Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
Customer Review: Maybe I expected too much, but....
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a stick vacuum for two reasons...
1 - our kitchen table is an indoor version of a picnic table with attached benches. The only way of cleaning up underneath it (short of moving this solid oak item every night) is to get on hands and knees and crawl under with the with the dust pan and broom. and
2 - our entry way is totally flat carpet with one small sculpted style area rug (barely a pile on this) which naturally, is where the sand and tiny tiny pebbles are. My big upright just spits the sand and small pebbles out the back so I to use the hose only which is quite time consuming. I was looking for a way make these jobs easier.
This one didn't work for me. Maybe I got a bad one from WalMart? I tried, I really did, thinking it was just me. But it was barely adequate. It did suck up the small crumbs off the top of the tile, but did not have enough suction to get the crumbs out that were between the spaces between my tiles (old tiles, old shifting house, rented, that's why I'm not replacing the kitchen floor). Once again, thinking it must be me, I checked to see if the crumbs were stuck. I really wasn't expecting miracles. But nope, not stuck. Just not enough suction.
There was some sand on the floor which it totally ignored. I had to go over each space a couple of times for this sand to get sucked up. This baffled me.
I know one other poster said things like dog food got pushed around. I have to say things even smaller than that got pushed around rather than sucked up. It was pushing crumbs much smaller than a popcorn kernel. The floor nozzle is just too close to the floor.
Then I tried it on the entry way (I really figured it was me, the reviews were so good on this). It did a fair job on the flat carpeting, but again, it took alot of going over. I didn't save all that much time versus using the hose on my 12 amp big vacuum. The area rug is dark green and I could see the stuff on it. This machine did a terrible job. Picked up next to nothing.
Edge cleaning with the floor nozzle on was a joke. I know it's not going to get the stuff in the crevice, but it didn't touch a thing that was an inch or less from the wall. At this point I didn't even bother trying the crevice tool which I am sure would have worked.
Emptying the dust cup is an absolute nightmare. The flter is right there and collected almost as much as the dust cup. I accidently hit it and had another two messes to clean up, the pile on the floor and the vacuum. In my other vacuum the filter is situated so that this kind of accident doesn't happen.
Possibly I am expecting too much from a $20.00 machine (19.88 at Walmart). Is it just that I got it at Walmart? It is the same exact model number, but on the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time I wondered if Walmart sells refurbished or "seconds" (items that don't meet the manufacturer's first quality standards).
As luck would have it I found a Eureaka Boss Superlite (it's a model 411 which I believe is the same as Amazon's model 410)in the paper when I came home from returning this. I spent $20.00 on it and am thrilled. It is a bit bigger machine, but I tried it out tonite and was quite pleased at how it accomplished what I needed a small vacuum to do. I'll review it after I try it out more in the next day or two.
So, while this may be right for some, if you are looking for a smaller vacuum for the same reasons I was, I think I would keep looking. If it is a case of me expecting miracles from this machine then I am sure the next reviewers will let you know!
