BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Rewind Upright Vacuum Cleaner

The noise level is reasonable. It’s quieter than my previous Hoover and much quieter than a shop vac. My dog doesn’t run and hide when I turn it on. He still leaves the room, but he doesn’t panic anymore.

This vacuum is lighter than my previous upright, so carrying it up and down stairs is manageable. It’s not the lightest on the market, but it’s well-balanced and the handle is comfortable. My wife has no trouble using it.

My old vacuum would get clogged with hair constantly. This BISSELL has a wider hose and a brush roll designed to resist tangles. After two months of weekly use, I haven’t had to cut a single hair off the roller. That’s a first for me.

I’ve used this on hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet. On hard floors, it doesn’t scatter debris like some vacuums do. The brush roll can be turned off for hard surfaces, which protects the floor and improves pickup.

The dustbin is easy to empty with the bottom release door. I don’t have to touch the hair or dust. Just hold it over the trash can and press the button. The bin capacity is decent for a bagless model, but with three pets I still empty it mid-clean sometimes.
