Bissell CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum
Verdict
The Bissell CleanView Compact is a lightweight, space-saving upright that offers impressive everyday cleaning and pet hair pickup for small homes at a very low cost. Its small dust cup, short cord, and basic filtration make it less suitable for large or highly allergy-sensitive households, but it is a strong budget option for apartments, dorms, and studio spaces.
