The Vacuum Cleaner For
If you have pets running around on your hardwood or tiled floors and area rugs, then the Bissell PowerEdge 81L2A is the vacuum cleaner you’re looking for. It is a lightweight vacuum cleaner that’s efficient in capturing both large & fine particles, while it does not use a brushroll which could scratch wooden floors.
Main Features
The Bissell 81L2A vacuum cleaner features strong suction power along with the V-shaped design to effectively pull dirt & pet hair inside the vacuum, rather than pushing or blowing them around on your bare floors. So the cleaning head of this vacuum is a bit unconventional, but do not let it put you off as it works really well.
The V shaped suction technology directs large debris inside the center of suction path of the vacuum, while the vacuum’s suction paths at the ends will capture fine particles.
One main disadvantage of the V shaped design is that it could only effectively pick dirt & pet hair in forward motion, but not when moving the vacuum backwards. Another minor disadvantage is it requires longer stroke to be able to pick up dirt, since it funnels debris into certain areas of the vacuum’s cleaning head for them to be sucked into the vacuum.

It makes cleaning a lot let hassle, no need to use a broom as this pet vacuum is brilliant. You might even be surprised how much you picked up after a good floor sweep. Thanks to its wipers which are made from hair-attracting rubber material that enables the vacuum to collect more pet hair than suction alone would.
