hair pickup. Will always buy Bissell because of their pet foundation! They donate to humane societies all the time. Read more

Works for what I wanted it for - quick cleanups, seems to be fine on leaves, crumbs, etc. Does not do well on sock fuzz on carpet, so don't imagine would be good for folks with pets. Lightweight, easy to use, and saves me from hauling out the big one every time someone tracks leaves in. Good for the price and also gets into tight spaces behind couch and areas that do not get vacuumed regularly. Good buy for what I hoped for, I also like the idea you can pop off the handle for a dustbuster mode. Be good elderly folks who cannot wield a heavier vacuum, but is not deep cleaning. Read more

This small and lightweight vacuum is amazing! Easy to use, strong suction, and perfect for everyday cleaning. Love it! Read more

Great little vacuum. Perfect for quick cleanups. Works well on hard and carpeted floors and rugs. Took a while to get a full charge on the battery and does not have a long running time on one charge. But just a quick vacuum through my house and it did a great job on picking up the pet (and human) hair, litter, and dirt. It’s light weight as a stick vacuum but can get heavy as a handheld with the weight of the battery. I gave it 5 stars for now. Only time will tell if the suction stays powerful. I have a small house but this vacuum still does not replace my corded vacuum for deep cleaning. Read more

PSA: Do Not Purchase If …. you have any area rugs, mats or carpet in your house! This does not work on those surfaces!!!!!! I normally don’t write reviews for products I buy but I feel like this review is important. A lot of reviews I read on products seem so fantasized and theatrical that it’s really hard to trust them or take them seriously. Vacuums are expensive and essential to keeping a house clean, so thorough and honest reviews are important when searching for a vacuum. I purchased this vacuum to replace my cordless Shark vacuum that I’ve had for 5 years. I have 3 medium to large dogs, two of which have double layer coats that shed so much and 2 cats, one of which is long haired and sheds horribly. I also have 3 kids who love to forget to take their shoes off in the mud room. The need for a lightweight, durable, strong powered and quiet vacuum that can handle the pet hair and dirt in my house is a MUST. I began noticing that the suction of the Shark vacuum was decreasing drastically and it just wasn’t getting my floor clean. The battery life was also getting shorter after years of daily use. So after reviewing and searching for a new vacuum, I purchased this one. It says it works on multi surfaces, furniture, hardwood floors and other various areas. I read reviews about customers using it on carpets without issue. I only have one room in my house with carpet and I use a corded Shark vacuum on that. The rest of my house is hardwood floors, laminate in the mud room and some area rugs or mats in various rooms. This vacuum does amazing cleaning up animal hair on hardwood surfaces. Cleaning with it is great and the suction is awesome. I LOVE the light feature that makes seeing missed areas so easy. I also love the design of it and that it came with the wall mount parts. I can use it getting pet hair and dirt off furniture, my cat tower, window sills, baseboards, curtains etc. Now, here are my major issues. My 1st issue is the battery life because it is awful. If you use it on high, you have less than 8 minutes. I usually stick to medium or low power which can give me 20-30 mins max. Those suction strengths get the job done on the high traffic area if I’m doing a quick run through. On furniture, bedding, cat towers, I need to use the high power setting so I have a short window to get those done. You can purchase back up batteries so when one battery dies, you can replace it with the full charged one. This can solve the short battery life problem which is something you can’t do on most vacuums. So, while the battery life is an issue, it at least can be solved with purchasing more batteries to extend the usage time. Batteries were around $30, give or take. Most vacuums have their batteries built in, making it impossible to solve a poor battery life issue. So that is a small silver lining. My 2nd and biggest issue with this vacuum is that it does not work on area rugs, mats or thin carpet. I have bathroom and kitchen mats, entry way rugs, and area rugs in various rooms of the house that are all thin. I only own the light and thin washable rugs because of pets and kids which tend to cause messes, marks and stains on rugs and mats. Unfortunately, every time I try to use this vacuum, it suctions tight to the rug and cuts off. I tried several of the attachments with the same result. Using the skinny and longer extension attachments are the only thing that doesn’t cut it off on rugs and mats. Those attachments aren’t feasible or strong enough for getting dirt and hair off/out of area rugs or mats. This has been my biggest disappointment. Now I need to find another solution for those areas, which will probably result in purchasing a new vacuum. I rated this vacuum a 3 because it still has a lot of great features about it but unfortunately if you have area rugs, mats or carpet in your house, this vacuum is NOT for you and you should not purchase it. Also, the battery life of this vacuum is 20-30 mins max. So if you need a vacuum to run longer than that and are not willing to purchase back up batteries, don’t purchase this vacuum. I hope this review helps others who are researching for new vacuums to purchase! Read more

This little vacuum works perfectly for what I needed. I wanted a lightweight vacuum that was easy to use. For the size of this it has great suction and the filter is very easy to clean. It can be used as a stand up vacuum or a hand held. It has a very long cord that allows you to sweep a pretty large area. No need to worry about a battery that needs recharging. Read more

I've had this vac for a few weeks now so here's my honest review. As implied in the name it is VERY light and easy to handle. Doesn't do much on carpets, which other reviews stressed - so I knew that going in. It's basically a small handheld vac that has a stick, roller, and cone attachment. I have sticky-tiles in my bedroom, and this does a GREAT job at picking up dirt, dust, and hair. The filter is sink washable (you can also buy replacements), and I'm happy with the purchase - especially for such a low price. Read more
