GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BISSELL's newest and most advanced pet hair cleanup system, the ICONpet High-Powered Cordless Vacuum, is a powerful cordless vacuum designed for homes with pets. Even better? Every purchase will result in a $25 donation to the BISSELL Pet Foundation, which covers the adoption fee for one shelter pet waiting for a forever home.

With their own pets in mind, BISSELL engineers designed the new ICONpet High-Powered Cordless Vacuum to simplify tackling pet messes throughout the home. Pet parents can give up the cord without sacrificing power thanks to a high-performance digital motor that turns up to 420 miles per hour. Its three power modes make the ICONpet High-Powered Cordless Vacuum a convenient solution for homes with multiple floor types, and a sophisticated lithium battery provides up to 50 minutes of cordless cleaning, depending on the mode and attachments.

"Shedding is a part of our pets' lives, but that doesn't mean pet parents have to sacrifice a clean living space," said Meghan Johnston, brand manager at BISSELL. "With ICONpet Cordless, we're freeing pet parents from the hair struggle by providing a premium floor care solution—so they can still love their pets without worrying about the mess. We're also excited to help shelter pets find their forever homes through purchases of this product."

Convenient features of ICONpet High-Powered Cordless Vacuum include:

A Tangle-Free Brush Roll that minimizes pesky hair wrap, tackling hair up to eight inches long for clog-free pet hair cleanup.
Specialized tools expertly engineered with pet parents in mind, including the Motorized TurboBrush, LED Lighted Crevice Tool and Dusting Brush to help powerfully clean pet hair in any space.
Mess-Free Empty dirt cup with CleanSlide Technology™, a unique sliding mechanism that drops dirt and hair off the separator and into the dirt bin, so there's no cleaning up after the cleanup.
A 22V lithium ion battery provides cordless convenience with three cleaning modes, up to 50 minutes of cordless cleaning, and convenient, quick-charging wall-mount tool storage.
A SmartSeal Allergen system helps trap dust and allergens inside the vacuum so pets and pet parents can breathe easy.
