- Great price, great suction, hard to push
- 5 stars for suction. 3 stars for ease of vacuuming/pushing. So I average 4 stars for the Bissell Cleanview II 3576. Overall, considering the low cost of this vacuum, it's a great deal. I have no issue with the level of suction I'm getting from this machine. I live in a rural mountain town with four shedding dogs and two males. Need I say more? Hair and dirt are a major part of my life. The Bissell fills the dirt cup when you could swear your carpet was already clean. I don't find emptying the dirt cup to be much of an issue as some people do. I don't "dump" it into the trash... instead I lay it on top of the trash itself, turn it over and then gently tap it. I would be dealing with way more dust flying around if I were changing a vacuum bag. I also like to use carpet fresheners (like Arm & Hammer Pet Care) which involve sprinkling, and then vacuuming, baking soda type powders. That would be a problem with bag style vacuums as they can feel up quickly and be quite heavy. This IS a heavy vacuum, but any good vacuum I see for sale is in the same weight category, to be honest. The only significant drawback to this Bissell is that it can really resist moving across the carpet. I can't say I blame it... I resist vacuuming, too. Ha ha. But, I would like for this Bissell to show a little more motivation! And vacuum suction at the edges is weak. But again, for the low price, if you want a well-made sturdy vacuum with great suction, the Bissell is great. Easy to switch between vacuuming and using the attachments, too... a problem with some higher end vacuums like the Dysons.

- Something not quite right about this one
- I wanted to love the vacuum....
and I like some of the features very much like:
it's fairly lightweight
it's bagless, and the filters can be washed
you can easily empty the bin
it's pretty!!
and it cleaned my carpets really well, making them look fantastic...
But what is going to make me take it back for a refund is:
It has an odd smell when it's on
the hose and attachments are worthless because they are too short, and if you pull on the hose it pulls the whole vacuum over
the bin is too small, and I have to empty it every time I vacuum, and my place is small
I have a feeling it's not sturdy overall, and notice that all the waste doesn't blow down into the bin...some seems to get a bit caught up in the upper part of the cannister.
So, I'd say keep looking.. - 2007-08-23, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Bissel CleanView II does a great job...
- We've owned this vac for several months now. Contrary to some reviews I've read it still works great! Yes, you have to clean the filters on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, but it's really no big deal. We have two hairy dogs (a golden retriever and a yellow lab). You can imagine the dirt these two generate. Well, the Bissel just sucks it all up. You can actually see the carpet change color while vacuuming! And, I vacuum that carpet every other day! The on-board accessories are the standard types you would expect plus a Turbo Brush that works pretty good on stuffed furniture. Are there better vacs out there? Probably, but not in the $80-$100 range.

- worked great for 2 months, then trouble
- Purchased this vacuum because we needed one with the height adjust for our new carpeting. THis vacuum did a great job for 2 months, then it just quit. Luckily it was under warranty and we contacted Bissell and they sent us a new vacuum. Good customer service. The replacement vacuum was good, but seemed to work a little less each time. Emptying the dirt cup and washing the filters is a real chore. If you dont clean them though the vacuum wont suck up anything. Well, in about a year the replacement vacuum has died. One day while vacuuming I smelled something burning. I checked the vacuum and the brush was not turning. I opened up the compartment that houses the brush and out came this burnt piece of plastic. The belt had also fallen off. I put the belt back in place, snapped the vacuum back together and was able to complete vacuuming. Unfortunately now I can only vacuum 2 rooms at a time before the belt falls off again. Now I am in the process of researching vacuums because I do not want to waste my money again. A vacuum is not something I look to replace every year or two and it seems that most made these days do not last any longer than that. DO not waste money on this bissell. I personally would not buy another bissell either. If one product is poorly made it does not speak well for the rest.

- This vacuum is crap!
- We bought this vacuum hoping to have it for a long while. We had been going through vacuums pretty quck, guess we just have bad luck. I was dissapointed right of the bat. The suction leaves ALOT to be desired. We had it for a little more that a year and it stopped working, it simply wouldn't turn on anymore. We got a Dyson and will never own any other type of vacuum. It is worth every penny!!! No other vacuum can even come close to a Dyson, so save your money and buy one instead of this piece of junk!
