Bissell Releases PowerClean Cordless for Homes with Pets

Bissell has recently expanded its cordless vacuum lineup with two new cordless models, the Bissell PowerClean FurGuard and the Bissell Powerclean FurFinder. Both models are designed to address the cleaning challenges of pet hair in households while differing in specific design elements and performance characteristics.

Key Features and Design

Both models are engineered with a “FurFinder” tool intended to remove up to 95% of embedded pet hair from upholstery in a shorter period compared to some competitive products. They also feature bright headlight technology, which is designed to help reveal pet fur in dim areas. Additionally, each vacuum is cordless and self-standing, comes with a removable battery and wall mount for convenient storage, and is equipped with a HEPA Sealed Allergen System to capture dust, dander, and other allergens.

Differences Between the Two Models

While the overall design of both vacuums is similar, there are a few key differences:

  • Motor Power: The FurGuard model operates with a 280W motor, while the FurFinder uses a 200W motor. The higher power of the 280W version suggests it may provide stronger suction, potentially offering enhanced performance on tougher messes or on a variety of surfaces such as area rugs and hard floors.
  • Brush Roll Technology: The FurGuard model features a self-cleaning brush roll that is designed to automatically remove hair buildup during operation, reducing the likelihood of hair wrap. In contrast, the FurFinder model uses a tangle-free brush roll, which is engineered to minimize hair wrapping. This distinction in brush technology may influence how each vacuum handles continuous use in pet-heavy households.

Conclusion

The new Bissell cordless vacuums offer solutions for pet-related cleaning challenges with features like FurFinder technology, bright headlights, and allergen containment. The primary differences lie in motor power and brush roll design: the 280W model offers a self-cleaning brush roll and potentially stronger suction, while the 200W model features a tangle-free brush roll designed to reduce hair wrap.
