> 24 hourI carefully read all the reviews of similar items to this one and am delighted I made the right choice. I got it today, read through the instructions, tested out how to take apart the bin, filters and attachments and gave it a whirl. What a great little vacuum! The price is excellent. Was astounded how much it picked up on the stairs and it took 2 times to empty the dust bin in between. The rubberized front is surprisingly good for pet hair; I thought it would get full of hair and need cleaning itself but it really loosens the dirt and hair without getting clogged at all. About the complaints of the venting on the sides and the handle being on the top: I love that the handle is on the top because I can direct the vacuum and bear down on it to get exactly the spot I want. And if not side vents, where? I loved my Shark hand vac but it died after a couple years of hard use. It vented out the back which sometimes hurt. Whatever the Bissell blows around on the stairs or the floor is what I want to vacuum anyway...so the dirt can run but it cant hide. If there are papers nearby or whatever, Ill just make sure the vents dont blow in that direction. Pretty easy to manage. Its so light and its pleasant to be able to see when the bin needs emptying. I like the double regular/hepa filter. I got a Dyson stick vac but a little part broke off. We havent had it repaired yet...it was expensive! Bissell is my new fave.

> 24 hourNeeded to replace a very old and very used Dirt Devil. This Bissell proved much better in all respects. Very long cord (thank you!), compact unit, great suction, and best of all VERY easy to clean. You cant beat this unit for the price. Picks up cat hair really well off all surfaces. Highly recommend.

> 24 hourCleans amazingly well for a small vac. Needed something for the pet hair in our cars. This does the trick and quickly!

> 24 hourAfter just using it a couple times I can say this is one powerful machine. Easy to clean. Way better than the handheld vacs of the old days. Saves your back doing carpeted stairs and efficient for getting around in the car thanks to attachments.

> 24 hourThis little beast is exactly what we needed. We have 3 kitties (4 when I bought it, the 4th was a long-haired) and they take over my bed every time Im not looking, which means there is hair everywhere. To combat the issue, we would de-hair the end of the bed every morning, then pull a lovely flat sheet over the whole thing and occasionally lint roll the flat sheet as well. We had been using the *MAGICAL* Pledge PetHair Remover (pictured here http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71B7dwuq%2BZL._SY355_.jpg) but ours was beginning to wear out and not work as well, so I tried to find another one to replace it but it had been discontinued. I ordered the Lint Wizard Pro to try and replace it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010ONK2K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) and while it did a decent job, it was mostly good for clothes, not the bed. I was just about to order a Costco-sized pack of the disposable lint rollers we know and love so well, but I decided not to keep throwing away money. ENTER THE CLEANVIEW DELUXE. I chose this vacuum because of multiple reports of staggering power, as well as an easy-clean permanent filter and a few attachments. I also love the Bissell brand- I find their products simple, well-made and affordable (I especially love my steam mop!). I had originally viewed the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser (http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Eraser-Handheld-Vacuum-33A1/dp/B001EYFQ28/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1453307516&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=bissell+pet+hair&psc=1) but I wanted the attachments. This thing is a perfect, permanent replacement for my lint roller problem. The only thing I wish it had is a lint brush attachment, and I mayjust have to try to finagle one of my own.

> 24 hourI chose this over the smaller cousin that Bissell offers primarily for the adapters that it came with. This vacuum isnt too loud, considering its got a tiny motor (generally the smaller the louder, whinier they become), and the suction is quite phenomenal. Previously we owned a cordless vac, which turned out to be a mistake, as the battery eventually died in a few months, and overheated to the point of turning the pearly white plastic case to turn a dark shade of sweat-yellow. Eurk. I have to say, this handheld is very cute. It reminds me of a mouse, and the color is pleasantly akin to a fresh wedge of cheddar cheese. It is very light, and the control handle is intuitive in both the left and right hands. As this unit is not cord-free, they provide a velcro strap for people to wrap up the cables. If youre careful, you can rewrap the cord quite similarly to how it came packaged, as the rubber/inner wire has partially molded into that wrapped up shape. If youre not one to roll up cables properly, Im not sure why youd be looking into a smaller hand held vac in the first place :) A small gripe is that theres no way to store all the additional accessories of the unit, nor does it come with a handy pouch to keep them in one spot when not in use. Not a biggie, but still something that I feel was overlooked. Additionally, the tube that is supplied with the unit is fairly short. I find myself stooping a lot, so Im not sure if they kept it short to maintain a low manufacturing cost of the tubes, or if you lose more suction with a longer length. Cleaning the unit is super easy; one click and the unit pops out. Do this over a trash can, because a lot of gunk hangs onto the filter, which in turn remains on the vacuum, and does not come off with the clear plastic area, which means youll get some spillage. Using this, I was able to pick up bark from a plant accident in my car, bits of paper and fluff from in front of the dryer, lots of my girlfriends hair from the staircase (with just a few spontaneous fly-bys), even longer pieces of plastic, and eventually, I will pick up the feces of my new hamster, Zoey! For some people it might not be worth $40 to spend on a vacuum. There are certainly different brands out there. But this one really packs in on the suction power and comes with a generous length of cord, which make cleaning the stairs a joyous occasion now.

> 24 hourThis is PERFECT for what I wanted. Ive been looking for a handheld vacuum with a hose for some time for dusting. I have allergies and vacuuming away that dust is so much better than dry dusting or dusting with dusting sprays. The suction is perfect for this, not very noisy, long cord, and the vacuum is light and easy to handle and easy to clean. The MAJOR issue is that this unit uses Bissells odd attachment size - 1 1/8? - and the attachments fit IN the opening, not over the opening. You cannot use standard 1 1/4 attachments that fit over the hose without an adapter. The vacuum doesnt come with a brush attachment either or it wouldnt be a problem for me. I was able to buy an adapter on eBay and now can use all my existing attachments. Depending on what you need it for, but knowing the situation with the attachments, it could be perfect. But I wish Bissell had either included a brush attachment or included an adapter.

> 24 hourThis is absolutely worth every single penny. We clean our carpet/stairs pretty regularly, but clearly by the picture a lot was being left behind. I’m both appalled and amazed by the amount of cat hair and general debris this thing picks up. Buy it! You won’t be disappointed.

> 24 hourThis thing works great removing pet hair from upholstery. I have 4 gogs that live on my couch. I have a upright vac that has a pet tool that has proven to be worthless. This vac comes with a simple attachment for pet hair that really works. I was able to get my couches clean with half the effort and time I usually spend with my upright vac. It also come wit attachable hose and crevice tool, that work ok, but not as well as I expected. The strength of this machine is pet hair removal.
