Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 35766 CleanView II Plus Upright Bagless Vacuum
Customer Review: Good vacuum but clogs too easily.
Summary: 3 Stars
This was my first bagless vacuum purchase. I didn't want to spend an outrageous amount of money, so I read the reviews and decided to buy the Bissell Cleanview II. I got it home and this bad boy picked up so much stuff I was amazed. My carpets smelled fresh and the carpet fibers perked back up and everything. I just loved it. Well, now I've had it for about a year and this things clogs so much you have to pull it apart and clean it after every use. I vacuum 2x a week, imagine how time consuming it is. I still like the vacuum, but I think its time to go back to the bagged ones.Customer Review: Cleanview is a great vacuum, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had two of the cleanview models. Both worked great and had great suction. The filters (there are 3 of them) are very effective, it's easy to clean and fairly lightweight. I couldn't be happier with it. But a few things a new owner should know.
1) You can wash all of the filters except the Hepa. Just run it under warm water and keep squeezing until the water comes clear. Then set out to dry COMPLETELY.
2)The filters need cleaning at least 4 times a year.
3) The brush wheel should also be cleaned by removing the cover plate and suctioning the brushes AND the ends. Like I said, we've had two and both have had the brush start to stick after a year or two. You'll notice that the brush doesn't rotate as well when you're running the vacuum. Eventually the brush can become so stiff that it won't rotate at all and you'll start to burn the belt. You'll think the belt needs replacing, but when you buy a new one, it'll start to burn too. Here's the good news, if this happens, all you need to do is go to the Bissell site and buy a new rotating brush (for about $15). It's really, really simple to change out. Remove the belt, pull out the old brush and then snap the new one in place.
So, it's a great vacuum especially for the price. It takes a little upkeep to keep it running well and you might need to replace the brush appliance if you don't keep up with cleaning out the filters etc.
Customer Review: My first bagless...
Summary: 4 Stars
So far, I am not impressed with my new bagless. The filters are a pain and you are constantly dumping out dusty junk from the canister. However, the suction power, after you clean the filters for the 100th time, is wonderful. Also, the "spin-brush" is not as great as it appears to be. I have better luck on my stairs with the vacuum itself rather than this brush attatchment they provide. Another potential problem occured when I only let the filters dry for 24hours...apparently they need much longer to dry. There was this awful stench coming from my vacuum for weeks due to some damp filters I had replaced into the vac. It is a bit annoying to have to leave all of the filter parts out for about 2 days to dry, especially when I typically use my vac every day.
Overall, I would say that this is a great vacuum for those that don't need to do a LOT of cleaning. If you're a daily cleaner like me, stick with a bagged vacuum, they're a lot less work in the long run.
Customer Review: wothwhile for 2months
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not recommend it. The vacuum decides to retire two months after purchase even on just hardwook floors.Customer Review: It sucks!
Summary: 5 Stars
It sucks -- in a good way! Lame pun, yes, I know, but I'm not here to please you.
Pros:
- easy to move around
- lightweight
- bagless
- good power for the money
Cons:
- loud wheels
- can tip over if using the handheld tube
- height control doesn't seem to do much
I'd totally recommend this one for a small household... The rotating brush on the vacuum is great to pick up all the stuff you can't see on the carpet. When I first moved into my apartment, the place looked immaculate because of a new carpet... But not until I used this vacuum did I see all the "fuzz" that the carpet was shedding and turning into dust. Never regretted the purchase since I read that this was the best budget vacuum cleaner in some consumer report.
