BISSELL CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Upright Vacuum Carpet Cleaner - 3198A: 3-Year Warranty, 13.5" Path, Pet Hair, 25' Cord

First off, I was not able to purchase in the store so I had to order. Deliver was post-poned 3 times. Finally delivered a week late (box tore open but I haven't noticed any damage). My Shark vacuum finally gave out so I researched and liked the reviews on the Bissell. It cleans really good but unlike my Shark, it doesn't have a power brush boost which made iit really easy to push. I'm finding the Bissell doesn't maneuver as easily. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. It's a nice, simple vacuum and will get the job done but I wish it wasn't so hard to push (low-pile carpet.

The good part, it has great suction. The wheels do not roll easily. They don't like going over different levels (many times having to pick the unit up because it won't roll). Even on a level surface, it rolls well backwards but gets stuck going forward. The 25' cord has only about 22' of usable length. They have placed the cord at the bottom of the unit so when you pick the cord up to manuver, you lose about 3'. The beater bar does not turn off when the vac is in the upright position or when you are using the wand. Beware what the vac is sitting on when in the upright position. The bin is hard to empty. Only the bottom opens and the center cannot be removed. Pet hair gets stuck in the upper part of the bin and you have to use a hanger or some such thing to pull the hair out. This happens no matter how full the bin is, not just if "over full". This works but has several issues that make it annoying/diffecult to use.

We bought this vacuum less than a year ago and use it once or twice a month. There has been no rough or mis-handling of the vacuum. The handle on the wand has broken off. Which means that you have to hold on to the plastic handle and the metal wand at the same time while you're pushing and pulling the vacuum to make certain that the handle does not come off of the wand. It's very awkward!! The belt broke recently with very light use. And all but 2 of the rubber teeth on the pet hair attachment tool have broken off. We have not misused or abused this vacuum. I have used this vacuum less than any other vacuum that I've ever owned. I have owned other bissells with no issues at all except for general maintenance (a new belt here and there, cleaning the brush rollers..ect.) over years of time.. I have never had this many issues with any other vacuum or steam cleaner of any sort!! Never! This vacuum will cost me more than $60+ over the retail price with light use and proper cleaning/storage, in less than a year of ownership of any other vacuum/steam cleaner that I've bought in the last 25 years.. I ran my own daycare for 12 years and used vacuums and steam cleaners extensively during that time.. I have never had this many issues with any other similar product, including Bissell products.. Maybe we just received a bad one?? That is possible I suppose.. But, I have never felt as though, "Maybe I should just buy a whole new vacuum??" after only owning this vacuum for less than a years time... It doesn't seem right to me..

My previous vacuum broke after 5 years and I specifically wanted one that swivled and this one is great! I love that it has the bristles on the side which helps suctioning dirt on the side when vacuuming onthe sides of the wall, I also like how easy it is to switch from vacuuming to using the hand held suction. I also love that it lightweight and quieter than my previous vacuum.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new Bissell Vacuum is our new downstairs, higher traffic area vacuum. It replaces an older Dyson vacuum that did well but is tired. The new Bissell is a fantastic deep dirt sucking machine! It's hard to believe what this vacuum pulls out of your carpets! Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased many brands that promise how good they are, but so far the BISSELL® CleanView® Swivel Pet Reach Upright Vacuum is the only one that delivers all the time.
