The Bissell PowerGlide Deluxe Pet Vacuum is tough on dirt (pictures)

This Bissell is fully convertible, which means that you can use it as a traditional upright vacuum or remove the canister from the body and use it as a portable canister vacuum.

The canister detaches easily from the upright body.

The extension hose features a wand with a handle. The hose reaches 6.5 feet from the vacuum body.

You recline the Bissell by pressing your foot onto the base.

The Bissell features an adjustable handle, which allows you to adjust the height of the vacuum's handle based on your own height.

The Bissell's dustbin is of a simpler design than others, but the vacuum itself is simpler and lacking in the frills of other models. Sometimes, however, simpler is better.

Many vacuums include pet-specific attachments for removing pet hair from furniture and upholstery. The Bissell's tool uses highly effective plastic blades that rotate and scrape hair into the vacuum.
