The Bissell Lift-Off is Recommended For...

For people who can't decide between a canister or an upright, the Bissell Lift-Off could be a great option for you, providing the shape of an upright with the tools and versatility of a canister.

People looking for an upright may love that they can get many features including bagless, triple filtration, and the portable canister for a reasonable price.

Consumers who need to move their vacuum frequently, or need maneuverability around furniture, will enjoy the many options of movement the Bissell Lift-Off provides.

Bottom LIne for the Bissell Lift-Off Vacuum Cleaner

The Bissell Lift-Off's portable canister.

Sarah Aguirre

Buy the Bissell Lift-Off if you like the portable canister/upright idea. If that isn't appealing to you, or you may never even detach it, there are upright vacuum cleaners with similar features and better suction power.

Extra Options for the Bissell Lift-Off

Some of the higher priced models include a bare floor tool, and/or a turbobrush tool. The Lift-Off Plus includes a shoulder strap that can be attached to the lift-off canister, enabling it to be carried around.

we loved it for many years, Member as110

I had my vacuum cleaner for 9 years and I loved it. I see a lot of negative comments and it looks like people either love it or hate it. I think the issue is that if the filter is full the suction will suffer. If the filters are kept clean the suction is very good. The wide brush and suction head made cleaning fast. The canister can get full pretty quickly if the broadloom is not the best quality. Our carpet still sheds after years of living and walking on it which we will have to replace. This is not the Bissell's fault that the carpet is 'cheap'. But emptying the canister is very easy and clean and I love that we don't need to spend money on bags. The only issue I have with it is that it is bulky to carry on the stairs but that's a small price to pay for all the extras and features I used over the years. The canister is light to wear with the shoulder strap though. If your staircase is not covered with rugs this will not be a benefit because you will probably never use it there (I just mop the stairs) but it will come in handy to clean the car. Either way it is a good cleaner. I had others that were heavy, clumsy or had poor suction and all in all this was the best one so far. Otherwise I wouldn't have lasted with it for 9 years. I am giving it to someone else to use because it still works but I got a new one for Christmas and don't need two.
