Does what it needs to do, a little noisy and sometimes the charge will run out quickly if you don't

published

I am happy with the performance & suction, it works well getting everything. I used it on tiles and carpet in a medium 3 bedroom house. I found it worked really well on carpet. It is easy to maneuver and is light weight, it is quite loud and noisy which can be a little annoying to everyone at times.

Great vacuum for short carpet, long run time

published

This is my second Vac after first one died on me (2.5y).
Great for shorter carpets, picks up pretty much everything, long run time 35-40min. Easy to clean, lightweight, charges quickly too. Got it for amazing price from Bissels website as it was without a carton. Highly recommended, I use it every day!.

Love it

published

I already have a Dyson cordless cleaner but find there is not enough battery power to complete my cleaning. I am so happy with the Bissell AirRAM, the suction is remarkable for such a small machine. It is so light and easy to move around. Some features I love are, the on/off switch (instead of having to keep your finger on the button). The 4 bars which let you know how much battery power you have left. The length of the battery charge. It stands upright. The price. I love this machine.

Bought two of these as presents

Feedback to me fs that they are fantastic, picking up dust and DOG HAIR, making cleaning a BREEZE. Easy to empty!!! Picking up a Beagles hair is tiring, this Air Ram makes a chore, EASY.

Simple is the Key

Far more powerful and effective than many other cordless options. It's heavier base means it runs well over multiple different surfaces and doesn't require downward pressure from the user. Be warned it is surprisingly loud so if this offends you I would suggest trying it out first. It's not as versatile as some of its competitors but 98% of the time I want my vacuum to clean floors and that's exactly what it does well. It's simple to use, clean and maintain and the rotating brush does a great job of freshening up the carpet. I've tried other options but can't say any of them matched the Bissell's cleaning power.

Gutsy cordless vacuum

published

My old cordless vac died, it was fine, but not exceptional. After researching online it was a toss up between the Dyson and Bissell. I have 2 Dyson corded vacs, a heavy upright and smaller barrel vac. With all the hype of Dyson...Nup, decided to go with Bissell Air Ram. Received yesterday purchased direct from Bissell website for a bargain $160 delivered...damaged carton, vac is perfect. Used it today, through the whole house. AMAZING! I am so glad I bought this one! Thank you Bissell..and all the others on here that gave this vac and glowing report. Fantastic.

Seriously powerful

published

Super happy with my purchase. I've been using this vacuum cleaner for carpets and floorboards for almost 3 years now. Easy to use, battery life is really good. The most important thing is the service. I had an issue when warranty was about to end, the vacuum cleaner made grinning noises and stopped working, I called the company and they just sent me a BRAND new one within just a few day and were so nice.
Only downside is that it's a bit noisy but I guess it's because it's so powerful.
Highly recommend.

Is there a six star option?

published

Fantastic. I dont use my corded vac anymore. Airram all the way. It sucks up very well. As mentioned it needs emptying each time. Ive had an air ram for well over two years now and the battery still has good charge. I can vacuum my 3 bedroom home easily on a single charge. It might need a replacement brush but thats about all. I dont consider it too noisy. It doesnt have that high pitched squeal like my corded vac does. It also feels quite robust. You can also place it anywhere as you dont need a bracket to hang it on like the dyson. Wouldnt hesitate to buy another AirRAM if this one ever dies.

Great small vacuum easy to use.

published

Have been using it for over a year now and it works a treat. It is the only one we use in the whole house now. We never drag out the big vacuum any more.
It works so well you have to empty it quite often. Collects loads of dust as well.
Great product.

Just an update on the vac. It's still going strong no problems what so ever. The big vac gets pulled out twice a year maybe for doing the carpets. Highly recommend this ripper little vac

Terrific

published

Great vacuum ... so sorry I spent many $$$ buying a corded vacuum prior to the Bissell ... I believed I would need both, not so!!! Bissell AirRam Cord-Free does a brilliant job ... I live in a highrise & am pleasantly surprised at the amount of dirt the Bissell picks up. 4 stars only because no vacuum would ever be light enough for me :-( Highly recommend for ease of use & performance

Fantastic vac.

published

Bought this based on reviews here, did not disappoint. It's basically a cross between a carpet sweeper and a vacuum. Best compact vac I've ever used, the rotating brushes do well on carpets, it's low enough to slide under the couch. Only drawback is the collecting tray could be bigger.

Simply The Best

I love, love, love my AirRam. Use it everyday, light and easy to use and clean. Only use my heavy Dyson every couple of weeks and the Dyson doesn't have much dust in it when I've finished so I know that the AirRam is doing a great job.

Broken down 3 times

When it's fresh out of the box it is pretty good but be warned this vacuum will soon start self destructing the handle on mine has snapped off twice and now the motor has stopped working. The neighbours downstairs complained as to why we used power tools so much be warned it is very noisy. The gears inside the motor are made of plastic if only I had reviewed it before purchasing .Bissell customer service would be one of the worst experiences I have ever had to deal with they never ever answer the phone and simply just don't care at all zero cutomer service skills.

Can I purchase replacement parts for the discontinued AirRam? I need a replacement plastic strip for the front casing where the brush sits inside. My husband can get a little enthusiastic using this machine

I would contact the Bissell Outlet Shop in Scorsby, Victoria - they would be able to let you know if they have in stock and could post to you or if you live nearby you could pick up.

No, it wasn't your husband, it happened to me too, broke 13 mths after buy, and you can get from Bissell but it takes a bit of time (long time cos they don't answer very quickly and then don't respond well, there's a girl on emails who is terrible) for them to get back to you and i gave up and threw the thing out, mine lasted just over 12 mths before that happened. I'm going back to corded vacs, i tried other vacs too, even a Dyson and it was terrible. I should say they sent me the part, but it didn't seem to fit properly and no one i knew could get it to sit in there.....sad because it was v good.
