The suction is reasonable, not as good as my high school girlfriend mind you…golf ball garden hose type suction. Comes with 2 batteries which is great and the lights on the (head) to see the dirt are great also. I heard stevie wonder doesnt like the lights but I do. So it Sucks to be Stevie. all puns intended.

Bissell PowerClean FurGuard Cordless Vacuum
Highly recommend this product. Has Superior suction power and is lightweight making it easy and effective for cleaning. Comes with two 50 minutes run time batteries which is a bonus allowing me enough time to finish cleaning. The extra attachments also help a lot with hard to reach places and small areas.

Great Cordless Vacuum
It's a great cordless vaccum for the price point. I was shocked what it picked up with a doubled coated fur baby. But the battery doesn't last as long as my previous Dyson as I had to charge my the vaccum after about 3-4 uses. If I charge it after every 2 uses this should be sufficient for a good apartment clean.

At a glance
The Bissell PowerClean FurGuard Cordless Vacuum is a mid-range stick vacuum built for pet owners who need flexible cleaning across carpets, hard floors and upholstery. Its strengths are strong 280W suction, a self-cleaning brush roll, HEPA sealed filtration and two included batteries. It is especially handy for mixed-floor homes and quick handheld jobs. The main limitation is the small 0.4 L bin, which may need frequent emptying in larger homes.
What it’s great for
- Pet hair pickup
- Mixed-floor cleaning
- Quick daily cleaning
- Upholstery cleaning
- Stairs and car interiors
Where it works best
- Pet-friendly homes
- Apartments
- Townhouses
- Mixed-floor households
- Family living areas
Who it’s for
- Pet owners
- Allergy-sensitive households
- Busy families
- Apartment dwellers
- Everyday home cleaners
Things to consider
Its 0.4 L dust bin is smaller than some premium stick vacuums, so it may need more frequent emptying during whole-home cleans.
Pet hair performance score
9/10 - strong fit for pet homes thanks to the 280W motor, self-cleaning brush roll and FurFinder headlight technology.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Well suited to both carpets and hard floors, with added versatility for upholstery and above-floor cleaning.
Portability rating
8/10 - cordless design, removable batteries and handheld conversion make it easy to move around the home and car.
Noise level vs category average
Not specified - no confirmed noise figure provided for direct category comparison.
Allergy friendliness
8/10 - HEPA sealed filtration helps contain fine dust and dander, though bin emptying may still release some dust.
Key benefits
- 280W motor: delivers strong suction for lifting pet hair and everyday dust from carpets, hard floors and upholstery.
- Self-cleaning brush roll: helps reduce hair wrap, making it easier to maintain in pet households.
- FurFinder headlight technology: helps reveal pet hair and dust in low-light areas and along floor edges.
- Removable battery system: supports flexible charging and lets you swap batteries to keep cleaning with less interruption.
- Two included batteries: extends cleaning sessions compared with a single-battery setup.
- Hand vacuum mode: makes it practical for stairs, furniture and car interiors without needing a separate handheld vacuum.
- HEPA Sealed Allergen System: captures and contains fine dust and pet dander to support cleaner indoor air.
- Upright standing design: stores neatly and is convenient to park between cleaning tasks.
Q: Can this Bissell cordless vacuum handle carpets as well as hard floors
A: Yes. The Bissell PowerClean FurGuard is designed for carpets and hard floors, with a 280W motor and a floorhead built for pet hair pickup across mixed surfaces. For heavy deep-clean jobs on lots of carpet, a corded vacuum can still be the better fit.
Q: Do the two batteries let you clean longer without waiting
A: Yes. Two removable batteries are included, so one can be swapped in when the other runs flat and cleaning can continue with less downtime. Each battery takes three hours to charge, so it suits planned whole-home cleans better than a single-battery setup.
Q: Is the 0.4L bin big enough for whole-home cleaning
A: It is fine for everyday runs, but a 0.4L bin is on the smaller side for larger homes or heavy shedding pets. Expect to empty it more often on big cleans, especially if you are lifting fur from carpet, upholstery and stairs in one session.
Q: Will pet hair still wrap around the brush roll
A: No, not in the way a standard brush roll often does. The self-cleaning brush roll is designed to help reduce hair wrap, which cuts down maintenance in pet homes, but it does not mean the vacuum never needs checking after heavy fur pickup.
Q: Does the HEPA sealed system help contain fine pet dust
A: Yes. The Bissell PowerClean FurGuard uses a HEPA sealed filtration system to capture and contain fine dust and dander inside the vacuum. Because it is bagless, some dust can still be released when the 0.4L bin is emptied.
Q: How useful is the hand vacuum mode for stairs and cars
A: It converts to a hand vacuum, so it is suited to stairs, furniture and car interiors where a full stick vacuum feels awkward. That makes it better for quick detail cleaning, but the 0.4L bin can fill faster when tackling very dirty upholstery.
Q: Can the vacuum stand upright on its own between cleans
A: Yes. This model is designed to stand upright on its own, so it is easier to park between rooms without leaning it on a wall. That is convenient for quick clean-ups, but it does not change the need to charge the removable batteries separately.
