Bissell 8531 Review

Byjaimegunton Updated on

People with allergies have found this vacuum a good solution. With the constant build up of dog hair (and cat hair), allergies can be a huge problem, requiring repeated cleaning. And for some reason, the number of people who suffer from allergies seems to be on the rise.

I don’t know how dog groomers, who are prone to allergies, cope.

Well with the one-pass technology built into the Bissell 8531, customers are finding that they can remove stubborn, in-grained pet hair much more effectively.
