BISSELL CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum, Fits In Dorm Rooms & Apartments, Lightweight with Powerful Suction and Removable Extension Wand, 3508, Red,black

This little vacuum is all you need! I have two of them and the first one I got on special at Walmart two years ago for only $40 but at twice the price its still a bargain!

I dont think theres a better small, 50-dollar vacuum out there. It does the job and it perfect for my new, small apartment. The cord is long, which I appreciate! Im able to vacuum my entire living room and kitchen without moving plugs :) It is VERY loud. Louder than vacuums that are much bigger and stronger than it. I certainly wont be pulling it out to vacuum a mess at night in consideration of my neighbors. The suction power isnt great. Im able to get everything off of my hardwood floors with one simple pass, but on my carpet, it requires two passes. It isnt that big of a deal... I bought this vacuum because it is small and I live in a small space, but it is something to be aware of. I can imagine the lackluster suction becoming a drain if you are vacuuming a larger area.

I cannot honestly answer this because I sent it to my son as a gift. He did say he likes it if that helps

The suction power is amazing and my rugs have never been cleaner. It picks up my dog’s hair and all the ground in dirt. The hose with the attachments works great and keeps my sofa hair free. Another great feature is the canister detaches from the vacuum so you can clean it out without having to take the whole unit to the trash. It’s light weight and easy to use. The only complaint I have is the hose could be a little longer but it works so well I don’t care. This vacuum is amazing for the price. I hope it lasts forever.

It is very powerful for being so small. Excellent for vacuuming carpets and inside the car.

I ordered the compact version for upstairs so I could leave it. Not that carrying it up and down would be a problem. It is very light, but doesnt lack power. I can carry it with 2 fingers so its very easy to move. Dont let its size fool you....it can pull so much out of your carpet down to the finest dust and pet hair. I read reviews with people complaining about how small it is....it plainly states compact in the description so yes, its a little on the small side. But thats exactly what I wanted. My only con is the handle feels a bit flimsy and the tube that you connect for the tools is a bit on the short side. I didnt plan to use the tools much so not an issue for me. Its not very wide (hence the description of compact) so cleaning a larger area might take a bit longer. But the cleaning power of this unit makes up for its small design. In truth, it pulled up more dirt than my 9 year old dyson so Im very happy. Hopefully it lasts a while, but it doesnt cost a lot so if I get a few years out of it with gentle use Ill be happy.

Really my only gripe is the stiff power cord and maybe the narrow mouth. Otherwise, it works fine and was a great deal(especially after shopping all the local big box stores for a similar product). Love the easy emptying dust bin. Seems to work as good as my Hoover that was 3 times the price!
