Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Full-Size Vacuum Cleaner, with Quick Release Wand, & Swivel Steering, 3198A

I have multiple pets and figure that if I get a few years out of a vacuum cleaner and it starts getting inefficient Ill just junk it and buy a new one. This one was replacing another very similar Bissell model that served its time and went into retirement. This one is easy to handle, love the swivel feature and cleans very well. Easy to empty and clean out the chamber and filters. I would love to love it but there seems to be a flaw in the design. After several uses the brush stopped spinning and I could smell rubber burning. I assumed that something had jammed the brush and the drive belt was slipping and that was creating the burning smell. Upon opening the bottom to see what was stopping the brush from spinning I found that the entire channel that housed the rubber belt was solid packed with pet hair. Pulled it all out and freed everything up and the vacuum was operational again but I anticipate having to constantly check that housing to see if its clogged up with pet hair. My previous Bissell, which is designed almost exactly the same as this current on never had this problem. It would seem to me that, since this is being sold as a pet vacuum, it getting clogged up with pet hair to this extreme extent would be kind of impossible. Will contact the manufacturer with the problem to see what they have to say. Disappointed to say the least.

This vacuum is the best one I have ever found! I have purchased probably five or six different vacuums, trying to find one that is strong enough for a lot of pet hair and rugs, because I have a husky and another dog. This vacuum is everything I’ve ever been looking for. Hard-core section definitely deep, cleans a rug like you would not believe!!! I have a shag rug and a normal rug and I had to empty it after I did the shag rug twice that’s how good and powerful it is! It doesn’t leave any weird smells it’s absolutely perfect 10 out of 10 highly recommend

The Bissell CleanView Swivel Pet Reach Full-Size Vacuum Cleaner is a great option if youre looking for a relatively quiet vacuum that offers great suction. The vacuum glides over carpets easily, sucks up dirt, debris, and pet hair easily, and is easy to empty in the trash so you can vacuum more up as needed. I found this vacuum was a great upgrade from my older Bissell that had finally broken down after many years of use. The ClearView Swivel Pet Vac has a lot of things I found to be a great improvement in comparison to my old Bissell, namely the foot pedal on/off switch, the easier-to-empty and clean vacuum canister, the lighter weight of the overall system, the better manueverability, and the quieter operation. There were a few things I didnt like as much about this vacuum, such as the smaller number of tools that attached to the vacuum, the not quite as intuitive to use hose system, and the shorter power cable, but the pros greatly outweighed the cons of this unit. At the sub $100 price point, this vacuum is an absolute deal - it obviously doesnt work as well as something like a Dyson, but I found it worked way better than other more expensive brands at a fraction of the cost. For a vacuum thats less than $100. this is definitely worth considering, and if it works as long as my old Bissell did, its definitely something I would buy again.

Love this vacume! Great function power, better than my Dyson. Only rated 4 stars though because it does not have a light on it, which isnt necessary but nice to have, and the roller continues to run when using the wand so you need to make sure its set at the highest level when using the wand.

Bought for my daughter and she loves it

I don’t know if it was from just having a cheap vacuum before, but the first pass with this one just blew my mind. Fantastic! Couldn’t believe all it got up. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a fluffy haired friend.

Its the best vacuum I have ever had. Its light, deep cleans the carpet and is very maneuverabale. It should be in every pet owners home.

I like the fact that it does what its supposed to do, its quick to use, easy to clean and doesnt look too bad sitting against the wall until i need it.

I am so happy with this vacuum. It does everything in a convenient way and its not near as heavy as a standard vacuum.

I just received this vacuum a few hours ago, but I dove right in. Right out of the box it was super easy to assemble. The only time I looked at the instruction book was to learn what the height adjustments meant. And it’s a good thing I did because even on the middle (3) setting, it tried to eat a couple of my throw rugs it’s so powerful. So, on to the test drive. I ran my new Bissell over an area that I had just vacuumed yesterday with a “stick” type vacuum. It was easy to maneuver - not heavy and the swivel action was pretty cool (first time with a vacuum that swivels : ) and boy, did this thing suck. I was embarrassed to see how much dirt and dog hair it picked up from an area I thought was “clean”. Dumping the dirt was so easy. I’m used to getting more on me than in the trash. But not with this dirt canister. Even using the attachments was a breeze. I cannot attest to how it will work on a high pile carpet as I don’t have one. But with the demo it gave me today, my guess is that it will work great. The instructions that came with the Bissell showed me not only how to assemble and use the vacuum, it also shows how to clean and maintain it including how to change the belt when/if necessary. And the directions were so clear and easy to follow that even I could figure them out. I suspect I will have this machine for a long time. The bottom line is, if you have dirt (who doesn’t) get this vacuum but especially if you have pets that shed. It really does a great job!
