BISSELL - PowerClean® FurGuard™ Cordless Stick Vacuum

Where to begin. Well it all started 8 years ago with a shark rocket I bought at a pawn shop that changed my life. It was light weight and had the most insane edge to edge suction. You know those cobwebs in the corners of your floors? Yeah it got those. Well it started smelling like burnt rubber so I set out to buy a new vacuum. I bought a sebo and hated it. Hated lugging it around and honestly even with a motorized head (k3) the edge to edge suction was nothing like my old corded rocket. Then I bought my first battery operated stick vacuum the BISSELL PowerClean FurGuard Deluxe 280W Cordless Vacuum. Wow. Battery dies in 10 minutes out of the box. Light is really nice but the suction is still subpar! Wtf!!!!!!! Why can’t I just find an effing vacuum??!?! 2 story home, mostly hardwood and tile, some big area rugs, pets. I didn’t think I required much but shoot I want crazy suction power i guess. Please help

We bought the Bissell Furguard from Costco on sale. Comes with 2 batteries, swappable brush rollers, solid construction, enough power that I can do low pile carpet. It’ll be on sale again for Black Friday. Totally worth it for $200 right now.  https://www.bissell.com/en-us/product/powerclean-furguard-cordless-stick-vacuum-4039.html https://www.costco.com/bissell-powerclean-furguard-deluxe-280w-cordless-vacuum-with-extra-battery.product.4000354460.html

It works pretty well on our area rug. The roller does most of the work and the head doesn’t suction to the rug so it’s still easy to move around. I can’t speak to other area rugs though. You can also return it to Costco if it doesn’t work for you. 

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

Little over $200 but we like it so far. Comes with 2 batteries which comes in handy. Nice light which lets you see all the small things you normally do not see. We use ours on a level with all wood or laminate. I'm very tall so after about 15 minutes my back starts hurting but otherwise it's proving to do a good job. We got it through a sale at Costco so we paid under $200. Copied from Amazon.

Which do you prefer, upright or canister, corded or cordless, bagged or bagless? What is your budget? Personally, I prefer bagged, corded uprights for regular cleaning. Bagged machines are more sanitary and require less maintenance than cordless ones. Corded machines are more powerful than cordless ones and (in general) clean more efficiently. I like uprights better than canisters for floor cleaning because I find them less awkward to use. For quick pickups and above floor cleaning (dusting, cobwebs), it's good to have a separate, light weight, cordless stick vacuum cleaner -- much more convenient than a big machine. I like the Lindhaus VALZER Eco Green bagged upright (I have the cordless version of this and it's excellent) and the Bissell PowerClean FurGuard 280W stick, but there are many other good choices.

Maybe check out the Bissell Powerclean Furguard Deluxe. Paid about $150 for it at Costco, on sale (normally about $200). We also have a Dyson V10 Animal. Although the Dyson is lighter, I honestly prefer the Bissell. Quieter, does a great job on floors and with the furballs and dirt, easy to empty, and comes with 2 batteries, so double the runtime. I like the LED lights which illuminate dirt on the floor you may miss. A battery seems to last about 30-40 min on low (and most of the time, low is all we need on the hardwood). Not really running it in carpet much (our downstairs is all hardwood and tile and that is where both the Dyson and this sucker live). 5 yr warranty and from what I read when researching before purchase, Bissell also has good customer support. Have only had it for a few weeks, so can’t give long-term review yet, but so far, so good.

If you have extra batteries, you can do everything in one go. No problem. I have a Dyson V12, which is widely panned here, but works great for me. Extra batteries are readily available and easy to swap. I like Bissell sticks like the FurFinder and FurGuard— relatively inexpensive and they work well. Again, batteries are easy to swap.

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.

For $500 you could get the dual threat of vacuuming options: Shark Navigator lift away (very strong HEPA filter vacuum) + Bissell FurGuard (cordless super convenient 280wt option) Just my recommendation as someone who has to vacuum at least once a day (technically don’t need to, I don’t even have pets, I just don’t like the feeling of dirty floors when walking barefoot) and who observes these canisters getting filled & my floors getting clean with just a quick few minutes of vacuuming

We have the bissel cleanview fur guard one and it’s been great for a few years
