Bissell CleanView Compact 3508
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe offers a 1200 W motor, HEPA filtration and a detachable Lift-Away pod, delivering strong suction and versatility for pet-hair and allergy concerns. Its short hose, single speed, and overall heft can make extended handheld use tiring. Best for pet owners who need portable above-floor cleaning and appreciate HEPA filtration at a reasonable price.
The Bissell CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum 3508 is a lightweight, bagless upright designed for small spaces, featuring a long 23-ft cord and easy-empty 1-liter dirt cup. Its trade-offs include a small dust capacity, lack of HEPA filtration, and no swivel steering, which may limit performance on larger homes or for allergy sufferers. Best suited for apartment dwellers and quick everyday cleanups.

Professional reviewers commend the NV360 for its powerful 1200 W motor, strong pet-hair pickup, and effective HEPA filtration, while noting its generous 0.9 qt dust cup and convenient Lift-Away pod. However, they point out drawbacks such as the floorhead's tendency to trap larger debris, the limited 5-ft hose length, and the lack of adjustable suction or brushroll height.
Everyday users love the vacuum's astonishing suction power, lightweight maneuverability, and large dust cup, especially for pet-hair removal and allergy concerns. Common complaints focus on the short hose, occasional debris scatter on hard floors, and the unit feeling heavy when fully loaded.
“astonishing suction picking up all pet hair/fur from carpets, shag rugs, dog beds”
“Strong suction pulls up light rugs (needs adjustment)”
“Users commonly praise the lightweight 7.5-lb design for easy transport and stair cleaning”
Professional editors highlight the Bissell 3508's ultra-lightweight design, long 23-ft cord, and easy-empty dirt cup as strong points for quick, everyday cleaning in compact homes. However, they note several shortcomings such as the missing brush-on/off switch, lack of HEPA filtration, no cord rewind, and limited suction control, which reduce its appeal for allergy sufferers or users needing more versatile floor-type adjustments.
Everyday users love the vacuum's portability, strong suction, and scatter-free performance on hard floors, especially for pet hair. Common frustrations revolve around the small 1-liter dust bin that requires frequent emptying, the need for regular filter maintenance to keep suction strong, and the absence of a brush-off switch that can cause debris to scatter on rugs.
