8930, 8960 specifications

The Bissell 8960 and 8930 are two powerful vacuum cleaners designed to tackle pet hair, dust, and allergens with exceptional efficiency. These upright vacuums stand out in the crowded market due to their advanced features and innovative technologies that cater to the needs of pet owners and households looking for a thorough clean.

One of the key features of both models is the Pet Hair Eraser technology. This specialized system includes a tangle-free brush roll that prevents hair from wrapping around the brush, effectively making post-cleaning maintenance easier. Additionally, the vacuum comes equipped with a pet turbo eraser tool that helps in capturing even the most stubborn pet hair from furniture, stairs, and other surfaces.

Another notable characteristic of the Bissell 8960 and 8930 is their Multi-Cyclonic System. This technology uses multiple cyclones to separate dirt and debris from the air, ensuring powerful suction that lasts longer without losing efficiency. As a result, users can enjoy consistent cleaning performance regardless of the mess or surface type.

The lightweight and ergonomic design of these vacuums allows for easy maneuverability around the home. The swivel steering enables effortless navigation around furniture and corners, making it easy to reach tight spaces. Whether you need to clean carpets, hardwood floors, or upholstery, these vacuums offer versatility in their cleaning capabilities.

Both models also feature a HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of allergens and fine dust particles, providing a cleaner and healthier environment. This makes them an excellent choice for allergy sufferers, as the sealed allergen system prevents dust and allergens from being released back into the air during cleaning.

In terms of convenience, the Bissell 8960 and 8930 come with a large capacity dirt tank that allows users to clean for extended periods without frequent emptying. The easy-to-empty design ensures that disposing of collected debris is a hassle-free process.
