Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Review & Giveaway {closed}

I know, I know.  I promised everyone that I would post the BIG review yesterday.  Nothing to say except I had a family emergency this weekend and it duh-rain-ed me…  So, today I did everything I normally would have over the weekend.  Don’t get too angry though, this was well worth the wait!

If you read the title, you already know what the giveaway is.  Yet, you don’t KNOW how great this vacuum is!!  Let’s back up a little first.

I was contacted a couple of weeks ago about reviewing the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum.  I jumped at the possibility.  Although, I wasn’t sure exactly what the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum was.  Sure, I could have looked it up.  I didn’t though.  Why?  Well, first impressions are big deals.  I didn’t want to read about how others loved or hated this vacuum.  I wanted to form my own opinion.  So, to my surprise, this is what showed up at my door!

We have two sweet, old kitties.  Their names are Payson (he’s 11) and Anna Banana (she’s 10).  According to the vet, they are domestic medium haired cats.  To me, their fur is loooonnnngggg!  I mean, when the kitty has to be groomed, I think it’s long.  They were our first “kids”!  Just to add a little gag factor here, Hubs got Payson as a gift for me when we first started dating because my childhood kitty had passed away (yeah, I know…It’s okay to gag a little). Payson is the black and white one, Anna Banana is well, banana colored.

Back to the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser.  It arrived in the box like this.

I put it together in no time at all!  The directions were very simple to follow.  Once it was together, I immediately did a quick house pick up and revved up the vacuum.  It was great!  But, I hadn’t put it to the true test yet.  I vacuumed the upstairs first, then headed to the dungeon of toys and laundry basement.  For some reason our kitties prefer hanging out down there.  Maybe it’s all the toys in the playroom?  Neh, I honestly think they just hide from the kids!

The only words I truly have for the basement vacuuming is ewww.  I clean down there all the time!  I’m pretty type-A about the cleanliness of the basement, so I vacuum down there several times a week.  I COULD NOT believe all the fur, fuzz, hair, dust and ick that came out of the carpet!  Then I took the Turbo Brush attachment and started in on the futon and recliner that are down there.  The Pet Contour attachment was next.  Anna Banana loves to lay along the back of the recliner, so it was especially hairy.  Well, it was hairy.  Not any more!

What I can and will tell you is that the retail on this vacuum very affordable.  It has some super fabulous features!  I love the Pet Contour brush, and the extra pet hair lifter that is attached to the front of the vacuum.  It can be flipped up or down, depending on whether you need to use it!  Love that option!!  I have used it several (about 10 or so) times and it still amazes me with the icky stuff it is picking up!  My basement has never been cleaner and I now feel a LOT better about it!  I would recommend this vacuum!

BISSELL^® Pet Hair Eraser^® Vacuum:

A Vacuum Designed Specifically for Pet Owners

The BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum provides pet owners with superior suction and specially designed brushes and cleaning tools for removing pet hair, pet dander and dirt from carpets, upholstery and more.  The vacuum’s pet-specific tools and technology make it convenient for everyday use.

Features

• Pet Hair Lifter – It works like a lint brush on floors when vacuuming normally. This feature grabs pet hair when you pull back on the vacuum and releases hair and suctions it up when you push forward.
• Pet Contour Tool^® – This innovative tool bends and flexes to pull out dirt and hair from hard to reach areas like stairs and upholstery.
• Pet TurboBrush^® – This tool works like a magnet to attract hair. It is great for beds, stairs and a pet’s favorite spot on the couch.
• HEPA Media Filter – It captures over 99.9 percent of pet dander, dust mites, pollen and ragweed to help create a healthier home environment.

Technology

The Easy Empty^™ dirt container’s clear construction shows when it’s time to empty the container, and it releases easily to pour pet hair, dirt and debris into the trash.  The vacuum’s dual edge cleaning with Surround Suction^® allows consumers to clean hard-to-reach places like around furniture and baseboards where pet hair may gather. Plus, a clean filter indicator monitors air flow and lets consumers know when it is time to clean the filter. The Pet Hair Eraser vacuum also includes an extra-wide 15-inch cleaning path, 35-foot power cord and extra-long hose to give consumers added reach for cleaning larger areas faster.
