Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
Customer Review: Hey isn't there anything higher than 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been in vacuum hell, I got a dyson YUK and a Dirt Devil vision YUK returned them both. Anyway I could not bring myself to get another vacuum right now, so I figured I would just get what I thought was junk for 19.99 until I finally figured out what vacuum to get. Anyway
1. Ordered it Sunday- received it on Tuesday basically overnite.
2. Packed Great
3. Took under 5 minutes from opening box to putting it together, weighs like 3lbs if.
4. Plugged it in saw same lint on the carpet which normally you have to run over couple times to lift. OMG it picked it right up.
5. Ok it does have this tiny tiny tiny dirt cup/bag thing.
but you can wash it out. WHO cares so you have to empty it between rooms.
6. SO IF YOUr LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE FOR BASIC CLEANING LOOK NO FUTHER- ITS A DUST BUSTER THAT YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HAND, ITS A FLOOR CLEANER YOU CAN USE LIKE A VACUUM AND YES IT DOES WORK ON CARPETS.
7.IF THIS LASTS A YEAR YOUR WAY AHEAD OF THE GAME
8.AT LEAST I KNOW TO GET A REGULAR BISSELL VACUUM CLEANER WHEN I LOOK FOR ONE IN A COUPLE MONTHS.
PS DO NOT GET THE DYSON...WORST VACUUM EVER, NOT USER FRIENDLY.....
Customer Review: Dust-buster... with a cord?
Summary: 1 Stars
This vacuum is terrible!!!
I was given one of these as a gift from my fiancee's mother, and have never been happy with it. Being that our budget was so tight at the time, we couldn't afford our own vacuum, but I would rather go borrow my parents vacuums once a month from their houses 45 minutes away than use this thing EVER AGAIN!
I have 2 small dogs with dark fur, and this vacuum never got any hair up out of a carpet. It even had trouble sucking it off a hard laminate floor! And for how little debris this thing actually got up, the container filled ridiculously quick. The one good thing was that it was never hard to empty, because the latch broke the second time I used it, and would ceremoniously dump everything I had just vacuumed up with little warning.
Do yourself a favor: get a swiffer vac, and a real vacuum as well. You're probably even better off with one of those un-powered carpet sweeper.
Whoever thought that giving a dust buster a cord and a long handle was a good idea, deserves to be beaten with this dumb thing. Who new a vacuum could suck so badly?
Customer Review: OK for surfaces other than carpets
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this as a gift. If I were buying for myself, I'd wait for a sale. It's essentially a dust buster on a stick. I've used mine for about a month. The good: decent suction, but not so strong that your drapes get sucked into the cleaner. Does a good job on hard floors, floor mats, car floors, refrigerator and dryer tops, paper wall hangings and so forth. Reaches places my full-featured upright won't. Reasonably light, so doing drapes and wall hangings is less tiring. The bad: useless for carpet (I have v. low shag) It won't pick up small bits of paper and popcorn from my carpet even if I leave the vacuum cleaner directly over the debris for a long time. I agree with others who say the cord should be longer, but geez - don't these folks have extension cords in their homes? Ironically, I've found that the easiest way to clean this thing (it has a cloth filter that needs to be cleaned) is to use the attachments on my full-featured vacuum. Since the filter needs to be cleaned regularly for best performance, I find that I'm getting my full-service upright out at the same time as I get out the stick-vac.Customer Review: Excellent Value
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a product to clean your bare floors, look no further. I have a small house and no carpeting and I was tired of lugging around a huge canister vac, and a broom and dustpan just wasn't cutting it. I have a dog, a baby, and a husband and this makes daily cleaning a snap. I just empty it over a trash can after each room and clean the filter off with a rubber pet hair remover brush which works really well. Though some folks were complaining about this step, I still find using this vacuum more convienent than any other method. I really also like the detachable feature ... you can use it as a hand vac. I use it to clean the high chair and even crumbs off the counter. The crevace tool is really niftier than I thought it would be too. I can really get into cracks and crevaces easier than with the canister vac. And another big plus for me is that it hangs from my broom and mop rack up and out of the way. This is a must-have for bare floors and look no further if you are low on room. And if it breaks before its life expectancy, I'm just out of the $20. No tears. What a value!Customer Review: Goodbye broom & dust pan!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect replacement for a broom and dustpan. And just like a broom and dustpan, it cleans best on bare floors, but only "okay" on some rugs/carpeting depending on the nap of the rug/carpet. It is very light weight, easy to assemble and use, and very affordable. You will get the most out of this appliance if you clean the filter after each use. I put on rubber gloves to brush off the collected hair, dust, and other "yeech" collected on my filter and inside the dust cup, with no problem. My favorite feature is the crevice device to go in corners and along the place where the floors meet walls to get up dust and "stuff". I also love that you can remove the long handle and use it as a hand vac (I do this to clean my sofa). While it's true that there is no snap-on area to hold the crevice tool, nor is the electric cord very long, that's what a rubber band and an extenstion cord is for. For the price, I don't think you can do better. I've had mine for about two years and haven't had a problem yet. I am ordering one for my sister because she has wood laminate and tile floors, and a cat.
