Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
Customer Review: Great "extra" vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
This vacuum is a pleasant surprise, considering it is light weight and so affordable. It is great for quick cleaning of crumbs, pet hair, and dust/dirt from hard floors. It is easy to assemble, plugs right into the wall, and begins picking up all of that annoying dirt off the kitchen floor. I use it every day to touch up my kitchen, foyer, and bathroom floors. It doesn't have any bags to change - the bottom of the vacuum acts as a dirt cup that you empty. There is also a filter that can be hand-rinsed if it gets too dirty. I recommend that you hold the vacuum over a trash can when you empty it, since some of the dirt seems to fall out as you open it. Please remember, this machine is not a full-size vacuum and will not clean like a regular upright or canister machine. If you have a large area or carpeted floors, you will need a regular vacuum in addition to this one. It might be satisfactory as an "only" vacuum in a small apartment or dorm room, as long as the floors aren't carpeted. It is basically a dustbuster-type hand vacuum on a longer stick, with accessories. If you're like me and you get a lot of crumbs, dirt, dust, leaves, fur, etc on your hard floors, and you hate to drag out your heavy vacuum cleaner for these little touch-ups, then you need a Bissell Featherweight. Lots of cleaning power, no annoying batteries to charge, easy to store, and so lightweight that you can just grab it, clean up, and be done!Customer Review: Bissell Featherweight vacuum GREAT for price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little vacuum for the price. We all have to remember that it is VERY light and fairly delicate. We can't expect it to clean and entire house with carpets. I have a house of nearly entirely hardwood type floors. Two of my rooms are carpet and I quickly realized that the handle on this little vacuum could easily snap if precaution is not taken.
I have a toddler and 2 dogs. The house can be quickly messied by dirt and crumbs. This little vacuum picks all that up with no problem. The fact that the head piece can detach to fit into small spaces is a huge benefit! I don't normally have a spider problem but I see that if I did I could just detach the head piece and suck em up :)
I had wanted a cordless vacuum but had worried about sucking power. I'm glad I chose this one because it seems to have a decent amount of power....especially since I have hard floors.
PROS:
-Compact, can fit into small closet or corner
-Detachable head to suck dirt in small spaces/corners
-Low price
-Suction for such a small vacuum
CONS:
-Cord is fairly long but I still can't reach areas
-Doesn't work as well on carpet (but that's expected)
-Attachment/head piece might scratch hard floors
Hope this review helped. This little vacuum is a great purchase for quick jobs around the house.
Customer Review: LOVE IT
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this vacuum a few weeks ago, after we put hardwood in the living room and hallway. After we then put an area rug in the living room and runners in the hall, I found I needed something easy to quickly clean. I read many reviews and decided to go ahead and buy it. I want to tell you I LOVE IT. I think it is everything it claims to be. I have two dogs and it picks up the hair and any other floor dust easily. I do agree that the cord is short, but I permanantly attached an extention cord and problem solved. I find it easy to empty, easy to use the other attachment (which I rarely use, as the main one fits so many places) and it makes cleaning hardwood and vinyl floors a breeze. I waited a few weeks to review it, because I wanted to give the vacuum a chance to fail me, but it has not. The price is well worth it, and if I were to have to replace it every year........for 20 bucks, I would do it. OH, it also cleans the area rugs (very low pile) too. I have not tried it on the bedroom rugs (higher pile) nor would I expect it to work on them. So, I gladly give this product a five star rating!!! I love how lightweight and easily handled that it is. (funny sentence, but you get it!!) If you are looking, look no more.Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good product. I would purchase it again.
It does a great job on my hardwood and tile floors. Dirt is always getting stuck in the grooves in my hard wood floors and this vacuum sucked it right out. It is much more effective than a regular broom.
It also worked well on my sofa. I vacuum it often with my full size vacuum and this actually did a better job. I was shocked to see the dirt it got out on its first use. I think I just lose a lot of suction with the long hose and attachments of my full size vacuum.
It's great for picking up the litter my cat tracks around the house and the food bits my toddler throws on the floor.
The attachment options are great. I love how the bottom piece detaches to become a "Dustbuster". I can pop it off with my foot while I am vacuuming and then reattach it quickly. Great feature. Cleaning is quicker now. It's weird that the crevis tool does not stay onboard, but I am ok with that.
Great value for the price. Definitely much easier, more effective, and quicker than using a broom and dustpan.
I think you will be satisfied if you are using a regular broom now and need an effective upgrade.
Customer Review: Great Little Lightweight Vacuum for Quick Pick-ups
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned and regularly used this Bissell for over two years. I'm very pleased. Considering the low $20 cost, I can say that I've rarely been as satisfied with a product. The suction of this quick vac is surprisingly strong for its size, and the unit is light and easily maneuverable. The canister is easy to empty, but like other vacuums with cloth-type filters, occasional brushing is required to loosen fibers that get stuck in the filter.
This is a corded unit, which is a bit of a hassle, but one I'm happy to accept. I also own a cordless unit, and hate that after about 5 minutes of use, the battery drains out, it starts to lose power, and goes dead after about 10 minutes of use. With this one, yes, you do have to drag the cord around, but what you get in return is 100% full power all of the time.
If you are looking for a full power vacuum cleaner for use on carpet, or a shop-vac that will pick up big items like dry dog food, you will be disappointed. HOWEVER, if you are looking for an effective, lightweight, inexpensive broom-vac for use on hard surfaces, this is a great choice. In short, this unit does not replace a Dyson, but it DOES replace a broom and dust pan.
