Much better than I expected,
I would give it a 4.5 if I was allowed, because it doesn’t do much on low-pile carpet, but it’s a bare floor cleaner, so I won’t ding it an entire star. It does exactly what it is made for.
I’ll be honest, this vacuum was my husbands idea. I wanted something cordless.
We have new laminate floors, and our old ‘carpet’ vacuum wasn’t working. It was just kicking dirt back out at us. I have a little cordless sweeper, that is handy for small areas, but it’s just not strong enough for the whole house.
The Versus is.
It is a little awkward to drive, because of the large V shaped front and the swivel body, but once you are used to it. it’s fine.
The thin vacuum head is great for the crumbs that fall under the fridge and the edge of the counter.
The V shaped head sort of pushes everything to the center, where the suction is strongest and no debris is safe from this vacuum.
This is by far the best thing for bare floors I have used. Even better than the micro-fiber duster. Much better than a broom. My only complaint is that it isn’t cordless, but that’s why it’s so powerful.
I highly recomend.

|Review from a Clean-Freak with 2 dogs..,
Okay..let me start by saying that I have 2 (SHEDDING) dogs who have a doggie door to the backyard and are in and out all day long tracking dirt/leaves inside constantly. Let me also say that I have all hardwood floors throughout, and have been called OCD on the cleanliness of my home. Before purchasing the Bissell Versus, I owned 1 standard (HEAVY) upright vac (Dirt Devil), 2 cordless vacs (one being a Shark), and 2 handheld vacs.
Always on a mission to find the perfect vacuum cleaner, I got sucked (pun intended) right into the infomercial on the Bissell Versus. After reading online reviews (some great, some bad), I decided what the heck..I’ll give it a shot. Here is what I found after using it last night for the first time:
1) Hard to find in-stores, but finally found at a local Target on sale for $59. (Yay!)
2) Easy to put together. REALLY easy.
3) Worried about the reviews saying it was hard to maneuver, I found it quite easy (I’m puny)! I didn’t find it to be too “top-heavy” at all. WAY lighter than my normal upright vac, and the “V” head makes vacuuming around tables/chairs/furniture so much easier.
4) Vacuumed all of my dog-hair-tumbleweeds without any problem at all, regardless of how big they were, including some larger leaves that had fallen from my houseplants, and one (LARGE) dead bug that appeared sometime while I was out buying this vacuum. I was also very happy with how much dust it picked up! I personally didn’t have a problem with the expelled air blowing around hair/debris..the vac sucked it right up before it got too far away.
5) The many reviews complaining about how short the cord is, had me worried I’d spend half my time unplugging/replugging. Although it IS shorter than my normal upright vac, it wasn’t AT ALL as bad as some said.
6) Reviews also had me worried about it not getting hair against the floor’s baseboard due to the “V” shape – but I didn’t have any problems at all. I thought I’d need to use the Crevice Tool/Hose to get against the walls, but thankfully found I didn’t even need it (well, just once to get behind the fridge).
7) I LOVE the fact that it is bagless..and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that it doesn’t have a roller underneath to get hair/yarn/fuzz wrapped around! I hated trying to cut/unravel that nastiness from around my upright’s roller. The Versus just has a big hole that everything gets sucked up! The most interaction I had with the underside, was to pull the fur off of the little “squeegee” thingy after I was done vacuuming my whole house..all of 2 seconds.
8) The only CON I could find, was that I tried to use it to vacuum the dog hair off of a couple floor mats, but it just wasn’t doing the job. I’ll still have to use my HEAVY one for that, or one of my handhelds.
So, needless to say..I highly recommend the Bissell Versus. 🙂
