Here's everything you need to know about the PowerClean FurFinder so you can decide if it's the best BISSELL pet hair vacuum for you, your home and your furry companions (plus, check out a few other pet hair vacuums from the brand's collection).
Bissell
Style: Stick | Weight: 7.1 pounds | Runtime: 40 minutes (when used as a handheld, on low) | Charge time: Under 3 hours | Dustbin capacity: 0.4 liters | HEPA filter: Yes | Pet-specific attachments: FurFinder upholstery tool
The 200-watt PowerClean FurFinder provides strong suction across a range of surfaces, including hard floors, stairs and carpets. Its slender build and swiveling head allow you to easily guide it into hard-to-reach spaces, while a tangle-free brush roll helps prevent stubborn hair wraps and clogs—ensuring the vacuum stays cleaner longer. Remove the foot to make it a high-reach cleaner, remove the wand to transition to a handheld or use the integrated brush and crevice tool to tackle tighter nooks and crannies.
This powerful attachment is designed to remove stubborn pet hair that is deeply caught in upholstered furniture like couches and armchairs. The head has strong bristles and a de-furring strip built into the front lip, which helps to lift and loosen pet hair from your dog or cat's favorite nesting spots around the house. When not in use, this attachment clicks into the top of the charging station for easy storage.
Both the main vacuum foot and the FurFinder upholstery tool are equipped with high- and low-beam headlights that illuminate pet hair, dust, dirt and hard-to-see litter your cat may be tracking around the house. These lights help brighten dim corners while spotlighting areas you may have missed or that need more attention.
Unlike many other stick vacuums that need to be propped against corners or ledges when un-docked and not in use, the PowerClean FurFinder can stand on its own. Click it into the 90-degree upright position on any flat surface whenever you need to move furniture around or take a break while you're cleaning (the brand just cautions that you should not leave the machine totally unattended).
The PowerClean FurFinder ships free (BISSELL offers complimentary shipping on all orders over $75), and if you decide to return the vacuum, the brand allows refunds up to 30 days from delivery as long as it's returned in the original packaging.
Bissell
Style: Stick | Weight: 7 pounds | Runtime: Up to 50 minutes (in low mode) | Charge time: 4 hours | Dustbin capacity: 0.4 liters | HEPA filter: No | Pet-specific attachments: TurboBrush tool
This vacuum can run at low, high and turbo boost modes, depending on the level of mess you're looking to tackle (note that battery life is significantly longer on low mode). Both the crevice/dusting tool and TurboBrush (included) are equipped with LED lights to better spot pet hair and other debris, and can be stored on the wall-mounted charging station. A tangle-free brush roll helps resist hair wrap, and when you need to step away from the vacuum, a parking brake feature allows you to securely lean it against a wall until you return.
Bissell
Style: Corded upright | Weight: 15.5 pounds | Runtime: N/A (corded) | Charge time: N/A (corded) | Dustbin capacity: 1 liter | HEPA filter: Yes | Pet-specific attachments: TurboBrush Pivot Pet Tool
With an 11.75-inch cleaning path, a spacious 1-liter dirt tank and a swiveling LED-lit head, this robust vacuum is designed to make quick work of large spaces where pet hair may be abundant. A 27-foot power cord allows you to move around freely without having to frequently change plugs, while a detachable Lift-Off pod with an 8-foot hose makes the machine more portable so you can tackle shelves, mantels and other harder-to-reach spots. Plus, the HEPA Sealed Allergen System captures dust allergens and traps them in an airtight container so they're not lingering in your home.
Bissell
Style: Handheld | Weight: 3 pounds | Runtime: Up to 17 minutes | Charge time: 8 hours | Dustbin capacity: 0.7 liters | HEPA filter: No | Pet-specific attachments: Upholstery tool, crevice tool
This compact option—Forbes Vetted's pick for the best budget cordless vacuum for pet hair—comes with three heads to accommodate a variety of surfaces, from the seats of your car to your living room carpet. A motorized brush tool provides added suction power for a deeper clean, a crevice tool reaches between cushions and into narrow spaces and an upholstery tool with a felt rim helps snag stubborn hair from furniture. At just 3 pounds, the Pet Hair Eraser is lightweight and easy to transport, and its 0.7-liter tank means less frequent emptying.
Equipped with a 200-watt engine, a slim cordless design and headlights that illuminate hair, cat litter and other pet-related debris, BISSELL's new PowerClean FurFinder is a convenient, top-of-the-line option for thoroughly cleaning your home. If you're looking for a corded option so you don't have to worry about run time, the Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Lift-Off Vacuum offers a lengthy 27-foot cord and a wide cleaning path. For a nimble, budget-friendly handheld option, the Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Pet Vacuum may be your best bet.
