BISSELL AeroSlim Lithium Ion Cordless Handheld Vacuum, 29869, Black

I NEVER write a review good or bad and I always research my purchase before following through with it. I felt compelled to share my experience. I read almost ever negative comment and I must say that my experience is the total opposite of what people are saying negatively about this little machine. I have a pickup truck and we live at the beach. My truck always has sand and dirt in it. I purchased the vacuum to help with getting some of the mess off of the rubber mats. The machine has worked above and beyond my expectations every time I use it. It clears the sand, picks up the dirt and dust without a problem. The battery lasts a long time for me. It’s easy to clean. It charges without a problem. I see no issue with the base and the charge going directly to the unit. It is sturdy and on top of it all, my wife likes it for the indoor stuff like picking up dirt after a dog knocks over one of her plants or vacuuming flour off of the kitchen floor. I really like this vacuum and would recommend it for what it is designed to do.

Only had this for one day but the charge is strong, picks up the random stuff that gets in the way of daily living. Lint, fuzz, crumbs, misc small messes. I don’t expect more than that. I bought two. One for my car & one for laundry room & kitchen dry messes.

The suction is extremely weak, the battery doesnt last anywhere near as long as advertised, maybe 4-5 minutes tops, and it is not convenient to use. Weve bought several BISSELL products over the years (two regular vacuums, and two carpet cleaners), which made us think to choose BISSELL again when looking for a handheld vacuum. Its very inconvenient that you cant just pick it up off a charger and use it, you have to manually unplug the little cord, and plug it back in when done, like you would an old phone. Last is you have to manually clean it out after every use. Its not like other products where you can just press a button, dump, and be done. You have to unscrew the end, then you can dump the contents, but most of what it sucks up seems to get mashed up against the mesh filter so you have to manually pick the pieces out, or separate the mesh filter and bang it on the edge of the trash can, or you wont get any suction when you try to use it next time. Very disappointed in this BISSELL product, will definitely consider other brands when our current full sized vacuum and carpet cleaner need replacing.

This little guy is exactly what I needed. Its small enough to get into small and tight spaces. I use this in my kitchen to clean out drawers and also to pick up all thr crumbs from my kids, and it works beautifully. The battery life on this thing is liget. I will be getting one for my car as well because its so handy

I dont like the process to remove the debris. I often have to pull the filter out and pick stuff off it. The most I want to have to do to clean it is to dump a cup or bang it against the inside of my can to release the debris.

I bought this primarily to clean up around the litter box. I needed something small I could tuck in a corner rather than one of the bigger hand vacuums. This of course means it’s not as powerful, simply based on size alone, but it works well for my needs. It has no problem picking up all the pine based litter and sawdust my cats kick out. It charges via mini USB. I keep it plugged in all the time so it’s always ready to go. (I only ever use it for a couple minutes at a time so I am not sure how long the battery lasts.) The base is just a holder, you still have to plug it in to charge. It comes with a small nozzle/brush attachment that also stores on the base. One complaint is that the exhaust on the back can blow around the debris you’re trying to vac. To avoid this I just place my other hand on the back in a direction that redirects the exhaust air upwards and away while vacuuming. The canister is tiny, but big enough for what I use it for. I empty it after each use. It’s easy to twist off, tip out the contents, and twist back on. I’ve tried it on the sofa and it’s only ok. Better at crumbs, not great at pet hair stuck to the couch. If you really need something for upholstery you’re probably better off with a larger, more powerful option. For me this vac works because I wanted something 1) small and sleek looking, 2) that could clean up litter without using the full size vacuum every day, 3) inexpensive. It’s pretty good at those things for the price point, it just depends what your needs are.

This thing is a crumb vacuum. No more, no less. If I were trying to use it for a heavier-duty application, or had different expectations, I might not like it as much. Heres why I gave it five stars: 1. It holds crumbs. Ive had far more expensive, name brand floor vacuums that couldnt keep their contents INSIDE the vacuum. This has a little flapper door that works very well so far. 2. It does a good job with crumbs, dust, and minor dirt. It has plenty of suction for desk and light car vacuuming, and I find it pretty handy to have around. You might pick up a few cheerios, but its not going to suck dirt out of a floor mat like a proper shop vac. Use this to maintain, not to clean up when things get bad. 3. It has a good filter. This has a modern dual layer filtration system with an outer dust screen, and an inner fine paper filter. It captures fine dust quite well. 4. Its easy to clean out. Just pop off the dust bin, pull both filters out, wash the screen, and tap off the paper filter vigorously. Ill need to replace the paper filter at some point like any vacuum, but it comes with an extra, so no big deal. The battery life is fine, but nothing to write home about. If youre using it daily, youll want to keep a micro-USB charger handy every few days. I dont use it super heavily, so Im not best positioned to talk about battery life. It could be sleeker, but this is about as good as it gets for a useful vacuum. If you need something heavy duty for big car messes or serious dirt, you should probably just get a portable shop vac, like a Milwaukee unit. If you want a crumb vacuum for small messes to keep things tidy, this is your vac.

You get what you pay for and the BISSELL AeroSlim does pretty much what you expect. It has very small dirt capacity, and not great battery life, but, its also a small and lightweight device overall. The suction is decent, but not spectacular. My quibble with the device is that the power cable plugs directly into the device instead of into the base. Most people are going to leave the device plugged in, and the device is smart enough to shut off charging when its finished so you dont have to worry about it getting hot. But this means that you have to unplug it before every use, and then plug the cable back into the device after using it. I know, I know -- it doesnt seem like much, but, seriously, it would be a lot more handy if the power cable plugged into the base, and it just automatically charged via the base.

I got this for my fiancé. We have big fluffy dogs and two small that obviously shed. I got him this for the couch and stuff. The suction is great on this and the battery lasts.

Love these little vacuums. This is the second one I purchased as a gift. Love that it comes with a storage holder. Can set it anywhere or store it easily. Really has great suction and super easy to clean. Battery life is great. Perfect for little messes or for remodel jobs like we have been using it for. Cleans up wood dust from drilling or small bits of debris. Was great for cleaning out the cabinet debris from the install!
