Bissell
Bissell Pet Hair Eraser DualBrush Upright Vacuum with Two Brush Rolls, DualBrush Self-Cleaning Technology, HEPA Sealed Allergen System, Bright FurFinder Headlights, Lift-Off Pod, 42946
Best for
Pet owners with wall-to-wall carpet who need deep cleaning and don’t mind a heavier machine; skip it if you want a lightweight vacuum for quick daily pickups on mostly hard floors.
What buyers say
Most owners praise this vacuum's ability to pull up deeply embedded pet hair and fine debris, often outperforming older machines they’ve trusted for years. The main trade-off is its considerable weight, which adds cleaning power but makes it tiring for long sessions or carrying up stairs.
Loved by buyers
- •Dual brush rolls agitate carpet fibers effectively, lifting pet hair that other vacuums leave behind.
- •Bright FurFinder headlights make hidden dirt and hair visible, even in dim rooms.
- •Lift-away pod and lighted attachments simplify cleaning stairs, furniture, and tight spots.
Buyer concerns
- •The machine is heavy, causing wrist and arm fatigue during whole-house cleaning.
- •Pet hair tends to cling inside the canister, requiring manual removal when emptying.
- •The powered hand tool runs on replaceable batteries rather than being rechargeable, which feels outdated.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the power cord?+
Owners say the cord is generous and covers a large area without unplugging. Bissell doesn’t specify the exact length, but one reviewer cleaned their entire basement from one outlet.
Does it come with a HEPA filter and is it sealed?+
Yes, the HEPA Sealed Allergen System traps 99.97% of dust and dander, which owners with allergies or pets found helpful for keeping the air clean.
Can I use it on hardwood floors safely?+
It transitions automatically between carpet and hard floors, and the soft front roller helps protect floors. Just be careful not to let the spinning brush roll sit on delicate surfaces like rubber mats.
Is the vacuum loud?+
It’s relatively quiet compared to older upright models. One reviewer said it was much quieter than their old Dyson.
