Features and Benefits
The Bissell CleanView doesn’t require disposable bags. It collects all the dirt and dust in a clear plastic bin on the front of the machine that makes it easy to see when it’s time to empty it. The unit offers a dust bin that opens on the bottom, so you can hold it over a waste bin, press a button, and the dirt and debris will drop into the trash. It’s easy and makes less of a mess than changing disposable bags, or turning the dustbin upside-down to empty it.
When considering the purchase prices of various models when shopping for a vacuum, it’s important to remember that disposable bags and filter are an ongoing expense for the life of the vacuum. Vacuums like the Bissell CleanView are very competitively priced, but they also save hundreds of dollars in maintenance costs with their bagless dust containers and washable filters.
The Bissell CleanView has a variable setting for any type of flooring. This setting places the spinning beater brush higher or lower above the carpet or other flooring surface in order to get the best results. The Bissell conveniently allows you to adjust this setting on the fly while the unit is running, another timesaver.
Instead of the typical wand and brush that other brands offer for cleaning upholstery and other non-floor surfaces, the Bissell comes with a TurboBrush attachment. This tool is like a miniature version of the roller brush and suction arrangement on the bottom of the vacuum, and it can get your cushions cleaner than suction alone.
