As many of you know I moved to a new apartment a few months ago. At that time I bought a new vacuum. The one I had before was good, but my sister who I had been living with needed one so I left it as a thank you for letting me crash at your place gift.
I spend a couple of weeks trying to figure out what vacuum cleaner to buy. I needed something that wasn’t too expensive but still worked well. I read reviews and eventually decided on the Bissell Cleanview Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner. The best part, I got it on Amazon, with my amazon move promo. You can check the price on Amazon here. I saved a ton of money when I did this and even if I hadn’t I think I made a great choice in my Vacuum purchase, here is why.
Bissel Cleanview Vacuum Review

The Bissell Cleanview is lightweight
It’s not feather light, but it’s a great lightweight vacuum. I don’t have stairs in my apartment, but I do have to move the vacuum around a bit without dragging it on the floor and I found it’s really easy to lift with just one hand.
It’s no match for cat hair
As many of you know I own two cats, Pumpkin and Dixie (follow them on Instagram!) Having two cats can cause havoc on my home. There is cat hair everywhere. At least Dixie is a short-hair, but as you can see from the picture above, Pumpkin is not.
The Bissell Cleanview is great on cat hair. I still after almost 6 months of owning it am impressed by how much cat hair this thing picks up. I only vacuum once a week or so currently and it really picks up everything the first time! I even cleaned out the vacuum and went back over my carpet the other day. I didn’t get much that second time. A very good thing when you have cats.
It has tools for everything.
One thing I learned when I was in furniture sales is that you need to take care of your sofa. I vacuum mine at least once a month as it’s only me and my cats, though I should really do it once a week with how much pet hair I have been finding behind my cushions! What I love about the Bissell Cleanview Upright is it has a great tool that picks up pet hair and other stuff from my sofa.
The vacuum includes the following tools
- Turbo Brush
- Crevice tool
- Dusting brush
- Extension wand

The cons of this vacuum
Now, I have to be honest there are a few things I wish this vacuum had, and if I had spent a bit more I could have gotten.
One is a cord rewind. This version of the Bissell Cleanview Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner has the manual cord wrap. So I can’t just push a button to make the cord wind back up. This is something my old vacuum had and I didn’t realize I would miss it so much, but my apartment is small so it’s not a huge deal.
I wish the extender was a bit longer, it’s a standard size, but I find that I need just a bit more in my extender. Part of this being my old vacuum had an extension on the extender so it really extended and I didn’t have to stretch at all.
Overall I really do recommend this vacuum to anyone who is looking for a great easy to carry and use a vacuum. Check out the price on Amazon here.
Six Month Update
I have now had the Bissel Cleanview for over six months and I am so happy to say I’m still impressed. Not only is it still cleaning up all of my cat’s hair, and my pumpkin has a lot of it. It still runs amazing and keeps my carpets really clean.
I am considering buying a new extender for this vacuum, but have not done that yet. As I stated in my review above it’s just not as long as my last one and though I only use it when I need to get dust out of corners that are hard to reach it’s still nice to have.
