Holiday Gift for Moms and Dads

Some people believe that a useful household item should never be a gift, but I say if that item is a huge improvement over what a person is currently using, it can be a gift that keeps on giving! When it comes to floor cleaning, Bissell is a master at making the job easier and the company’s phenomenal Lift Off 2 in 1 Cordless Stick Vacuum would make a great gift for anyone that’s tired of dragging out the broom and lugging around the vacuum day after day.

When it comes to floor cleaning, this little beauty has it all. It’s lightweight, has an incredible compact design, can be used either with or without the rotating brush and is suitable for both hard floors and carpet. To top it all off, the center of the Lift Off Vacuum actually detaches and becomes a powerful hand vacuum! And with a fold-down handle, storing the vacuum is as easy as using it.

The Lift Off 2 in 1 Stick Vacuum has quickly become our household’s most loved cleaning tool for a few different reasons. The cordless, lightweight design makes moving to a different floor a breeze so that we can finally regularly clean our bedroom area rug and our rubber-backed basement carpeting. In the past, cleaning those rugs meant lugging a heavy vacuum up and down flights of stairs, but those days are gone forever!

For such a lightweight, the Lift Off Stick Vacuum has noticeable power. It doesn’t have the heavy-duty, deep-down suction of a large upright vacuum, but for low-pile carpeting and quick cleanups it is just unbeatable. My husband has completely fallen in love with this machine and uses it over and over again in the course of a day. We leave it plugged in at all times so that when it’s time to clean up a mess, it’s always ready to go.

When my son broke open a box of Kraft Dinner and the noodles spilled over our laminate floor, I had my doubts about the vacuum being able to handle the job. I shouldn’t have worried. The vacuum had the dried noodles picked up in a flash. I couldn’t believe how well it worked for cleaning up the many child-induced messes in our household!

The one thing that does need to be remembered about this vacuum is that since it is cordless, there is a limit to how long it will last. I find after about fifteen minutes of use, it starts to lose some of its power. But since we always keep it plugged in and ready to use, we have never had an issue with it dying on us when we need it. My husband does a quick vacuum of our living room carpet, tiled entryway and laminate kitchen floor at least three times a day and the vacuum always has enough power to get the job done.

For apartments or houses with minimal carpeting, this little vacuum is a great choice. Easy to move around, easy to use, easy to store and versatile; it’s a dream come true for floor cleaning! Because it doesn’t clean a high-pile carpet as thoroughly as a full-sized upright vacuum, you may still need to do a thorough vacuuming of your high-pile carpets once a week or so. But for daily maintenance and cleaning, it is a dream come true and a great gift for anyone that has children to clean up after! The Bissell Lift Off 2 in 1 Cordless Stick Vacuum is available at select retailers across Canada and can also be purchased online, so visit the site to find a retailer near you today!
