Bissell Cleanview Helix Deluxe Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 21K3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After owning Eurekas for over 30 years, I decided to try this Bissell when my latest Eureka died. I did quite a bit of research and liked many of the features for this machine. I also liked the pricetag of $99.99. The main selling point for me was the "extra long power cord". I live in a medium-small apartment and the cord on my last two Eurekas was just about 3 feet too short. The cord on this Bissell is at least 5 feet SHORTER than that. The suction is fine; as you'd expect from any brand new vacuum but the dust cup is quite small and needed to be emptied several times (like, 5 or 6) while I was vacuuming my apartment. With my old Eureka, I just emptied it when I was finished with the job. We do have three cats that contribute to the problem. My favorite thing about this Bissell is the handle on the hose. It detaches very easily and the extension wand is handy and clicks in place.
I'd say, if you don't have pets and you don't mind changing outlets mid-job and dumping the dust cup at least once every room, then you might like this vacuum cleaner. I think when I buy my next vacuum cleaner, I'll go back to the Eurekas.
UPDATE: After 3 weeks of using this machine, I hate, hate, HATE it!!! I would like to change it's rating to a 1/2 star because it is a pretty color. That's the best thing about this vacuum. Pushing this thing around is like pushing a car with 4 flat tires. Dumping the filter cup multiple times each time I use it, changing outlets in the middle of the job (a small apartment)and thoroughly washing the foam filter and cylindrical filter after every single use adding another 15 minutes to a chore that I dislike. If you think you want one of these vacuums, you can have mine!!

Equipped with a 12 amp motor, this bagless upright vacuum cleaner provides maximum suction power for thoroughly cleaning the home from top to bottom. The unit effectively removes dust, dirt, and dry spills from both carpets and bare-floor surfaces, while its clear wire-reinforced stretch hose and onboard attachments make above-floor cleaning a snap. Use the TurboBrush for upholstery and stairs, the crevice tool to access narrow spaces, the 11-inch wand for extended reach, and the combination upholstery/dusting brush to clean tabletops, bookshelves, furniture, and more. Best of all, the unit's exclusive Helix dirt-separation system filters dirt and debris, protecting the motor and fan to ensure effective cleaning and long-lasting performance. The unit also offers a wide 15-inch cleaning path, five adjustable-height options, dual-edge cleaning, a "clean filter" indicator, and a HEPA media filter, which traps over 99.9 percent of dust mites, pollens, and ragweed for cleaner, more breathable indoor air. Other highlights include an easy-empty dirt container, a soft bumper to protect furniture and baseboards from marking, a wide-beam headlight, a carrying handle, a 27-foot power cord, and a quick-release cord wrap. The upright vacuum cleaner measures 12-1/2 by 15 by 44 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.
