BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum user reviews (vacuum cleaner - upright)

Pros Their ad campaign.

Cons The vacuum.

Summary It is better to vacuum your carpet floor with a broom.

Pros Awesome suction - removed hair and dirt that I couldn't see
Easy to push and pull
Easy to empty - no filter to accidentally toss from the container
Easy to use hand tools - and they store handily by clipping to the vacuum

Cons Small amount of debris on top of vacuum when removing container to empty

Summary After purchasing this vacuum, I read reviews and noted a mix of positive and negative ones, so I wanted to express my opinion. We have 3 inside dogs, 2 more that go in and out, and a cat. I have gone through approximately one vacuum per year for the past 10 years, but never thought any of them picked up all of the hair. The first time I used the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum, I had to empty the hair 4 times while vacuuming the den. I have continued to be impressed with the suction power of this machine, and with the pet hair bar on the front. I have had none of the problems mentioned in some of the negative reviews. When using the accessories, the roller bar on the front does not touch my carpet and is not a problem. I have not had trouble removing the tools from their clips, or with the hose coming loose while using the tools. I think this vacuum is definitely worth the $138 I paid, and deserves 5 stars!!

Pros None whatsoever

Cons Where do I begin? I bought this because I read many excellent reviews, and desperately needed something that could pick up the hair from my two long-haired dogs. It worked well exactly once - the first time. After that, I spent more time trying to get all

I bought this because I read many excellent reviews, and desperately needed something that could pick up the hair from my two long-haired dogs. It worked well exactly once - the first time. After that, I spent more time trying to get all the hair and dirt out of the constantly clogged filter, in the process scraping my hands to pieces. There was constantly dirt everywhere, and the vacuum was covered in it. I've had it six months, and last weekend it stopped sucking completely. I have to say, I'm actually happy about that, because I can't wait to go buy a vacuum (with a bag), that actually works!

Pros There are none

Cons There are so many!

Summary We bought this since it was geared towards pet owners. What a crock! It doesn't pick up hair like it should. I can see the hair on the floor after vacuuming. So I'm afraid to think about all of the dirt it's leaving behind. I have to tear it apart to clean it out and put the belt back on every week. And most recently the motor burned out and started smoking.

The stair attachment is a joke. I can't get any further than 2 stairs before having to take that apart to clean it out just in order to keep going!

DON'T BUY!!!
