Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

Had a friend coming to stay for a few days who is allergic to cats. We planned for my cat to stay away by being kept in another room, but there was still the matter of her hair all over the living room furniture. I had not vacuumed the furniture in months. One thorough pass with this vacuum was all that was needed. My friend didn’t even need to take the Benadryl she brought with her.

I bought this for my carpeted staircase and for fur on my furniture. I love that it plugs in. That gives it so much more power than a traditional battery powered handheld vacuum. The attachments are easy to connect and the main one that it comes with is great because it has the rubber nubs that really pull of the fur from the carpeting.

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.

I purchase this exact model in August 2014. It has great suction even when full. I used it to clean my vechicles, between my couches, pick up dust when I sweep, when I am drilling holes in concret I use it by the holes while drilling and to clean my cupboards. I loan it to my cousin and his car was stolen with it in the trunk. So I did not hesitate in making another purchase. It is worth every dollar and more. I never replace the filter. I usually take it out regularly and knock out the dust. Note if you are using it to pick up concret dust and it cut off. Unplug, allow it to cool and clean the filter. Concret dust usually block the filter causing the motor to over heat. And it cut off but never burns the motor. I may buy another soon :) because my mom always want to use it. Lol

As of November, 2015, this still works perfectly. My biggest complaint at this point is that when I use the hose attachment, the hose is rather stiff, and if you turn the hose a certain way, it makes the whole hand-vac tumble over. I purchased this to replace our previous one that I burned out the motor on. So far, this has done a better job than our previous hand-vac, and the previous one did a good job. We have two cats, one of them being a long-haired cat, and this hand-vac gets the cat hair off the carpet much better. The vacuum comes with several attachments. The standard attachment has rubber nubs on the end and does a good job at picking up the cat hair. There is also a little hose attachment and a piece that attaches to that with a velvety material that does a great job at gathering hair from furniture. In addition, there is also a crevice tool to get into corners well, and works very well on stairs. The hand-vac is a bit noisy, but it gets the job done. I also see why people have complained about the air rushing out the side of the vacuum. You have to be strategic about where you aim the side of the hand-vac, or you may end up blowing all your dust and pet hair around the room while you are trying to pick it up. That being said, it is not difficult to manage that. I do find the handle to be a bit more awkward to hold than our old hand-vac, but not a big con.

Works well. Sturdy. But the side blower blows away hair - especially on steps.

I have bought many handheld vacuums in the past only to be disappointed with weak suction. This little vacuum has as much suction power as a regular upright!! I’ve used in my car, on steps, and blanket that my cat naps on. On every occasion, it works like a charm! Makes short work of any cleaning. Would recommend to anyone

This little vacuum has power! It is by far the best Ive ever used for getting pet hair off the couch. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat and they all get on the furniture. It sucks up all the hair. I love the long cord also. It works really well.

This worked really well for getting dog hair off the furniture. The cord is nice and long so I didnt have any problems manuvering. So glad I bought it.

I have a dark cat and a white couch and have been stressed over it for 3 years. Not anymore!! This lightweight. Easy to handle little appliance has changed it all. I now quickly vacuum my big couch down in less than 3 minutes!! I like it so much that I bought one for our family cabin in the mountains, too. Also great for window sills!!
