The United States, the new El Dorado of stick vacuum cleaners? We would be tempted to believe it so much the American brands follow Shark to invade our shelves. The Bissell MultiReach Active Pet also crossed the Atlantic to undergo our tests.
When it comes to pure efficiency, it’s very hard to fault the Bissell MultiReach Active Pet. Regardless of the type of floor on which it passes, dust and detritus are eliminated very well, and this, in a completely bearable sound environment. In addition, its high-performance filtration system prevents the device from clogging up too quickly. But everything is not perfect, and if we can pass additional features to absent subscribers, emptying the collector much less practical than on many other stick vacuum cleaners, and especially its lack of endurance prevent it from accessing at the highest steps of our comparison.
Strong points
- Good suction performance on all types of floors.
- Excellent filtration.
- Not very noisy despite its suction qualities.
Weak points
- Heavy.
- Inconvenient collector emptying system.
- Limited autonomy.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Polti’s first stick-style stick vacuum just does what it’s told and does it well. Very pleasant to hold, it offers comfortable autonomy and manages to effectively vacuum hard floors and thin carpets. Despite this, the SR100 suffers from a few small flaws, such as a somewhat capricious HEPA filter or a battery that takes too long to recharge. This Polti is likely to suffer from serious competition. Opposite, the Hoover H-Free, offered at the same price, proved more convincing.
