Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Corded Handheld Vacuum, 47R51

Im halfway through a 4-week stay at a hotel and Ive got my cat with me. Leading up to this transition between my old home and my new one, I was apprehensive at the thought of living in such close quarters with my cat, dealing with his hair and tracked litter. Yuck!! Ive had my Bissell handheld vac nearly 6 months but previously only used it occasionally - under normal living conditions, its the full sized vacuum that gets used. But here at the hotel I use the hand vac daily. I have a lidded plastic container for the vac. Pulling it out, plugging it in and getting rid of the bits of litter and then shoving the vac back into the container couldnt be easier. It isnt too heavy, I love the placement of the on/off switch (you can easily turn it on and off with the hand youre using to hold it) and the cord is long enough that I keep part of it wrapped up in the pre-attached velcro strip. I find that I mostly use the straight piece rather than the rubbery attachment. If anyone is contemplating living in a hotel room - or other small space - with a cat, heres how I avoid having to deal with stray pet hairs going up my nose ... I place the cat in the dry bathtub, sit on the edge, and brush him down good with his rubber Kong brush. As anyone knows who has used one of those rubber brushes, they accumulate a lot of hair and while most of it sticks to the brush some of it flies around a bit. After Im done, I use the hand vac to clean off any cat hair that has stuck to the tub. I also have a sheet that I cover the bed with during the day and in the evening I hold it over the dry tub to shake the cat hair off, then use the hand vac in there. So thats my story. Oh, and it also works great around your tv chair if you happen to scatter bits of popcorn. :)

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.

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

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.

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.

attachments are plastic, feels cheap but the machine is solid

There are very few things Ive purchased that I rave about. But this is one. Ive owned about ten small handheld vacuums, and about 100 larger vacuum cleaners over my lifetime (literally, thanks to my Xs and teenage daughters ignoring my pleas not to suck up furniture, clothing items, entire wire spools, etc. into the vacuum. Bad for the motor). The small ones I generally used for my office (I was high ranking enough to have an office, but low enough not to have it vacuumed more than yearly), small apartments, cars, furniture, etc. By FAR this is the best. Dont be put off because it doesnt have a rotating brush--these just are bombs looking to explode. At a minimum they break often, and get stuck, and by the time you smell the awful burning aroma, the motor is cooked. This has plenty of power. The variety of attachments is imaginative and useful. The funniest use Ive had for it was vacuuming my profoundly deaf cat. To her, it the vibrations just felt like a purr, and even after a flea treatment and combing, it pulled a few fleas out which I could see in the clear filter. Forget the chargeable ones. They work well for about 5 minutes. Like any other vacuum, this will only work as well as you keep the screen and filters clean, so dont let them get too clogged. Theyre easy to remove and shake the debris out of, so its plus, plus, plus in my book.

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.

Best hand held sweeper I have ever owned. Love that it is electric.

Love everything about this handheld vacuum!
