BISSELL AeroSlim Lithium Ion Cordless Handheld Vacuum, 29869, Black

My husband likes using it, but just wish it extended a little farther out.

While the design is very sleek and elegant, this is more a tool to clean up a few crumbs off your desk rather than to do any real cleaning. The dust cup is so small that it fills up in a minute, so youre constantly emptying it out. Also, the exhaust is too near the suction, so while youre cleaning, sometimes the air is whooshing your dirt away from you, making it harder to clean up. The battery life is pretty minimal. I feel like I can vacuum maybe 5-10 minutes before a recharge. I wish I had done my research and bought a real hand vac that would do what I need.

My old B&D hand vac was dying and I needed a replacement. This is much better than the one I had even when that one was new. I didnt realize how small this would be. I am not good at judging measurements. And I got it and thought, Oh this is going to be a loser. I was wrong! This has good suction and a couple of attachments. Ive had it about a month and havent had to recharge it, but I only use it about once a week. Just for quick pick ups. I really like this item. Although I often get confused about which side is the sucking side... Its so sleek. It comes with a stand that holds the attachments as well. Very well thought out design. If you are trying to pick up a lot of stuff, the collection area isnt large, but for quick stuff its fine. Very happy with this.

You get what you pay for and the BISSELL AeroSlim does pretty much what you expect. It has very small dirt capacity, and not great battery life, but, its also a small and lightweight device overall. The suction is decent, but not spectacular. My quibble with the device is that the power cable plugs directly into the device instead of into the base. Most people are going to leave the device plugged in, and the device is smart enough to shut off charging when its finished so you dont have to worry about it getting hot. But this means that you have to unplug it before every use, and then plug the cable back into the device after using it. I know, I know -- it doesnt seem like much, but, seriously, it would be a lot more handy if the power cable plugged into the base, and it just automatically charged via the base.

This was great while it lasted. I used it for small/dry messes in our minivan (we have three young kids). The battery doesnt last very long so I tried to remember to charge it often. The suction is fine for some messes but not for special/deep cleaning. Now after 6-8 months, the attachment no longer stays in place.

Bought to use as a bathroom vacuum for quick hair cleanups (post hair dry looks like a zoo). Works fine for hair, but not much suction. Awkward to use because it’s so small.

I bought this primarily to clean up around the litter box. I needed something small I could tuck in a corner rather than one of the bigger hand vacuums. This of course means it’s not as powerful, simply based on size alone, but it works well for my needs. It has no problem picking up all the pine based litter and sawdust my cats kick out. It charges via mini USB. I keep it plugged in all the time so it’s always ready to go. (I only ever use it for a couple minutes at a time so I am not sure how long the battery lasts.) The base is just a holder, you still have to plug it in to charge. It comes with a small nozzle/brush attachment that also stores on the base. One complaint is that the exhaust on the back can blow around the debris you’re trying to vac. To avoid this I just place my other hand on the back in a direction that redirects the exhaust air upwards and away while vacuuming. The canister is tiny, but big enough for what I use it for. I empty it after each use. It’s easy to twist off, tip out the contents, and twist back on. I’ve tried it on the sofa and it’s only ok. Better at crumbs, not great at pet hair stuck to the couch. If you really need something for upholstery you’re probably better off with a larger, more powerful option. For me this vac works because I wanted something 1) small and sleek looking, 2) that could clean up litter without using the full size vacuum every day, 3) inexpensive. It’s pretty good at those things for the price point, it just depends what your needs are.

I watched the videos and read the reviews, and I had high hopes for this handheld vacuum. First of all, the power button is in a very awkward place. You need a good grasp around the vacuum to remove the top to empty the debris and clean out the filter. Every single time I remove the debris cup I turn the vacuum on and have to rearrange my grip. You also need a good grip around the vacuum to try to put the brush tool attachment on. Once again, Im constantly turning it on when I do that. The brush tool attachment does not attach securely, and it came off a few times when I was using it. There is no secure click or anything to tightly hold it in place. If you put too much pressure on it, it comes off. I tried vacuuming a lampshade that sits over a heat vent that had cat hair on it. When I slid the brush up to use it on the attachment it brushed the hair off the shade, but it did not suck the hair into the collection cup. The hair accumulated on the brush. I had to pull the hair off the brush and throw it in the trash. With the brush slid down, the flat suction part of the attachment did not remove the hair from the shade. It did a pretty good job sucking up debris out of my computer keyboard. Ill keep it, and over time I may get used to holding it in a cumbersome way that keeps me from hitting the power button.

I brought another handheld vacuum cleaner and it fell apart, so I returned it and debated on which one to try. I went with this one and I am very happy with it. It is easy to use, and I use it almost daily. Its great for quick clean ups, especially chasing kids and my pets around. I am delighted with it. It is quite powerful for being a handheld and the stand is a great extra. Perfect for cleaning out kitchen drawers, small dry spills, incense ash, etc.
