BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum 4.5" Cleaning Path Purple: Lightweight, Bagless, Handheld Vacuum for Carpet & Hard Floor

A: It lasts longer than 20 minutes. I use it to vacuum my stairs, couches, and dog beds every two days, and that takes me longer than 20 minutes.

A: I just got mine and 20 minutes seems pretty close to how long it lasted for me.

A: Hi Linda. It has up to 20 minutes of run-time when fully charged.

A: That is a great question! The Pet Hair Eraser Lithium Ion Hand Vacuum comes with an upholstery tool attachment that is perfect for pet hair pickup! If you need this tool it can be purchased directly from BISSELL, give us a call at 1-800-237-7691. Stay Pawsitive!

A: The features section shows 14.4.

A: This is a battery powered cordless machine. It is 14.4 V.

A: Hi Marilou. This vacuum is comparable in sound level to other handheld vacuum cleaners.

A: This handheld vac is actually quite loud. It might wake someone up! Seems almost louder than my Bissell Featherweight Cordless STICK vacuum (which doubles as a handheld). But it has great suction.

A: No, this handheld model does not come with a wall-mounted charging station. The BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum charges with a plug-in charger, and it’s designed to be stored on a shelf, countertop, or in a cabinet rather than mounted on the wall. If you’re looking for something with a dock or wall mount, we can help point you to a stick vacuum that includes that feature.

A: If you don’t let the vacuum charge for the full 8 hours before the first use, it will still run—but you may get shorter runtime and less consistent performance. That initial full charge helps condition the battery so it can hold a full charge over time. For the best long-term battery life, we recommend letting it fully charge before using it the first time.

A: Hi there! We don’t publish a kPa (suction pressure) rating for the Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum, so we’re not able to provide that specific spec. What we can share is that it’s designed to deliver strong, targeted suction for quick pet mess pick-up on carpets, upholstery, and hard surfaces. If you’re looking for more detailed performance info, our product support team would be happy to help—just let us know and we can point you in the right direction!

A: Yes, it can handle dry cat litter—especially smaller, lightweight pieces. The BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum has strong suction for a handheld and does well on hard floors, upholstery, and spot cleanups around litter boxes.

A: Hi Cortney! For a shaggy rug with ~1‑inch fibers, the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum may pick up some surface debris, but it won’t reliably reach debris deep down in high‑pile or shag rugs. Hand vacs are best for spot cleanups and low‑pile carpet, not thick fibers where dirt settles below the surface. For that type of rug, we recommend a full‑size vacuum with adjustable height or a motorized brush roll for better reach and pickup.

A: Hi Rosemary! The BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum takes about 5 hours to fully charge from empty. The charging light will be red while it’s charging and will turn off once the battery is fully charged. Once charged, it’s ready for quick, cordless cleanups around your home.
