Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lift-Off Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Homes with Pets

Christine Pinto: I do really like this vacuum. It suction is very powerful and it works on all types of floors. The pull off top is easy to walk it downstairs and vacuum the stairs. I have a husky and a black lab/husky so in the spring and fall there is tons of fur. This vacuum picks up dog hair really well. The one thing I do not like about this vacuum is the reachable arm is not long enough and the lock doesn't lock the greatest. I would say in the end it is worth it's value. I do recommend

Georgia Cunningham: Pros- The suction power is awesome. Really cleans. Love the long cord, but would love a self winding cord better. Love that it lifts off, but will discuss the Cons later. It easy to empty the dust canister and clean. I like the suction adjuster for carpet and floors. Like the floor light and the way the vacuum maneuvers.

Cons- This vacuum is heavy; have to hold the cord constantly while vacuuming, because it won't stay on the hook. Very annoying. Will try to rig something up. The lift off is great but don't know how long the hose will last, and It"s kind of awkward to use. The tightening mechanism on the extender constantly needs re-tightening (again annoying). Need to get a hose extender as it won't reach high areas. What extender would be recommended? I hope this vacuum will have a long life.

.....: Does a good job on carpets but for corners there could be room for improvement. The wand is too short. I am 5'3'' and have to bend over to simply vacuum the floor corners. The vacuum head does not get those tough to reach places like behind toilet, under the sofa, under kitchen table etc. I use the wand with the head. Cleans up nice but my previous hoover the wand was twice as long making it much easier to reach. Vacuum is quite heavy to maneuver.

Amazon Customer: Suction is great. Super easy to clean. I love the febreeze filter too. The only negative thing I will say is that the maneuverability of the hose is a bit awkward - especially if you are using the turbo head. It could be great if it tilted at the end but it doesn't so you have to bend down and be virtually horizontal with the ground if you wish to vacuum the couch or your dog's bed. Not very comfortable. However, that is a minor detail that is easily overlooked by all the other features of this vacuum. Also...don't beat yourself up if you have to read the instructions for how to put the vacuum together! It has clearly been a long time since I bought a new one and they have gotten a lot more complicated in comparison to just plugging them in straight out of the box!

IhoneybeeiIhoneybeei: What I like -
1. Good suction power - if you look At the first photo, that is the dirt I picked off my carpet I vacuumed 3 days ago. I felt terrible about my old vacuum after that I had to throw it away. Lol

2. Really good manoeuvrability- let’s you go zig zag, straight and curved lines pretty much however you want to move the machine. Really works when you have to get into the nooks and crannies.

3. Works great on and off carpet. I had some doubts about the machine on a hard wood floor but did not disappoint

4. Comes with a pretty good manual that explains where everything goes and I did not have to look up YouTube videos to set it up which is AWEsome!

5. Great cord length. I got it down the stairs all the way to the living room from the first floor without unplugging.

6. Love the led crevice tool. Nice handy feature to have a light so you can see the crevice you are trying to reach. Really handy when you are getting behind the couch and in between your kitchen counters, Inside your cabinets etc.

What I did not like-

1. The pet hair eraser tool is not worth the hype. I tried to get pet hair off my couch and I have to say it...

Consumer View Point: We needed a vacuum to retire our aging Eureka AS1104 because of discontinued replacement parts and modern technology. We could not find a Eureka model that matched or exceeded its specifications and performance, and matched or exceeded its cleaning attachments and performance. The Bissell 20874 is the right replacement for the Eureka AS1104. The Bissell 20874 does not have as much suction power as the Eureka AS1104; we have learned from experience that too much suction power is overkill.

We are more interested in edge to edge cleaning technology along with the comparable cleaning attachments with an extended hose with handle and Lift-Off technology. The On-Off button for the brush roll and the suction adjustment knob is more than a convenience, they are safety features.
Will it clean when used improperly; absolutely not. Will it get the job is done when used properly; it absolutely will. We put it to work in the whole house; it takes desire, instructions and experience to properly operate lightweight cleaning technology. The wand and attachments are to be used with finesse and not with force, and use the Lift-Off feature to safeguard the 20874 from tipping over when...

Connie T.: We like this vacuum however we gave it a 4 star because we don’t like the wand on it and it doesn’t get close enough to the baseboard or the edge of things so that bugs me. Otherwise, it’s got good suction and I love that the canister comes detached for stair cleaning. Once you get the hang of the vacuum it’s not thee beat but it does the job.

Andrea J. Houlihan: Seriously a treasure! I have two Chow Chows with long, coarse hair that was the destroyer of all previous vacuums. I reverted to using a shop vac for years until, well, I got older and didn't want to vacuum on my hands and knees anymore. Pet parents: this vacuum's roller does NOT get tangled with hair... it works, it's life changing!! No bending over every 2 minutes to cut through and peel hair from the roller, and forget those trolls who claim it's so easy to remove the roller and cut through hair... they have never been owned by a Chow Chow!! The suction is fantastic, in fact, I didn't ever realize how little I was actually picking up with my shop vac. The canister is a bit small, but I don't even care, because it's a celebration in our house each time I dump that filth into the trash. Vacuum maneuvers nicely around everything, and fits a good way under my couch. I don't have an enormous house, so it's rather nice that the cord is long enough that I can plug it into the middle room's outlet and reach every corner without moving to another outlet... it's the little things! My only "complaints" are that the vacuum is a bit top heavy, and it tips over on me when I try to use the...

William McDannell: After four months of extreme frustration with a Shark Navigator we began searching for a vacuum that would work in our household - two seniors, two Shelties and a Golden Retriever. We came across this Bissel and we believe our problem has actually been solved. The design of the vacuum makes perfect mechanical sense: if you want to vacuum up long hair, make the circumference of the roller longer than the hair you want to pick up. That way, the hair cannot wrap itself completely around the roller and will eventually be knocked off the brushes by suction and other incoming debris. And behold, it actually does work! The very first task after removing it from the box and easy assembly was to vacuum the living room rug. A few minutes later we had a clean rug, a canister full of dirt and dog hair - and not one single hair wrapped around the roller - hooray! With the Shark, I would have had to stop and literally cut the hair off the roller at least once and probably twice. The suction is great and it's nice to have lights.

I was in such a hurry to try it out that I neglected to tighten the one single screw you have to install to hold the handle in place - I had put it in by hand...
