Bissell CleanView Swivel Rewind Pet Reach Vacuum, 3197A | Automatic cord rewind for easy storage; swivel steering; quick release wand for above-floor cleaning
Best for
Best for pet-heavy homes with mostly carpet where deep cleaning is essential and cord convenience is a bonus; skip it if you need to clean under low furniture often or want a fully sealed allergen system (no HEPA filter).
What buyers say
Strong suction and effective pet hair pickup make this a favorite, and the auto-rewind cord is a joy to use. The trade-off: expect to occasionally deep-clean the brush roll to stop hair from wrapping around the belt, which can lead to a burning smell.
Loved by buyers
- •Strong suction pulls up deep-down pet hair that other vacuums leave behind.
- •Automatic cord rewind with a push button saves time and eliminates tangled cords.
- •Swivel steering and a manageable weight help the vacuum glide around furniture without a wrestling match.
Buyer concerns
- •Pet hair can accumulate on the brush roll belt, causing a burning smell and requiring disassembly with a screwdriver to clean.
- •The brush roll keeps spinning when using the hose, which can damage floors if you set the vacuum down mid-clean.
- •The upright design can't reach deep under low furniture like beds or sofas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this vacuum have a HEPA filter?+
No, this model lacks a HEPA filter. Those with allergies may prefer a different vacuum with sealed filtration.
Can I turn off the brush roll for hard floors?+
No, the brush roll spins whenever the power is on, even when you use the hose. You can adjust the carpet height dial to reduce brush pressure on hard surfaces, but it won't stop completely.
Does it work well on high-pile carpets or shag rugs?+
Yes, the height adjustment dial handles everything from low bare floors to high-pile rugs without bogging down.
How do I prevent the belt from smoking?+
Regularly check and clean the brush roll compartment, especially if you have pets. Hair can wrap around the belt area, requiring screwdriver removal of the cover to clear it out. Doing this after every few uses reduces the risk of burning odor.
