Q: Technically, how does the "Eraser" upright suction compare to Dyson and Shark? Please be specific. Please use a common comparable medium such as half full or 90 percent full. "Empty" or "new" would not be helpful. Thank you.

A: I have owned both the Dyson Animal and the Bissell and found the suction to be equal to the Dyson. It does not lose suction even when it is 3/4 full. I have a smaller Shark unit so I don't think that would be a fair comparison. I also have a Kirby that can suck the chrome off a bumper as long as the bag isn't more than half full. The Eraser has a few feature I like including not clogging, easy empty canister (I haven't had to dig anything thing out) and the brush roller that doesn't get string or hair wrapped around it. I don't know how it does that but that has been a problem with every vacuum I've owned.

Q: How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.

A: I haven't tried the two vacuums that you mentioned, but I can say that I was surprised that this vacuum wasn't terribly loud. Given it's size and the number of vents coming out of it, I expected it to be deafening. Upon turning it on, I was surprised by just how mild the sound was. It'll definitely drown out a television or radio some, but you'll still be able to hear people talking over it.

Q: How is it with Human Long Hair? How is it with dirt? How is it with long hair dog hair?

A: I have longer than shoulder length hair, and it is everywhere. I have had no problems with it getting wrapped around the brush. Its magic I guess.

Q: Does this unit have an off/on switch for the roller bar? Bissell's website says yes, but Best Buy & Lowes websites say no.

A: Yes, I can attest to the fact that it does have an ON/OFF switch for the brush roller, so Bissell's website is correct

Q: Does this vacuum have a filter that needs to be cleaned?

A: It does have a washable and replaceable filter in the removable canister.

Q: I have a dog that sheds a great deal. The hoses on previous vacuums have clogged and unclogging them has been very difficult. I'm disabled and need to know how this vacuum performs in this regard.

A: I have a 2 year old St. Bernard mix who was shedding like crazy with our crazy weather change over the past month. I purchased this vacuum and absolutely love it. It picks up the dog hair on hardwoods and the carpet very well. I also use the tools for her dog crate and the couch. I have not had any issues with the hose clogging up at all. I would recommend this vacuum for sure.

Q: Do I have to use the febreeze odor eliminator

A: No, there is a non-Febreeze filter that is also included in the packaging. The Febreeze filter does put out an fresh scent when you vacuum, but if you have any chemical sensitivity you probably want to avoid using it.

Q: How heavy is it?

A: Very mobile / easy to push, but a little heavy to pick up., but works great

High performance vacuum for pet owners
I have two Alaskan Malamutes at home, which means hair everywhere in the house... I have gone through quite a number of vacuums looking for the one that could provide not only well balanced performance on carpet, hard wood and tile floors but could also handle troublesome pet hair. I have tested several vacuums over the past two years (Hoover, Shark, Bissell, Dyson) and have found this to be the best performing upright vacuum at an affordable price point (I was able to get this on sale for $175 which made it a much more attractive option than spending $300+ on a Dyson/premium vacuums). The anti-tangle roller is amazing and the cyclonic action bagless canister makes clean up a simple task. The additional cleaning attachments, swivel steering and Febreze SmartSeal features are a bonus. If you have pets, this is an absolute must need for your house.

Keeps up with 6 cats and a black Lab.
Our household has six cats and a black lab, so I was very excited to try out this new vacuum. We have a mix of carpet and hardwood floors and our main vacuum has been a Kenmore canister vacuum. We go through a lot of bags with it because of all the hair, so I was very interested to see how well a bagless worked. Overall, I was pretty impressed. After doing the whole house and emptying the canister 3 or 4 times, there was still zero hair tangled in the roller. The canister was easy to empty, as advertised. It did a great job cleaning up hair, litter, and every little visible speck of debris. Best of all, the hand vacuum attachment (TurboEraser) worked surprisingly well on the stairs. I think any pet owner would be pleased with this vacuum. There are a couple of things that are just slightly disappointing, though not deal breakers by any means. One is the noise. It's about the same level of noise as our other vacuums, but I had hoped that being a design targeted at pet owners they might have somehow made it quieter. However, the first priority is that it works well (which it does), and if it still terrorizes the cats then that's the price we have to pay. The second was the placement of the on/off switches on the body instead of the handle. I understand why they do this, but I still found myself wanting to flip the switch on the handle each time (like my other vacuums). Also, having two switches--one for the main power and one for the floor roller--was a bit of a nuisance. If you push the handle to the upright and locked position it does automatically turn off the roller, however. Everything else about the vacuum I liked. It has a nice, long 30' power cord that's easy to wrap in its brackets on the back. The optional two-tool bracket worked well to hold the crevice tool and TurboEraser. The slightly smaller head and the swivel feature made it so I could easily reach in corners that are more challenging to the larger vacuums. It was also fun to watch the hair build up in the canister "tornado" as I ran over the hairy spots in the carpet. Anything that makes vacuuming a little more entertaining is a plus. I was a little worried that it'd be tippy on the stairs while using the TurboEraser, but the floor roller is narrow enough that I was able to turn the unit sideways on the steps and it was very stable. I was very skeptical that the TurboErase would work since it's only powered by airflow across the little paddle wheel inside. We had another brand of vacuum with that design and it was useless. In this case, however, it worked extremely well and really scrubbed at the carpet. I guess they aren't kidding by calling it "turbo" because it really does add a high-pitched, extra noise while it's working. Good for cleaning, not so good for cat ears (but they got over it). One final thing I noticed is that you really do need to set it to the correct carpet height setting. At first, I had it on the default setting and thought "what a dumb vacuum--it's not picking up anything on the rug." Then my wife pointed out I should try the lower setting and, sure enough, it worked perfectly after that. The only problem later was cleaning the few small rugs we have around on the hardwood floors. The suction works so well, I had to keep one foot somewhere on the rug while I was vacuuming to keep it from sliding around. This isn't a problem with our Kenmore canister, but then it also doesn't clean the rugs as thoroughly. So, I will happily switch to using this for all of our regular vacuuming of pet areas and I think it'll be a good investment. Now if only Bissell would come out with a "Dog Drool Eraser(tm)" for the carpets.
