This product was easy to put together. After putting it together, I couldn't wait to use it! I love the suction power of this vacuum cleaner. I use it everyday!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lois 04 Does not pick up anything
We bought this vacuum a little over a year ago. It is the worse vacuum ever. Takes me three times as long to sweep the carpets because I go have to go over and over it and it still does not come clean. I should have returned it to the store. And the filters have to be cleaned every time it is used which takes more time. Give me a vacuum w/ a bag to take out and throw away any day. I will never purchase another Bissell.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LoJ Ear piercing noisy
Read all the reviews and bought the Clearview model.
The cleaning was fine, but it was so loud that we had to wear ear pads.
We finally gave up using the vacuum after a few tries and since our daughter needed a new vacuum, we gave it to her.
Her 15 month old toddler was in the same room as she turned it on the first time and the child was so highly startled that she is not able to use the vacuum in her house either.
Do we have a defective vacuum? Is there something that we could do to lessen the ear piercing noise?
Please help!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Frustrated repeat Bissell customer Didn't last long before it's lack of quality began to show
I owned this vacuum for 1 year, 8 months and already the base of the CleanView Helix has broken and will no longer stay upright on it's own. This is the second Bissell I've owned with this problem. The negative reviews about the constant filter cleanings are accurate, but this is the price to pay for this bagless vacuum.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coolcoy79 Fantastic vacuum
I had been using a borrowed Dirt Devil to vacuum around my apartment and the first time I used the Bissell it was a day after I had used the Dirt Devil. I wasn't surprised to see how much more junk it sucked out of the carpet like dirt and more fuzz! I don't even mind cleaning the filters after every time because I know it will keep the unit running for years and like new!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sham Features of this Vac
Bought this vac 2 weeks ago. Works great as a vacuum but the filters need cleaning constantly. Suppose that's a good thing since they are really doing their job. Performs well on all my carpets and throw rugs. The tools are a nightmare. First no standard vacuum tools will fit this unit. So if you have specialty tools you're out of luck. Not a standard size 1.25 diameter. The double tool is useless since it always turns when you are using it and prevents the suction from the side you want and you can't replace it with any other tool that is better because of the size issue. As you try to use the tools, the hose does not stretch well and the vacuum continually falls over so you are never far from you vac. The connection from the hose to the bottom unit is weak and continually pulls out the socket. Dissappointed in a lot of the features except the floor vac part. Probably would not purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Older mountain man Great job on pet hair
We bought this a month ago and use it on carpet and bare floors. We have 2 cats (one is a long hair that sheds constantly). The first time vacuuming the carpet I had to empty the dirt container and clean the filters about every 10 minutes. Amazing what was picked up even though we vacuum regularily. Granted, the filter cleaning process is a bit time consuming; but, I have a tip. Rather than washing the outer (foam) circular filter every time you empty the dirt container, take it outside and brush it off, shake it really well and reinstall it. Then, do the thorough cleaning and washing of the parts when you're done for the day. I think this is a very good vacuum for the money!

It cleans fairly good when it is new. It requires cleaning of all the filters after every use otherwise you will spent double of time vacuuming. It requires about 20 minutes to wash all the filters and then wait a day or two till it is all dry. Besides all the filter troubles. There's a pipe at the back which you need to unscrew in order to clean, but the trick of using a broom stick as described in care instructions doesn't work. I had to use long knitting needle, fork and spent about 30 minutes trying to clean the clog. I wish at the moment I bought that vacuum a had a bit more money to buy something with the bag. You have to spent lots of personal time on bagless vacuums.

I got an inexpensive but high quality vacuum today! It's amazing and I couldn't be happier. The vacuum is lightweight and easy to put together. It sucked up an amazing amount of dirt. Can't wait to use it again (maybe tomorrow)!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Will2011 Needs frequent cleaning
This vacuum cleaner is very good at sucking up dirt and pet hair, but it has several components that collect dust and have to be cleaned. I wanted to get away from having to buy bags, but I didn't expect to have to spend so much time cleaning the filters.

This vacuum cleaner picks up everything. I kinda cheated. My daughter has the same model and I've used it, so, I knew what I was getting ahead of time. I don't know which is the best feature....performance or price! I'm a happy customer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Di123 This product works great at cleaning up all my dog hair.
I am impressed with this vacuum. It does a great job of cleaning my floors and furniture. I did have a problem with the hose placement. It tends to tip over if you don't have it close to where you are cleaning. My other bissel vacuum has the hose suction located at the bottom of the vacuum and I find I use that one when I have to vacuum under furniture and beds. I do think this is a really good price and great vacuum but fix that hose placement and it would make me very happy,

Rated 5 out of 5 by markva2 Great for pet owners
Bought this vacuum to replace a Eureka and was just absolutely blown away the first time I ran it. I'm not sure what the old vacuum was doing, but cleaning must not have been it. This vacuum pulled out piles of cat fur and dirt from the carpets. I've owned it now for about 2 months every time I run it the carpets look new again and I get a bin full of fur and dust. Truly a fantastic vacuum cleaner!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Beej 6 This product has good suction and cleans very well.
I like the cleaning strength of this product. The dust catcher is easy to empty but requires additional washing when the job is done. Yet, I like it better than cleaning the "wind tunnel" machines with a toothbrush. I have not used all the attachments yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Retired and lovin' it. We've had this vacuum for 6 weeks and are very happy with it.
The Bissell Cleanview Helix Deluxe does an excellent job of cleaning. This is our first bagless vacuum and we do find that there is more maintenance in keeping the filters and parts clean than with a bag model. There is a trade-off however, since the bagless model seems to do a much better job in removing pet hair and dust from the carpets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by js great vacuum
I was amazed at the amount of dirt and debris this vacuum gets out of your carpet. The first time I used it I had to empty the dust compartment 3 times because it got so much "trapped" dirt out of the carpet. The best feature is the turbo brush. If you have pets, this device really gets the hair off your couch! It works so much better than just a simple hose attachment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lady Eighty Fulfilled my expectations.
With only a small efficiency apartment to keep free of cat hair and dust blown in through a western exposure, this was the ideal vacuum for me. The cannister is easy to remove, and access to the filters is simple. I can easily adjust brush height to accommodate the peaks and valleys of an aging carpet. I had prior experience with a Bissell product so expected assembly and cleaning procedures to be relatively uncomplicated, which they were. This was a real bargain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Molson2043 Fantastic Product!
We cannot believe the power of this machine. We don't have a lot of carpets, but we do have substantial American Eskimo dog hair from our best pal. The Helix Deluxe does an unbelievable job of removing the silky fine hair from carpets and area rugs and is a breeze to use. We could not be more pleased and would easily buy more products from Bissell.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jb I like the vacuum but
Vacuum works well picks up everything, the cumbersome part of my vacuum experience is that the hose for some reason won't stay put in it's little holder so I constantly trip on it and roll over it while vacuuming.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Robin Really like this vacuum!
The best thing about this vacuum is that it is bagless. When it gets full, it is easy to see because the basket is clear and it is really easy to empty. It cleans very well, including the handheld attachments.
