Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum

The Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum is a powerful vacuum cleaner with a light yet powerful cleaning performance. Thanks to its Helix cleaning system, its powerful suction ensures any size of dirt particle is captured. As a result, it works appropriately on different types of surfaces, including staircases, upholsteries, low-pile carpets, and high-pile carpets. In addition, it features a power cord length of 23 feet, which means you can vacuum a large space and cover distances. 

The Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum uses a multi-level filtration system that effectively filters fine dirt particles. This feature ensures your home is hygienically cleaned and every little or large dirt is eliminated, no matter where. In addition, it features a transparent, bagless, and extra-large dirt cup that traps dirt and keeps it trapped until you empty the cup. It also features specialty cleaning tools like the dusting brush, crevice tool, and extension wand for overall excellent cleaning performance.

The Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum facilitates deep cleaning to loosen and eliminate dirt and hair, including humans and pets. Its five height adjustments ensure the machine can efficiently pick up grime that has dug deep into carpets and floors. Furthermore, its high-capacity dirt cup helps you avoid emptying it frequently; dirt remains stored in the cup. Finally, its unique dirt separation system ensures you don't need to wash the vacuum filters too often.

The Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum's cleaning tools help you clean edges, corners, and other hard-to-reach areas. Don't let the three attachments fool you; the vacuum cleaner has a powerful suction that efficiently manages your cleaning tasks quite nicely. In addition, it allows you to easily cover carpets and hard floors, and it comes with a two-year warranty. Plus, the Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum is affordable and lightweight, although it doesn't do well with lifting heavy debris.

The vacuum cleaner is robust and, once out of the box, is relatively easy to set up. However, we recommend having a paper instruction manual, although this doesn't always come with the package. Not to worry, though, since you can always refer to the online user guide to set it up. In the guide, you will find explicit instructions on how to assemble the vacuum cleaner.

For instance, you need to attach the handle to the base and set up the power cord and hose. Apart from screwing the handle to the base, you can easily put the other parts together without any specialized tool. Also, the vacuum features a polarized power cord plug, meaning the plug's blades are unequal in size for hot and neutral ports. That means you can't insert the plug in more than one position; simply reverse the position if the plug doesn't fit.

Pros and Cons

The Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum conveniently picks up pet hair on any surface like a second nature. It will also pick up most large and small debris on multiple surfaces, storing dirt in its good-sized dirt compartment. Its power cord is long, ensuring that reaching and eliminating debris over long distances is convenient. Furthermore, it works as efficiently on low-pile carpets as it does on high-pile carpets, making it a versatile vacuum cleaner.

However, the Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum has no rotating head, making maneuvering around tight spots difficult. Also, it has a short-range and feels cheaply built, which is disappointing because it has a five-level brush roll height adjustment. Another major downside of the Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum is that it has many parts needing regular maintenance. Additionally, the Bissell Powerforce Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum has no brush roll on/off switch, which makes controlling it difficult.
