CavalloAltoI know they are worse, but the odds of me running out of bags and then not vacuuming for three months are significant. I just had a second hand Bissell Rewind die on me. It was functional if annoying. I'm hoping there are better bagless vacuums in the world, preferably under $250. I have cats and carpet, and I don't want to walk on crumbs. ETA: The things that were annoying about the Bissell were that it was heavy, the roller brush wasn't that good, and I couldn't turn the roller off. The crappy roller led to me setting it too low, which eventually caused damage to the roller, which I cannot find a replacement for anywhere online. It survived 8 years of abuse, but I'm hoping there are better options. Also edited to spell the name right.
I hear you, but if I get one more goddamn appliance that I have to think about when I'm not in my house, I'll scream. I have hand washed dishes because I was out of dishwasher detergent. The Bissel lasted me 8 years, which is acceptable to me in terms of lifespan. Its failure was because the part that needs replacing isn't sold anymore. If all bagless vacuums are equally trash, so be it. I'll close my eyes and buy the cheapest one that Good Housekeeping could be paid to recommend. If there's any reasonable difference in the category though, I'd prefer to get a somewhat better one.
Ok_Connection_648Tbh I'm glad I'm not the only one that monitors my end product of vacuuming so closely. I have a Bissell pet pro with the retractable cord and it works very well and the freaking cord rewind is my favorite feature. If and when I ever replace it the cord retraction is pretty much a non-negotiable
Infinite_FirstBissel hair eraser turbo works wonders on this golden
ListofRedditI used to have the bissell pet purple one with retractable plug
Shroomasaurus_rexI got a $100 Bissell pet vac, black and purple one with retractable cord, from Walmart in 2017 for Zildjian and I still have it to this day. You don’t need an expensive one, I promise
Few-Performance3192Because I don’t have Miele money or even Dyson money, I took a gamble on the Bissell Pet Hair Pro. Do not be like me. It’s trash. $200 wasted
prayerplantthrowawayMy husband bought- because of me - the Bisell Pet Hair Pro
Ok-Age-2307We’ve had the bissell pet hair eraser plug-in standing vacuum for three ish years; it’s been fabulous. However, I’ve found when I have less energy it’s hard to pull out the vacuum and lug it around. Instead, my current routine has been to run around with the bissell pet hair eraser cordless hand vacuum and pick up the hair dust balls, and follow up with the swiffer sweeper pet dry cloths. I do that every other night and I’ve noticed significantly less hair on my clothing and couch.
I’d say the battery has been great. We’re in a two bedroom apartment just about 1,000 square feet. I get about two or three good runs, probably more since we got it in the fall and the battery is still new, before it needs a charge. I still use the full size for our area rugs and catch a lot missed by the hand vacuum, but for nightly “maintenance” and a couch comb over it makes a huge difference
