What I Tested...
Bissell CleanView® Max Lift-Off® Tangle-Free Vacuum ($189.99)
Why I Tested...
How I Tested...
For four weeks, I used this vacuum every day to clean up after my cat’s litter, and every weekend for my big cleaning sessions.
Test Results...
Easy setup. Vacuums are for cleaning, not for spending half your day setting up. The instructions were very straightforward and made installation super easy. I (and my cat Luna) were very excited to put it to use and were happy to get a thorough clean the same day we received the product.
Cleaning power. One word: wow. Luna spilled her kitty snack bag all over the carpet mid-zoomies, and what would have normally taken me a few passes to clean up with my old machine was gone in one swipe. Yes, one. It also picked up lint and dirt I didn’t even realize was there. After only a few swipes, my carpet looked freshly installed. When I tried it on my hardwood floor, it easily picked up litter without blowing it everywhere (a win).
Seamless emptying. One of my favorite parts of this vacuum is how simple it is to empty after a cleaning session. You just press a button and the container opens up for easy clearing over a trash can.
Good for pets. This vacuum is great for anyone who has pets that shed or track in dirt. The Lift-Off® detachable pod makes it easy to get into those hard-to-reach spots like under the couch or behind a litterbox. It also comes with a tangle-free brush roll for longer strands of hair. I also appreciate the multi-level filtration system, which helps keep the air clear of dust and allergens.
Sidenotes...
It's important to note that the vacuum has a cord and must be plugged in to use. That said, the cord is very long, doesn't tangle, and overall I found it easy to work around.
As a lovely bonus, every purchase contributes toward the Bissell Pet Foundation, which is dedicated to ending animal homelessness.
