Buyer question · Pet hair
Will the BISSELL PowerClean FurGuard 4039 stop long pet hair wrapping around the brush roll?

Short answer
BISSELL says yes for the PowerClean FurGuard Cordless Stick Vacuum 4039: its self-cleaning FurGuard brush roll actively removes hair wraps while you vacuum, and even long hair is channeled off the roll and into the dirt bin. BISSELL pairs that with a 280W motor, LED headlights on the foot and a HEPA Sealed Allergen System.

Why the FurGuard 4039 fits a long-hair household
Hair goes to the bin, not around the roll
BISSELL describes the FurGuard brush roll as self-cleaning and says it actively removes hair wraps while you vacuum. The brand says even long hair is channeled off the roll and into the dirt bin.
Headlights show the fur you would miss
The FurFinder LED headlights sit on the foot of the vacuum. BISSELL says they light up dust, fur and debris.
Sealed filtration for dander
BISSELL says the HEPA Sealed Allergen System captures and holds 99.97% of the dust, pollen and dander allergens you vacuum up, tested per ASTM F1977 on particles 0.3 microns and smaller.
Floors and furniture with one machine
BISSELL calls it a 3-in-1 that works as a stick vac, handheld vac and long-reach cleaner. It comes with an upholstery tool whose de-furring strip presses fabric down while suction and stiff bristles loosen pet hair.
How to use it
- Charge the removable battery; BISSELL lists the charge time as under 3 hours.
- Set it up as a stick vac for floors, a handheld vac, or a long-reach cleaner for the job in front of you.
- Use the LED headlights on the foot to spot fur and debris as you go.
- On sofas and other fabric, fit the upholstery tool and let its de-furring strip press the fabric down.
- Empty the 0.4 L dirt cup, which BISSELL lists as easy-empty.
