> 3 dayThis is definitely a step up from the old Dust-Buster that I had. I love that it has a brush/crevice attachment and two extra filters. It does a great job cleaning kid messes in the car and small messes around the house that you dont want to pull out the large vacuum for. It charges using a USB which is the only small issue I have with it because youre expected to have your own charging block. Im still giving it 5 stars because Ive had this issue with many products using a USB cord, not only this one. If you have USB wall outlets, youre good to go.

> 3 dayI really liked the prompt delivery because she was coming for her “birthday dinner” & although I had a back up gift this little vacuum was what she put on her Amazon wish list. So despite the oxymoron of buying a vacuum for a gift, I would rather buy something someone wanted than to guess at it. And it looks nice & compact so I think it will help her out with the messes from 5 kids..

> 3 dayI brought another handheld vacuum cleaner and it fell apart, so I returned it and debated on which one to try. I went with this one and I am very happy with it. It is easy to use, and I use it almost daily. Its great for quick clean ups, especially chasing kids and my pets around. I am delighted with it. It is quite powerful for being a handheld and the stand is a great extra. Perfect for cleaning out kitchen drawers, small dry spills, incense ash, etc.

> 3 dayUpdate 03Nov22 - lowered rating and sending it back. Even after running it down completely and charging it back up again, the battery indicator still only read a 60% charge #fail. I also realized that I spent $40 on this thing when I thought I spent $25 and that was just insulting. Weak suction, AND poor battery??? NOPE. Its going back. Lowering rating to 2 stars. Bissell, this one was a miss. ------------ Entirely underwhelming, but exactly what I needed. It was all-too-soon that I realized that the suction power on this little device, even on a full charge, is far below whatever expectations that I had coing into this purchase based on its aesthetic and the brand it carries (Ive also got a Bissel CleanSlate that I love). If you temper your expectations and consider price-point as well as accessibility/convenience, it DOES suit its purpose just fine. I bought it for the purpose of dusting off my computer desk and other reachable horizontal surfaces in my office, which it manages well. It is also considered that, a stronger motor would also mean more noise, and if used in an office environment, that just wouldnt fly with fellow employees. Is it wall mountable? No. but yes. Technically. It wasnt designed with that storage adaptability in mind; I just drilled a hole into the bottom then fastened it to my wall with a tapered screw. Presto ; ) How long does the battery last? By my estimation, about 22-25 min on full charge with no shutoffs How long to recharge the battery? dont know yet, Ive only charged it fully once and thats when I went to bed. May update later with this info. What dont I like about it? The exhaust vent is directly below the intake port. So, if you dont use the attachments, itll actually blow away whatever youre trying to clean. Also the attachment is REALLY flimsy. If youre not careful, you will literally take the brush portion rrrrrright off (see image). This isnt a deal breaker for me but----something to be aware of (again. think price point). The stand it comes with is more akin to a intake cover than a stand, even though it has a flat surface. The issue here is that the fit is designed to be so snug that youll have to apply actual force to separate the two manually which detracts from the overall ease of use/access functionality that this is intended to serve. This was tedious to me, hence why I mounted it to the wall (and close to an outlet for recharging). No I can just grab and go as needed. Is it a buy? Sure, all things considered (Again-----think PRICE POINT. That and same-day delivery). So as long as it keeps holding a charge and doesnt stop (start) sucking, Im happy with it..

> 3 dayThis was great while it lasted. I used it for small/dry messes in our minivan (we have three young kids). The battery doesnt last very long so I tried to remember to charge it often. The suction is fine for some messes but not for special/deep cleaning. Now after 6-8 months, the attachment no longer stays in place.

> 3 dayI purchased this Bissell AeroSlim vacuum specifically for cleaning up the hair off my bathroom floor on a daily (probably needs it hourly) basis. I was hoping to find a compact handheld corded vacuum with the intention of storing it in the vanity, but they don’t seem to exist. I chose this based on the reviews and its size. It works great for its intended and described purpose. (Some of these reviewers sound like they purchased a compact car and are surprised and disappointed it’s not adequate to pull a 40 foot camper). On a full charge, it ran for 16 minutes with stopping for a minute to empty the bin a couple times, so the advertised 12 minute run time is pretty accurate. It works best for dry, loose debris in small quantities like the cheez-it crumbs in the backseat (or driver’s seat, no judgement). If you’re planning on vacuuming a Summer’s worth of beach sand embedded in your car’s velcro like carpeted floor mats, you better drag out the shop vac from the garage. The stand up holder is a nice feature, I didn’t want something to hang on a wall to store. It’s small enough to leave plugged in on a counter or on the floor out of the way and yes, if you bump it hard enough, it will (not surprisingly) probably fall over. While the vacuum is lightweight, it feels very substantial for its size. It is comfortable to hold, I had no issues with accidentally hitting the power button and shutting it off during use. The exhaust fan is on the underside, however, I didn’t have issues with it blowing debris around and not being able to vacuum it up. If you hold it more perpendicular than parallel and use the extension attachment as well, it shouldn’t scatter anything around. It does come with an extra filter, but it would be nice if additional filters were readily available. I did see them on Bissell’s website, but they are currently sold out. Overall I am very pleased with it and it serves the purpose I bought it for.

> 3 daySucks cat hair out of my keyboard beautifully. I like the brush, as it gets in all the nooks of the keyboard and dislodges them. Then the vac sucks them up. No problems with the filter. The stand it great. SLOW to charge, but do it over night and it will last a few hours of USE over several days. It is a little noisy but what vac isnt. It is quieter than the old upright Hoover I use to use. The button on the front IS in the wrong spot - design flaw, and I turn it on while trying to put it away. Not a deal breaker - Bissell, move the button.

> 3 dayThis thing is a crumb vacuum. No more, no less. If I were trying to use it for a heavier-duty application, or had different expectations, I might not like it as much. Heres why I gave it five stars: 1. It holds crumbs. Ive had far more expensive, name brand floor vacuums that couldnt keep their contents INSIDE the vacuum. This has a little flapper door that works very well so far. 2. It does a good job with crumbs, dust, and minor dirt. It has plenty of suction for desk and light car vacuuming, and I find it pretty handy to have around. You might pick up a few cheerios, but its not going to suck dirt out of a floor mat like a proper shop vac. Use this to maintain, not to clean up when things get bad. 3. It has a good filter. This has a modern dual layer filtration system with an outer dust screen, and an inner fine paper filter. It captures fine dust quite well. 4. Its easy to clean out. Just pop off the dust bin, pull both filters out, wash the screen, and tap off the paper filter vigorously. Ill need to replace the paper filter at some point like any vacuum, but it comes with an extra, so no big deal. The battery life is fine, but nothing to write home about. If youre using it daily, youll want to keep a micro-USB charger handy every few days. I dont use it super heavily, so Im not best positioned to talk about battery life. It could be sleeker, but this is about as good as it gets for a useful vacuum. If you need something heavy duty for big car messes or serious dirt, you should probably just get a portable shop vac, like a Milwaukee unit. If you want a crumb vacuum for small messes to keep things tidy, this is your vac.

> 3 dayI love the ease of using this vacuum! Within 20 minutes of taking it off its first charge my husband decided to drop a cake on me and the couch! This vacuum cleaned up all of the crumbs effortlessly! Definitely recommend!

> 3 dayObsessed with this little vacuum for my car. I have a trash can that hangs on the back of the front passenger seat with side pockets, and this vacuum slides easily in one side and the attachments in the other. When the battery gets low, I can charge it right in my car. It is PERFECT for cleaning up bits of grass, food crumbs (so many food crumbs), dog hair, etc. If you need to do a deep cleaning, this is absolutely NOT the tool for the job, but for little maintenance it is *chefs kiss*.
