Product Description
Bissell 1161 Hard Floor Expert Deluxe Canister Vacuum
View largerWith the Bissell Hard Floor Expert Deluxe canister vacuum, you have a specialized, lightweight tool designed to clean delicate surfaces, high and low, with powerful suction. Digital fingertip controls let you reduce suction power for area rugs and other delicate surfaces. Rubber wheels and felt treads won’t scratch or mark floors, and the brush has extra soft bristles so you can clean with peace of mind. The Easy Empty dirt tank, automatic cord rewind, and a full complement of tools make cleaning your hard floors fast and easy. Finally, a vacuum that’s made for your hard floors and your life.
Why should I invest in a canister vacuum?
Canister vacuums are generally lighter and more maneuverable than uprights. They are great for vacuuming under low tables and furniture. The compact design makes them easy to store and to carry on stairs. Many canister vacuums have tools and attachments that clean almost any surface.
What makes it safe for hard floors?
It has nonmarking wheels made of rubber and felt. The brush has softer bristles that are not as tough on hard floors as a typical vacuum brush.

Customers are mixed about the length of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that they appreciate the compact size, the wheels, and the handles, while others say that it is very short.

First and foremost, IT WORKS. If you have hardwood floors, this machine will clean them. The vacuum-driven brushes do a great job of removing dust right into the woodgrain and cracks, and there's ample vacuum to pick up all debris in one pass. You will NOT find yourself scrubbing back and forth trying to get the floor clean. It's remarkably quiet; you hear the whoosh in the hose and the whir of the brushes, but the base unit is almost drowned out by those sounds.
The remote in the handle is also a great feature. You can turn the unit on and off with a touch of your thumb or adjust the power from 1 to 5. I at first wondered why I'd want to vary the vacuum. Isn't moooore poweeer every guy's creed? Well that was before I saw what a thorough job it did even on 3. The telescoping wand is intuitively designed so that you find you change the length (i.e. for window sills and wainscoting) without even thinking about it.
The dirt receptacle is another home run - simply lift it out of the base unit, carry it out to the garbage can and release the latch on the trapdoor. Retracting power cords are a common feature these days, but this one is particularly functional.
While the unit is designed to roll along smoothly on its 6" main wheels, it's so light you can comfortably carry the power unit in one hand while vacuuming a large area. This is also handy on stairs.
Random observation: Using the handset with the detail brush you feel a little like one of the guys from Ghostbusters. You can decide whether that's a good thing.
As an aside, with the light weight and strong vacuum, this has replaced my shop vac as my go-to tool for cleaning my car. Never would have expected that.
If you have hardwood floors and are looking for the ideal tool for keeping them clean, this is it.
Overall, if you have hard floors in your hosue this is the vacuum for you. It is designed for hard floors, and it does a perfect job on hard floors. We have 100% hardwoods and some area rugs and it is perfect for that. This would not be good for carpet. It is not designed for carpet. If you have carpet, look at another vacuum.
But, for a hard floor vacuum it is better than I expected. Small, light, great suction, easy to clean dust bin...it fits all the marks. I don't know what more to say. If you are looking at this vac, and your house is mostly hard floors and area rugs, this is what you want. And, did I mention that the handle expands?!?! Darn great machine.
The design of the vacuum cleaner is fantastic. It's very easy to adjust the suction level using buttons on the handle and to turn the vacuum off/on from the handle. There are also 5 blue lights that clearly indicate what level of suction you are currently using. Other nice features are that the cord can retract automatically and that the handle can easily be stored upright using a small hook on the handle/canister. In addition, the canister is lightweight and is easy to move from room to room (by rolling or carrying). Finally, it is easy to see when the dirt canister is full and it's even easier to empty/clean it out.
fyi, it wasn't clear from the description when I bought the vacuum, but it DOES have an extra attachment for rugs. Since it's advertised more as a hardwood floor cleaner, I wanted to note that mine came with a rug attachment.
Overall, I am really pleased with this canister vacuum cleaner and am glad that I found it on Amazon!
Top reviews from other countries
Update: the vacuum is worth well over $150 that the price suggests, its extremely quiet and smooth. Tons of suction power and will not scratch the laminate. The hardwood floor roller brush works exceedingly well picking up virtually everything and the carpet/hard floor nozel works surprisingly well on the thick area rugs and excellent on the low pile ones. Its easy to empty and the filters are easy to remove to clean...which is good since you will have to do this fairly often to maintain suction. The only con i can think of that it has a small dust bin which meas it will have to be emptied frequently. I would buy this same vacuum three times over for the price of one dyson before i would consider dyson. This machins makes the chore of vacuuming satisfying!
Pros:
Great suction on hardwood floors
Quiet
Light
Cons:
Requires regular cleaning of filters
Small canister
Short cord
So-so on rugs
The biggest issue is that the small canister fills up quickly. We have a long haired cat, and I usually have to empty the canister once while vacuuming our 1500 sq ft apartment. The cord is short, but I just use an extension. I also have to take out the filters and knock them outside every 3-4 vacuumings to keep them clean. If you don't do this suction will drop off dramatically. The spinning brush is not powered by a motor, just the suction, so if it gets hair wrapped around it it may stop spinning. It's easy to remove and untangle any hair from the brush, but I seem to spend a lot of time doing maintenance on this vacuum. When it's done properly the machine is very effective though. I'm not sure if these issues would be any better in a much more expensive vacuum. Generally this works for my needs, and I'm happy with my purchase.
The suction can be adjusted, which is awesome. I have one floor that if you use highest suction the floor itself lifts- so I need to reduce there. Otherwise, I have wood floors- it's great on them.
I have a dog and 2 cats- so lots of hair. I just empty the canister each time I use it, and if there is lots of debris, maybe once during use. It literally takes under a minute. It is a small canister compared to the large upright Dyson- but for the difference of several hundred dollars....I can empty it more often, thanks. It's easy to empty. Yes, it gets dirty....but what would you expect?? That's where the dirt goes....
The filter needs to be removed occasionally (say every 5 times it's used ) as fine hair and dust will get into it (I have yet to see a vacuum where it doesn't?) and I just bang it out. Once I rinsed it- that seemed to work well also.
It's light, which is great for shoulders that are getting older. My body doesn't hurt like it does after using the upright Dyson (sorry Dyson, it's heavy). Down side of that is sometimes it flips onto it's side- so I flip it back. NOT a big deal.
I'm a fan. Given the cost and how closely it works to the more expensive ones, I would definitely buy this again.
I will revisit this review if performance changes over time.
Love the different brush heads and adapters. The hardwood floor brush is my favourite. It’s light weight. Perfect for stairs. Suction is very powerful. I went with a Bissel because I also have the handheld vacuum which is super powerful and figured going with Bissel was a smart idea. Also love the option to control suction force with a click of a button at your fingertips. It’s on the handle. Just need to add 2 batteries which comes in the box. Also have the option to turn off vacuum without bending over. Noise wise, it’s pretty quiet.
With two dogs and a toddler I used vacuum everyday for a week and I couldn’t be happier. I love my Dyson but this vacuum for the price and quality is definitely a keeper!
I miss my old Dyson but couldn't afford a new one
Update! IT CAUGHT ON FIRE
and I've been dealing with THE WORST customer service at Bissel.
- they sent me a cheap replacement - when I complained - they said they'd give me a refund - then they said they couldn't give me a refund cause I got it from Amazon
Been waiting over a MONTH to get this sorted out - dozens of emails and calls - NIGHTMARE
