Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

Having the right tool for the job makes all difference! I just received this vacuum today. I bought it for the specific purpose of vacuuming my stairs, which has always been a frustrating task for me. I have tried various vacuum cleaners. The large ones are cumbersome on the stairs and often the attachments are not powerful enough to get everything up, especially in the crevices. The handheld ones I have tried have not had adequate suction to really get up all the debris. This little vacuum, however, did a fabulous job. I used the regular surface head first, and then the crevice tool for the crevices. It was easy to switch back and forth between the two as I worked. When I dug my fingers into the crevice at the stairs I did NOT pull out a bunch of debris because the vacuum got it all. Then I went back over with the pet hair brush and it really fluffed up the carpet so it looked refreshed. It was not a necessary step for cleanliness as the first two attachments took care of getting all the hair and debris, but it really made it look nicer. Took me fifteen minutes to do a whole flight of stairs this way. The longer cord is most definitely a plus for this task also. I am so glad I purchased this vacuum. I feel like keeping my two flights of stairs clean, with two kids and two cats in the house, is going to be much easier for me from now on. It is a fantastic tool at an extremely affordable price! Highly recommend to anyone who has carpeted stairs!

I love this!! (Bissell 47R51) Its so easy to use, carry around, switch out attachments, and empty. At first I thought the rubber head attachment was going to be annoying to use and useless, but it is AMAZING at scraping up pet hair from carpet. I shaved my long haired dachshund in a room with a short weave carpet, and when I was done the hair was matted into the carpet all over the place (stupid oversight on my part, I know), but the bumpy rubber head attachment easily cleaned it up beautifully and only took about 5 minutes or so. The side of the HEPA filter that faces the dirt canister gets pretty gross with dirt and dust (the other side of it still looks brand new), and it cant be washed, but I just take it out and wipe it down, tap the edge, and blow out the crevices with an air can and havent had any issues. I dont feel any loss of suction so far, so I probably wont buy a new filter until that starts to happen, which I dont forsee being an issue anytime soon with my moderate use. Theres also a screen that goes over the filter and that part can be rinsed clean with water. The cord is a generous length. The hose attachment is handy and can be used as an open hose end or with one of the other attachments. The handle is a little odd since it faces forward, but the vacuum is lightweight enough that its still easily maneuverable and the design actually makes for easier access to the on/off switch. This is easily the best handheld vacuum Ive ever owned.

attachments are plastic, feels cheap but the machine is solid

this lil vacuum is powerful and a really good purchase. looked over a lot of small vacuums and went with this one, glad i also got one with the long electrical cord, not have to concern myself with charging it. recommend it very highly

First flaw in design, as many others reported, it blows out air (on the sides) as hard as it sucks in air. You’ll feel it at your face and arms. Second flaw, it has a [silicon Rubber, not plastic] suction mouth (gray) which get stuck badly on the carpet. Who designed this? Meaning you can’t (I repeat, you Can’t) use it bare, it stuck on the carpet, fabric sofas and couches immediately—Not very efficient when trying to push and pull. You’ll be dragging instead. However, there are external attachments, but they are too darn small which defeat the purpose vacuuming effectively. You want to use the handle and push and pull—but you Can’t. Maybe for car vacuuming is okay using the an attachment. But again the strong air that blows out on the sides will make you think twice about the purchase.

This is a really good buy for a small hand held vacuum. I dont know if you are like me and read the negative reviews or more critical ones first on Amazon before you buy a product. I read the negative ones first and took them in consideration before buying this vacuum but it wasnt enough to justify not getting it. Some just seemed a little too nitpicking to me. I have a toddler and a wife with lots of hair. So the day can be quite challenging in keeping up with souvenirs left behind by either of them. One of the complaints I saw when I was doing my homework was the vacuum made hair swirl or crumbs scatter across a floor when youre try vacuuming it. OK. This is a half truth. It will do that because the side vent are exhausting a lot of air because the vacuum is pretty powerful. You can still vacuum hair without that happening after you learn how to use the vacuum correctly. I dont have a problem and its something with practice and getting the feel of the vacuum is what its all about. The suction is amazing. It gets every crumb my son can manufacture with his little hands. Some days its like an old fashion western showdown between two gunslingers facing off in the middle of town. I actually dont mind when he stares at me and deliberately crumbles a Ritz cracker or Chex cereal in my face. I now have a vacuum that can cover quite a bit and hold a lot in the canister. I use the wide mouth attachment mostly and it works really good for getting under tight areas. Im not sure how long it goes for it to automatically shut off and cool down like most hand vacuums do because I use it primarily for messes around the kitchen, bathroom, and couches wherever the baby is snacking. I really love this vacuum and it is truly a good buy. ddd

This 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.

I have owned two of these little vacuums...use it mostly on my stairs and does a great job. My only complaint is that the handle is hollow and eventually will crack with frequent use. Had this happen with both vacuums and with this last one, I husband-rigged it with lots of electrical tape and am still using it!

Powerful little vacuum. Great for cleaning stairs, it has a very long cord.

The vacuum has great suction power, its light weight and long power-cord makes it convenient to use. Its filters ridged structure is effective in catching dirt but quite tedious to clean. I wish that its accessories includes a round vacuum brush (such as showed in the photo), but unfortunately Bissel does not make one. To make the matter worse the vacuums hose attachment opening uses a non-standard 1-5/16 thus preventing use of plug-n-play aftermarket accessories & adapters. My only viable solution is to find a slightly larger diameter brush 1-3/8 and sanded down 1/16 with a Dremel rotating sander.
