Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Full-Size Vacuum Cleaner, with Quick Release Wand, & Swivel Steering, 3198A

I had an uber expensive Dyson. It was great on hardwood floors and tile, but in two different houses I blamed the brand new carpet or the carpet cleaners because it looked matted and old quickly. I had a pet hair eraser hand vac sent to me for Christmas it works so well on carpeted steps that I decided to try their full-size vacuum. I cannot say enough good things about this vacuum. The suction is wonderful my carpets look brand ( and feel fluffy and soft!) new it works on every type of flooring. The only thing I would change is * I wish the cord plugged into the socket a bit more snuggly for safety reasons. * I do not like having to empty the canister at the bottom, because your hands can get filled of dust or whatever you’ve vacuumed up. (The Dyson canister empties from pushing a button at the top. No need to get dust etc everywhere and on your hands. ) *I really dislike having to put my hand INSIDE the canister to pull out the center filter. It was really not thought through well. (Dyson pulls and opens from the top. Why would you want to put your hand inside a dust and pet hair ( and litter dust) filled canister?) Otherwise I am so happy with my inexpensive vacuum. Gave the super expensive Dyson to my kid who only has hardwood , and I don’t miss it a bit.

Ordered and delivered in before date stated. It is an excellent choice, performs beyond expectations, cleans up easily, and gets the job done!

True to discription except as for pet hair I have an Orange fluffy big guy and he loves sitting on his chair (so he thinks) the brush doesnt work on the chair. But thats not enough to steer me clear of liking it. Would recommend

I have purchased many vacuums and this one is by far the best. Works on all floor types and the removable wand is great for hard to reach places and snaps back into the base really easily. There are no bags which makes it easy to empty and the swivel makes it super convenient to move around things. I would highly recommend!

This vaccum is light weight and great price! It deep cleans my carpet and works great on laminate floor as well! Easy to empty the canister! Would buy it again!

I have multiple pets and figure that if I get a few years out of a vacuum cleaner and it starts getting inefficient Ill just junk it and buy a new one. This one was replacing another very similar Bissell model that served its time and went into retirement. This one is easy to handle, love the swivel feature and cleans very well. Easy to empty and clean out the chamber and filters. I would love to love it but there seems to be a flaw in the design. After several uses the brush stopped spinning and I could smell rubber burning. I assumed that something had jammed the brush and the drive belt was slipping and that was creating the burning smell. Upon opening the bottom to see what was stopping the brush from spinning I found that the entire channel that housed the rubber belt was solid packed with pet hair. Pulled it all out and freed everything up and the vacuum was operational again but I anticipate having to constantly check that housing to see if its clogged up with pet hair. My previous Bissell, which is designed almost exactly the same as this current on never had this problem. It would seem to me that, since this is being sold as a pet vacuum, it getting clogged up with pet hair to this extreme extent would be kind of impossible. Will contact the manufacturer with the problem to see what they have to say. Disappointed to say the least.

I just received this vacuum a few hours ago, but I dove right in. Right out of the box it was super easy to assemble. The only time I looked at the instruction book was to learn what the height adjustments meant. And it’s a good thing I did because even on the middle (3) setting, it tried to eat a couple of my throw rugs it’s so powerful. So, on to the test drive. I ran my new Bissell over an area that I had just vacuumed yesterday with a “stick” type vacuum. It was easy to maneuver - not heavy and the swivel action was pretty cool (first time with a vacuum that swivels : ) and boy, did this thing suck. I was embarrassed to see how much dirt and dog hair it picked up from an area I thought was “clean”. Dumping the dirt was so easy. I’m used to getting more on me than in the trash. But not with this dirt canister. Even using the attachments was a breeze. I cannot attest to how it will work on a high pile carpet as I don’t have one. But with the demo it gave me today, my guess is that it will work great. The instructions that came with the Bissell showed me not only how to assemble and use the vacuum, it also shows how to clean and maintain it including how to change the belt when/if necessary. And the directions were so clear and easy to follow that even I could figure them out. I suspect I will have this machine for a long time. The bottom line is, if you have dirt (who doesn’t) get this vacuum but especially if you have pets that shed. It really does a great job!

I was mixed on buying since many reviews showed damage or belt breaking. This is my opinion on those issues. When I used it for the first time, my hand kept getting shocked and almost immediately I detected a burning odor. I shut off the vacuum and realized the rollers were too low for my carpet. I raised the rollers to level 4, second highest and those issues went away. I no longer had a burning odor and my hand wasnt getting shocked any longer. Possibly raising the brush rollers may eliminate the issues other people were having. My previous Dyson, I would have to clean the roller all the time cause dog hair would tangle up on them. This vacuum I have used 3 times now and found only one long hair on the rollers. Very happy with this vacuum.

Clean dog hair with easily.

Finally a sweeper that sucks all the cat hair up and at a reasonable price! Very satisfied here!
