Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

This little miracle corded vacuum 47R51 by Bissell out preforms all of the battery operated small vacuums. The is because it is corded and has more power and also because it is a Bissell product, from a line of manufacturers in vacuums known for top quality and performance. I wish Bissell made this same corded vacuum in a hand held vacuum that could be one and 1/2 times as large so that the see through cannister would be able to hold more dire and hair and cat litter. The only disadvantage of this product is the fact that it is too small and has to be emptied more frequently than another vacuum might be emptied. The replicable filters are useful and do not cost much and do not have to be replaced at every emptying of the dirt trap. Also, taking it apart and reassembling it is very easy and much more logical than other small vacuums in its category. Remember, power is related to the ability to plug a unit into an electrical source. Forget about the battery charging units, the amount of time that they perform before recharging is too limited.

I am a review reader and was concerned about a few conflicting reviews on suction, also the outflow air blowing everything away before you could vacuum it up. I am not really having the same issues. I am using this in a fifth wheel to keep things from going south between trips home. I love it for this use. Our floors are half wood, half carpet and this does the job. The suction is very very strong. The attachments do all of the basics quite well. The only place it cannot reach is to the back of the rear couch, because nothing can really reach behind it. The cord is plenty long but I have outlets all over, so. But I don’t need to switch outlets except to change rooms. The outflow air is definitely strong like the suction. And sure, they could have changed the design with slanted louvres, or something to that effect. But being a bit mindful of which way I hold it seems to do the trick, and I haven’t had much problem with it, if any. The molded attachments seem sturdy, although the nose cup clips on with not too much of a “clip” which makes me think that too many ons and offs when emptying the debris cup will eventually wear away the “clip”. But not something I know yet so I’m just enjoying it. The vacuum so far is pretty much exactly what I wanted it to be.

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.

I am not a stupid person and it should not take a half hour to figure out how to re-assemble and install the filters for this product after use and cleaning! i am going to have to get a different hand-held vacuum cleaner- this one is too much of a pain in the XX$%**. too bad because otherwise it gets the job done.

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!

This cute little vacuum really works! It has a funny power switch on the end of the handle, a fat little body that holds the dog hair, a great filter, and a fairly quiet motor. It really pulls in that hair. And it seems strong enough to keep on fighting, because I have an older model that still works but just needed a new rubbery end.

I needed to replace my handheld vacuum. I was open to buying either a cordless one or one with a cord. I didnt have a strong preference, either way. I luv that it has a long cord (18 foot) & a HEPA filter. The suction is ok & its easy to empty.

I really want to like this vacuum more because it works so well on getting pet hair out of the carpet (I have a rabbit). This is the 3rd vacuum Ive bought to try to help clean up her pen and the wide mouth without any tubes helps with the stray bits of hay too. But the vent on the sides blow up the dust/debris before you can get to it. Its pretty frustrating! Luckily I read reviews knew to put some paper around the vents to re-direct the air (but it felt like it was getting kind of hot). I thought the reviews might be exaggerating, but its strong enough to blow stuff around on carpet and it was especially bad on our hardwood floors. Someone suggested using the tube attachments to get around this, but I want to use the rubber for the hair and I found that hay kept getting stuck in the tube when I tried on a different vacuum--maybe a problem particular to me. Update: I taped cereal boxes around the vents to make them point up and that helps it not blow away fur/dust not make it get hot. I wish it had been designed better at the start!

I needed a compact vacuum with the suction power of a large vacuum. The wired-plug obviously gives this baby more juice and I am satisfied with its performance. I purchased this item solely to clean-up after cat litter being tracked outside the litter-box.

This hand vac is basically the same as the model 33A1, but also includes an attachable flexible hose, a crevice tool, and a brush attachment. I think the additional flexiblity of this model is worth the extra money because the tools can get into areas that the larger head on the main unit cant. I have 3 cats, two long hair and one short hair, and a long haired dog. The main problem I had was the cat hair. The long hair mats into the furniture, and most vacuums I tried would ball it up and then pick up part of the clump. The short hair pokes into upholstery like so many little spikes. I sometimes wondered if they were barbed at one end to hold them into the upholstery. When I ordered this vacuum, I had high hopes that it would replace the numerous tools that I used to get most of the hair off of furniture. I was not disappointed!! It still takes some time and effort to get all of the hair, but this vacuum does it so much better in much less time. The air venting from the sides of the vacuum hasnt been a problem for me because the hair on the upholstery is not loose and doesnt blow easily. I dont think the purpose of this vacuum is to pick up feathers or dust from a smooth surface. Its purpose is to remove pet hair from furniture. Its very possible that the people complaining about the air vents blowing dust should have bought a hand vac that was designed for a purpose other than getting pet hair off of upholstery. In my opinion, this vacuum works great for the purpose that it was designed for.
