![]() ![]() This is a bit of a downside too, but that’s not the big complaint people have. The way the belt sits in the vacuum leaves a blind spot on the brush on the bottom of the vacuum. Almost every single person had the exact same problem, so it’s definitely a potential problem to be aware of. When looking at all those reviews on Amazon, the biggest complaint though was this vacuum dying quickly. If you’re going to use it properly, according to the instructions, you’d have to empty it pretty often which is definitely a downside. That does not seem like a very good solution. A lot of people said they would just let it fill up as high as it could until it started losing some suction. In a lot of the reviews, people were talking about this. Even though this is quite a large bin, you’re only supposed to fill it up partway. The big downside to this is the full line is only midway up the bin. Overall, it’s not too bad to empty the dustbin. Unfortunately, I had to stick my arm up inside and pull out those hairballs, which is kind of gross. I did find that especially with hairballs, they got stuck up in the top. You just have to hit a button to release it and then there’s a button on the back that flips the bin open over your trash can so you can dump out the dust and hair. Bissel Cleanview: Other Things to ConsiderĮmptying the dust bin on this vacuum is pretty easy. I would say that’s a definite real downside to this vacuum. The only way you could avoid this issue is if you could have the vacuum kind of tipped back somewhere while you’re using the attachments. Or if you’re using it on some other surface like maybe out in your garage when you’re trying to vacuum a car, this is spinning all the time and just flinging things around. If you have it sitting on your carpet, the main brush is spinning on the carpet the whole time and could really be damaging your carpet. So when you’re using the attachments, it’s spinning the whole time. Here’s the really big downside to when you’re using attachments to the Bissel cleanview: there is no way to shut off the main brush on the vacuum. Bissel Cleanview: Downside of Attachments It’s also easy to get apart and put back together again. The way they store it on the vacuum makes it pretty easy to use. It’s not a super high-end hose but it’s alright. I can reach pretty far with the extension so I think it works okay. The extension is not very long, but the hose is reasonably long. Honestly, if you’re going to clean corners why wouldn’t you just use the crevice tool that you already have? I think because there’s nowhere to store this tool on the vacuum, most people are just going to lose it in their closet anyway. I don’t really get the point of this one. The corner tool doesn’t have a storage place on the vacuum. Then there is a corner tool, a crevice tool, and an extension wand. It works just like any brush attachment for a vacuum. You also get a basic brush attachment and this one works fine. It’s one of those things that seems like a good idea but I don’t think it really works that well. So it’s kind of pointless to have that brush in there if it doesn’t even spin when you’re actually vacuuming things. Once I got it put together I wanted to check it out around the house. This vacuum just took a Phillips screwdriver to get the handle on. It’s called the Bissel Cleanview Swivel Pet Vacuum and I went ahead and ordered one. How in the world could a low-cost vacuum handle a household with pets? When I was looking around on Amazon for a vacuum, I was really shocked that the best-selling pet vacuum is so inexpensive. ![]() I’ve got two kids and a dog so there’s plenty of dirt around here.
