BISSELL - PowerClean® FurGuard™ Cordless Stick Vacuum

I rolled the dice on the newish Bissell PowerClean 280w after having a Dyson V11 followed by the V15 and I like it a lot so far. Biggest selling point to me is it stands on its own and for the price of $199 I’m pretty impressed with the quality. It comes with a motorized upholstery brush which is great. Has nice LEDs even on the Upholstery Brush and I also appreciate the feel of the material. the plastic feels chunky and solid, pieces click/snap together nicely. The suction is shockingly good. I have never once felt the need to go above medium suction.. the V15 I would often have to boost or just put in a “higher gear” so far the battery has been on par with any other brand I’ve used and the battery is REMOVABLE as they all should be. The vacuum itself feels less “refined” it doesn’t have the same “sleek” and nimble feel the Dyson has but does seem high quality and more so robust. The vacuum is noticably heavier than any others stick vacuums I’ve used but tbh it doesn’t bother me as they’re all so light to begin with and the longest you’ll use them generally is like 25-30 minutes tops as they’re best use is subsidizing a bagged corded. The emptying is less quick and seems rudimentary compared to the Dyson in terms of you don’t “push a button to dump” but rather remove the canister to empty in the garbage. This could be a drawback to some but I don’t view it that way as less moving parts = less failure and the money for R&D could be used elsewhere, as well as keep the price down. So to sum it up I love that this vacuum stands on its own.. I mean genuinely that in itself was my biggest reason for choosing.. I love that it has the upholstery attachment included, I love that it has good LED lighting (it’s nothing compared to the V15 Detects system which is almost too good and give me a complex of the never ending dust) I like the material/build quality. I think for the $199.99 I payed it’s a great Stick Vacuum. I think Bissell did a nice job with this one I would deff recommend this vacuum to anyone looking in the sub 250 range.

We just bought this one, in the states and with a reduced price as we're members of Costco. Not sure if available in Canada or not but we like this. Battery Operated and comes with 2 batteries. Sorry. Not sure how to shorten this link. This is not a wet vac at all. https://www.bissell.com/en-us/product/powerclean-furguard%E2%84%A2-cordless-stick-vacuum-4039.html?languageok=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%5Badv:BISSELL%5D%5Bcou:US%5D%5Bchl:PaidSearch%5D%5Bini:Portfolio%5D%5Bplt:Google%5D%5Bfun:Engage%5D%5Btac:PLA%5D%5Btgt:PLA%5D%5Bcrt:StandardShopping%5D%5Bver:TestCellA-NNS%5D&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&PID=google_%5Badv:BISSELL%5D%5Bcou:US%5D%5Bchl:PaidSearch%5D%5Bini:Portfolio%5D%5Bplt:Google%5D%5Bfun:Engage%5D%5Btac:PLA%5D%5Btgt:PLA%5D%5Bcrt:StandardShopping%5D%5Bver:TestCellA-NNS%5D&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23061331389&gbraid=0AAAAADq4hs0vtJ06oo_s3y4wjWdNNoI4y&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_rL78di4kAMVImRHAR02axjNEAQYAiABEgIdsfD_BwE

We bought a Bissell powerclean furguard as a secondary vacuum for use on our hardwood floors downstairs. It works well for that purpose, but there is no way it would cut it with carpeting. So not the Bissell.

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.

We typically use Bissell pet branded vacuums! Nothing super "official" type, very consumer grade, but our maintenance dept tends to get most of those kinds of supplies for us from our local Lowe's anyhow! I love those big ole types of vacuums though, my grandfather has one and fixed a belt on it, turned it into a self driving BEAST 🤣

I just replaced my bissell pet vacuum (2-1/2 years old and busted) with a Miele C1 after researching here and in r/buyitforlife there’s some good information in both but you’ll have to do some digging based on what works best for the types of floors you have.

We always choose Bissell vacuums geared toward Pets! They seem to hold up better than our Shark brands and honestly, better than our pricey Dyson

Everybody recommends sharks. In my experience they only last a year or two and then they die. I have had the best luck with the Bissell pet vacuum. The thing is a beast it picks up literally anything. It has little bristles along the sides that get right up next to the edge of the floor so you don't need to go around with the hose in the edges. And best of all they're like $120

God, Bissells are hot garbage. Our last one (The "For Pets" model) ate a belt about every 6 months. The beater was at the correct height and I was meticulous about cleaning it. Just a bad, bad vacuum cleaner.
