When you first take this upright vacuum out of the box, you’ll notice that it has a very sleek and clean design. This sleek and clean design allows you to easily understand all of the different features and settings that this upright vacuum offers. But, along with that, it also makes it very easy for you to move this upright vacuum around.

What is especially notable about the design of this upright vacuum is the fact that it’s a lift-away vacuum cleaner. This means that you can use this upright vacuum as you would a normal upright vacuum, which is to say that you push it across your floors, but you can also use it a little differently.

Instead of being constrained to the main body of the vacuum, you can remove the vacuum’s main canister, which is the top part of the vacuum, from the main body. In doing this, you are then able to move the vacuum around to spaces that it wouldn’t normally be able to reach, and you can use the vacuum’s hose to vacuum in tight crevices, corners, nooks, and crannies that the floor head is incapable of reaching.

With the versatility and flexibility that this design offers, you won’t have any problems vacuuming in just about any space and area. That way, if you want to vacuum in a tight corner or underneath your couch, to name just two examples, you can easily do so.

But, along with that, this versatility is further enhanced by the fact that Bissell has included various pet cleaning tools, which make it easier to perform certain vacuuming functions.

One of the most useful pet cleaning tools that Bissell has included, is that of the Pet TurboEraser Tool. This is a small brush that can be used to vacuum on couches, carpets, stairs, chairs, bed sheets; along with many other surfaces.

It consists of a strong brush roll and thick brush bristles that can dive into the depths of whatever surface you are vacuuming, and remove the dirt, dust, and debris that happens to be within those surfaces. What makes this tool especially nice is the fact that it’s tangle-free, which makes it very useful for removing pet hair.

There are other tools that Bissell has included, as well. These tools are, comparatively, far simple, but they do allow for a very easy vacuuming experience. One of the tools that Bissell has included is the Pet Hair Eraser Tool, which is incredibly useful for removing thick clumps of pet hair that are nestled within certain space and areas.

Most of the time, though, you’ll probably be relying on the main floor head, rather than the lift-away mode or the tools that Bissell has included. Fortunately, the floor head that Bissell has included is very well-designed, and it offers plenty of brushing power.

With the floor head, which is known as the “Triple Action Brush Roll”, you’re able to vacuum on thick carpets and rugs. The individual brush bristles that comprise the brush roll are capable of diving into the depths of that particular surface, and loosening up and removing the dirt, dust, and debris that is within it.

That way, all of the dirt, dust, and debris that is within your rug/carpet is removed. But, along with that, since this is a pet vacuum, it’s also great for removing pet hair.

While the Triple Action Brush Roll is great for carpets and rugs, it’s also very useful for hard floors, as well. It moves across those floors with ease, and it’s capable of gathering up all of the dirt, dust, and debris that is within your path.

Plus, the strong suction power allows you to move it across most areas on your floor just once, and all of the dirt, dust, and debris in your path will be cleaned off.

Conclusion

In the end, the Bissell 20431 Powerglide Pet Plus Upright Vacuum is a fantastic upright vacuum that offers exceptional performance and convenience, which allows for a very easy vacuuming experience. It is somewhat expensive, though, so make sure to keep that in mind.
