Bissell 35951 CleanView Revolution Plus Upright Bagless Vacuum Description
A solid value in a bagless vacuum, the Bissell CleanView Revolution Plus offers a sturdy, easy-to-use alternative to conventional disposable-bag vacuums, all of which lose power as the bag fills. In contrast, the CleanView maintains constant, consistent suction even as it cleans the air with an HEPA media filter--a must for allergy sufferers, since it removes 99% of dust mites, pollen, and ragweed. Two rows of rotating brushes, an extra-wide 15-inch cleaning path, dual-edge cleaning, and a powerful 12-amp motor contribute to the vacuum's impressive dirt-busting performance. Add in a combination dusting brush/upholstery tool, a crevice tool for narrow spaces, an extension wand to add reach, and a handy Turbo Brush for cleaning pet hair from stairs and upholstery, and the versatile CleanView Revolution Plus is ready for just about any cleaning job you can throw at it.
Also impressive at this price point are the little design tweaks that make the CleanView such a pleasure to use: the extra-long 30-foot power cord with quick-release cord wrap, a bright headlight for illuminating under couches, the easy-emptying dirt container, and the durable, generously proportioned wire-reinforced hose. There are three handle positions--upright for storage, angled for normal cleaning, and near-flat for low cleaning under furniture--and seven height adjustments to accommodate surfaces from bare floors to heavy pile. A clean-carpet sensor comes in handy when vacuuming hard-to-see dirt and dust, and the clean filter indicator monitors airflow, letting you know when it's time to wash the filters.
On the down side, the CleanView Revolution Plus requires a little maintenance. Besides emptying full dirt cups, users should check the upper tank and pre-motor filter every month and clean as needed, clean or replace the post-motor filter every 3-6 months, and regularly inspect and clean the rotating floor brush and drive belt. But all of these parts are designed to be readily accessible without tools, and they rinse off easily in the sink--not much of a trade-off for maintaining the unit's sterling effectiveness. The Revolution Plus comes with an extra HEPA filter; it measures 15 inches long by 12-1/2 inches wide by 44 inches high, weighs 17 pounds, and is backed by a limited one-year warranty. --Mary Park
Bissell 35951 CleanView Revolution Plus Upright Bagless Vacuum customer reviews:
Great Vac Before I bought this Bissell, I used a top-of-the-line $400 machine that worked wonderfully until the motor gave out after about 10 years of use in a house with four cats and four children, so this vacuum had quite an act to follow. It is currently May 2007 and I have been using this Bissell since January 2006.
The suction on this Bissell is fantastic. When we moved, we discovered that the previous owners of our new home had carpeted the basement floor without first cleaning it. Some odd yellowish dust began coming up into the carpet and I peeled it back a little more than a foot to discover a coating of fine saw dust all over the floor. This Bissell sucked all that saw dust up through the carpet and padding! Now that's a deep down clean.
This Bissell also handles large items like a pro. With four kids, I can't even begin to tell you how many yogurt raisins and pieces of cereal have made their way into my vacuum's collection bin.
The parts of this vacuum are easy to remove and clean. All of the filters are easily accessible and can be removed without the use of tools. All of the filters and the bin can be rinsed easily in your bathtub or kitchen sink. Even most of the filter housings are easily removable for a quick rinsing. The main filter has an indicator that lets you know when you really need to rinse the filter and its housing to keep your vac sucking at its best.
Like some other reviewers, my Bissell lost suction earlier this month. This will happen with any vacuum and is easily remedied, particularly with this machine. The inner hose of the machine can become clogged over time, as will any vacuum with a hose. This particular machine is easy to disassemble to clear the clog and all you need is a phillips screw driver.
Simply pop off the foot plate by pressing the three tabs, carefully slide the brush roller out, and unscrew the clear plastic roller housing. The hose is connected to the brush housing and can be easily popped off with a little pressure. A single screw holds the inner hose to the back of the unit where the extension hose connects to the frame. Simply remove that screw and slide the hose out through the back of the vacuum. Now take it outside or to your trash can and knock the crap out of it until the hose is free of debris. You can use a butter knife or a broom handle to help with stubborn clogs if necessary. Slide the hose back in, replace the screw, pop the other end back onto the roller housing and put everything back the way you found it. Viola, your machine sucks in the best possible way once again! This takes only about 20 minutes of your time and there is no need to trash and replace a perfectly fine piece of machinery for such a minor ailment even top of the line vacuums suffer from - especially when you can easily fix it all by yourself! Reviewing this after 2years of use I bought the previous version of this same vacuum 3593-3 two and half years ago to use it in my apartment (carpeted). It still works great, but am planning to get rid of this as the front wheel frame broke (which is the reason i rated this at 4). It still has the suction 75-80% of what it was when new. All i had to do is clean the filters and the brush once every 5-6 months. Still love this one.
When compared to the new Vacuums, this one is light weight and never ached my arms even if i did vacuum the whole apartment (1100 Sft) at a strech. Works great, but............................... This vacumn really picks up the dirt, pet hair etc very well. We have a dog, 2 cats and a bird so we have a lot of hair and feathers. The first day I used the unit the canister was full after one room which was amazing. I had just vacumned a couple of days prior. I'm impressed with that factor. The only thing I don't like about mine is that the hose keeps falling loose. I like the fact that there is a long cord as my old machine didn't even reach to the other side of the room. All in all a good product abd reasonably priced. LOVE IT!! Great for hardwoods and high carpet! I bought this vacuum without doing any research (basically bought it because the price was right!) Little did I know that I landed on a gold mine. I bought this vacuum in May of 2006 and in March of 2008 it lost it's suction. However, this was totally MY fault.
I was getting ready to purchase a different vacuum and realized that there were 3 filters that needed to be cleaned regularly on my Bissell. Lo and behold 3 absolutely filthy filters in much need of TLC! They were all VERY easy to remove and clean. It took about 30 mins to clean and dry all of them. Replaced all the filters and crossed my fingers... my vacuum is like new again!
I have high shag carpet and hardwoods- the Bissell works great on both with the height adjuster on the roller brush. The only reason I do not give this vacuum 5 stars is because it doesn't do an AMAZING job removing my yellow lab's dog hair from my black oriental rugs. I have to run the vacuum over and over again to remove all the hairs, but it does eventually get the job done, just not as powerfully/quickly as I would like.
SUMMARY:
Pros:
1. Very easy to remove and clean filters
2. Bagless (easy to dump-may want to dump in a trash bag outside if you have dust allergies).
3. Super long cord
4. Great suction
5. Awesome pet hair attachment
6. Brush roller height adjustment perfect for all floor types
7. Wide path
8. HEPA filter
9. UNDER $100!!!
Cons:
1. Slightly heavy to lift, but not hard to push (it does however have a place to lift the vacuum in the back for ease going up and down stairs)
2. VERY Loud
3. Hose could be a little longer. vacuum Great vacuum. Bought it as a gift for my daughter. My grandson has alergies and this all but stopped his sneezing and coughing after a couple uses. Good pickup and easy to empty.
