BISSELL - Powerlifter Swivel Pet 2260

I have a Bissell Power Lifter Swivel Pet. I love it, use it daily for our German shedder lol. I also appreciate the lint roller attachment, we use it on our clothes before walking out the door. But overall I love the vacuum it blows the hair from under furniture and then grabs the hair up, awesomeness. And our carpet cleaner is Hoover.

TIL people are super snobby about...vacuum cleaners? I have a Bissell PowerLifter and it does exactly what it needs to do, I don't need the fanciest vacuum. It picks up dirt and hair.

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.

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.

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.
