 I love this vacuum |

I've only had it for a week, but I love it already. I have a small house and a bunch of kids (plus one cat) the stuff this vacuum pulled out of the carpet was amazing. I thought I kept a farely clean house already and as my old Hoover was begining to fail, (it stopped sucking on one side so I'd have to go round in circles) I bought this hoping it would do a better job.
Great value for the money, no bags to empty, much quieter than any vacuum I've ever owned, lighweight compared to my old vacuum and washable filters (all but one)
I did have to empty the cup after each room as my carpets were so full of dust and dirt (who knew?) I usually vacuum daily and as the week has gone by the cup has needed emptying less often each day, so I must be getting cleaner?

My old Hoover, which I've used for the past decade, just died on me last week, and I've been too lazy to get a new one, so my carpet has been pretty dirty. I've been looking into the Dysons, but I don't have $500...So I got this machine today at Target(actually, the special edition, but I can't see any difference between the two, except the SE is red colored) and it was a snap to put together, and I vacuumed. I was simply amazed at how much dust this thing pulled out of the carpet, which is pretty plush. The extension hose is also very nice--since you remove it from the vacuum itself when you want to use it , you get 100% of the suction in the little tube, which is REALLY powerful.
This thing is MUCH quieter than my last vacuum. I don't know how quiet it is in comparison to others, but it's not bad.
The dust cup is easy to empty, and a snap to replace.
Overall, this is a very inexpensive vacuum that does a good job, and it shows. |
This Is A Phenomenal Piece Of Equipment!!!

I received my Bissell CleanView II on Thursday and used it for the first time today. Putting parts together was a cinch and once I vacuumed my entire apartment, you would've thought that I lived in FILTH with the amount of dirt this thing sucked up! (I DON'T live in filth, by the way)!!! This vacuum is, simply put, EXCELLENT! Getting under the bed was a breeze and it's no noisier than any other vacuum! My carpets turned out looking as good as if I had JUST bought them! After I was done, I had to IMMEDIATELY write this review up because no one else who doesn't have this vacuum shouldn't spend another day without it!!! It's absolutely SENSATIONAL! Now, mind you, this is coming from someone who's not exactly THRILLED to house clean, but this vacuum may actually wind up changing my mind --- at least about vacuuming!
**************
I'd like to take back everything I wrote about this waste of money! I got the opportunity to use this for less than a YEAR, before it lost suction and had to be thrown away! PITIFUL waste of funds! I now have an InfinityVac vacuum cleaner --- a poor man's version of the Dyson. I've used it only once so far, and MAN, does this thing work! I'll have to use it a few more times before I write up a review for it, but like the Bissel, on its first try, it's a dream! |
This thing sucks in a good way!

I had a gift card for Target and decided I was going to use it for a new vacuum cleaner because the Eureka I have is heavy, noisy, and barely picks up anything. I saw this one advertised in Target's ad today for $74.99. I snatched up the last one on the shelf after reading all of the great reviews about it. I just bought this thing about two hours ago. It took all of about 60 seconds to assemble. I have a small parrot so there is a lot of feather dander in my apartment. This thing is so powerfull, it snatched up some of his bird food on the floor withoout a problem as well as lot of his feathers because he is currently molting. The HEPA feature is great. I cleaned my whole apartment and decided to clean under the sofas and furniture. The container filled up about one and half times, but it is so easy to change. The light is superbright on this thing, so I even unplugged the floor lamp and was able to vacuum in the dark without a problem. The cord is long enough to reach anywhere in my apartment without switching outlets. It does a great job on barefloors too. One of the best features about this thing is the attachment with the brush. If you use the reverse side of this attachment, it is so strong it will stick to things like coffee tables, television sets and blinds and suck the dust right off of them better than a Swiffer could.
This is the best vacuum you can get for the price, plus it has the HEPA filter and a couple of other filters, which all look to be very easy to clean and change. This machine is highly recommended, especially if you have allergies and/or pets. |
Great and inexpensive vacuum

| I recently relocated from a house with Central Vac - needing a vacuum quickly that would pick up cat hair and bird dander (I have a cockatoo), I opted for the Bissell 2576 CleanView II Plus Upright. I paid $79 here on Amazon w/ no shipping charges. The vacuum is a gem! I was afraid it would not do a good job, but it is awesome. I would recommend this vacuum to all. It's also easy to clean and to assemble. |
Awesome

| I just bought my Bissell about 3 weeks ago. I purchased this model because of the reviews on Amazon. Every one was right; this is a great vacuum, easy to use and fairly lightweight. It is great because the hose attachment is already attached, so as you are vacuuming if you want to use the hose, just pick it up and start using it. No attaching to anything. The vacuum is easy to clean, it is great not having bags and the filters are easy to wash and get to. The suction power on this vacuum is great. It has a wide clearance path and it is nice having the light. I would suggest buying it at Wal-Mart if not online. I bought mine at Kmart, because my husband did not want to shop around, & I saw it for $20.00 cheaper at Wal-Mart a few weeks later. Wish I would have bought it a long time ago!! |
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. |
A sad good bye.

I just bought my second Bissell Clean View Upright Bagless Vacuum after three years of faithful service from its predecessor. Sadly, my wife forgot to put the round filter back into the clear canister after a thorough cleaning. I ran it once without the filter and that was it. From that day forth, no suction was available and after a few words from each family member and a hearty growl and hiss from the cats, it was sorrowfully laid to rest on our curb. Maybe, some industrious garbage man will take it upon himself to open her up further than I did and clean out her suction motor. I cracked her open, taking everything apart except the motor but refused to do open heart surgery. I think she would have been happier knowing that she went out at full suction, rather than fading away.
Thus, my only caveat would be never operating without the filters in place. I should have known better, and from now on I will definitely check before each use. However, on the plus side, as long as you can remember to replace them, washing all the filters (the old girl had three) in the dishwasher once a month was all it took to keep her in top sucking shape.
For $75, you can't get a better deal. Buy this and spend the $300-$400 more dollars you were going to use to buy that DYSON and invest it in a few years worth of professional carpet shampooing. Ask yourself, does a five-hundred dollar vacuum make me cool? Or, does it make me a fool with too much money?

The absolute BEST bang-per-buck value in vacs today!!!

| I am a vacuum conoisseur, if you will. Meaning I have extensively studied, researched, and owned all kinds of popular bagless vacs for years, having owned Hoovers, Eurekas, Dirt Devils, Fantoms, and Bissells, to name a few. All in all, since the advent of bagless vacs, I have probably owned at least 7 over the years. Most of them did not perform nearly as well as the Bissell, did not last, or both! Being I am both a dog owner, and allergic to accumulated dander and pet hair, I have to vacuum at least every other day. So over the years, I have put my vacuum cleaners to the practical test, and then some, you might say. In short, I loved the first Bissell 'Cleanview' bagless model so much, that I bought the 'Cleanview II' as well. This is without question, the absolute best of all the affordable bagless vacs I have owned. The Bissell has a very intuitive and simple to use emptying canister, easily removable and washable filters, great suction power, and quality build. Plus, this vacuum has never given me any problems whatsoever. Amazingly, my original Bissell 'Cleanview' is operating as well as it did on its first day, now being almost 2 years later. No broken belts, no loss of suction, no mechanical issues, etc. Amazing!!! Folks, this is how products should be built. A truly great, inexpensive, high performance, trouble-free, bagless vac. P.S. Another model which deserves high acclaim as well, is the 'Eureka Maxima' bagless. Check out my review of it here on Amazon as well! |
A superb vacuum!

| I just received my vacuum today, and putting it together was a piece of cake, all you need is a screw driver and some common sense. At first i was hesitant because the vacuum was inexpensive as it came with tools and such, but wow, it was worth every penny. I just vacuumed my living room, and to my surprise, i had more dust and hair then i could have possibly noticed if i juss used a broom. Highly recommended. |
The BEST!

| I got this vacuum cleaner this morning and just finished using it in one room. The results are absolutely outstanding! It picked a lot more dust and hair than my old vacuum cleaner that I used in the same room just yesterday! The Bissell 3576 CleanView II Upright Bagless Vacuum is really the best I've ever owned. Another wonderful Bissell product! |
Its really good.

| UPS delivered this vacuum three days before my estimated delivery date. Yeah!! The vacuum is amazing! The amount of dirt it collects after the first use is unbelievable. You will never believe how dirty your carpet and rugs can get. The filters are fantastic because it makes you feel like your carpets are really getting clean. As a mother and daycare provider who vacuums several times a day I highly recommend this reasonably priced vacuum. |
great price, great vac

| MY LORD I NEVER KNEW WHAT LIES IN MY CARPETS TILL NOW. THIS VACUUM IS A DIRT KILLER LOOKS AS IF YOU HAD A STEAM CLEANING. ONLY DRAW BACK IS IF HOUSE IS REALLY DIRTY CAUSE YOUR OLD VACUUME BEEN DEAD FOR 3 MONTHS YOU WILL HAVE TO CLEAN THE BAGLESS FILTER EVERY ROOM BUT WELL WORTH IT. BUT IF YOU VACUUME ONCE A WEEK ITS NOT AS OFTEN. THIS VACUMME WILL DO A GREAT JOB FOR ANY KIND OF SURFACE. IF A DOOR TO DOOR SALESMAN WOULD HAVE CAME AND SHOWN THIS VACUUME ON MY RUG IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD RIGHT THEN AND THERE THATS HOW IMPRESSED I WAS. BUT I HAVE ALWAYS OWN THE BEST DEAL VACUMME I CAN GET, SO IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS SPEND $200.00 ON A VACUUME YOU MIGHT JUST FEEL THE SAME, BUT I ONLY SPENT $80.00 AND FEEL LIKE DYSON VACUUME CAN KISS MY (...) WHY PAY OVER $200.00 WHEN YOU GET QUALITY FOR A LOT LESS |
ALMOST AS GOOD AS DYSON

I have a Dyson for my home and just love it, but I needed a new vacuum for our business and did not want to spend $400. I did a lot of research as well as reading many reviews of different brands. I decided to buy a Bissell based on the many positive reviews. I narrowed my choices to the 3576 and the 3594, both with many positive reviews. The 3594 was $50 more, had more features and more attachments, but I felt I did not need the extras featured on the 3594.
I purchased the Bissell Cleanview II #3576 today on sale for $79. I decided to try it at home before taking it to my office. Assembly was a snap. Suction was excellent, it collected as much or more dirt as my Dyson does each week. The Dyson is slightly quieter, but the Bissell is much quieter than most other brands I have had in the past. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver (almost seems to light to last, but time will tell).
My only complaints are:
1. The cord is too short, I had to change outlets several
times. Easily solved by leaving an extension cord
attached, or you can spend the extra $50 for the #3594
and get an extra 8' for cord.
2. The handle may be too short for anyone who is very tall.
I am only 5'6" and I had to hold the handle at the very
tip to keep from stooping over.
3. The cord clip at the handle does not do a very good job
of keeping the cord is place while vacuuming, but only a
slight inconvenience.
My two main objectives--Good suction and not too noisy-- have more than been met with this $79 Bissell. Anyone who wants a vacuum that does a very good cleaning job, but doesn't want to spend the high price for a Dyson should definitely consider the Bissell 3576. |
For the price, can't ask for much more.

The Bissell Cleanview II vacuum is a Quick Recommendation from Consumer Reports if low price is a main concern. Which I took as meaning, if you don't want to spend a lot of bucks, this will be plenty good. They were right and I'm pleased with the ~$80 spent on this vacuum. My model is actually the 3576-6 model which is the 3576 model with a TurboBrush and shorter cord. CR's Best Buy is a Eureka model at almost double the cost. If I had more area to clean, other than my living room rug and a long hallway runner, I may have considered the Eureka.
PROS:
- Picks up everything
- Long hose attachment with tools
- Easy to put together
- 27-foot power cord
- Easy to empty dirt cup
- HEPA filter
- Inexpensive filter replacements (HEPA media filter is $9.99)
- Headlight
- Soft bumper sides
- Pile adjust settings
- Easy carry handle
- 1 Year Warranty
CONS:
- Pretty loud
- Big & heavy
- Wheels make a lot of noise
- 1 Year Warranty
I live in a flat that has hardwood floors. I purchased a small stick vac with a 6-amp motor to use on a living room rug, a hallway runner, and a small patch of carpet in the bedroom. After a while, I realized it wasn't working very well at all. It tended to push debris, dust, and pet hair around instead of sucking it up.
I finally decided to stop playing around with stick vacs and decided to get a full-sized one. I referred to Consumer Reports for advice and though I really wanted to get the Eureka that they recommended as a Best Buy, I couldn't justify the price for the small area I would be using it for.
My main requirements were that it actually pick up everything off of my rugs and that it had easy to use attachments. The HEPA filter was a bonus. I now realize that since the last time I bought a full-sized vacuum (1995), vacuum cleaners have come a long way.
ASSEMBLY
Couldn't be simpler. All you have to do is attach the handle with one screw and then place the hose and attachments onboard.
CLEANING
I had just used my stick vac a few days earlier. After putting together the CleanView II, I thought I'd give it a whirl. What it picked up that the stick vac didn't was amazing. The dust cup was already beyond the full line! My rugs have never been cleaner.
ATTACHMENTS
The hose is extendable and easy to to use. It is as simple as lifting it off of the unit and placing any of the onboard attachments to it.
NOISE
Don't run it at night if you live in an apartment and want to be considerate of your neighbors. It doesn't have a super high pitched noise, but it definitely rumbles. The cat went scurrying away and hid when I turned it on. The plastic wheels seem to contribute to the noise too. I don't know why someone hasn't come up with rubber or inline wheels for vacuums.
MISC
It's a heavy vacuum (21 lb shipping weight), but it's not so heavy as to be a burden. Granted, I don't have much to clean. The headlight is nice so I can see in areas of my flat that are not well lit. The manual pile adjustment dial is easy enough to use and has seven height settings. The dirt cup is easily removeable and emptied, though slightly messy. It's also easy to turn the power on and off.
The cord is located on the right side of the vacuum. If felt somewhat awkward when I tried to guide the cord while vacuuming since I normally vacuum with my right hand and guide the cord with my left.
SUMMARY
This vacuum works and is easily the nicest I've ever owned. I thought I could get away with using one of those smaller vacs to take care of simple jobs on small areas. I was wrong and wasted nearly $50 learning that lesson. The Bissell Cleanview II is not that expensive and does a good job. What more could I ask for? |
