Replaced a Dyson Ball - Easier to maneuver

It picks up everything including my dog's hair with ease. Replaced and older Dyson Ball. This one is not too light but it's definitely lighter and better than the previous one.

Great features, strong suction
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds weird, but we like to vacuum. We have a lot of different kinds of vacuums and we've used many more than we've kept. The Bissell SurfaceSense has got to be one of the most innovative vacuums I've used. It's advertised as a pet vacuum but it has so many great features that anyone who loves a clean house would enjoy this machine. Overview The controls are easy. You have a button for on/off and another button that will turn off the beater bar entirely. Otherwise the machine will automatically switch from carpet to hard floors. What that involves is the beater bar slowing down considerably. It still rotates, but on hard floors the speed is not needed. Actually, my biggest complaint with a lot of vacuums is that when vacuuming hard floors, the beater bar actually makes crumbs fly around a lot more and it makes them more difficult to pick up. This machine works very well on hard floors with the slower beater bar speed. We have a long hair cat and vacuum every day. The suction is really good and it's able to pick up things from deep in the corners. Also, if you find that your vacuum gets harder to push on deep carpet, there's a suction slide switch right on the handle that lets you increase or decrease the amount of suction. Tools All the included tools fit right on board and none of them get in the way of normal use, cords or hoses. The handle is removable from the canister and allows easy connection of the small brush head, the upholstery cleaner or the crevice tool. The brush tool is basic and small enough to fit into a lot of narrow spots. The upholstery head has a spinning beater bar inside that pulls hair and dander off your furniture. It works really well, and if you find that the suction is too much, you can still use the adjustment switch to back it off. The crevice tool is just cool. It actually has an LED at the end of it to light up what you're vacuuming. The light turns on when the tool is connected to the wand. Very welcome idea and it really does light things up well. Normal Vacuuming This is not the lightest vacuum in the world but it is very maneuverable thanks to the swivel joint under the motor. The rear wheels are a little larger than other vacuums and they're made of rubber. This allows you to push with less effort, it's quiet when rolling and doesn't slide on hard floors. The rollers under the brush head are also rubber. The vacuum has plenty of suction and as I mentioned it also has a switch that allows cutting back on the amount of suction. The brush head is about 12 1/2” wide, so it's not too big to get between and around furniture. The dust cup is easy to remove and empty. The internal section comes out easily as well with just a twist. Reinstalling it on the base is easy as well and I never feel like I have to monkey around with it to get it in just the right spot before it snaps in place. One thing I really like about this machine that seems to be a feature from the past, is the bright LED light strip at the front of the brush head. It illuminates everything in front of it very well and lets you see just what you plan to run over. I don't know why more manufacturers don't think this is a necessity anymore, but we really appreciate it. The cord is nice and long and is made out of a ribbed rubber. It's flexible enough but it's could be more so. However it's a lot more flexible than the cords most brands include. Winding up the cord keeps it tight against the canister. It's nice it doesn't go all the way up to the top of the handle where it could get caught on things. There's also a cord clip that can hold the cord on the top cleat, keeping it in reach. It actually holds the cord tight so that it doesn't slip out. Overall This vacuum has a lot of great features that make it our new favorite. The MultiSense technology makes going from carpet to hard floors easy and automatic. Basic, solid buttons make it easy to operate. I like the way all the parts fit together, and they do so easily, no hunting around for the right spot to connect them. The brush head actually looks like it will allow some disassembly to clean the beater bar. I have a few vacuums that don't offer this feature and it's annoying if you can't get to all the parts to clean them. The tools are great and are actually usable. They're all a perfect size and the crevice tool light is really handy. Lastly, there's an included Fabreeze scented filter that not only helps to keep things clean but makes it smell good while doing it. I totally recommend this vacuum for people with pets that need to keep a handle on pet hair, but it's also a really good vacuum in general whether you have a pet or not.

Q: QuestionWhat is the decibel level?
Asked by Sherry.
- A:Answer Hi Sherry, I can't be specific on the decibels, however, this is a very quiet machine. It doesn't interfere with someone watching television, and my three month old granddaughter never awakened while I ran through her room as she slept during a quick vacuum.
