Bissell MultiClean Allergen Lift-Off Pet Vacuum, HEPA, Tangle-Free, 2998

I bought this to replace my old Windtunnel Pet vacuum and I am very pleased with it. I looked at several Bissell models and finally decided on this one. Other reviews say it's loud and heavy, it is actually much quieter than my old vacuum and much easier to push around. I don't know if it is lighter or just less suction than the old one, but it is much easier to push and I really like that. I wasn't sure about the swivel, but now that I've tried it, I think I like it. I like the wand and the on-board accessories (one reason I chose this model over a different one). The pet brush actually works like it is supposed to, unlike my old vacuum pet brush. The crevasse tool is kind of neat because it is two tools in one. The brush slides up and down on the tool so you don't have to switch from brush to crevasse. It was easy to assemble. Bissell is very good at labeling all parts (hose, dust bin, etc.) and how to remove and put them back together. I love that the dust bin comes apart so easily so you can clean the parts and filters. My old vacuum had more parts and was harder to assemble when I wanted to do a deep clean of the dust bin. I like the lift-off option because I have carpeted stairs (which I hate because it is impossible to vacuum them thoroughly ). The tools make cleaning the hard-to-get-to parts between the spindles much easier and being able to separate the bin from the foot to go up and down is very nice. The lift-off option is also good for reaching into tight spots where the whole vacuum won't go. I have 2 Shelties, so my house is full of dog hair. This vacuum seems to do a great job at getting the hair off of my carpet and my furniture. It works really well on my oriental area rugs in my hallway. It sucks up all the dog hair without sucking up the carpet (a problem I had with my old vacuum). I also like the compact and slim size of the vacuum. I was able to get it on sale, so I got a good deal for the price I paid. I would recommend it to pet people and people with allergies like me.

Important notes: I have not had this vacuum for long at all and have only used it a handful of times, so I cannot speak to its lasting power or it’s quality over time. I do not have any stairs, so I cannot attest to its stair cleaning ability. I am also a vacuum newbie, and don’t have a ton of vacuum experience to compare this to. However, I do have a deep love for vacuuming and will try as be as unbiased and honest as possible My review is five stars, when taking into account the price and promises of this vacuum. I’m sure there are vacuums that work a thousand times better than this, but for the price you are getting a quality vacuum. I wouldn’t say this vacuum is worth $500, but it is worth the <$200 I payed for it. Pros: - vacuum is easy to assemble and easy to take apart, with clearly labeled latches for all the features that can be detached and turned on/off - i find the whole thing very customizable and modular, but still easy to understand - the attachments are well designed, with the brush attaching to the tube attachment, and they store nicely on the main body - i wasn’t totally sold on the lift off feature, but i think it’s totally awesome after using it. i can get all sorts of new places - the lights on the front are incredibly bright and more useful than i thought they would be - the cleaning is super easy, and i appreciate that the filters can be reused and don’t create unnecessary waste/have to be ordered - it totally gets pet hair out of the carpet as promised - the tube is super flexible, and i love that you can use both the handle/wand as well as the tube on its own Things that are not pros or cons: - the vacuum steers pretty well, but can be a little unpredictable to control. there is definitely a learning curve - you have to reach inside the dirt chamber to clean part of the dirt chamber setup, which is probably standard, but is a little gross - vacuum is not super loud, but definitely noisy. pretty standard - attaching the lift off feature back to the base has a bit of a learning curve, more so than the other attachments - there is no lever to take the vacuum out of the upright position. i find this a bit stressful, as i feel like i’m going to break something. - I wouldn’t say the vacuum itself is absurdly heavy or unwieldy when used as a standard vacuum. it’s not as light as a stick vacuum, but i’ve certainly used heavier Cons: - the lift off feature is quite heavy. not great for people who are older or have mobility issues. i cannot imagine holding it while vacuuming blinds as is shown in the ads, and find myself usually setting it on a table/the ground - the reach of the lift off tube could definitely be longer - unlike other bissel vacuums, the cord does not wind back into the main body of the vacuum. i find it to be quite unwieldy, as it is very long. the extra reach is nice, but the cord is constantly in the way - i also find that the cord is hard to wrap, as it’s very thick and heavy - while the tank appears large, i find that it fills up quite quickly to the “full” line and needs to be emptied pretty often - the vacuum struggles to remove human hair from the carpet, and you will have to “scrub” the carpet with the brush attachment to get it out - the little brush attachment gets dirty really quickly, and you have to pull hair and lint off of it. also probably pretty standard, but it’s pretty icky. - the pet hair attachment can be a little difficult to use, especially when attached to the wand. and i don’t find myself using it over the normal brush attachment So that’s my review! Would I recommend this product? Absolutely, if you’re looking at mid range vacuums. It does what is promised, and as long as the cons don’t outweigh the pros, I would say go for it! I had a blast using this vacuum and will continue to have a blast using it until I can justify spending $500+ on a vacuum.

The pros first - this vacuum is strong, and the HEPA filter has been amazing in reducing the amount of times I need to vacuum each week. We have a dog who sheds A LOT so it's inevitable, but I feel like the amount it picks up is amazing. The cons - this vacuum is HEAVY. I'm relatively strong but it is very bulky. Also - if you're looking for something that is going to maneuver well and get under beds and chairs, this is NOT it. It is terrible at being nimble and has almost no swivel ability. When I'm already tired from cleaning the house this vacuum only adds to my frustration. It's not a bad vacuum but it's also not the best. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

I cannot believe I never left a review for this. This vacuum is easily one of the top 5, maybe top 3 purchases of my entire adult life. I don't think I could adequately express how much I love this vacuum in words. I have had the absolute PLEASURE of using this vacuum for about 3 months now, and I have not one singular complaint. I keep a very clean house and vacuum once a week at minimum and when I say I can run this over my carpet 3x over and pull up dust and pet hair not visible to the naked eye, I mean it. I have 4 cats. This vacuum does a phenomenal job of getting up pet hair and any litter they track around the house. The canister is so easy to clean, it usually does not require sticking my hand up there to pull anything out. Hair does not wrap around the spin brush and that has been nice compared to other vacuums I've used in the past. The swivel head is SO GOOD for getting into tougher spots. If you think your vacuum doesn't need headlights, you're wrong. I can see SO much better. Another feature I noticed by happenstance was how great the suction really is. I had spot cleaned a stain on my carpet with some water and carpet cleaner, and even after dabbing up the excess liquid, I could visibly see the vacuum sucking up even MORE water from the carpet that wasn't able to be seen or felt. The attachments are fantastic, particularly the one for vacuuming furniture. It sucked up every bit of pet hair with ease. Fully assembled, it's fairly lightweight and easy to maneuver around the house. The enclosed HEPA filter is something that really sold me on this vacuum as an allergy sufferer. It doesn't kick back any debris when using, and no stinky smell escapes like some older vacuums. I also like the option to change the mode for either carpet or hardwood. It works perfectly on every surface I've used it on. The only ONLY thing I would change about this vacuum is I wish it had a retractable cord that sucked itself up, but it would still get 100 stars from me. They could charge even more for this vacuum. This vacuum was not even within my means. I financed it, and I have no regrets. Pry this vacuum from my cold, dead hands. Cremate me with this vacuum. Buy this vacuum.

I had my "cheapest we could find" vacuum which still works after 7 years but it's time to upgrade as I noticed it doesn't clean the carpet so good. For comparison, I vacuumed a little bit with both vacuums and there's an obvious difference in how much it pickes up. So what I LOVED MOST about this vacuum is that the suction power is great, cleaning path is 13 inches, which is wide. I love that it's swivel,let's you manuver so comfortable around things. Cord length is longer than I had so for me it's an improvement,I no longer have to switch the outlets. Noise level is about the same for my both vacuums so I didn't notice big difference, but it's a vacuum, I don't expect silent mode)) You can turn the brush off so it doesn't rotate on the floor,which is cool. You can adjust suction for "plush carpet " or "low carpet". Also, Tangle free brush...well, let's be honest it's not completely free of hair but hell yes,there's tremendous difference how it was on my old vacuum...sometimes I had to clean the hair 2-3 times just to clean one room cuz there's 3 girls with long hair in the house. So don't expect it totally free of hair but it's pretty close to it and it's easy to clean. I love the lights...very helpful when small particles jumping around the brush so I know I need to give ot another pass. Normally, I wouldn't see it cuz I have bad eyes plus astigmatism so in bad lighting conditions I don't see good. Anti allergen filtration system is also important to my family as we are all allergic to dust. My air purifier usually indicates raise in air contamination when I vacuum...this time NOTHING, so I feel like the system does the job well. What I didn't like that it's pretty heavy...it's subjective but I checked the competitors, they all about the same weight. But it's not really complicating things for my back, even though my lover back is getting hurt often, the wheels move very smooth so the vaccum moves easy. I think it's my main complaint, I wish it was lighter. It has a very cool feature, the cord clip. But while it's super helpful you can see on my photo, just one day of use and it has a lot of marks,which over time will damage the cord...(smth to improve definitely). But overall it's an amazing vacuum, made my carpets clean and fluffy again.

I'll start by saying that I did alot of research, read a ton of reviews and watched countless video reviews before buying this vacuum. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I went ahead and purchased it!!!! This vacuum was replacing a very expensive Dyson; which I HATE with all that I am!! It is the worst vacuum I have ever owned, and I was mortified at how poor of a job I discovered it was doing when I bought this vacuum. Now, I have a very tidy place, and I do not like clutter. I have two cats but I vacuum at least every other day. Maybe obsessive, but I like things clean. The pictures attached are from day one of vacuuming my 1,000sqft apartment. The canister was filled TWICE!!!! Despite the fact that I had vacuumed the day before with the Dyson!!! The suction is fantastic and will pick up a quarter. It's light and the high pile option glides nicely let my high pile rug. My only disappointment with this vacuum is that it does not seem to do that great of a job on the hardwood floors at my entry and kitchen. However, I have never had a vacuum that I found did hard wood floors well, so it's not a deal breaker for me. I have had no hair tangles in the machine ever after 2 months of use. It socks up the cat hair of the cat tree like a charm leaving it looking brand new! You do need to make sure when you use the spinning attachment to the hand suction that the vacuum is set to low pile. If it's on high pile it will not suck as well, and stops the blades when you push down. I feel it is not any louder than any other vacuum I have owned, and perhaps quieter than most. Definitely quieter than the Dyson! Maneuverability is fantastic and it glides and turns well. Overall I'm thoroughly satisfied with this vacuum and would highly recommend it!

If you don't have dogs or concerns about pet hair this vacuum might be alright for you. However, if you do have pets that shed (I have two golden retrievers) then I hope this review will help you. I have had this vacuum for about three months and use it once or twice weekly on the tile and carpet floors in my roughly 2200 square foot ranch house. Every time I use it, the brush has to be cleaned to remove dog hair. In order to completely clean the brush you have to remove 6 screws so you can take off the brush cover and then pull the brush out. When you take it out you have to disconnect it from the belt drive. Also, the way they designed this vacuum, the hair wraps around the end of the brush (opposite end from the belt drive) and eventually starts to infiltrate the interior of the brush. When this happens the plastic at the end of the brush will start to melt and break down. The only way to continue to use the sweeper is to replace the brush. So far, I have replaced the brush three times, and like I said I always clean the brush of hair whenever I use it. The most frustrating thing is the response I got from Bissell when I called them to try to get help with their product. This vacuum has "TANGLE-FREE" in big letters right on the front top of the cleaning head. When customer service answered and I explained my concerns with the vacuum, they said it needs to be cleaned "constantly" or it will get tangles and not work. I told them have been cleaning it constantly and still have problems with the brush design and have had to replace the brush three times. They were not helpful and just kept repeating that is needs to be cleaned constantly. I ask to speak with a supervisor. This seemed to irritate the customer service rep and she told me she would get one when she could find one. After holding for 45 minutes, I gave up on getting any satisfactory response from Bissell. The initial cost of this machine combined with the aggravation and cost of buying and installing replacement brushes make it a terrible value for anyone with pet hair concerns. The weight and size of the machine is comparable with most other vacuums in this price range. The cord is not as long as I could be and that also makes using it more time consuming with compared to vacuum's with longer cords. Overall, I would never recommend this vacuum to anyone that has pets or concerns with pet hair pick up. The "tangle-free" claim is very far from the truth.

I purchased this on April '25. PROS: I found that it worked really well on rugs and pet hair. Worked decently on hard floors. Had good settings. The pet hair attachment worked really well. Overall great suction. The bristles hardly got caught in anything. Long enough cable for a full tour in a studio apartment. Great for vacuuming the car too. Great filters and generally easy to clean. CONS: It's entirely too heavy for what it is. It doesn't weigh a ton but for a vacuum it shouldn't be so uncomfortable to transport. Unfortunately, in this day and age a cable is a con because in a large enough house you'll need to keep unplugging and plugging it back in. The cable CONSTANTLY got caught under the vacuum despite my best efforts, to the point that the cables rubber cover was completely exposed after just a few seconds under the suction. The narrow bristle is absolutely useless. Just a cheap piece of plastic and cheap bristles that doesn't work well when attempting to reach for tight spaces. Then the difficulty of even attempting to clean the roller is entirely unnecessary. I had to undo 6 screws just to check for a clog. I am no longer with this vacuum since the belt responsible for the rollers movement became damaged. This is on June 2026. So I had it for a total of 1 year and 2 months. So not really worth it in the long run. I'd only recommend this to somebody with a lot more understanding of this brands machinery. Because the moment it doesn't work it's done for. It's too expensive for the time I had it.

Quite impressive. I have 3 different vacuums ( one for each floor) which were quite expensive. This is my preference and works the best. I didn’t think the light would matter and by golly. It hits the places I missed by my previous vacuum and I thought I was being thorough.

Gros problème en Belgique. C'est pas des prises pour la Belgique. J'ai dû le renvoyer malheureusement, pourtant je le veux vraiment.

Shipping a high voltage product in the UK with an American plug makes the product useless and poses an electrical risk.

Il est super efficace pour les poils d'animaux ! 😍

This is a great machine, but what Amazon does not tell you is that this is an American model and it comes with an American plug. It is not meant to work in Germany.
