Review on Bissell Cleanview Deluxe Handheld Vacuum Cleaner 47R51 by Carrie Thompson

Love it! (Bissell 47R51) It's so easy to use, carry, change accessories and deflate. At first I thought the rubber nozzle would be annoying and useless, but it's AMAZING at scraping pet hair off the carpet. I shaved my long haired dachshund in a room with short weave carpet and the wool was matted all over the carpet (stupid oversight on my part I know) but the rubber head was easy to clean. It's beautiful and only took about 5 minutes or so. The side of the HEPA filter that faces the trash can is heavily soiled with dirt and dust (the other side still looks new) and can't be washed, but I just take it out and give it a tap wipe. edge, and blow out the cracks with a can of air and I had no problems. I'm not feeling any loss of suction yet so I probably won't be buying a new filter until this happens and I don't see this becoming an issue with my moderate usage any time soon. There is also a mesh that goes over the filter and this part can be rinsed with water. Decent cable length. The hose barb is handy and can be used as an open ended hose or with one of the other barbs. The handle is a little odd as it faces forward, but the vacuum is light enough to still be easy to maneuver and the design makes it really easy to access the switch. This is probably the best handheld vacuum I've ever owned.
