PowerEdge Pet (81L2A)

I saw this vacuum on QVC about a year ago and thought the design was unique and it appeared to be an effective stick vacuum. BUT there was not any reviews on it as of yet. I saw it again here, on Amazon (a year later)and was thrilled read over the reviews. In readng over what people had to say about it, I was thrilled to try this vacuum. It was easy to put together and I used it immediately. We have Brazilian Cherry Wood as most of our floor area, then tile in our kitchen and bathrooms. Since we are unable to use regular vacuums (as it scratches our floors)I was hoping to find "something" other than the good ol soft push broom and dust pan, as the dirt and sand (we live in the South)can be left behind by that method. We also have three Labradors and they do SHED! So finding a lightweight, vacuum that does not scratch the floors and picks up the "tumble hair" was my goal! So how does it work? AWESOME!! I like how the rubber sections push the dirt and hair into the suction hole. It is easy to empty and it really picks up everything! It is PERFECT for our home!! So if you are looking for an AWESOME vacuum that is lightweight, has great suction, and does not scratch your precious wood or tile floors then this is the perfect vacuum for anyone who has pets or just wants something that can effectively pick up sand/dirt and not just blow it around! I will be recommending this vacuum to my friends who have pets and or looking for a lightweight hardwood floor vacuum! I might even buy a second one and donate it to my club's AKC Labrador dog show in February!!!! Love it-thank you Bissel for making such a useful tool and Amazon for posting reviews and carrying such a FAB vacuum!

If you have pets and you have hard floor surfaces where hair collects, this thing is a no-brainer!!!!!!!! I wanted to wait until I had used this for awhile to do a review that would actually be helpful. If you have the furry tumbleweeds that we get with two German Shepher/Akita mix dogs, then by all means, GET.THIS.SWEEPER. First, if you're not familiar with GSDs, they have FIVE hairs in each follicle. Five. And what seems like a trillion hair follices. Add to that the underlying Akita FUR. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Serious amounts of hair, every day, all the time. We have a Dyson that has been going strong for over 8 years. Looooooove my Dyson. It's the bomb. But the motor is so strong, and blows directly toward the floor, it doesn't do as well with hard floors and this amount of hair. It literally blows some of it into the air. Not good. For carpets - amazeballs. Lots.of hard surfaces, not so much. When I read some of the reviews for this machine, I was a little skeptical, but it's a good price and I could return it if necessary. Not only would I not return it, I would gladly buy another in a heartbeat! It picks up every.single.hair. It has a little rubber guide on the bottom so nothing gets missed. The motor blows out the top so nothing gets blown around the floor and into the air. The filter??? Ooooooh the filter!! You should see the fine dust particles and everything when you take it out to clean it! This bad boy gets everything! What I took away from some comments in other reviews: * Definitely buy a replacement filter pack. It's well worth it so you can let one dry and have another one ready to go. Change it out and wash ONLY the foam sleeve every 4 or so uses, depending on how much hair and dust you find after said amount of uses. You'll be amazed at what you get in there and you'll want it to work optimally. * Definitely clean out the top maroon filter (the thing that looks like an upside-down funnel) with each use or at least every other use, and dump the container as often as well, again depending on what you're getting. * One review in particular said it didn't work well, and I believe this person also said their home had a lot of dog hair. This is not true at all. As long as you're cleaning it out each time you use it, it will work perfectly. Oh - and don't expect it to get everything after you've accumulated a week's worth of tumbleweeds - it's not going to last long. That's just common sense. But if you're not vacuuming every day or every other day and allowing serious accumulation, well then.........this sweeper not working for you is likely not your first issue. * Someone complained about the length of the cord. We have a sizeable house and I do have to unplug it and plug it into different outlets to get the entire first floor where the majority of the hard surfaces are located. This doesn't bother me. I feel that if they made it much longer, it would be a pain for people with apartments. It's not a biggie. Get an extension cord if you're that perplexed. Lol I am very particular about getting the hair off of the floor. To the point where our dogs our lucky I love them so much because it makes me THAT crazy. Yes, ok. Borderline OCD about the hair, if you must know. So if I love this sweeper, you will, too. :D

I moved into a new house with 100% hard surface floors, and having 2 cats I needed something specifically designed for that. The vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It picks up pet hair and small debris really well and I find myself using it all of the time. Don't expect this to work on carpet, it's not designed for that. Though, I can go over area rugs and it will work to some degree. There are a couple cons, but they are not deal breakers for me. First off, it's not all that big of a vacuum, so don't expect to be able to cover a lot of ground quickly. What adds to that is the fact that it's designed to filter the dirt from your floor to the center of the vacuum head to pick it up. That's fine, but the mechanism for doing that prevents it from working as well when pulling it backwards. I find my self following the planks of my wood floors in straight lines rather than having the vacuum cover untouched parts of the floor going backwards (hopefully that makes sense). The only other slight negative is that air that blows out of the vacuum points straight out in front, so if I'm holding it close to upright, I can see the fine pet hairs blowing around before I have a chance to get them. That's only a small issue for me as most of the time it's venting upwards because the vacuum is at an angle. Everything else is great. I have to vacuum 2 to 3 times a week and have had this for a couple months. I've seen no loss in suction. It works very well for what I needed.

Got my vacuum today. I purchased it for our main floor just to be able to quickly vacuum up daily dust/dirt. I have 2 Australian labradoodles and i wanted to be able to keep the floors clean daily without having to pull out my larger vacuum. For that purpose it is perfect, it is light weight, easy to store and use. I didn't like it on my area rug so i would say its only for hard floors. As another review said the air vent is in an odd spot on the front and does blow some of the dirt that your trying to clean up, however i didn't find it an issue except for in our powder room it blew the dust bunnies behind the toilet and then i couldn't reach it with the vacuum, for me thats not so much an issue because i have a small handheld that i just go and get the dirt from the tight areas with. So i'm pleased with my purchase and for the price it does exactly what i need it to.

Si tu mascota suelta mucho pelo, esta es la aspiradora que necesitas. Funciona muy bien y casi no pesa, es cuestión de acostumbrarte a la forma en V que tiene.

Eficiente y ligera

My husband and I aren't very tidy people, and really didn't realize how much of a mess our mostly white cats make until we replaced our thick light carpet with dark hand scraped hardwood... This vacuum doesn't get absolutely everything (the texture of our floors make it especially difficult), but it's pretty good for our non clean freak selves, is super light, and is such a good price. Definitely doesn't work well on our second floor carpet, but that's what the first vacuum is good for (it's such a chore to lug that thing around).

Es buena pero no es tan efectiva con el pelo de nuestras mascotas, esperaba que las "arrancara" de los sillones y la alfombra pero no. Para quitar pelos es mejor un quita-pelusa.
