Pet hair doesn't just sit on the carpet; it weaves into the fibers and floats in the air as dander. The BISSELL 39883 is engineered to trap both. By combining powerful suction with a fully sealed allergen system, it ensures that what goes into the vacuum stays in the vacuum.
1. Lift-Off® Technology: Clean Beyond the Floor
The standout feature is the detachable pod.
- Portable Cleaning: With the press of a button, the canister lifts away from the floor nozzle. This allows you to carry the lightweight pod to clean stairs, ceilings, and car interiors without lugging the whole upright unit.
- Reach Everywhere: Paired with the extension wand, it makes cleaning pet hair off high curtains or ceiling fans effortless.
2. Tangle-Free Brush Roll: No More Scissors
Standard vacuums often get "choked" by long pet hair.
- Continuous Suction: The 39883 features a specialized brush roll that actively prevents hair from wrapping around the bar.
- Maintenance-Free: You can finish your entire home without having to flip the vacuum over to cut hair off the rollers with a knife.
3. HEPA Sealed Allergen System
For allergy sufferers, the vacuum’s exhaust is just as important as its intake.
- Traps 99.97% of Particles: The HEPA filter captures dust, pollen, and pet dander as small as 0.3 microns.
- SmartSeal® Technology: The entire vacuum is airtight, ensuring that allergens aren't "leaked" back into your living space while you clean.
4. Specialized Pet Tools
BISSELL includes a suite of attachments designed for the toughest messes:
- Pet TurboEraser® Tool: A mini motorized brush that "rips" hair out of couch cushions and pet beds.
- 2-in-1 Dusting Brush & Crevice Tool: Ideal for getting into the "nooks and crannies" of baseboards and sofa cracks where fur likes to hide.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Versatility: Functions as both an upright and a portable canister.
- Allergy Friendly: The sealed HEPA system is a game-changer for sensitive lungs.
- Scatter-Free Tech: Excellent performance on hard floors (doesn't kick kibble across the room).
- LED Headlights: Reveals hidden hair and dust under furniture.
Cons:
- Weight: At nearly 16 lbs, it can feel heavy when used as a full upright for long periods.
- Corded: Requires an outlet, though the long cord provides ample reach.
Final Verdict: The Multi-Surface Powerhouse
The BISSELL 39883 Pet Hair Eraser is one of the most balanced vacuums in its class. It provides the heavy-duty suction needed for thick carpets and the specialized portability needed for modern, multi-level homes. If you have pets and allergies, this is a top-tier investment for your home's air and floor quality.
