Description of BISSELL 3108 EasyVac PowerbrushIdeal for home or offices with varied floor surfaces. Powerful, 6-amp two-motor system. Includes detachable canister and on-board tools. Light-weight--just 11 pounds. Crevice tool included This item will take 2-3 weeks to ship. Shipments cannot be expedited on this item. . Designed for bare floors, carpets, upholstery, and stairs, the EasyVac Powerbrush from Bissell is a highly versatile vacuum. First of all, the machine features two motors--one for suction and one that rotates the power brush. The power brush itself is optional, turning off with the flip of a switch for cleaning linoleum and hardwood floors. The machine's 11-inch floor nozzle features an edge-cleaning design and a transparent hatch that reveals the power brush in action. The EasyVac's detachable canister is great for hand-vacuuming and above-the-floor jobs. Onboard attachments convert with minimum hassle and include a crevice tool and a 5-foot stretch hose. At just 11 pounds, this machine is relatively lightweight, so it's easy to carry, lift, and push. Bissell equips it with a bagless dirt collection cup--just note when the cup's full and pop it off to empty. Inside the cup, a reusable filter traps particulates to improve air quality in the home. Dual quick-release storage hooks keep the 18-foot power cord in place, and the machine's casters are gentle on floors. A loop in the handle allows for hanging storage. --Emily Bedard
Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 3108 EasyVac PowerbrushCustomer Review: Pet Hair, Be GONE! Summary: 5 Stars
The amount of cat hair my new EasyVac pulled out of my carpet area rug could have covered a whole new cat. For 6 weeks I have been using an older stickvack to "clean" my 700 sq ft apartment. It did fine on the wood floors but wouldn't touch the cat hair in my rugs. I have been brushing my rugs with the cat brush to get some of the fur out of them -- tedious! I used the EasyVac and then brushed my rug again to test its power -- no more cat hair came up!
The dual motors are a must if you have wood floors and rugs. Other brush vacuums I've used just scatter the chunky bits like cat litter rather than sucking them up. Turning the brush motor off eliminates this problem. Why don't most other vacs have this feature? And the brush when engaged does a sufficient job of sweeping up the cat hair. It does have a lot of exhaust air blowing out the back, but it vents at about knee level so it doesn't blow the dust bunnies around before you can vacuum them up.
I was worried about emptying the dust cup, but it was no gross at all! I pulled the cup out and no dust poofed out, no cat hair escaped, it looked clean and tidy with the nasty bits behind the filter where they belong. I took the cup outside, no dusty trail followed me through the house and out the door. I upended the cup and whacked the filter on the ground a couple of times to knock more dust loose and then put it back together again. Voila! Done! My stickvac's cup was disgusting to empty. Dust everywhere! I even had to reach up into the unit to pull out more clupms of cat hair and dust. Nasty! The EasyVac is entirely different and better.
It's light, it's quiet-ish and it gets the job done. I wouldn't want to use it on a whole carpeted house, but for my needs (small apartmrnt, wood floors, carpet rugs, 2 cats) it's perfect.
