Bissell® SurfaceSense™ Pet Multi-Surface Vacuum, 28179

This is a wonderful vacuum! I got it for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! It works so good and she loves all the attachments and the fact that it is so easy to use. Easy to dump out and not have to worry about buying bags. You won’t be disappointed! Great quality!

This is the third Bissell Pet Allergen vacuum I have bought. The first was for a cabin; I loved it so much I bought another for our home. When we discovered a severe mold issue and sensitivity, I used the one we had to vacuum and decontaminate our items but decided to purchase a new one when we moved to start fresh. Having a sealed HEPA system was very important! This was an upgraded model, and while I missed the retractable cord, I was thrilled with the lift-off system.Pros:I have intermittent back issues that keep me from using a heavy vacuum. While this is not the most lightweight vacuum, it pushes with such ease that I wondered if it was self-propelled. When the pod is removed for detachable, canister vacuuming it is light. This is such an upgrade, as we previously had to have one person move the base of the vacuum with the hose while another person used the attachment, or else the vacuum would tip over. Great design upgrade!The headlight on the front illuminates every dust, crumb, and hair, so I get as much picked up as possible. This light was much stronger than the previous model I had.The Sealed HEPA Allergen System is the most important for us at this time. This means it has a HEPA filter that captures and holds 99.97% of the dust and particles inside without blowing them back out, up to 0.3 microns.The power of this vacuum far surpasses any other vacuum I have used. It is incredibly easy to maneuver and almost feels as if it is helping propel itself. The surface technology that automatically shifts from carpet to hardwood is a huge bonus.The canister is easy to empty from the bottom. It removes with a push of a button, and the bottom opens to empty debris with another push of a button.Cons:The only thing I miss from the previous model is the retractable cord. On the other hand, my kids do not miss it as sometimes it would retract unpredictably and wildly.

been using this for a while now and it’s held up really good. Picks up all the dirt we need, not too heavy to carry up the stairs and suction is actually great. It is pretty easy to clean and so far we’ve had no issues and only a positive experience with this cleaner.

Adulthood is : being so excited about a vacuum you have to review it .I was torn between a shark and a bissell , but I’ve always owned bissell and even the cheaper models last me at least a couple years or regular use.I am very happy with this purchase. The light on the front is the best as it shows me EVERYTHING I missed beforeMANEUVERABILITY : It’s not too heavy for me to carry up stairs ( but it is heavy) and it rolls smooth. I appreciate the feature that allows the tank to detach from the base but I don’t use it really.SUCTION: Actually the suction is great. I was thinking I would get a shark because I heard they are better on hard wood floors . But this vacuum does the job as well as I could want it to.My floors are so much cleaner than they were with my old vacuumTANK: I empty my tank after every vacuum. It’s super quick and easy so tank size is not an issue for meATTACHMENTS :I had no idea but the narrow attachment for the hose has a LIGHT on it . You guys …. I am ashamed to admit the joy that small detail gave me .The spinning turbo brush is GREAT too. My last vacuum had one and I used it until it brokeCONS : Here’s what you really came for lolSo far I only have a couple.Most vacuums have a pedal or something to unlock the bottom from the body of the vacuum while you use it .This one doesn’t have a pedal- you just hold the bottom down with your foot and tilt the handle back. Whatever mechanism locks it back into and upright position is too sensitive and I find myself having to release it oftenNeutral: the surface sense means the brushes turn off if something gets tangled in it . I love this because it protects the vacuum from breaking!!!!But it also turns off if you vacuum a flimsy rug ( you know, the kind you have trouble going over with pretty much any vacuum anyway)Not a problem for me really

LOVE this vacuum. The CleanSense feature is awesome - it detects if you're on carpet or hardwood and adjusts the settings to the type of floor. It's super light, works GREAT. Really worth what you are paying. And the canister holds a lot of dirt/hair/debris. I've tried Hoover and Shark, and this is the best one I've had by a long shot.
