BISSELL - Powerlifter Swivel Pet 2260

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.

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.
