Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Full-Size Vacuum Cleaner, with Quick Release Wand, & Swivel Steering, 3198A, Color May Vary

I CANNOT say enough good things about this vacuum. I have used this daily for just under a year now and it consistently performs better than I ever would’ve expected, especially for the price point.I have a Husky and live in the south (don’t yell at me, she was a rescue) so it’s hot most of the year and she is constantly shedding. I also have a 12 year old large breed hospice foster dog and two kids with lots of friends who come in and out of our house so there is no shortage of messes. This vacuum picks up the absolute finest particles of dirt that you wouldn’t even see unless you wiped the floor with a white rag.I use it on tile, hardwood, high-pile carpet, and low-pile rugs. I’ve actually even used it in my attached garage on the sealed concrete floors (I don’t own a shop vac and needed to clean the garage, it is what it is) I’m pretty sure it would vacuum a gravel road if it had to. The amount of dirt, dog hair, crumbs, nano particles of dust it picks up truly blows my mind. Emptying the canister is so satisfying, all the dog fur gets spun together into a big fluffy mound and all the smaller particles are at the bottom. It can hold SO MUCH, it’s like a trash compactor, always making more room.Once upon a time I had a Shark Rotator Pet Lift-Away (a $300+ vacuum) that I loved until I accidentally rolled over the cord one too many times in the same spot and it quite literally ate through its own power cord (it stripped the black off exposing the inside and eventually stopped turning on.) I was convinced that I’d never have a vacuum as effective at cleaning as it was but the cost kept me from being able to buy another. Then I met my Bissell and was proven wrong for a fraction of the price.My Shark had a green light on the front and if I vacuumed over something I shouldn’t have or something got stuck, the light turned red and the brushes stopped spinning. (It didn’t react quickly enough to save itself from its own cord destruction, just enough to be a pain in the ass.) It wouldn’t start again unless you turned it off and back on. As a single mom juggling 2 kids, 1 Husky and 1 medically needy foster dog, a full time job, and a house to take care of, I need to be able to roll over the occasional small Lego or penny on the floor and move on like it never happened. I don’t wanna bend down to check. I’m tired. My back hurts. These kids won’t stop asking questions. My dogs are howling through the fence at the neighbors Bassett Hounds. Water is probably boiling over on the stove while I’m vacuuming cause I think I can do things faster than I can. This vacuum understands me. It knows I don’t have time. I speed through my house with this thing like a rat in a maze on a mission to find the exit. I’ve bumped it into walls, dropped it down the stairs, tripped over and landed on it, and it just shrugs it off and keeps going.Did I go 4 weeks without washing the filters and when I finally checked them, they were like a solid brick coated in powdered-sugar-textured-dust? Yes, I absolutely did. Did the vacuum stop working, lose suction, or give any hint at slowing down even with clogged filters? No, if anything it said “hold my beer” and tried even harder. I just happened to remember it had been a while since I washed the filters and then felt weirdly bad for neglecting it.I’ve run over the cord dozens of times and it’s never eaten through it. In fact, it’s never even made a mark where I’ve run over the cord. It’s powerful enough to do exactly what it needs to do without being excessively strong to its own detriment.You know how Speed Queens are thought of in the world of washers & dryers? That’s how Bissell should be thought of in the world of vacuums. Reliable, built to last through a nuclear war, will out-live your grandkids and end up in someone’s estate sale in 85 years.Pros:- Preforms better than my expensive Shark did. You are not sacrificing quality for cost.- Filters are washable and easy to clean. They’re also incredibly effective cause those babies look FUNKY after even just a week in my house, then look good as new after being washed and left out to dry.- Virtually indestructible, incredible cleaning power, hose is soft & super flexible, easy to attach & detach, canister holds a lot & is easy to empty, never has an off day.Cons:- The little green bristles on the spin brush attachment for the hose do break off. 2-3 pieces have broken off while vacuuming soft surfaces like the couch. The rest remain intact.- It’s not super quiet. It’s not the loudest thing in the world, like I can still hear KidzBop playing over the hum of it so I know I’d hear if someone was hurt or crying. But it might wake a sleeping baby or scare your dog.- That’s it. That’s literally it. Buy the vacuum. Live in chaos but with clean floors. That’s where I am and life’s pretty good over here.I also have a Bissell Pro Heat 2X Revolution Carpet Cleaner, a Bissell Pet Stain Eraser (cordless handheld cleaner) and a Bissell Steam Shot Steam Cleaner, all of which I truly love and have held up for multiple years so I don’t know why I was hesitant to go for a Bissell vacuum but I wish I would’ve done it sooner.Bottom line: Bissell is the HBIC here. Couldn’t do life without her.

I foster kittens and have two cats of my own, plus a Border Collie — so pet hair is everywhere in my house. This vacuum has made a huge difference.It’s lightweight and easy to move around, and the suction is seriously impressive. It picks up pet hair really well, even from rugs and corners where it tends to stick. It’s not the quietest vacuum, but the noise level is manageable — especially for how well it works.One of my favorite things is how easy it is to take apart and clean. With how often I use it, that makes a big difference. I also like that it’s simple to switch to using the wand for furniture or stairs — I don’t have to mess with extra attachments or complicated steps.Overall, I’m super happy with it. If pet hair is your main cleaning battle, this vacuum is absolutely worth it.

I own a cat rescue and I have anywhere between 15 and 40 cats and kittens in my home at a time. I also have two dogs, an 80 lb lab with cancer who sheds unbelievable amounts of hair, and a 4 lb Chihuahua, who also sheds. I have had multiple Bissell vacuums over the years as well as a Kirby a Shark and a Rainbow. The Kirby vacuum bags got filled way too fast and we're $5 a piece not sustainable at all. The shark had horrible suction, did not remove pet hair from carpet but did great on hard floors. The rainbow was by far the worst, most disgusting part of it was having a big wad of wet gooey hair litter etc that you had to dump after every single time you vacuumed. It was disgusting. That rainbow lasted about 2 months and I sold it on Facebook marketplace. I then started buying bissells mostly because they donated to pet shelters. What I found was they actually made a really great vacuum! I've had four bissells in the last 3 years. They vacuumed great the attachments are fairly convenient, but I vacuum twice a day sometimes three times a day so I tend to eat vacuums. I like the bissles because they're price point is so affordable you can afford to replace them and it doesn't break the bank. This new Bissell vacuum has been absolutely amazing! I've waited a couple of weeks before I wrote this review because I wanted to make sure it did what it said it was going to, and it has. It has fantastic suction if you look at the picture that is all the hair it got off of my living room area rug this morning. I vacuumed yesterday at 4:00 for the last time. That was just since all the cats have been out this morning. I love the rotating ball swivel saying it is super convenient and it makes pushing this vacuum almost effortless. Another huge improvement is the brushes on the edges of the beater bar, it helps get so much stuff away from the baseboards it's fantastic it makes my life much easier. I also really like the fact that you can put this on the lowest setting and vacuum your hard floors with it and it doesn't scatter hair whatever it actually sucks it up. Another great improvement over my last Bissell is that the cyclonic thing in the middle of the dustbin is actually screwed in and stationary. There is nothing to break or fall out or get hung up on. That's a vast improvement. I love that you can detach the handles so quickly to use the attachments. My really only gripe on this is that it needs to come with another attachment wand that you could put on the end of the handle and extend it. I'm short so I need that extra extension to vacuum the tops of window shades. I like that the crevice attachment has a brush on it that's very handy, but for those of us who also need a crevice tool that is long and narrow I wish that brush were detachable, or that there was a separate crevice tool without the brush. Those are my only two complaints about this entire vacuum. This thing is so much improvement over the last Bissell that I have, it was well worth the purchase price. I hope this thing lasts a while, if it doesn't I'm just going to buy another one exactly like it, plus maybe a couple of attachments.

I really like this vacuum. Super easy to set up right out of the box and it does a great job. My only cons are I would think nowadays that all vacuums have automatic cord winders where you just hold a button but this one does not and I didn’t even think to check. I’m just kinda lazy and I don’t want to wind the cord myself or hold the cord while I am vacuuming. I also feel like the hose attachments are in inconvenient spots, like one goes inside the coiled up cord on the side of the vacuum. Those are minor gripes for me, and otherwise it is great, it’s so easy to empty no extra hidden filters to mess with like old Bissell's I’ve had. Would definitely recommend
