BISSELL SmartClean Robot Vacuum, 1974

This is the type of robot vacuum that combines:

  • Powerful suction
  • Unique brush roll
  • Edge-cleaning brushes

In order to pick up:

  • Dust
  • Dirt
  • Hair

This bot works on:

  • Hard floors
  • Laminate
  • Tiles
  • Low-pile carpets

Our favorite surface for this bot is hardwood, well, once you go through the potentially tricky setup of this bot, but you should be able to survive nonetheless! Also, while we like it on hardwood, it may struggle to transition between surface types, such as between hardwood and carpets…

Movement patterns

The SmartClean tries to cover edges, corners, and even under furniture and similarly hard-to-reach spots. That is thanks to its dual spinning edge brushes for edges and corners, a rotating brush roll to lift hair and debris that are deeply embedded, and strong suction to collect loose dirt right into the dustbin. The dustbin is quite easy to manage.

How can it go under furniture, you ask? Well, its low profile allows it to do so!

Spatial awareness

Thank to Opticlean sensors, debris and dirt can be found in high-traffic areas. Furthermore, Invisible Wall technology lets you instruct the bot where not to clean. For example, maybe you have fragile decoration that you would not like knocked over…

Smart implementations

You can schedule the SmartClean bot to clean whenever you want it to. Whenever about to run out of battery, the SmartClean 1974 goes back to the dock on its own to recharge.

Conclusion

While not BISSELL’s greatest product yet, it still packs some positive features that you would expect…

  • Hardwood specialist
  • Convenient dustbin
  • Mediocre transitioning
  • Tricky setup
