BISSELL - CleanView® Swivel Pet Reach Upright Vacuum (3198A)

I can sympathize - and I only have one GSD mix. 1) I have [this](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DF9GVK9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) - it runs twice a day. A real workhorse that costs way less than a Roomba. I use [this](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B6KSGRYC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) for getting in the corners, under the furniture, on the stairs, etc. I’m small and it’s easy to lift and manoeuvre around. 2) I take my dog for a bath and brush at the groomer’s a few times a year. Makes SUCH a difference. They get all of the undercoat out as well as those feathers on her haunches.

the Miele Classic C1 is probably the best if you want top-tier cleaning power with a super durable build. Handles hardwood like a dream and has adjustable suction for rugs. If you need something cheaper but still solid, the Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet is a great option too. I was tired of vacuums that either scratched my floors or didn’t clean my rugs properly, but [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Calidad_Precio/comments/1jcnyw1/best_vacuums_for_vinyl_floors_in_2025_gentle_and/) helped me find the right one. Definitely worth a read!

I've got 3 cats and long hair, the Bissell 2252 cleanview's been keeping up. Amazon has a returned green vac for $91

The bissell Clearview is garbage.

Personal opinion, I ask my clients to provide a solid, efficient working vacuum. All of my clients have one except for one and I bring my company vacuum. They are charged a nominal maintenance fee because it’s time consuming to clean a vacuum and care for it. It’s not good to have a community vacuum and definitely dicey if they aren’t the cleanest people. I’ve got one client who has a severe allergy to pet dander and others who have multiple dogs. Nobody has a shared anything and my clients appreciate that. Personal opinion aside, because I use many vacuums I’ve been fortunate enough to figure out which ones are great and which ones are terrible. A lot of it is just personal preference however, Shark is still the leader for me. They have some pretty great vacuums, equally great attachments and are really easy to maintain and care for. I don’t care for the cordless models but the Shark Rocket corded model is one that I use for clients if they need a vacuum. My own personal vacuum is a Shark Navigator. I just keep going back to it because it’s so good. Dyson is decent but heavy. The Dyson Animal works well but it’s super bulky and difficult to carry up stairs. They make a cordless model that has a great battery life on one - that version is 4 or 5 years old and is FAR better than their newest model that has the green light bar on the head of the vac. Max 45 minutes run time so you’ve got to be real careful about when and how long you use it without having to charge it again. A lot of the cordless models also have the charging stations so you’ll have to buy multiple batteries if you travel with it. If you’re going to invest in a vacuum though, Miele is a terrific brand. Not talked about enough but it’s by far the Porsche of vacuums. It is the lightest vacuum I have ever used. The suction is adjustable, it’s ridiculously quiet and they last forever! It’s a canister vac and can be difficult to get used to BUT…I’ve never used a better vacuum. There are a few cleaners in here who use the Sebo backpack vacuums and I know they ride real hard for them! I’m sure one of them will show up soon 😂 Other frontrunners are Bissell. The Clearview is lightweight, easy to use and has great attachments. Comes in a bagged version as well. Hoover has come back into the game recently and they have a pretty stellar vacuum that is comparable to the Shark Navigator. I avoid water vacuums at all costs. Just not practical. I’m sure this is far too much to now think about but now you know 😎

If at any moment money is a concern you can get a good Bissell vacuum at walmart for like 150 bucks. Something like a powerforce helix, cleanview, or anything in that style. I remember I bought one in 2013 and it was amazing for the buck. However not sure how is a powerforce helix now a days. I had a cleanview a couple months ago and it worked quite awesome but ate a ziptie and lost suction. However, great vacuum still should last you around five years. If your apartment is in Miami I'd choose dyson animal since they are in fact powerful. However they are at the 400-650 dollar price range. I have a Dyson DC24 used (old) which I recently got and its awesome. Dosen't pick much as a heavier vacuum but the ball technology is awesome and its fun to use so I can imagine how the new ones would be. I'd stay away from cordless vacuums. They are weird and when you use one it feels weird and it feels like its gonna die for some reason and are not as powerful. The heavier the better I feel tho.

Bissell Cleanview is amazing for the price

Nope. Had one of the ball ones over a decade ago and ended up replacing it with a Bissell when we moved and the cord wasn’t long enough. $30 Bissell canister did a better job. I’ve since added a Bissell upright pet and a Bissell cordless stick to replace my broom.

Dysons are convenient without a cord, but they do not run an extended amount of time. To get adequate power, my Dyson has a run time of 8 minutes. Corded vacuums are always more powerful and can run for a much longer duration. I swear by my Bissell Pet corded vacuums. They outshine my Dysons every single time.

my husband got me some type of bissell pet hair upright (corded). I looooove it. I’m not home to see the exact model. do you have a Costco membership? they have great deals on vacuums & if one craps out on you super fast, you can return it & get a new one! what type of vacuums did you have the issues with? stick vacs are ok for light cleanup between vacuums with a corded vac, but a stick will never be able to keep up with cat hair or dander. I’m always shocked when I vacuum either my expensive Dyson stick vac & then go back over the carpet with my corded bissell.

I have a dyson stick that is many many years old. I love it and use it daily. However, it is not sufficient for carpet. It gets the little bits in between cleans, but if I do a dyson pass and follow up immediately with my cheapo bissel standup wall plug vacuum, that thing picks up sooooo much. Just an insight from someone that's not going to tell you theres only two vacuum options you should consider or else.
