Bissell 21R9 Versus Cordless Bare-Floor Vacuum Review

Having a small, cordless vacuum around the house for the little messes that occur each day can be a very convenient thing. The Bissell 21R9 Versus Cordless Bare-Floor Vacuum is a handy device for keeping hard floors clean without getting out the big vacuum. The vacuum can be purchased for $60 from amazon.com

The vacuum has proven to have a good battery life. It lasts for about 20 minutes per charge which is more than enough for me to do my whole kitchen and bathroom. More often, I just use it to clean up a spill or dirty area quickly so the fact that it does not have a cord hasn't been a problem. In fact, I appreciate that I can just grab and use this little vacuum without having to worry about unwrapping the cord and plugging it in.

The bottom of the vacuum is different than many others. It's made in the shape of a V so that the bigger debris gets directed toward the middle. This is useful because that's where the suction is the strongest. There is suction along the entire base to pick up all the particles in its path. The shape also makes it good for corners which can be hard to get with a regular vacuum.

I really like that there is no bag required for the vacuum. It has a small container where it collects all the debris which pops out easily so you can dump it in the garbage. The power switch is big so that you can press it with your foot rather than having to bend over to turn it on and off. The vacuum weighs only a few pounds so it's easy to move around. I can even send my young son to go grab it for me to help me out. It snaps back into the charger easily so that it is always ready to go.

There is no rolling brush in this vacuum which makes it great for picking up hair because there is nowhere for it to get stuck.

Overall, I like this little vacuum because it is easy to use and does a good job cleaning my floors. Even though it does not have a lot of fancy options, it does what it was meant to do well. For the price, it has proven to be an effective and useful tool to have in my house.
