Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A 14.4 V cordless hand vacuum with a motorized brush tool, a 0.7 L bagless bin and a washable filter, aimed at pet hair on furniture, stairs and car interiors. Check the runtime before you buy: BISSELL claims up to 17 minutes per charge, and Reviewed’s lab measured 19.

Strengths

  • Reviewed’s lab measured 19 minutes of runtime and 24 ounces of capacity, and its guide names this model its overall handheld pick and its pick for pet hair.
  • A motorized brush tool in a hand vacuum under $100 is the feature that sets this one apart.
  • Pet hair comes off upholstery fast in Reviewed’s testing.
  • The 0.7 L bin is large for a hand vacuum, and bagless means no bags to buy.
  • Three tools ship in the box: motorized brush, crevice tool and upholstery tool.
  • Owners on retailer review pages repeatedly name suction, ease of use and pet-hair pickup.

Weaknesses

  • At 3 lb it is heavy for a hand vacuum, and Reviewed lists the weight as a con.
  • Seventeen minutes of cordless runtime suits a sofa or a car seat, not a room.
  • No suction control, and no bin-full or clean-filter indicator to tell you when performance drops.
  • Reviewed lists the upholstery tool as tough to clean.
  • BISSELL’s page contradicts itself on filtration: the spec table says 3 stage, the FAQ says two-stage.
  • Owners report the printed guide is wrong about the charging light and needed a support call to sort out.

Runtime and session length

BISSELL states “up to 17 minutes of uninterrupted runtime” and footnotes it as usage-dependent, so treat that as a ceiling rather than a promise. Retailer spec sheets repeat the same figure. Reviewed’s lab ran it for 19 minutes with a 24-ounce capacity, which lines up with the 0.7 L bin BISSELL lists. No source says whether the claim was measured with the motorized brush attached or off, so plan a sofa or a stair run per charge rather than a floor. Charge time is not documented: neither manual revision states how long a full charge takes.

Pet hair pickup and what owners say

Reviewed’s lab puts the 2390 at the top of its handheld guide for suction and for pet hair, and says it dominates when cleaning fur off upholstery. Its published numbers for this model are runtime and capacity; no airflow, suction-force or noise figure exists for it. Consumer Reports runs the 2390A in its handheld lab program, scoring carpet, bare floors, pet hair, filtration effectiveness, crevice cleaning, ease of use, noise and run time, but the per-criterion scores and the overall score sit behind membership. No Wirecutter, Tom’s Guide, CNET or PCMag test of this exact model was found, so the lab backing is narrower than the marketing volume suggests.

Owner feedback splits the way hand vacuum reviews usually do. Walmart’s summary for the purple 2390A lists dog-hair effectiveness and powerful suction for a compact vacuum among its pros, and Best Buy’s summary for model 2390 says customers consistently note suction, ease of use and power. Against that, one verified 1-star Walmart review calls the suction very weak and says it will not lift terrier or Jack Russell hair, and another review titled “Does NOT work for pet hair in my car” drew a Bissell response recommending slow, overlapping motorized-brush passes on carpeted surfaces. In an r/VacuumCleaners thread one owner says the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser tends to miss a lot of hair because the brush relies on a small strip of material, but that thread never names a model, so treat it as brand-level opinion rather than evidence about the 2390. Some Best Buy reviewers say the price is high and ask for a wall mount. Nobody has published a failure rate for this platform, so read the split as normal review dispersion rather than a defect count.

Filters, running costs and upkeep

Ownership costs stay low. The bin is bagless and the filter washes by hand in warm water with mild detergent, then needs 24 to 48 hours to dry fully before it goes back in. Genuine replacements are sold individually when parts wear out: a brush roll clip at $14.99, with filter-related items around $15.99 and $19.99. Charging uses the supplied Bissell adapter, and the manual says the charger model number is on a white warning label on the vacuum and that only the supplied charger should be used.

Upkeep costs time rather than money. The motorized brush has to come off before the dirt tank comes off, and the brush roll sits behind an access plate that a coin unlocks. Bissell’s own low-suction support article warns that the rubber flap inside the dirt cup can be pushed into the tool channel and quietly cut suction, and the manual’s troubleshooting table lists a full tank, a badly seated tank or a dirty filter as the usual causes. Empty the bin before debris reaches the FULL line. No source states that the battery pack, charger or motor are available as user-replaceable parts, so treat those as sealed and the filter, filter cup, brush roll and tools as the supported consumables.

Is it worth it?

At $90 or below the case is straightforward: a lab-tested hand vacuum with a motorized brush, three tools and a washable filter. Reviewed’s own price block, dated April 2024, listed $105.23 at Lowe’s and $101.29 at Walmart, which is the retailer premium band. Above $110 the identical unit is available cheaper, so the price matters here. If you need more than one charge’s worth of cleaning, the next step up is a cordless stick vacuum that detaches into a handheld, which removes the runtime ceiling. Check the store panel above for current prices.

Which model this is

This page covers the 2390A, the GrapeVine Purple & Black Accents member of the 2390 cordless family. The teal 23903 is the same machine in another colorway, and Reviewed describes it as identical in performance and packaging. Model 2390C is a separate Canadian-only Pet Pro variant with a different name and more power, not a revision of this one, and the older corded 33A1B and the 1782 cordless model are separate products. Reviewers write it as the “Bissell Pet Hair Eraser 2390”, and BISSELL’s support pages for the 2390 also cover the 2284W and 2389 variants. The Amazon listing is ASIN B07CB6RBSP.
