Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Review

Overall, I would recommend the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser handheld to users who have ‘problem areas’ in their home that get dirty frequently. Bissell offers a 30 day return policy window if you find that the Pet Hair Eraser handheld is just not right for you. Depending on how much you use this handheld vacuum will really be the deciding factor as to whether or not you need to replace parts sooner or later. The power button is conveniently located at the tip of the handle, making it easier to turn on and off while in use. Located on the side of the unit, the vents on this Bissell vacuum had a tendency to blow debris away from the path of cleaning. Compared to most handheld units, this vacuum’s handle is an open-ended arc, making it very easy to pick up this vacuum from any angle.

If you’re looking to clean with more of a specific style, then you will have to insert one of the three tools included. That said, each one simply slides into place and takes no more than a few seconds to pop in. All other debris types were cleaned to levels of 90% or higher, with the vacuum receiving another 100%. There are two other versions of the Pet Hair Eraser on the market, the corded model and the alternate cordless version with the same name. Neither of the alternate models have the same functionality or battery life of this version, however, and are not as highly rated.

Also, using the crevice tool provides me with enough of a reach that I can clean most surfaces while I am seated safely in my wheelchair. Keeping your home neat and tidy is always high up there on the to-do list. Whether it’s a daily or weekly schedule, it takes time and some major planning.

The nozzle of the vacuum contains a slot for the included cleaning tools to attach for a quick change of cleaning. The back side off the vacuum contains a small hole and charging pin, which is where the charger is plugged in. The Bissell FAQ page says that the Pet Hair Eraser lasts for 17 consecutive minutes. I got just over 18 minutes, but others boast up to 30 minutes of battery life, depending on how taxing the vacuuming is. However, because this handheld vacuum is better for spot cleaning, you probably won’t be using it for the entire length of its battery life in one sitting. I cleaned the bottom of my cat tree in less than a minute, even switching between attachments.

We live with two pets—a cat and a dog—so if we take a break from cleaning, our house quickly resembles the wild west, complete with tumbleweeds made of pet hair. I’ve been cleaning my home with the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser for a year bissell handheld vacuum now, and it’s still the tool I reach for on a weekly basis. The battery power remains consistent, and though the motorized brush attachment has accumulated some hair buildup, I haven’t noticed any weakening in the suction power.

When you support small, locally-owned businesses, you’re helping to generate economic activity, contribute to the tax base, and support the local economy. Local businesses are significant creators of jobs and they’re also more likely to hire people who live locally, as opposed to relying on people commuting long distances. The money you spend at a local business is likely to stay in the community. Overall, the Bissell Cordless Hand Vacuum is an excellent cleaning tool to have at your disposal, especially if you have pets and accident-prone kids. Only weighing in at 3 pounds, the Pet Hair Eraser is light enough for most people to carry around.

It’s also bagless—when you turn the vacuum on, it sucks dirt and hair up into a clear collection chamber (so you can see exactly how much hair your fur baby has left behind for you). The Pet Hair Eraser uses a three-layered filter that you can wash and reuse to keep suction power going strong. The price is a bit much, but the vacuum is backed by a two-year limited warranty and exceptional customer service. When you’re cleaning your car, you don’t want the vacuum to die on you. So, to test out the battery life of the Bissell 1985 Vacuum, I cleaned my Prius and a friend’s minivan. You can then charge the battery for an hour for a short cleaning session or four hours to get it back to full juice.

The slender design, powerful suction, and pet hair eliminating benefits create a handheld vacuum that most users could appreciate. The high pile carpet testing was another successful series for the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser cordless handheld. The lowest level of debris cleaned up came from sugar, which landed at 89%.

There are only 3 small buttons and all are readily accessible on the face of the unit. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser handheld vacuum comes in as a lighter unit, weighing only 5 pounds. This vacuum comes equipped with both a soft and hard nozzle, allowing users to clean multiple surface types. What I like most about the Bissell Cordless Hand Vacuum is that my 5-year-old, Bucky, can use it. The vacuum only weighs about 3.25 pounds so it’s easy for him to hold.
