Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Lift-Off Vacuum, w/S

It Sucks – and That’s Fantastic! 5/5 Stars
Ever played a game of “Find the Hidden Pet Hair”? No? Well, with the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Rewind Vacuum, you won’t have to. This vacuum doesn’t just suck; it’s a veritable black hole for pet fur and dust!After a long-term relationship with my previous Bissell vacuum (5 years of ups and downs), it was time to move on. My old pal was struggling, especially with the hairball challenges posed by my Five-year-old Lab. Cue the Bissell Lift-Off Pet. It’s like the vacuum equivalent of a superhero – but for pet hair.The assembly was a breeze, everything just snapped together like Lego bricks. The first test run in the living room was a revelation. It was lighter, glided smoother, and was quieter than my old model. The swivel feature felt like switching from a flip phone to a smartphone – a bit odd at first but amazing once you get the hang of it.Halfway through the living room, I had to empty the canister – a testament to its pet hair annihilating abilities (and maybe a hint that my dog sheds like it’s her job). The canister was easier to empty than solving a 2-piece puzzle.Next up: the bedroom and hallway. The amount of hair and dust it picked up AFTER I had vacuumed with the old one was both impressive and slightly horrifying. I wondered if my old vacuum was just an elaborate floor brush.Using the Pet TurboEraser and lift-off feature on the couch was like a magic trick. Now you see the hair, now you don’t!Some might grumble about the cord length or its base placement, but honestly, it’s a small price to pay for a living room that doesn’t double as a fur coat factory.Over a few weeks, this vacuum continued to impress. The clear dust bin is like a window into a world of dust and hair you never knew existed in your home. Yes, the filters take their sweet time to dry, and finding replacements felt like a quest for the Holy Grail, but once you’re stocked, you’re golden.The vacuum swivels like it’s auditioning for Dancing with the Stars, though it does have a beefier profile than my old Hoover. Not a big deal unless you’re trying to vacuum under low furniture or around certain tricky spots. And it’s a bit top-heavy, so storing it is like playing a mild version of Jenga.But hey, no vacuum is perfect, and this one’s a gem where it counts. It’s like having a ghostbuster for pet hair – it finds and eliminates it with gusto.Overall, the BISSELL Lift-Off Pet is a game-changer for pet owners. It might not make your pet shed any less, but it’ll make you care a lot less about the shedding. A solid 5/5 stars for turning a hairy situation into a hairless solution!

Good suction but heavy vacuum
After going through a new vacuum cleaner every year because so much pet hair gets stuck in the rollers, I went with this vacuum as it is made for pet hair and claims it won’t get tangled. So far so good! I have 2 Dalmatians and on my first pass through the house I picked up ALOT of hair and dirt, see second photo. The suction seems to work great on my rugs and vinyl flooring. I have always used cordless vacuum, so I was a little upset about the cord, but it’s not the end of the world. I do like that the cord retracts automatically with the press of a button. Assembly of the vacuum was minimal and easy to do. Taking apart and cleaning the debris compartment was easy. My main complaint is that this is a big, heavy, and loud vacuum. It really takes some muscle to push this thing around town and it is not ideal for small spaces. However, for purposes of getting dirt and pet hair up, which was my goal, it gets the job done!

Out of the box it was easy to put together, the construction seems of good quality, and it’s much quieter than the vacuum its replacing.After one use:Out of the box: It did a great job in pulling tons of cat hair (I have 3) out of the carpets, and the accessory upholstery brush worked pretty well on some fabric chairs and my couch. In my small dining room alone it pulled two full tanks of dust and hair out of the carpet with none clogging the brush roller.The accessory hose is a little bit short, and kind of awkward to maneuver (with the upholstrey tool you have this 2.5 foot long solid wand on three feet of hose connected to the bottom of the vacuum) but that could also be helpful in reaching higher places and vacuuming out corners and crevices.The accessories seem pretty good. The light on the crevice tool is a little bit cheesy (single LED powered by watch batteries) but still kind of nice to have.The auto cord winder is nice, but I feel like to get the auto winder, I gave up about 10ft of cord length, which would have been nice to have too.Seems a bit mediocre on the hardwood floors, but I haven’t had a chance yet to give it a full fair test.So far I’m very happy with this vacuum, it does exactly what I bought it for (removing copious amounts of dust and cat hair from carpet) and does it well. The accessories and the cord winder seem good right now and for the price I’m happy with the purchase.As time goes on I’ll update the review, especially if anything breaks or goes wrong. The vacuum I replaced was a hoover pet pro, and it did a fantastic job for almost 10 years before getting old and tired. Lets see if this one does as well.

Unboxed and put it together. Was impressed by easy assembly and couldn’t wait to try it. The retractable cord and attachments is what drew me towards purchasing this vacuum.It did an amazing job on my carpet in the living room. Pulled stuff out of my carpet that my 15 year old Dyson just wasn’t getting anymore. I was so impressed.I then took it to my low carpet and hard floor where my excitement took a turn. Did a terrible job picking anything up on bare floors.It’s going back and I’m spending the extra again to get another Dyson….

My only complaint is the bristles on one of the attachments were squished. Otherwise so far so good. I used it once and it worked well. I bought this cuz I have long hair and it always got tangled in my last vacuum cleaner.
