Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

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.

This 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.

The suction on this thing is really good. The cordless models I had been getting just lost suction over time - being this is corded, Im hoping it will be different. Easy to use, I like that the on switch is on the handle where your thumb can switch it on. If you set it down however while using it, it just flops over on its side. Not a big deal, but annoying.

attachments are plastic, feels cheap but the machine is solid

This plug is hand vacuum is so much more powerful than any cordless hand vacuum I have ever owned. It is light weight. The electric cord is very long which is another excellent feature. I will not buy a cordless vacuum again.

This little vacuum worked better than any handheld vacuum Ive ever had. It has great suction and does a superior job of getting the dog hair out of stair edges. There is easy cleanup on the canister and filter.

Ok for stairs as it’s lightweight and the adapter gives you the option to do both the stair and the riser without having to flip the device making it easier on your wrists. However there is a MAJOR design flaw with the exhaust system. If you try to use it for anything like a dust mess from drilling holes to hang something, the exhaust blows the dust around before it can pick up the mess. It made a simple cleanup a much bigger mess.

1) Reviews noting the weird placement of the vents are 1000% right. The air blows any dust that might be in front of the vac all around. You cannot use this as a handy little dust devil to clean up small messes unless you use the hose attachment or McGuyver something up like some other reviewers 2) DEFINITELY BUY THIS FOR PET HAIR! This has been amazing at getting my tuxedo Cat’s hair off of every textile she passes by. It only took a couple of passes to clean up her favorite soft velvet seat, which has been a nightmare with other hand vacs and power roller attachments from my regular floor vacs. 3) The rubber nozzle is absolutely genius. It has openings on both sides, so when vacuuming flowy textiles like blankets and curtains, it doesn’t jam up but actually removes the hair. Also let’s you hold the vac “upside down” if that’s an easier angle for your hand. 4) This was the very best corded hand vac I’ve tried, and I don’t even consider cordless because Cat gets around the apartment and there’s no way one charge would be enough and corded is way more reliable to me. 5) Cleaning the canister and filter of collected debris was pretty straightforward like on most bagless vacs. Summary: buy this vacuum to get pet hair off textiles, but not for general vacuuming needs.

5.006/18/2018 SO FAR SO GOOD: EXCELLENT HAND VAC FOR PET FUR PICKUP Best Uses Pet Hair on furniture and other pet sleeping areas Our cat and two dogs are allowed on a few pieces of furniture. We have looked long and far for a dustbuster hand vac which actually will pick up pet hair and lint without damaging the surface of the furniture and which has the suction to pick up all the hair. When our latest iteration of a hand vac died, we did some research and discovered Bissell. After reading the reviews we could find, we settled on the Deluxe Corded Hand Vac - 47R51. We were concerned that one review said the filter became clogged and had to be replaced often. Even so, we decided to order the 47R51 and we are so glad we did. It picks up pet hair far more easily and more quickly than any hand vac we have ever owned. We do not understand the criticism because we are able to empty the pet hair quickly and easily. We have only been using the 47R51 for three weeks, so our experience is limited. However, I would buy another one today is we were to break the one we currently have. We are not sure how or why it works so well, but it does.

Goodness, I purchased this for one reason and one reason alone; to hope beyond hope that I might be able to have a sofa that doesnt look like yeti. The rubberized end and suction makes it very easy to quickly and easily remove the inches of cat from my sofa each week. I can see where some reviewers were having problems with the vents, they do get quite warm. Additionally the tank is just a little small for my taste, and can get stringy items easily caught in it. But where-in I need it to remove cat hair from the sofa, it is a solid five stars.
