Is this a good product for cleaning stairs? I already have a large Bissell carpet cleaner that I find too cumbersome for the stairs although it has at

Although I don't have carpeted stairs, if I did, I'd be happy to have this product. The cleaning head is the perfect size for stairs and the machine's size is perfect for the job....lightweight, easy to use, and with a pretty long cord.

i returned this product because it wasn't great at anything. replaced it with the hoover model.

No, it would take a very long time. A small spot takes long enough and it still leaves my carpets soaked.

It is not the heavy duty big Dyson, that I thought. I got it because I have hardwood floors. It is a very small vacuum. There is a little power head that comes with it for carpet and I have used it to vacuum the door mats etc. and it is fine. I do not have carpeted stairs. It is very light weight and easy to walk around with

I think it's a good cleaner for all types of floors. Although I would not consider the vacuum to be light weight at all. The vacuum also does not dispense enough of the cleaner when trying to clean the floor.

I have a garden home with a narrow, carpeted stairwell. I use it on my stairs and love it. It's important to change/clean the filter when you start to notice a loss in suction.

Yes. I've used my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser on a carpeted stairway to vacuum trekked in dirt.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

This Hoover vacuum does a super job picking up dog hair in a "flash," it's low on noise, easy to clean and lightweight. I have not tried stairs. My guess is the vacuum will do just as good a job. Give it a try.

Hi there! I have two dogs, 14 months and 3 months old...and I had a bissell steampro for a while, and it just didn't have very good suction, it seemed to dump the water on the carpet, but not suck it out as well. I just this weekend bought a Hoover Dual V Steam cleaner, and it is TO DIE FOR! I just love it! You can rinse your carpets after you are done shampooing, and when my furry little friend who isn't totally potty trained yet has an accident, I can suck the pee-pee right up first, and then add soap and water to flush it out! It's fantastic! I won't ever go back to the bissell, I love my Hoover Dual V! Right where they come in from the backyard there is always a black mark from dirty paws and dirty hubbie's feet, and it got that awful stain out which was there for a long time...I would definitely recommend it to your for your pets.

i havent used it on stairs, i dont have any, i use it on couches and chairs and it works very well.. its basically a miniature version of the main spinning brush.

I use the wand with the versatool for stairs with no carpet and it works very well. The versa tool is good for bare floors and when closed it has good suction also for crevices. I hope this helped you.

See the dustbin in the center? That whole piece lifts off the large base and you can bring the smaller unit into tight spaces and up and down stairs. The hose and attachments allow you to vacuum the steps. I love not having to lug the whole vacuum when cleaning my steps. I use the crevice tool, not the rotating brush. A couple passes with the crevice tool picks everything up.

We don't have stairs but I think it would not be great on stairs. We use it as a 'fill in' vacuum for quick pick ups. We do like it but you have to be careful to get the right position to get adequate suction.

I asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.

Works very well on my carpet. You use it like you would use a rake. My carpet has a thick pile and doesn't get dirty but the pile can get pressed down from walking on it. Using the rake means less vacuuming for me. It would work well to pick up pet hair but I have no pets.

Yes, it is great for stairs. It is light weight, so you can easily manage steps. You can either use it with the floor tool attached to the pole, allowing you to stand straight up and cover each step in a motion or two or you can detach the pole and use the hose, bending a bit to get to any cracks or crevices. Again, because it is light weight, bending isn't an issue while wearing the vacuum. And the standard floor tool that the vacuum comes with works well on most carpets (this is because the vacuum has such powerful suction) so you can move seamlessly from hard floor to carpeted steps without having to switch tools.

Try the Bissel V (versus) - I just got one and love it so far. I needed a vacuum for hardwoods & area rugs that would pick up dog hair. My regular vacuum is just too loud; this one didn't even wake the dog. I was skeptical about the whole "v" design - while I haven't yet had the kind of mess that it is supposed to funnel, it made getting around table & chair legs really easy.

This is the best for the stairs! It has 2 rotating brush extensions for either wide or shallow stairs, or your preference. Easily detaches, easily connects.. It is light enough in weight, that it will be fairly effortless to go up or done the stairs, doing carpet or hard flooring material. Lastly, it gets good and close on the edges next to the wall or the next step, however your stairs are arranged. I think you will be pleased, I have been! Have fun, Mark
