My favorite feature are the LED lights, which will show you even the smallest of dust particles. The first time I used this vacuum cleaner, our cleaning lady had just cleaned the house. Well, so I thought. Using this Bissell vacuum cleaner I could see where she cleaned and where she didn’t, thanks to the LED lights. the Fur Guard had no problem at all sucking up everything to the smallest dust patches. It is fun to use with 3 different suction power levels and easy to clean. Our house has mainly hardwood floors and even the lowest suction power level is sufficient enough to get everything clean. Using the lowest power level also allows you to use the vacuum for a very long time (40min+) before it needs to be charged again. There is a 3 bar LED charging indicator and it takes about 2h to fully charge. My old Dyson handheld would only last about 7min to 10min on a full charge, so this is a whole new world of cordless vac for me. The vacuum comes with a floor cleaning size brush head tool and a smaller version for upholstery etc. Both work great in that they seem to not collect any hair around the brush roll. My Dyson constantly needed attention, since its brush tool would get clogged with long hair, etc. So again, The Bissell keeps impressing. It also shuts down the rotation brush motor if it senses too much resistance, which is great to prevent it from eating rugs and loose laundry like the long lost sock underneath the sofa. There is also a wand tool attachment with bristle adapter included in this set, which I haven’t even used yet. The only downside I have run into with this awesome machine is the big plastic knuckle at the bottom neck of the main wand, that allows for the vacuum to stand upright in its own. The knuckle adds quite a couple of inches to the height of the vacuum floorhead unit, which prevents it from reaching below furniture pieces and sofas that are lower than 5 inches off the ground. Other than that, there are no complains, only praise. I actually enjoy vacuuming the house now as this shore has become fun due to the LED lights showing exactlywhere you have cleaned already and where you still have something to suck up. All in all the Bissell Fur Guard is great value for the money and I give it two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars This vacuum has 2 features that became 'must haves' for every future vacuum cleaner I buy

I think this is a great vacuum! I bought the less powerful 200 watt version. I think every stick vacuum manufactured from here on out should have the following two features that this vacuum has:1. The bright LED headlights2. The "crevice" tool built in.I'm vacuuming along and find a hair ball in the corner of the room, I LOVE being able to step on the foot peg, which removes the vacuum head and there is a crevice tool built into the end of the stick. Then afterwards, I pop the stick back into the vacuum head without even having to bend over. It's super convenient and takes two seconds! NO more carrying around a separate crevice tool!! This vacuum brings great ease and convenience to my small daily spot clean. It just feels engineered with attention on functionality and usability.I would warn you that if I bought this vacuum to be my primary vacuum cleaner in the house, I would be disappointed. We use a 7 year old Dyson V10 as our main vacuum. For this vacuum, I think the dust bin is too small and the vacuum isn't quite powerful enough to be the main vacuum. I was surprised to read that the manufacturer recommends cleaning carpets on the lowest suction setting for the best results. I'm curious is this is also the recommendation for the 280 watt version also. We bought this vacuum to be our quick spot mess cleaner and it absolutely excels in that role. I'm not sure I could find a better "quick spot cleaning" vacuum on the market for this price point. If my son threw this in the river today, I'd buy another one tomorrow and wouldn't look at any other brand. I think this is an incredibly well designed vacuum cleaner that many other manufacturers will use as a benchmark in this category/price point. Well worth the price.

Easy to assemble, just snap a few pieces in place. Love the lights on the main motozied foot because you can see everything in your path. Goes effortlessly from carpet to floor and back again. Has plenty of power on the lowest setting so you can clean a large area without needing to recharge (finished carpeted living room/dining room combo, hallway, bedroom, and tiled kitchen floor and bathroom, plus several baseboards, and still had 1 1/2 out of 3 lights left on battery). Love the excessories and the fact they are so easy to switch. Vacuum is easy to empty. Absolutely amazed at how flat it operates allowing me to go around and under dining room chairs without moving them, as well as under other chairs, couches, tables, etc. Comparable weight to other vacs in this category. Love that it has a replaceable battery that is easy to charge and also the fact that the unit stands upright on its own. Very impressed with the product and price (it was on sale for $199). Would highly recommend for your use or as a gift!

I waited to use it several times before writing a review and here are my takeaways:Pros:- The vacuum is compact, lightweight, and easily portable. It's easy to carry around the house, which makes cleaning faster and less of a hassle.- The attachments are great. I have tried all of them and each one impressed me with its efficiency and suction power. The various attachments are easy to switch on and off.-We have two cats and lots of hair all over our floors, furniture, etc. This vacuum can handle hair without getting tangled or clogged.- I LOVE the light feature. It makes it so much easier to see what's in front of the vacuum and get everything.Cons:- The battery life isn't great. However, that is to be expected with a cordless vacuum. You can still get quite a bit of the house done on one charge. This vacuum's battery does last longer than another cordless one I have tried.- The vacuum is a bit difficult to maneuver. As you use it more, I will see that it does get easier to use. You just have to get used to it.Overall, I am very happy with this vacuum and would recommend!
