BissellCleanView XR 200W Lightweight Cordless Vacuum w/Removable Battery, 35-min runtime, Tangle-Free Brush Roll, LED Lights, XL Tank, Dusting & Crevice Tool, Wall Mount, 3789U

I will say out right this little Bissel Stick Vac does and excellent job in cleaning and is much more vacuuming pick up power than I had figured on. The first day I used my Bissel Stick Vac it performed very well out of the box. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, with a small living room and a kitchen with linoleum floor. It is an older-building constructed back in 1965 according property tax records. So the outside structure is failing apart. I live on the top floor of this 2 floor apartment complex with 19 units in total. The apartments are not enclosed so the upper concrete walk way has railings and covered by protective awnings but open air design still exposure to wind, rain, sunlight and other elements.Anyways the amount of dust and dirt the Bissel Vac picked up was amazing. The filter was literally caked with dust and dirty like a dirty snowball or Cotton Candy you find at a carnival vendor. Believe me I keep my apartment clean as a matter of principle, so I mop and clean on a daily basis so things do not accumulate. I could dust more but this unit I live in does NOT have central A/C or Heating. This apartment is cooled and heated by mounted wall units. The A/C unit is permanently mount half way from the inner wall to the outside ear my front door. It is an older model and NOT very energy efficient by todays standard. However it is closed end unit, meaning it only circulates air that is drawn from within the apartment itself and NOT in-taking Air directly from the outside of the apartment. The outside portion of the Wall A/C is mainly to house the compressor and cooling mechanism units where the refrigeration gases are stored. As well as provide for heat exhaust and exchange for the mechanism itself when in operation. (Sorry do not mean to get off the subject but I just wanted to give potential buyers for the Bissel Stick Vac an idea of the real world environment this product is performing in).The Bissel's motor and housing assembly also contain the detachable canister where the debris is collected, until the receptacle is cleaned out. The unit is light weight, so it is easy to maneuver in tight areas and is perfect for carpeted or hard floor steps. The Bissel also detaches and as 1 extra attachment a long straight non-flexible nozzle which is great for cleaning the edges of floorboards or hard to reach areas or tight corners that a normal vacuum may not reach. As far as cleaning under couch furniture cushions and around the bed areas where dust and dirt tends to collect around the post or caster feet of the frames or Chest of drawers it does a smash up job in quickly cleaning those hard to reach areas. However the straight non-flexible attachment is NOT very long just maybe 1 foot in length so you will not be able to reach areas that are more than an adults arm length to reach.I have lived nearly 2 years in this current apartment, and the edges of my matted carpet and floorboards have never been cleaner than after using the Bissel Stick Vac. The roommate I had before this was lazy and did not vacuum him self a all. So I inherited a rather dirty apartment by my standards , when he moved out earlier last year. I just hope I do not find any other "hidden" damage in the unit that he is responsible for before I moved in.To get to the point here my summary of the Bissel Stick Vac model 2033.PROS1. Very good value for the money2. For a small stick Vac it has incredible cleaning power, it truly picked up much of the dirt, dust that is ground into this carpet. (Obviously this carpet has not been shampooed in quite some time by the previous tenantswhich means not in the last 5-7 years give the tenant history of this unit.)3. Very Light weight unit, easy to use and get into tight or difficult areas where you may not be able to moveheavier furniture by yourself. (So it is perfect gift for perhaps older or senior or people with health issues whocan not use a heavier vacuum. As well as College Students who are always on the go or committed to theirstudies and have little time to spare. since it makes cleaning easier and will give students an incentive to NOTneglect their living areas and take 10- 15 mins just to tidy up on a daily basis.)4. This is my personal favorite feature. NO infamous rubber drive belt to worry about. Those Serpentinian drivebelts, which are on traditionally Upright vacuum rollers. Which if you have ever had to change a drive belt outit can be a messy and unpleasant chore; as well as expensive. Since many vacuum drive belts can be expensiveas well as difficult to find if the unit is older or the model has been discontinued.5. Easy storage , as the Bissel Stick Vac has a standard power cord which will roll up on the bracket handles andstore away easily in a coat closet which may many large heavy coats that make reaching into the back of thecloset difficult. It takes up very little space when you need to store it while not in use!6. Easy clean up and maintenance! The dirt container easily detaches from the mounting clips so you may access the small HEPA filter and dump all the Dirt ad Debris into the garbage. The unit is also good for picking smaller objects like paper clips or push pins or even small coins in the event you accidently knock over some from your office desk and do not want to throw the items away and they may have spilled all over the place. Since the Debris the vacuum picks up does not pass through the motor itself and NO moving parts like rollers near the vacuums nozzel so the will not jam and cause the motor to overheat or cause a short circuit because the motor has seized which is a definite fire hazard! The Dirty canister is placed in before the motor assembly and has a solid filter so no small debris like nuts, bolts, small screws or paperclips can enter into the vacuum's motor housing itself.CONS1). The dirt collection container ahs a small capacity so if you use it as the "main" vacuum cleaning tool, then you will need clean it out thoroughly depending on how dirty the floor is or what you are vacuuming up. As a general of thumb this vacuum is best suited for smaller apartments that have no more than 2-3 rooms with a matted or shallow carpet. I would NOT recommend this vacuum for high pyled, shag or very high-end expensive carpets. NOR would I recommend this vacuum as the main tool for houses with more than 3 rooms. Though it does a excellent job for small chores or detail work around difficult tight corners or heavier furniture;. You will want a more traditional vacuum with a 30 AMP motor or better if you live in a large home or have a carpet or floor that is notoriously harder to vacuum.2) The floor nozzle assembly does NOT have any special in-take or moving bristles to collect suborn dirty, dustor debris, which ironically lends itself to the light weight of the Bissel Stick Vac which allows the user tomaneuver the floor nozzle so the in-take can vacuum the dirt and debris up. You can also detach the unit fromthe handle and use it like a hand held dust buster like vacuum and use the nozzle attachment to get to thefloorboard edges and tight corners So if you are vacuuming in a flat straight line you will need to on an opencarpet or floor you will need to use a technique that will cover the smaller width of the active cleaning area ofthe floor nozzle when you do use the unit as it will NOT vacuum wide swaths of carpet or floor when thevacuum is in use. Which makes it a bit safer to use around plugged in power cords ad power strip-surgeprotectors in a home or small office settings. The power cords will not be entangled in power rollers whichcould cause severe damage to the vacuum the office equipment and a strong possibility of electrocution to theoperator.+++++++++++++++++++++ Summary of the Bissel Stick Vac Model 2033 ******************************I would recommend buying this product for small chores or if you live in building with a simple floor plan with no more than 3 bedrooms or does NOT have a plush, or expensive carpets like a real Perishing rug! That would be insane! That would be like using an SOS steel wool pad on a Rembrandt or Vincent Van Gogh painting! Which would be INSANE! It is a great cleaning tool for the money and an excellent value for the price I paid!

Great little vacuum. I’ve had this for about eight months now and I initially bought it to be the vacuum solely for my newborn‘s bedroom, but now it has replaced the household broom. Why waste time sweeping into a broom tray and repositioning it 14 times to get a little bit of dust or hair when you can just vacuum it up? It easily grabs my dog’s tiny hairs and any mess they make with ease and it weighs less than my broom.I also like that you can use it as a little hand vacuum or leave the long handle part on and I can reach cobwebs without touching and leaving marks on the walls and ceiling.I bought a few different brands that were similar to see which one I liked, and this was the winner.Worked ok on the carpet but latched onto the rug and lifted it; the suction was so strong.

I have had my Bissell Cordless Clean View XR300 now for almost 2 months. It does everything it says. I really like it. I use mine 3 to 4 times a week. It is easy, unlike my large plug in vacuum. Someone wrote on here that they still have to use their heavy plug in vacuum once a week, because cordless doesn't clean as well. I have a husky who sheds a lot every day. I decided after a week of using my cordless vac, to take out my big 10 amp vac and follow behind. I learned that moment, that the cordless vacuum was sufficient for the job, and I did not need to follow with my heavy vacuum. And yes I have hard wood floors, tile and carpet. It works well on all surfaces. If there were any improvements to make, I'd suggest a larger dirt cup, maybe, if you could lighten the weight by a pound or two would be wonderful, and I don't care for how it hangs on the wall. It's an eye sore. Could you find a way to make it less bulky?

I needed a vacuum for my apartment to use for a few months before moving. It’s replacing a more sophisticated cordless vacuum that broke. At first I was underwhelmed because this one does not have rotating brushes on the bottom. However, this machine did such a great job compared to the old one, so I went over my carpets again and again. I would need to empty the canister several times after doing each section because it was picking up so much dust and pet hair that it started to clog. My takeaway is that the wheels on my old unit pulled the vacuum too quickly over areas. I also like that this vacuum’s dust canister is at the bottom near floor level. It’s much less likely to clog this way, which is what I believe wore out the motor of my old vacuum. What I don’t like, is that the latches that hold it together including the dust canister are very cheap plastic. It’s only a matter of time before they break. So for that reason I recommend investing in a more sturdy vacuum if you’re looking to use it a lot. The cord is also rather short, so if you have a large area might want to keep that in mind.

I used to own a tiny shark vacuum that I used on my kitchen and bathroom floors. I missed that vacuum (they don't make it anymore) so, I started looking for a replacement. I came across this one and reluctantly decided to give it a try. I got up this morning and began my routine. I unbound this little gem and put it together. It was extremely easy to do. I plugged it in and was pleasantly surprised! This vacuum has a section power I did not expect! It is extremely lightweight. It's made of plastic and what feels like an aluminum handle. Taking it out of the box I was not having high hopes. I'm so happy I purchased this...it's PERFECT!!
