BISSELL CleanView Swivel Pet Upright Vacuum 2252

The verdict

The CleanView Swivel Pet 2252 is a bagless corded upright with a Triple Action brush roll, two-axis swivel steering, and five height settings on a dial in the floorhead. Power is a foot pedal — step to turn it on, step to turn it off — so there is no screen, no app, and no button hunt.

BISSELL CleanView Swivel Pet Upright Vacuum 2252 — about $119.99 at Amazon · 4.6★ · Blind pick (no sight needed) — a corded upright vacuum run by foot pedals, with swivel steering and a perfect deep-clean test score, at about a third of the price of the cordless sticks already in the catalog.

It carries a 1.0 L dustbin, a 27-foot cord with a 6-foot hose, and a powered Pet TurboEraser tool plus crevice and dusting tools for stairs and upholstery. Independent testers at Vacuum Wars scored it a perfect 100 in their carpet deep-clean test and named it a great budget upright; it weighs 12.5 lb and carries a 3-year limited warranty.

Blind details

For a blind user, the case for this vacuum is that the controls are in your feet and the feedback is in your ears: the motor's pitch drops and the brush roll's sound changes as it moves from bare floor to carpet, and a blockage announces itself as a sudden change in suction sound long before you need the small green-to-red suction indicator, which is visual only. One bump dot on the height dial at the mid setting covers most rooms. What we checked is the control mechanism in independent lab testing and live listings — foot-pedal power, the height dial, the swivel — not a blind hands-on test, so learn the pedal positions at home before the first full clean.

Honest caveats: At about 80 dB this is a loud vacuum — wear hearing protection if you run it for a long session, and warn the household. It has no sealed HEPA filtration, so allergy-first buyers should look at a sealed-system model instead; the filters are washable, which saves money but means a hand-wash routine. The floorhead can tilt upward when you reach far under furniture, and then it stops picking up — keep the handle angle shallow and listen for the suction change. And note the price swings: $119.99 on sale against a $139.99 list, so do not pay list.
