✅Product Introduction
Tired of switching settings or dragging multiple vacuums around your home? Meet the Bissell SurfaceSense Pet Multi-Surface Vacuum – 2817, your intelligent solution to effortless, adaptive floor cleaning. Designed with pet parents in mind, this vacuum automatically detects floor types and adjusts its brush roll speed for optimal performance on carpets, rugs, and hard floors.
Now available online and in-store at Bissell Dealer Ace Vacuums, this advanced upright vacuum is built for real homes with real messes — fur, dust, debris, and more.
