Is it? There's a "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum" with a 16 feet cord. Moreover, although the reviews are largely positive, there are some complaining about noise and limited suction power.

There is also a cordless variant, which I think is what this blog post's author has found, but it's listed under the name as "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lithium Ion Cordless Hand Vacuum".

So Bing AI's claims seem justifiable at least. I'm not sure how to confirm whether the citation was correct (full link isn't given in the screenshot).

The irony is that this means the AI is more reliable than the author of this article when it comes to picking pet hair vacuums.

Maybe the AI has crossed the singularity into the 5th dimension of alternate parallel universes and these hallucinations are actual realities elsewhere -- possible scenarios that almost occurred here, but didn't. 🤷‍♀️
