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.

Bin & Bag 3.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0
Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 3.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0

On medium carpet it picks up roughly low 80s percent of test sand in one pass, giving acceptable but not standout deep cleaning for budget users.
Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) 2.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.5

In crevice tests it removed roughly a quarter of the sand while mostly clawing at the groove, so performance is clearly behind stronger uprights.
Filtration / Dust Containment 2.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.5

Basic washable filters handle everyday dust, but the lack of HEPA filtration makes it less ideal for people with serious allergy concerns.
Cord length 2.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0

Relatively short cord length works fine in small rooms but requires more frequent outlet changes when cleaning bigger areas.
