Bissell Multi Reach Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum 2151a REVIEW

Bissell Multi Reach on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-Cordless-Removable-Upholstery-21513/dp/B079ZG1WFC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1536966616&sr=8-4&keywords=bissell+multi+reach+plus&linkCode=ll1&tag=cewhitebooks-20&linkId=2ad0332a362f4c8fcd6fbacc690d9184&language=en_US

This is our review of the Bissell Multi Reach Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum. It has a lot of interesting features that I haven’t seen anywhere else, links in the description for current prices and reviews and lets put it to the test.

First with the pros,

It has a lot of cool features including a big bank of LED lights on the cleaner head as well as 2 bright LED light on the handle, which is rare. If you haven’t vacuumed with LED lights before I can tell you they are way more useful than you might think.

I really liked its attachment set, it has a nifty onboard crevice tool, a really high quality dusting brush, as well as a wide upholstery tool that pivots.

I also like the removable 22 volt battery, and you can by an extra at a reasonable price which is rarity with cordless vacuums.

It has a removable brush roll for easy cleaning like with the Dyson cordless vacuums. You can also easily dissemble all the dirt bin parts for cleaning

But probably the coolest feature is its Multi surface technology which is an innovative cleaner head gate, that on the forward push opens up to allow for large debris but on the backward pull closes up to apply maximum airflow to the floor.

We saw this work best on hard floors where the Bissell really excelled. It not only had enough airflow to pick up heavy fine debris including sand with no issues, but it did great with pet hair as well as large debris. In fact it had the best hard floor performance of any cordless vacuum I have tested so far that did not have a soft roller.

I should mention that while it ate up pretty much everything we put down, it did have a size limit. Which was the extra large debris, in this case the froot loops. But considering how well it did with everything below that size I cant hold that against it.

You can see the multi surface technology in action with the crevice pickup test where on the forward push it didn’t pick up the debris but on the backward pull with the flap closed it picked up the two crevice sizes on one pass which is an amazing feat.

On carpet it tackled every debris field with ease including find debris, pet hair and large debris, including the extra large froot loops this time.

But Despite it having stiffer bristles than most, it had very little carpet agitation which is the same as every other cordless vacuum, so you shouldn’t expect it to deep clean carpets the way an upright does, but it certainly does amazing with surface debris.

It has better than average battery life at 20:08 with the cleaner head attached, not amazing but not bad either.

It power was about average at 27 cfm at the cleaner head and 31 cfm at the wand which is the exact same as the Dyson V10 on its medium power setting which is pretty good.

So let move on to the cons.

Im not a big fan of its dirt bin, not just because its fairly small at 2 cups, the same as the Dyson V8, but mostly because you have to remove the bin to empty it which is an extra step, but also because there is no release button, you just kind of tug on it to remove it, which isn’t all that easy. Also debris tends to get stuck in the bin, you should expect to have to dig debris out from time to time as it does find several crevices to hide in.

It’s a small thing but the cleaner head it unevenly balanced and while you don’t notice this at all when vacuuming it does shift its weight to the side whenever you pick it up, its doesn’t really effect anything but it is a little annoying.

In one sense I like the weight distribution because since the handle is toward the top its way easier than the Dysons to use as a handheld like for cobwebs on the ceiling. But you do feel the weight a bit more on the forearm when vacuuming normally than with a Dyson, nothing too major like with the Hoover React but its still a bit on the heavy side.
