Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 35951 CleanView Revolution Plus Upright Bagless VacuumCustomer Review: LOVE IT!! Great for hardwoods and high carpet! Summary: 4 StarsI bought this vacuum without doing any research (basically bought it because the price was right!) Little did I know that I landed on a gold mine. I bought this vacuum in May of 2006 and in March of 2008 it lost it's suction. However, this was totally MY fault.
I was getting ready to purchase a different vacuum and realized that there were 3 filters that needed to be cleaned regularly on my Bissell. Lo and behold 3 absolutely filthy filters in much need of TLC! They were all VERY easy to remove and clean. It took about 30 mins to clean and dry all of them. Replaced all the filters and crossed my fingers... my vacuum is like new again!
I have high shag carpet and hardwoods- the Bissell works great on both with the height adjuster on the roller brush. The only reason I do not give this vacuum 5 stars is because it doesn't do an AMAZING job removing my yellow lab's dog hair from my black oriental rugs. I have to run the vacuum over and over again to remove all the hairs, but it does eventually get the job done, just not as powerfully/quickly as I would like.
SUMMARY:
Pros:
1. Very easy to remove and clean filters
2. Bagless (easy to dump-may want to dump in a trash bag outside if you have dust allergies).
3. Super long cord
4. Great suction
5. Awesome pet hair attachment
6. Brush roller height adjustment perfect for all floor types
7. Wide path
8. HEPA filter
9. UNDER $100!!!
Cons:
1. Slightly heavy to lift, but not hard to push (it does however have a place to lift the vacuum in the back for ease going up and down stairs)
2. VERY Loud
3. Hose could be a little longer.
Description of Bissell 35951 CleanView Revolution Plus Upright Bagless VacuumA solid value in a bagless vacuum, the Bissell CleanView Revolution Plus offers a sturdy, easy-to-use alternative to conventional disposable-bag vacuums, all of which lose power as the bag fills. In contrast, the CleanView maintains constant, consistent suction even as it cleans the air with an HEPA media filter--a must for allergy sufferers, since it removes 99% of dust mites, pollen, and ragweed. Two rows of rotating brushes, an extra-wide 15-inch cleaning path, dual-edge cleaning, and a powerful 12-amp motor contribute to the vacuum's impressive dirt-busting performance. Add in a combination dusting brush/upholstery tool, a crevice tool for narrow spaces, an extension wand to add reach, and a handy Turbo Brush for cleaning pet hair from stairs and upholstery, and the versatile CleanView Revolution Plus is ready for just about any cleaning job you can throw at it. Also impressive at this price point are the little design tweaks that make the CleanView such a pleasure to use: the extra-long 30-foot power cord with quick-release cord wrap, a bright headlight for illuminating under couches, the easy-emptying dirt container, and the durable, generously proportioned wire-reinforced hose. There are three handle positions--upright for storage, angled for normal cleaning, and near-flat for low cleaning under furniture--and seven height adjustments to accommodate surfaces from bare floors to heavy pile. A clean-carpet sensor comes in handy when vacuuming hard-to-see dirt and dust, and the clean filter indicator monitors airflow, letting you know when it's time to wash the filters. On the down side, the CleanView Revolution Plus requires a little maintenance. Besides emptying full dirt cups, users should check the upper tank and pre-motor filter every month and clean as needed, clean or replace the post-motor filter every 3-6 months, and regularly inspect and clean the rotating floor brush and drive belt. But all of these parts are designed to be readily accessible without tools, and they rinse off easily in the sink--not much of a trade-off for maintaining the unit's sterling effectiveness. The Revolution Plus comes with an extra HEPA filter; it measures 15 inches long by 12-1/2 inches wide by 44 inches high, weighs 17 pounds, and is backed by a limited one-year warranty. --Mary Park
