MultiClean Allergen Lift-Off Pet Vacuum with HEPA Sealed System, Detachable Canister for Stairs & Upholstery, LED Headlights, Tangle-Free Brush Roll, 2998

We used a Bissell pet specific model of vacuum for the longest time until it died recently so we needed a new one. This one was our selection and it has been working rather well. It's powerful, easy to empty, and it has a lot of versatility in terms of its function given you can detach it from the body part. Setup was easy as you get all the main pieces and you just need to attach them together following the guide. It's also nice in the sense you see how that detachment piece functions so you're doing less guesswork when you want to utilize it. The detachment part is my favorite element as you can carry it up stairs more easily without a giant vacuum head piece banging around. In general it's a good vacuum that is a reasonable size, powerful suction, and easy to clean. I would recommend if you're in the market for a nice vacuum.

Just got my new Bissell 2998 yesterday and it’s already been used four times. It is light enough to lift from the box and assemble without instructions but I referred to them anyway. I like the way it all connects with a twist & lock or just a click without needing to refer to highly technical schematics. This is my third new vacuum in six years. Both prior vacuums, a Shark Liftaway and Bissell ClearView, still operate very well but my back and shoulders couldn’t take it any more. The ClearView is significantly more difficult for me to push, and the Shark is awkward. The new 2998 has fantastic suction and for some reason, I suspect it’s the closed HEPA filtration unit, it’s not pulling at my w-2-w carpet up the way the Shark did. Yet it’s powerfully extracting the finest dust particles! I’m just blown away by the power, quality, versatility, and most of all ease of cleaning. It came with an attachment for high dusting or hard to reach corners and the other for upholstery. I wish I had a before picture to share of my ottoman but I literally brought the original color back after two passes using the upholstery attachment. I also like that I can use the rollers or not and adjust for bare floors without having to bend or reach for the switch. The unit is more compact than most vacuums although it’s certainly weighty enough and it’s not made with cheap plastic. It’s actually a pretty appliance if you can believe it. I don’t know after so many months of searching, googling, using AI resources and finally the one embedded in the Amazon app - which I love! - I’m just so thrilled to finally have something to use that doesn’t make me feel my age. My back didn’t hurt once! I nearly selected a Eureka model for about $90 less, and for $200 more I could have the Shark Stratos that was in my cart for four days before finally finding this one. I made the right choice. Highly recommended!

After multiple attachment replacements on my Dyson Animal DC07, I decided to try another brand. I researched a lot of lift-off style models and chose the Bissell 2998. I have two short-hair cats that I didn’t think shed a tremendous amount (ha!), but they seem to fling litter everywhere they go. After six weeks with this thing, I’m still amazed at how full the tank is after each use. PROS: - It does a fantastic job cleaning carpets! It has amazing suction power. - I love the convenience and portability of the lift off tank. Good-bye to lugging around the whole unit. - The brush attachment is amazing for cleaning carpeted stairs. On its first use, it pulled a shocking amount of cat litter out of the steps. - The headlights are bright and well placed. They’re more effective than I expected. - The swivel style is very maneuverable and helps reach difficult places. CONS: - It’s almost worthless on bare floors when the brush is turned off. It hardly picks up anything at all. Most of my house is carpeted, so it’s not a huge deal breaker for me. - The cord is shorter than the Dyson, so I have to move the plug frequently when going from room to room. - And, since the cord is attached to the tank it comes out near the bottom of the unit when used in the upright position. In order to avoid running over it, I end up holding it in the hand that grips the handle which shortens the length even more. - I wish it had a release button a the top of the tank like the Dyson for a cleaner way to empty the debris.

I don't have pets but I finally wanted a "real vacuum cleaner" and after about an hour of research I decided on this Bissell. There were a lot of reviews about the cable getting stuck underneath the vacuum and it seems to me they sort of fixed that: There are areas up top where you can clip the cable and have it be out of the way. The power cord seems fine to me but I live in a small apartment. I was curious though if I did want to get a power cord, and Rufus gave some good affordable power cords that people with a bigger home might want and then the problem of not the longest cord is solved. It was super easy to assemble and very intuitive to use. I have a mop and a stick vac and am clean, or so I had thought. I filled the dust container in a half hour, it really cleans deeply! Oh, and there were some comments about the bare floor vacuuming without the brush setting not vacuuming as well as the brush setting; I learned that I can use the vacuum with the carpet brush setting on my bare floors and bathroom and that worked well. Comments about dust flying if you do that is solved by cleaning your dust container if you have lots of dog hair or other things that could end up falling out somehow. Speaking of hair, my long hair is everywhere and I usually have to cut the hair out of any vacuum I use. I couldn't believe it, not one single hair was caught inside the brush after vacuuming my whole place! This Bissell is a keeper!

I had a Bissell for about 5 years that stopped working. I guess maybe it was a clogged brush roller or broken belt. I did a ton of research on a new vacuum cleaner. As usual, there are always mixed reviews. I decided on this one because of the pet hair issue. We have 3 cats and the amount of hair that needs to be vacuumed is ridiculous. We recently had the carpet removed from the stairs, which was always difficult to clean. Today was the first use of this vacuum cleaner, and let me tell you, it's a great cleaner! Easy to assemble, much lighter than the previous one, suction is phenomenal, and so easy to use. I forgot it was a swivel type, and although I wasn't looking for that feature, it really is helpful. I like the power switch being close to the top, and the ability to turn off the roller is great for cleaning area rugs that can get sucked up. It even sucked up a cat toy by accident and was very easy to remove. I have a bad back, but this is very easy to use without any pain. The light definitely helps a lot too. I can't believe how much of a difference it made after just one use! The canister was full after just doing 2 rooms! Cleaning the machine is a breeze. Everything swirls around the center of the canister, and just falls out into the trash bag without having to pull it out like my last one. The cord rewinder would have been a nice feature, but that's about the only thing missing on this. Oh and the pet hair attachment is way more powerful than the previous one. Easy to clean that, too. Plus the HEPA filter is a definite necessity. All in all, I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner for everyone! Good job, Bissell!

I had my "cheapest we could find" vacuum which still works after 7 years but it's time to upgrade as I noticed it doesn't clean the carpet so good. For comparison, I vacuumed a little bit with both vacuums and there's an obvious difference in how much it pickes up. So what I LOVED MOST about this vacuum is that the suction power is great, cleaning path is 13 inches, which is wide. I love that it's swivel,let's you manuver so comfortable around things. Cord length is longer than I had so for me it's an improvement,I no longer have to switch the outlets. Noise level is about the same for my both vacuums so I didn't notice big difference, but it's a vacuum, I don't expect silent mode)) You can turn the brush off so it doesn't rotate on the floor,which is cool. You can adjust suction for "plush carpet " or "low carpet". Also, Tangle free brush...well, let's be honest it's not completely free of hair but hell yes,there's tremendous difference how it was on my old vacuum...sometimes I had to clean the hair 2-3 times just to clean one room cuz there's 3 girls with long hair in the house. So don't expect it totally free of hair but it's pretty close to it and it's easy to clean. I love the lights...very helpful when small particles jumping around the brush so I know I need to give ot another pass. Normally, I wouldn't see it cuz I have bad eyes plus astigmatism so in bad lighting conditions I don't see good. Anti allergen filtration system is also important to my family as we are all allergic to dust. My air purifier usually indicates raise in air contamination when I vacuum...this time NOTHING, so I feel like the system does the job well. What I didn't like that it's pretty heavy...it's subjective but I checked the competitors, they all about the same weight. But it's not really complicating things for my back, even though my lover back is getting hurt often, the wheels move very smooth so the vaccum moves easy. I think it's my main complaint, I wish it was lighter. It has a very cool feature, the cord clip. But while it's super helpful you can see on my photo, just one day of use and it has a lot of marks,which over time will damage the cord...(smth to improve definitely). But overall it's an amazing vacuum, made my carpets clean and fluffy again.

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG- EDITED WITH UPDATE ON JULY 6, 2023: After waiting for them to get back to me by 6/28/2023 (the date they gave me) I ended up calling them again on 6/29/2023 and for some reason I had to go through the issues all over again with a new customer service agent. They again went through ALL the same steps as before; take it to a service place, send it back and they would send me a new one, etc. At this point I told them I would like another model sent as I didn't have any confidence in this model. They agreed to send me another new model that was comparable; they had me look at it on the website while we were on the phone. I told them to send me a return label and I would send this one back and they could send me the new model. They then told me to "dispose of the machine". ??? Didn't they just tell me to send it back a minute ago? this makes me pretty sure they tried to fix the other one I sent back and then resent it to me. So, I got the "NEW" vacuum last Saturday (7/1/2023 - pretty fast since they didn't even call me back like they said they would..) and they sent me a USED machine. It had fingerprints all over it and it was dusty on the bottom part and the hose that came with it was as well. I was disappointment but I was just praying it worked. And of course, the back wheels locked up and the left one didn't want to move at all. At this point I almost wanted to cry, but I just didn't have the energy to call them yet again. I got the WD40 and tried to get the wheel to work. It's not perfect but at least it turns. It was completely locked up before. Hopefully this will work out, but this machine also has a 5 year warranty and I don't even want to jinx things by putting that out in the universe, but I will keep calling them until I get a working machine if I have to. They really won't want to keep hearing from me. Pray for me please. I'm so sick and tired of all this... I bought this in December 2022. Bissell is my go-to brand for vacuums as I've NEVER had issues with them. They've lasted YEARS until someone would physically break a part and we had to replace it. After a couple of months, the wire had frayed and after contacting Bissell they told me they would replace the machine and to throw out the old machine as it's a fire hazard (I did send them pictures as proof). Great. Got the new machine and it's fine. FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS? The machine just stops turning on. The on/off button wasn't clicking and it just was dead. They sent me a return label and I sent the unit back. Keep in mind I had thrown the box out so I had to create a new box in order to send it back. They then sent me "a replacement machine after checking" the one I had sent back. They sent me the second replacement in April. Third times a charm right?? Last Friday (June 23, 2023) the machine died AGAIN. The SAME button issue as before. Now, I don't know if they just tried to fix the button and sent it back or if it's actually a new replacement. I called them and they told me they would have to "look into the problem as it's the third time" I've had "issues with this model". I am now waiting for them to get back to me, but it could take them until Wednesday so I had to go and buy another vacuum in the meantime because my parents are extremely immune compromised so the hepa filter and other features seemed perfect for our situation. I will see what they can do for me, but I cannot recommend this model at all.

Purchased December of 2023. Worked well. Motor went out April of 2026. Did not last long at all. I do not have pets, I just liked the attachments. Small house of 1. I did not get my money's worth. So, I ordered a new Bissell but went cheap because these vacuums do not last. So, I won't spend the extra dollar on an expensive Bissell. Just going cheap because I know realize they have to be replaced regularly.

Gros problème en Belgique. C'est pas des prises pour la Belgique. J'ai dû le renvoyer malheureusement, pourtant je le veux vraiment.

I'm not someone who usually likes to write about anything and therfore writing a review is not my top list of priorities However I felt I had to take a few minutes to share my experience with the Bissell 2998 Vacuum I absolutely love this vacuum. I'm a long time loyal fan and customer of Bissell This new vacuum that I recently purchased with Amazon is amazing. First a huge thank you to Amazon for making the purchase affordable for customers with their payment plan This vacuum has above all superior suction power. It is not as noisy as my previous vacuums. It maneuvers quite well. Numerous options for the maneuvering. It's pretty much a lightweight vacuum. What I want to point out is that there's LED Lights built in the vacuum at the front I have a degenerative eye condition and I have to say this feature is very important for me and I am very happy with Bissell for having this feature I am totally satisfied with my purchase

Il est super efficace pour les poils d'animaux ! 😍

This is a great machine, but what Amazon does not tell you is that this is an American model and it comes with an American plug. It is not meant to work in Germany.

Why send a UK plug vacume to Australia. Thing blew up.
