It eliminated the hair from all of Big Red’s favorite hangout spots—the couch, my faux suede bar stools and the velvet chair in my office. I also tested it on the carpet near my bedroom window, where Red suns himself every day, and it dislodged all the hair stuck in the fibers there. It even pulled out the pesky feathers that were half-sticking out of my down pillows.
Brand owner satisfaction is based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their upright vacuum to their friends and family. “I have gone through three different similar priced brands only to be disappointed,” says one reviewer, who goes on to rave about the suction power. As with the Oreck Touch Bagless, you recline the top portion by stepping lightly on the base and then leaning the handle backward. The vacuum I grew up with required you to pull a side lever to recline it, and on the other end of the spectrum, the new Dysons require a rocking movement that is hard to get used to.
To tackle above-floor messes, it comes with several attachments that you can add onto the hose. That includes a Pet TurboEraser Tool and a Pet Brush that both help remove pet hair from pet beds and upholstery, as well as a Crevice Tool with LED lights to clean tight hard-to-reach areas. The cord wraps around two hooks on the side of the vacuum body, and keeps the cord sufficiently out of the way, which helps make it easy to remove the canister.
There weren’t any hotspots to speak of beyond the motor and belt, which are the areas we expected the heat to concentrate. One of the biggest positives for the CleanView Swivel Pet upright is its price; it is really inexpensive. Compared with the Shark Stratos upright we recently reviewed, this Bissell upright is far less than half its price.
It’s a bagless vacuum with a larger dust bin that can hold up to 1.5 liters of debris which is especially nice since pet hair takes up lots of space. The tangle guard prevents hair up to 16 inches long from getting caught, a claim that held up during our testing. “It did a great job picking up the long hair and threads we put down without getting them tangled in the brush roll,” said one expert tester. We first tested a similar Pet Eraser model from Bissell several years ago and were impressed with its performance in cleaning dirt from bare floors.
I’m definitely going to be using this tool on our furniture all the time. The 2 in 1 Pet Dusting Brush tackles pet hair with special rubber nubs and fine bissell crosswave cordless dust with soft bristles for safe, gentle cleaning. The Pet TurboEraser® Tool allows pet parents to power through pet hair across a variety of surfaces.
