Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Full-Size Vacuum Cleaner, with Quick Release Wand, & Swivel Steering, 3198A

The belt for the beater bar seems to keep getting jammed with pet hair and slips

I just received this vacuum a few hours ago, but I dove right in. Right out of the box it was super easy to assemble. The only time I looked at the instruction book was to learn what the height adjustments meant. And it’s a good thing I did because even on the middle (3) setting, it tried to eat a couple of my throw rugs it’s so powerful. So, on to the test drive. I ran my new Bissell over an area that I had just vacuumed yesterday with a “stick” type vacuum. It was easy to maneuver - not heavy and the swivel action was pretty cool (first time with a vacuum that swivels : ) and boy, did this thing suck. I was embarrassed to see how much dirt and dog hair it picked up from an area I thought was “clean”. Dumping the dirt was so easy. I’m used to getting more on me than in the trash. But not with this dirt canister. Even using the attachments was a breeze. I cannot attest to how it will work on a high pile carpet as I don’t have one. But with the demo it gave me today, my guess is that it will work great. The instructions that came with the Bissell showed me not only how to assemble and use the vacuum, it also shows how to clean and maintain it including how to change the belt when/if necessary. And the directions were so clear and easy to follow that even I could figure them out. I suspect I will have this machine for a long time. The bottom line is, if you have dirt (who doesn’t) get this vacuum but especially if you have pets that shed. It really does a great job!

We love this vacuum!!! Picks up our hard wood floors beautifully and our carpet

Needs a light like all the other vacs. Other than that its awesome! I have 2 shedding dogs and a long hair cat. U suck, but can u light up my life?

I love this vacuum it’s great for getting pet hair out of rugs. It works so much better than a pet hair vacuum I bought last year

Love it except sometimes hair gets caught in the top part of the filter and doesnt move down when emptied.

I have a lot of back issues and had difficulty pushing and pulling my old vacuum. This vacuum is lightweight and has incredible suction. Great buy!

Appears to be easy to handle, and cleans well.

I don’t know if it was from just having a cheap vacuum before, but the first pass with this one just blew my mind. Fantastic! Couldn’t believe all it got up. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a fluffy haired friend.

I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner! Thank you Bissell! I dont normally take this much time to do a review but I had to share for all the pet lovers out there! I have two dogs & I keep our daughters dog while she works so I have 3 dogs here most of the time. The picture with the nasty stuff in the cannister is from two area rugs. The moment I turned the vacuum cleaner on it sucked a bunch of dirt & dog hair that I could not even see before I even started moving it (yuck but yea!!). Another HUGE benefit for me is that this vacuum cleaner is not loud! One of my dogs gets anxiety every time I pull a vacuum cleaner out and I was hoping it was just too high pitched for his ears and WOW he walked around unsure for a few minutes then he settled down while I was running the vacuum cleaner! If you have pets & have issues with them being nervous around a vacuum cleaner then this machine is for you! I also love that you can clean the cannister and filter and its easy to reinstall!
