SurfaceSense Lift-Off Pet

I really like this vacuum. It picks up and holds a lot. It is light weight and easy to use. Easy to empty the canister. It also does get most of the fur off the furniture. Good suction, keeps picking up even after using for over 10 minutes. Worth the price, but I did wait for it to be on sale, lol. The retractable cord is the best too! That was a deciding factor when I bought it. I very much dislike having to wind a long cord after vacuuming, and with this vacuum I just hold the button and the cord is tucked in. Strong suction, it catches all the dust bunnies. With an easy release handle/wand to get any dust or spider webs up high. I'm happy with this purchase!

I currently have a dyson v10 animal that I got for my grandma and myself with our 2 cats. During long cleaning sessions the vaccume would run out of battery and my grandma's dyson DC 14 is too old in age. I went with a shark Navigator didnt work with the cat hair. Went with another shark the shark lift away with power fins I liked the construction but didnt agitate our large area rug enough to dig into the pet hair. Then got a dyson animal ball 3 too heavy and too much suction for my grandma to push when she needed to vaccume. Ultimately set on this the bissell I love the stronger motor but what I love is the solid construction for the price ease of use and pet tools. I love the ability for me to provide maintenance on it without having to take it to a dedicated shop. Carpet agitation and ability to pick up cat hair is amazing. The suction on our hardwood floors could be better but this vacuum on rugs is absolutely amazing. The power in my opinion is kore then enough. I would recommend this product howver evyone has there personal preference.

This definitely picks up pet hair and does a fantastic job. I love it but... You need to clean it often. Not just the filter parts. The brush stopped today because there was a clump of hair and dust clogging it. Kudos for stopping and not catching fire or burning out. I have Great Danes so not a ton of hair that's long and difficult for a vacuum. I've washed the canister parts and filters every other full vacuum. Say 3-4 times emptying a session, it's a big place. (The canister is small so needs to be emptied often.) So if you're aware it needs cleaning and care, making sure everything is clear, it's fantastic at vacuuming. Great suction and really pulls the debris out of the carpet. Probably suitable for a smaller bit of carpet instead of the 900 sq ft and two huge dogs that I'm dealing with. I'd love one with a bigger canister and tolerance. I've had it for 8 months.

I have owned a Dyson for more than 15 years. So after my Dyson stopped, picking up the smallest of things, I knew it was time for a new vacuum. I was never really satisfied with my Dyson so I went to my friends to find what they had, they all had a Bissell vacuum. so I went to Amazon found a Bissell that I absolutely love when it arrived. I ran my Dyson over my carpet then I ran my Bissell. I was shocked at how much more the Bissell picked up. I wish I had known about this vacuum years ago the LED lighting is fantastic it shows everything on my floor so I know that the vacuum has picked it up also on the wand that goes down deep into your cushions, also has an LED lighting wow this was just amazing to me. The suction is very good. It’s easy to assemble and so very easy to empty the band. I recommend this Bisso to everyone and anyone who’s thinking of buying a vacuum. I’m in my 70s and I can tell you this is the vacuum I’ve ever owned. Also I have a long hair cat and it does a wonderful job picking up her hair.

Shortcomings/complaints: The hose is waaay too short/taught, and the center of balance seems off- like it's top heavy somehow. Almost every time I try to use the hose, even for stuff within arm's reach of the vacuum, the slightest tension on the hose pulls the whole machine over. The vacuum being detachable from the head is advertised as a feature when in reality it's pretty much a requirement any time you want to use the hose. I find this awful on my back, and it could have been much better had they given the hose a just a little more length. Maintenance is alright, except for the brush rollers- Any time something gets caught in the rollers you have to take the vacuum head apart with a screw driver and remove something like 5 or 6 small screws- having to do this multiple times in the same cleaning session is a huge time sink. Small random stuff (like tiny candy wrappers) that shouldn't be an issue to vacuum end up jamming the roller, adding to the frustration. I sucked up a bobby pin on accident and it ended up cracking the plastic housing that a screw on the head mounts into, and now it makes a horrible grinding and rattling sound any time the brush is turned on. I've sucked up hundreds of bobby pins with a dozen different vacuums, and all those survived just fine, but the first one this one tasted took it out. Good stuff: The tank is easy to empty, and the filters are easy to clean and replace, which is a plus. The lights on the vacuum head help you see all the little bits that you might not see otherwise, which is a feature I greatly appreciate. Conclusion: It's an okay vacuum, but has some glaring issues that will have me looking elsewhere when the time comes to replace it- which I feel is going to be much sooner than I would have hoped for how much this machine costs (not satisfied with the value for money). EDIT Hose randomly tore open at the base, making the whole unit completely useless after less than one year. Worst investment in a vacuum I've ever made.

Great vacuum cleaner! Cleans up our pet hair (we have two cats and a litterbox) really well. Would definitely recommend this vacuum.

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.

This vacuum is AMAZING! We had a Hoover pet hair vacuum before and the handle ended up breaking straight through the pipe because the vacuum was to heavy for the material used and the pressure/wear on it from the back and forth movement. This vacuum is holding up like a champ after many uses! The first time I used it I was gobsmacked at how hairless our plush carpets were having two dogs. The next time I vacuumed I scraped my fingers along the carpet to show my husband how hairless they were. I was able to put our new baby right onto the carpet without having to worry about hair getting in their mouth. I like that you can detach and use the wand easily too. One thing that does throw me off is the cord wind button being on the other side, it makes total sense to have your hands away from the cord shooting in! I'm just not used to the placement. That's another thing the cord retract works amazing. Let's also talked about how my long hair doesn't get wrapped up in the brushes!!! That alone is a good reason to purchase this vacuum if you have someone with long hair in your home.

This vacuum cleaner deserves more than 5 stars! I have a border collie who sheds enough fur to cover a whole extra dog every week, and this vacuum gets ALL of it!! I’m blown away at how much this vacuum picks up compared to all other vacuums I’ve tried over the years. I thought my previous vacuums were great until I realized how amazing this one is. I can’t believe how much this one collects compared to my old one. I cannot recommend this vacuum enough. It’s absolutely amazing!! Seriously…. If you’re thinking about it, get it! You will not regret it.

Received on time. Excited to use... over several uses noticed. It's a short cord.. so constantly unplugging and plugging back in. No long solid wand, just the flex hose that you can put different ends on. Doesn't help much when reaching to clean up something as flexible hose isn't that cooperative. Finally front on beater bar is high. Fits under standard kitchen cabinets but if decorative trim, no, have to manipulate the flexible hose. It does pick up well on carpet and hard floors. Finally low cord pullout so if not holding the cord up out of way, it continually gets in way. My findings after several uses. Purchased to replace my aging Dyson, only improvement from it is how well picks up. My Dyson has to be at least 12 or more yrs old now, losing power and hose is falling apart, so why replaced, and didn't want to to pay what asking for Dyson.

This vacuum sucks great, but it’s heavy and bulky and terrible for stairs.. it’s also hard to get close to the wall etc, so you can never get everything along the edges. The hose isn’t long enough either for when you detach the handle, so the canister always falls over when trying to vacuum the couch etc.. not super satisfied.
