Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: It is nice, some loose parts, and get what u pay for
Summary: 4 Stars
I like others, read the reviews (and am still too cheap to buy the overpriced Dyson), and decided I was willing to make a gamble on a vaccuum that is only $99. It is okay - but do listen to the criticisms (sp?).
PROS-
-lightweight
-easy to manuever
-sucks up a lot of crud (even on the highest setting)
-minimal filters - (hated having to buy so many for my Hoover)
-large cup (in width)& is easy to rinse out and clean
-easy to put together
CONS-
-lightweight (can tip over easily)
-the design is kinda flawed because the cord seems to always be in your way when you vaccuum & where you tie up the cord is small, so it takes forever to tie it up
-large cup is not very deep (so will have to change out often, or the vaccuum stops sucking essentially - and makes an awful sound)
-connection of the hose to the vaccuum is not that sturdy (broke apart twice on my first time using it)
All in all, so far, I am happy with it. If I have to buy another one, I will try the Eureka (I just can't imagine paying so much for a Dyson).
Customer Review: Powerful, but loud and damages carpet
Summary: 2 Stars
I had just used the vacuum for the first time and was excited at how much dirt it picked up in the first 2 rooms. The dirt container had quite a bit in it, but was not yet to the full line, so I started in on the hall. The vacuum started leaving dark greyish/blackish streaks all over the carpet, that I have yet to remove. I immediately emptied the dirt container, and it got better, but I was very disappointed that I had a bigger mess on my hands, and that the fill line was misleading.
The vacuum is indeed powerful and does get an amazing amount of dirt out of the carpet. However, I agree with the other reviews that it is extremely loud. My 2 year old is frightened of it, where as in the past he would "help" with the vacuuming by pushing alongside me. It also doesn't seem to do as well on bare floors. I was stepping on crumbs seconds after vacuuming the kitchen.
So, while it is powerful, and effective in getting hair and dirt off of the floor, the volume and staining possibilities make me less pleased with this vacuum.
Customer Review: After 3 month's use, a disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I've owned this vacuum for a year.
I have a german shepherd who sheds constantly, a long haired cat, and I live in the country in an area with a lot of fine dusty dirt.
I was extremely pleased with its cleaning power initially, but am ultimately very disappointed in it. It tends to clog constantly, spit back dirt on hard floors, and steadily lost suction. I cleaned the filters after each use -- the problem really seems to be one of poor manufacturing quality.
After 6 months of weekly use it performed poorly. After 9 months the motor began shrieking like a dyspeptic banshee (it's not the belt). The vacuum finally gave up the ghost and I can buy a new one in good conscience.
Not that I think anything else will do much better or last much longer. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before I bought this one.

Customer Review: AWESOME HUNGRY MONSTER VACUUM!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely the best vacuum I've ever owned. I wanted a bagless model because I'm tired of buying bags for my Dirt Devil. I spotted this in Target for 99 dollars, inspected the hell out of it, and I knew it was the one.
EVERY Target store in the entire metro area where I live was either sold out or didn't carry this vacuum, so I got it on the Target website.
This thing is so powerful that it'll suck up anything it touches--like pets, Persian carpet fringe, socks, quarters--even small children. It will clean like no other vacuum you've ever owned! Just watch out where you point this thing because anything it runs over is going to get consumed!
The dirt collector, washable foam filter, and attachments all work great. It's also got a clear hose and spinning brush cover so you can actually see what the hell has jammed it up and where the obstruction is lodged. Finally, someone used their brain and made a vacuum with clear hoses!
Just what I was looking for!
Customer Review: It sucks! The way a vacuum should!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good vacuum - great suction and does a great job getting gunk off the floor. The amount of dirt, hair, and fuzz it gets off our seemingly-pristine short carpeting is truly obscene. It picks up hair nicely (we have a small dog) and is difficult to clog, even if you accidentally pick up some larger pieces of debris (like a paperclip or piece of plastic). It did well picking up glass shards off the tile floor in our kitchen. It's not at all small or light but it's easy to steer and push. The canister is a good size and empties very easily with a minimum of mess. I was originally looking for a retractable cord, but the cord on this is so easy to manage I don't mind that I have to wind it around a bit.
My only big complaint is that it is VERY LOUD, and even louder when using the attachments. If you have very sensitive ears, you might want to try a vacuum that has better noise reduction.
Overall, I would definitely buy this vacuum again - it's a great price for a great vacuum in my opinion.
