Bissell PowerClean FurFinder 4089E (Black and Blue)

How long does the battery last and how quickly does it charge?

The 2000mAh removable battery provides up to 40 minutes of continuous cleaning in eco mode. Higher power settings will reduce runtime accordingly. The battery charges completely in under 3 hours using the included charger. The removable design means you can charge the battery separately from the vacuum and you can purchase additional batteries for extended cleaning sessions.

What surfaces can this vacuum clean effectively?

The PowerClean FurFinder works on all floor types including carpets, rugs, hardwood, laminate, tile and vinyl. The brush roll adjusts automatically between carpet and hard floors. It's also excellent for upholstery, car interiors, stairs and mattresses when used in handheld mode. The FurFinder tool specifically excels at removing embedded pet hair from fabric surfaces.

How does the FurFinder headlight technology work?

The FurFinder headlights use high-intensity LED technology to illuminate pet hair and debris that's invisible under normal lighting conditions. These headlights reveal up to 7X more pet hair than standard room lighting, making it easier to spot and remove hair from dark corners, under furniture and on dark-coloured surfaces where pet hair typically hides.

Is the brush roll really tangle-free and how do I maintain it?

The specially designed brush roll significantly reduces hair tangling compared to standard brush rolls. Whilst no brush roll is completely tangle-free with heavy pet hair, this design minimises wrap-up. The quick-release mechanism allows easy access for cleaning - simply press the release button to remove the brush roll for maintenance. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance.

How much does the vacuum weigh and is it easy to manoeuvre?

The vacuum weighs just 3.2kg, making it one of the lighter cordless vacuums available. The balanced design and swivel steering head make it highly manoeuvrable around furniture and tight spaces. The self-standing feature means you can park it anywhere without it falling over and the ergonomic handle reduces wrist strain during extended cleaning sessions.

What's included in the box and what warranty coverage do I get?

The box includes the PowerClean FurFinder vacuum, FurFinder tool, integrated crevice tool, battery charger and mesh storage bag for attachments. The vacuum comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty, whilst the removable battery is covered by a separate 2-year warranty. This provides excellent long-term protection for your investment.

How effective is the HEPA filter and how often should it be cleaned?

The built-in HEPA filter captures 99.97% of allergens and pet dander particles as small as 0.3 microns, tested per ASTM F1977 standards. For optimal performance, clean the filter every 4-6 weeks depending on usage frequency. The filter is washable - rinse with cool water and allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter annually for best results.

Can I use this vacuum for car cleaning and tight spaces?

Absolutely. The handheld mode makes it perfect for car interiors, reaching between seats, cleaning floor mats and removing pet hair from upholstery. The integrated crevice tool extends your reach into tight spaces without needing separate attachments. The cordless design eliminates the need for power outlets, making car cleaning much more convenient than corded alternatives.
