BISSELL® PowerEase® 2253 Swivel Rewind Pet Vacuum in Blue

I previously owned one of these that I thought was great but this one not so much. Up setting it up unnoticed that one of the attachments was missing(no biggie because I have plenty) however it let me know I may have received a used machine. It worked great the first day I got it. The very next day I went to use it and it stopped sucking up things on the ground and started rolling over everything without picking any of it up. I have to use the hose to vacuum my entire apartment which is 85 % carpet. I will be returning this vacuum.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every time I use this it smokes and the belt burns. I have only had it for a year and we have gone through three belts and have to take it apart after every vacuum to remove dog hair from under the belt.

Initially, I liked this vacuum. We have a large hard wood surface downstairs & some carpet on our second floor. It did a decent job. However, not even a year in & we're on our 3rd or 4th belt replacement. We just replaced the belt last week. I was vacuuming this morning &, all of a sudden, there was a terrible burning smell. Of course, another belt broke. Needless to say, I'm pretty displeased @ this point.

I had another Bissell rewind that I absolutely loved but the start switch broke on it and could not be repaired. I vowed to never have another vacuum without auto rewind so I purchased this one as a replacement. I now have a Frenchie and I thought this would help with picking up dog hair. I think my dog's hair is too short and fine for this vacuum to pick up. And my biggest disappointment was that the rewind switch is on the left side which is great if you're left handed but I'm not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum works 10x better, for pet hair removal, than any Dyson we owned.

Works well. Lots of attachments. Not sure how well all of them work, wish they had found the best and made room for them ON the vacuum instead of needing extra storage.

Loving this vacuum so far! Got up more cat hair than I have in a long time with my old vacuum. It's easy to maneuver. Like having the retractable cord. Plenty of helpful attachments. It picks up stray litter without scattering it around. Comes with plenty of helpful attachments. And it looks nice...love the blue!

I can’t stop talking about this vacuum. It is AMAZING. The first time I used it I emptied it 3 times. I have a large shedding dog and it picks up tons of hair. The tools are fantastic to help pick up hair on the stairs, bed, and sofa. This is a must buy for any dog owners. I hate vacuuming, but not with this one!
