Bissell MultiClean Allergen Lift-Off Pet Vacuum with HEPA Sealed System, Detachable Canister for Stairs & Upholstery, LED Headlights, Tangle-Free Brush Roll, 2998

We used a Bissell pet specific model of vacuum for the longest time until it died recently so we needed a new one. This one was our selection and it has been working rather well. It's powerful, easy to empty, and it has a lot of versatility in terms of its function given you can detach it from the body part. Setup was easy as you get all the main pieces and you just need to attach them together following the guide. It's also nice in the sense you see how that detachment piece functions so you're doing less guesswork when you want to utilize it. The detachment part is my favorite element as you can carry it up stairs more easily without a giant vacuum head piece banging around. In general it's a good vacuum that is a reasonable size, powerful suction, and easy to clean. I would recommend if you're in the market for a nice vacuum.

Just got my new Bissell 2998 yesterday and it’s already been used four times. It is light enough to lift from the box and assemble without instructions but I referred to them anyway. I like the way it all connects with a twist & lock or just a click without needing to refer to highly technical schematics. This is my third new vacuum in six years. Both prior vacuums, a Shark Liftaway and Bissell ClearView, still operate very well but my back and shoulders couldn’t take it any more. The ClearView is significantly more difficult for me to push, and the Shark is awkward. The new 2998 has fantastic suction and for some reason, I suspect it’s the closed HEPA filtration unit, it’s not pulling at my w-2-w carpet up the way the Shark did. Yet it’s powerfully extracting the finest dust particles! I’m just blown away by the power, quality, versatility, and most of all ease of cleaning. It came with an attachment for high dusting or hard to reach corners and the other for upholstery. I wish I had a before picture to share of my ottoman but I literally brought the original color back after two passes using the upholstery attachment. I also like that I can use the rollers or not and adjust for bare floors without having to bend or reach for the switch. The unit is more compact than most vacuums although it’s certainly weighty enough and it’s not made with cheap plastic. It’s actually a pretty appliance if you can believe it. I don’t know after so many months of searching, googling, using AI resources and finally the one embedded in the Amazon app - which I love! - I’m just so thrilled to finally have something to use that doesn’t make me feel my age. My back didn’t hurt once! I nearly selected a Eureka model for about $90 less, and for $200 more I could have the Shark Stratos that was in my cart for four days before finally finding this one. I made the right choice. Highly recommended!

Expensive but I think it's going to be worth it. Pros: Great suction; I first did a through vacuuming with my last vacuum (which is super cheap ($) but great suction) then I vacuumed again the next day (so all dust settles as my cheap one is not hepa) with this new Bissell, there was dirt collected. I wouldn't say a huge amount 1\4 of bin, but enough to convince me that this Bissell does a great job picking up. HEPA filter works fantastic. There was zero dust particles in the air and especially on the front. That's the best indicator, if there is dust particles on the front that means it's not working very well. Lift off carry bin.. When looking for vacuums I was not originally interested in the lift off bin. But now using it, I love it. It's sort of heavy for this 60-year-old male. But not unmanageable. The only thing I dislike and prevents it actually being great is the tools which I will give reason in the cons. Hardwood; One of the main reasons I bought this is because I have both carpet and hardwood. My last vacuum did a horrible job on hardwood as they would spit everything out the back. This Bissell does a fantastic job. I love the idea that you can turn the roller off. Plus that little rubber thing underneath preventing any spit back. It works incredibly well and I can just feel my hardwood floors cleaner walking barefoot on them. Plus you have the option of turning the roller on just to give your hardwood floors a little scrubbing LOL. This is a pro because I was concerned and it worked out great for me. The fact that there is no height adjustment was an issue I thought would be a hassle. My last vacuum has no height adjustment and I constantly have to fight it over the rug. But I took a chance with the Bissell. Seeing videos helped. It actually somehow works great. It's just at the right height. I also think the adjustment for low carpet or plush helps a lot. I have high carpet in my bedroom and it had no problem going over it. The only slight little issue which isn't really an issue is that for some reason on my low carpet if you go against the grain it kind of pulls, just a tiny little fight. But again nothing like I was concerned about. As a 60-year-old I don't want to have to fight with my carpet LOL. CONS: So far I only see 1 con and I'm hoping that it can be mitigated if Bissill has alternatives; The tools. I really do not like the dusting, crevice tool. The combination seems like it would be a benefit but for me it's just a hassle because the dustering part is cheap. Too thin (width) and I don't like the length. The crevice tool is fine on its own. And I really do not like that you have to detach the hand extension to use the tools for short jobs. The hand extension is not adjustable so it is really bad for doing jobs close up. Like cleaning your dryer lint compartment; Impossible. So I have to detach the hose just to use this tool. So all in all fantastic and four stars with only a deduction of one because of the tools. if Bissell has alternatives for this machine then a total five stars.

I don't have pets but I finally wanted a "real vacuum cleaner" and after about an hour of research I decided on this Bissell. There were a lot of reviews about the cable getting stuck underneath the vacuum and it seems to me they sort of fixed that: There are areas up top where you can clip the cable and have it be out of the way. The power cord seems fine to me but I live in a small apartment. I was curious though if I did want to get a power cord, and Rufus gave some good affordable power cords that people with a bigger home might want and then the problem of not the longest cord is solved. It was super easy to assemble and very intuitive to use. I have a mop and a stick vac and am clean, or so I had thought. I filled the dust container in a half hour, it really cleans deeply! Oh, and there were some comments about the bare floor vacuuming without the brush setting not vacuuming as well as the brush setting; I learned that I can use the vacuum with the carpet brush setting on my bare floors and bathroom and that worked well. Comments about dust flying if you do that is solved by cleaning your dust container if you have lots of dog hair or other things that could end up falling out somehow. Speaking of hair, my long hair is everywhere and I usually have to cut the hair out of any vacuum I use. I couldn't believe it, not one single hair was caught inside the brush after vacuuming my whole place! This Bissell is a keeper!

I had a Bissell for about 5 years that stopped working. I guess maybe it was a clogged brush roller or broken belt. I did a ton of research on a new vacuum cleaner. As usual, there are always mixed reviews. I decided on this one because of the pet hair issue. We have 3 cats and the amount of hair that needs to be vacuumed is ridiculous. We recently had the carpet removed from the stairs, which was always difficult to clean. Today was the first use of this vacuum cleaner, and let me tell you, it's a great cleaner! Easy to assemble, much lighter than the previous one, suction is phenomenal, and so easy to use. I forgot it was a swivel type, and although I wasn't looking for that feature, it really is helpful. I like the power switch being close to the top, and the ability to turn off the roller is great for cleaning area rugs that can get sucked up. It even sucked up a cat toy by accident and was very easy to remove. I have a bad back, but this is very easy to use without any pain. The light definitely helps a lot too. I can't believe how much of a difference it made after just one use! The canister was full after just doing 2 rooms! Cleaning the machine is a breeze. Everything swirls around the center of the canister, and just falls out into the trash bag without having to pull it out like my last one. The cord rewinder would have been a nice feature, but that's about the only thing missing on this. Oh and the pet hair attachment is way more powerful than the previous one. Easy to clean that, too. Plus the HEPA filter is a definite necessity. All in all, I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner for everyone! Good job, Bissell!

I had my "cheapest we could find" vacuum which still works after 7 years but it's time to upgrade as I noticed it doesn't clean the carpet so good. For comparison, I vacuumed a little bit with both vacuums and there's an obvious difference in how much it pickes up. So what I LOVED MOST about this vacuum is that the suction power is great, cleaning path is 13 inches, which is wide. I love that it's swivel,let's you manuver so comfortable around things. Cord length is longer than I had so for me it's an improvement,I no longer have to switch the outlets. Noise level is about the same for my both vacuums so I didn't notice big difference, but it's a vacuum, I don't expect silent mode)) You can turn the brush off so it doesn't rotate on the floor,which is cool. You can adjust suction for "plush carpet " or "low carpet". Also, Tangle free brush...well, let's be honest it's not completely free of hair but hell yes,there's tremendous difference how it was on my old vacuum...sometimes I had to clean the hair 2-3 times just to clean one room cuz there's 3 girls with long hair in the house. So don't expect it totally free of hair but it's pretty close to it and it's easy to clean. I love the lights...very helpful when small particles jumping around the brush so I know I need to give ot another pass. Normally, I wouldn't see it cuz I have bad eyes plus astigmatism so in bad lighting conditions I don't see good. Anti allergen filtration system is also important to my family as we are all allergic to dust. My air purifier usually indicates raise in air contamination when I vacuum...this time NOTHING, so I feel like the system does the job well. What I didn't like that it's pretty heavy...it's subjective but I checked the competitors, they all about the same weight. But it's not really complicating things for my back, even though my lover back is getting hurt often, the wheels move very smooth so the vaccum moves easy. I think it's my main complaint, I wish it was lighter. It has a very cool feature, the cord clip. But while it's super helpful you can see on my photo, just one day of use and it has a lot of marks,which over time will damage the cord...(smth to improve definitely). But overall it's an amazing vacuum, made my carpets clean and fluffy again.

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG- EDITED WITH UPDATE ON JULY 6, 2023: After waiting for them to get back to me by 6/28/2023 (the date they gave me) I ended up calling them again on 6/29/2023 and for some reason I had to go through the issues all over again with a new customer service agent. They again went through ALL the same steps as before; take it to a service place, send it back and they would send me a new one, etc. At this point I told them I would like another model sent as I didn't have any confidence in this model. They agreed to send me another new model that was comparable; they had me look at it on the website while we were on the phone. I told them to send me a return label and I would send this one back and they could send me the new model. They then told me to "dispose of the machine". ??? Didn't they just tell me to send it back a minute ago? this makes me pretty sure they tried to fix the other one I sent back and then resent it to me. So, I got the "NEW" vacuum last Saturday (7/1/2023 - pretty fast since they didn't even call me back like they said they would..) and they sent me a USED machine. It had fingerprints all over it and it was dusty on the bottom part and the hose that came with it was as well. I was disappointment but I was just praying it worked. And of course, the back wheels locked up and the left one didn't want to move at all. At this point I almost wanted to cry, but I just didn't have the energy to call them yet again. I got the WD40 and tried to get the wheel to work. It's not perfect but at least it turns. It was completely locked up before. Hopefully this will work out, but this machine also has a 5 year warranty and I don't even want to jinx things by putting that out in the universe, but I will keep calling them until I get a working machine if I have to. They really won't want to keep hearing from me. Pray for me please. I'm so sick and tired of all this... I bought this in December 2022. Bissell is my go-to brand for vacuums as I've NEVER had issues with them. They've lasted YEARS until someone would physically break a part and we had to replace it. After a couple of months, the wire had frayed and after contacting Bissell they told me they would replace the machine and to throw out the old machine as it's a fire hazard (I did send them pictures as proof). Great. Got the new machine and it's fine. FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS? The machine just stops turning on. The on/off button wasn't clicking and it just was dead. They sent me a return label and I sent the unit back. Keep in mind I had thrown the box out so I had to create a new box in order to send it back. They then sent me "a replacement machine after checking" the one I had sent back. They sent me the second replacement in April. Third times a charm right?? Last Friday (June 23, 2023) the machine died AGAIN. The SAME button issue as before. Now, I don't know if they just tried to fix the button and sent it back or if it's actually a new replacement. I called them and they told me they would have to "look into the problem as it's the third time" I've had "issues with this model". I am now waiting for them to get back to me, but it could take them until Wednesday so I had to go and buy another vacuum in the meantime because my parents are extremely immune compromised so the hepa filter and other features seemed perfect for our situation. I will see what they can do for me, but I cannot recommend this model at all.

The absolute worst part I would say about the vacuum is the fact that the cord doesn’t have an auto rewind button so you have to wrap it back up every use. It also only has 2 settings for how high or low the carpet is, But on shag carpets it barely works on the “plush carpet” option. It gets filled kinda easily but this thing works really good and i have a Siberian husky and 7 ferrets and it cleans up very well. The attachments are very useful but when I put one of them in it cracked the plastic tube. The vacuum does have great pick up speed, it doesn’t take me long to vacuum at all now and with the light on the bottom you can see all the dust and hair that you couldn’t normally see without the light. I am giving it three stars though, because I feel for the price point that it should have a rewind button for the cord and a bigger chamber for everything to go when it gets picked up. The size is good it fits very easily into smaller spaces as well and it’s very easy to assemble. So for the Value for money aspect I’d say there’s definitely pros and there’s definitely some cons but overall it’s a great vacuum and I think it’s worth the money.

Gros problème en Belgique. C'est pas des prises pour la Belgique. J'ai dû le renvoyer malheureusement, pourtant je le veux vraiment.

I'm not someone who usually likes to write about anything and therfore writing a review is not my top list of priorities However I felt I had to take a few minutes to share my experience with the Bissell 2998 Vacuum I absolutely love this vacuum. I'm a long time loyal fan and customer of Bissell This new vacuum that I recently purchased with Amazon is amazing. First a huge thank you to Amazon for making the purchase affordable for customers with their payment plan This vacuum has above all superior suction power. It is not as noisy as my previous vacuums. It maneuvers quite well. Numerous options for the maneuvering. It's pretty much a lightweight vacuum. What I want to point out is that there's LED Lights built in the vacuum at the front I have a degenerative eye condition and I have to say this feature is very important for me and I am very happy with Bissell for having this feature I am totally satisfied with my purchase

Il est super efficace pour les poils d'animaux ! 😍

This is a great machine, but what Amazon does not tell you is that this is an American model and it comes with an American plug. It is not meant to work in Germany.

Why send a UK plug vacume to Australia. Thing blew up.
