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.

I just bought the BISSELL PowerClean FurGuard Deluxe 280W from Costco for about $220. It comes with a second battery. I’ve only had it for a couple weeks but it’s great. I’m using it for the exact same reasons you’ve described. It has some good attachments too for tight spaces. The Dyson V11 apparently is good and has some refurb options on Amazon for cheaper than a truly new one. I decided on the bissell instead of the Dyson because apparently the dysons can’t stand up on their own, and that would annoy me. Shark vacs also had some good reviews overall.

I bought the Bissell 4039B (Item 1039913) from Costco and it's been great. No extra attachments that I don't need. Good filtration and seals. Battery is enough for my small condo. Plus it *stands on its own*; no time wasted trying to lean it on something, not damage walls, or break it from falling, laying on floor creating a trip hazard or bending over to pick it up for that reason. Charges to full in two hours so if I'm out of juice I can go back to it soon enough. It's also quite powerful, even on medium or low, for good battery time.
