The Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo 2880W is the ideal rechargeable sweeper for quick clean-ups in any room in your house. It works well on all flooring surfaces, from bare floor to carpet to rugs.
This vacuum was perfect for me for a short time. It picks up pet hair, works well on carpets, rugs, hardwood and linoleum, occasionally needing a second pass, but light, versatile and cordless, so not a chore. I was thinking I had found my perfect every day vacuum, until the left wheel stuck and wouldn't come unstuck. I checked out the reviews online and sure enough this was a common complaint, one of the rubber wheels sticking with no visible cause, unable to unstick it.
I am very disappointed because for the thirty hours (about an hour of which I spent using it) it cleaned like a dream. I was really hoping there might be a tip somewhere on how to unstick the wheel, but from the other reviews I've read, it just sticks and no way to unstick it.
If you do decide to buy the vacuum hoping to get lucky, my only other comment would be that the waste receptacle fills up quickly. It's easy to remove, empty and replace, but I would recommend bringing a small trash can with you as you move to different rooms, so you're not walking back and forth to the trash can every five minutes.

SAME THING happened to us! Had it one day, wheel stuck. Taking back today.
I have owned one for 6 months with no problems of any kind. It is a very handy quick sweep when doing small jobs. Picks up my cat liter from all surfaces, food from kitchen floor and droppings from carpeted areas. The side brushes are not a great and useful thing. But I love the sweeper. It handles even my cat's hair.

I purchased this to use in my bathroom since my cat makes a mess in her cat box and I am constantly cleaning up cat litter in there. It works great for this purpose! The side brushes do not work well if at all but overall, this is an great product. Charge lasts a long time!

After initially charging the sweeper within 30 minutes of use on carpet and floors the left wheel locked up and could not be loosened. Read about this same problem online that others have had. I am returning to the store to try another mfg's sweeper.

Used it on carpet and hard floors and it does a great job of picking up dog hair. The little side brushes are a joke, as others have mentioned...but I really don't care. Overall, quite pleased with the unit and the battery seems to last longer than the SHARK sweeper that this Bissell replaced.

I was looking for something for an easy, quick picker-upper. This more than met my expectations. I love, love it. It's quiet, easy to assemble and picks up great.
For a small sweeper, it tries to pick up my rugs. This is a great sweeper.

The best thing about this sweeper is the battery running time. You have to move the vacuum swiftly to grab the dirt on the floor. I used it only two times and I could not easily move it back and forth so I decided to return it to the store.

This cordless vacuum is Junk! There is no way to stop the rotating brushes on bare floors, so the machine pitches everything behind itself. The suction is poor. I used it twice, thinking maybe there is a trick to operating it, but it did the same thing. It was used for lightweight things like dust and pet hair, on a bare floor. What it did not pitch behind, became wrapped around the brushes, which further blocked the sweeper's ability to vacuum. I give it NO stars!!!!! My little Eureka, that I plug in, cost less than 20 bucks and was a much better product. Looks like I will be getting another Eureka.

Yes, the side brushes don't work the greatest and the back wheels stick but overall it is a great product. Also my long hair wraps around the brush. Spite of that it is just as good as a dust pan and broom.

I just bought this sweeper a few days ago and overall, it works well. It picks up crumbs and cat hair very nicely, but the 2 little side sweepers are driven by a rubber band like belt attached to the rear wheels and due to very poor routing of the belt, it's always slipping off. It's somewhat a pain in the neck to take the unit apart to reattach the belts. It's happened 2x in 3 days, so I may return it and get another brand. It's a shame, because everything else on this sweeper works well, and i like the design of it and the color too.

I'm so pleased with my purchase. Once it's fully charged it's so easy to use. The bin for the dust just lifts out to be emptied and is so much easier than other cordless sweepers I've used.

This is my second Bissell sweeper. I had the first one more than 6 years before he stoped working. This new sweeper is very much the same kind but has a new feature which is little brushes that come out the sides of the sweeper itself to get into corners. Great product for sure I would recommend to everyone looking for a easy cleanup on their floors or carpeting.I am pleased how well it picks up pet fur off the carpets.

I bought 2 of these for my business. The first one stopped working after only 3 days. A broken belt came out of the machine and the 2 side brushes ceased working and one of the wheels froze up. I don't understand it because I had another one of these for about 2 years before it stopped working. I've yet to use the 2nd one I purchased. I'd send the broken one back but becasue I bought it online it would cost more to send it back than it is to simply replace it. Be that as it may, I will probably buy this unit again.
