How long does the battery last on a charge?

Runtime is short, in the range of roughly 15 to 20 minutes on low and less on high. Plan on charging between cleanups.

Can I replace the battery?

No. The battery is built in on this model, so runtime does not improve with a spare pack.

Does it work on carpet and hard floors?

Yes, it is made for both. It picks up surface debris well but has less power on deep pile than a corded vacuum.

Can it be used as a handheld?

Yes. The hand vac detaches from the stick for stairs, furniture and car seats.

Is it good for pet hair?

It is designed for pet hair and does well on floors and upholstery. Long hair may wrap around the brush roll and need clearing.

How much does it weigh?

About 8.5 lb, light enough to carry one-handed.

Our take on the BISSELL PowerLifter Ion Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum

The BISSELL PowerLifter Ion Pet is a cordless stick vacuum built around pet hair cleanup. It weighs about 8.5 lb, converts to a removable hand vac, and has swivel steering plus a two-way folding handle for storage. It cleans carpets and hard floors and reaches furniture and stairs as a handheld. Against rivals it trades a large dirt bin and long runtime for light weight and flexibility; owners like the weight and the hand-vac mode but report short battery life and weak suction on deep carpet.
