Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

I bought this to vacuum my stairs, and boy, did it deliver!! I have two dogs and 2 cats, so as you can imagine, it gets hairy!! Not only did it work, it exceeded my expectations. With the attachments that it comes with, I’m also able to use it on my sofas, and it’s pretty perfect for those pesky little spiderwebs in the corners of the room!

This 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.

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.

attachments are plastic, feels cheap but the machine is solid

My car needs frequent vacuuming because I track a lot of dirt in due to my job, plus Im always on the go, so make up and food gets everywhere. The vacuums at the gas station never work and cost money. Lugging my real vacuum outside is a pain. I didnt want a rechargeable vacuum, because they rarely have good suction and the batteries eventually lose their ability to retain power. This little vacuum eliminates all of the aforementioned issues. Suction is great, its small and takes up very little storage room, and taking it outside it not a hardship. The attachments are perfect. No complaints.

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!

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.

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.

It actually works, has a long cord to get upstairs. Cleans the corners and is lightweight.

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.
