The unique Helix System captures dirt and other debris for even greater performance, whether you're cleaning carpets or bare floors. It does this by using the internal "ribs" incorporated into the Easy Empty™ Dirt Container to force large dirt particles, dust and other debris down to the bottom of the tank...where they belong! This helps the vacuum to work more effectively, longer. The HEPA Media Filter capture over 99.9% of dust mites, pollen and ragweed. Provides Surround Suction® to clean hard to reach places like baseboards and around furniture. Includes a long reach hose and on–board tools (TurboBrush™, Crevice Tool, and Combination dusting brush) to provide total home cleaning.
I have owned my Bissell Cleanview Helix for about a month. I vacuum often because I have two dogs and two birds. I clean other people's houses on the side, and have used a lot of different vacuums, so I know what I like. ...

belt broke first day, bearings went out of roller bar, smells hot, tips over, short hose, junk junk junk! If I could not put a star, there wouldn't be any there.
I never write reviews, but I was so disappointed in this vac, I didn't even finish vacuuming the whole house before I returned it. The suction was good, so good it pulled the fibers out of the carpet and then I had dustballs of carpet fur that the vacuum wouldn't pick up from the hardwood floor. I spilled some dry spices on my kitchen hardwood, so went to vacuum up and it sucked up some but blow around alot and I felt like I had more mess on the floor then when I began. I was totally bummed ca
use I needed a new vacuum cleaner. I was happy that target had no problem with me returning it.
I have a dog & two cats, we live in a studio apt w/mostly wood floors. I tend to vacuum several times a week so I got this quick & lightweight vacuum. I liked that it was cheep and not to complicated, but every time I used the hose/tools the thing would tip over on me. I can't count the bruises from how often this thing attacked me. I ended up returning it because of this. It's a great vacuum on the carpet, and the rotating surface tool is a nice extra in this price range but if your in
fear of your vacuum, well then... not amount of a "deal" if going to make the chore of cleaning fun!
I've had this for over a year and it has worked great! I replaced the filter, about 12 dollars at target, after the vacuum started making an odd noise and now it works as well as the day I bought it!
I read many reviews on the Bissell Cleanview Helix. Most of the reviews were positive, so I decided to buy the Cleanview. Bad decision on my account. We ended up returning it because it had little, if no suction at all. The attachment hose was HORRIBLE. It had no flexibility or length. Any time I used it, the vacuum would fall over or hit me in the head when I would try to vacuum the stairs. The attachments are also worthless. We returned it and bought a Hoover and are very pleased with it.
This vacuum barely picks up a small crumb or dog hair. It doesn't have a handle on the front to make it easier to vacuum the steps. It has a separate attachment for the steps but of course it isn't going to reach for the entire staircase. I'm surprised it got decent reviews. Spend a little more and get something better, you will be much happier.

Just got my Bissell and used it and WOW picks up hair nice, have 2 cats! Has upper and lower tanks both got full of hair I would recommend emptying both every time you use it. Dunno why people complained about this vacuum it works great. Would recommed this vacuum.
Dear Bissell Cleanview Helix Baglass Upright Vacuum Cleaner,
Never have I been so in love and so dedicated to one vacuum. Before you came into my life, I despised cleaning. The very thought of vacuuming the carpet sent me into a near panic attack, and I couldn't stomach the thought of the loud whirring noises... the tangly cords... the heaviness of the vacuum itself.
But you, dear Bissell, you have simply changed my life. Your light weight design makes it easy to manuever around my living spac
e, and your hose attachment makes reaching crevices and corners a dream! You are not too loud, and your cord does not tangle. Your body is so sleek and attractive. Your canister is so easy to empty, and I am amazed at how clean you get my carpets. You have revolutionized the way I clean my home, and for that I am truly greatful. Bissell, you are the one and only vacuum for me!
With much love,
Tara
We received this vacuum last Christmas and within the 2nd week of using it in our small condo, the belt broke. Then, a few weeks later, the top section started filling up with dust as well as the canister. We cleaned the filters and find we still have the same issues. So now we have to take it all a part to empty both sections after vacuuming. Its not even been a year and now the airway hose seems to have cracked. It seems like a great price, but definitely not worth the headache!
