Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BISSELL 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
Customer Review: Bissell Faetherweight Vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this vacuum to more easily clean the dog hair (from my 2 labs)that always accumulates beyond the area rugs on the wood floor & in other tight spaces between and under furniture.
For those areas on any hard floor surface it very efficiently picks up the hair & other light dirt. Although it does pick-up debris from carpeted areas, I would never depend on this to be my primary vacuum cleaner. I still vacuum my area rugs with a regular sized vacuum.
This vacuum does let me do light touch-ups without having to drag out the heavier version. My only complaints are, it would be nice if the cord was longer. I find that I have to plug and unplug it 3 times to reach all the areas in my little house. Also the clip that connects the handle to the vacuum does not hold. It clicks in place like it's going to hold, but after a few passes the two components come apart.I fixed it with a wide piece of packaging tape.
Customer Review: Bissell Featherweight
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best lightweight ever. Great on ceremic floors. Bissell backs their products and has a friendly customer service department. The vacuum is small but mighty.Customer Review: Bissell Featherweight - Great Stick Vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the Bissel Featherweight because we needed another "stick" type vacuum for our hardwood floors on the second level of the house. Previously I had been using a Eureka Super Broom. The Eureka is a great product but I wanted something a little more versatile.
Positives:
The Bissel Featherweight has a much longer cord than the Eureka which allows for more area to be vacuumed without switching outlets. The Bissel also seems to have more power than the Eureka does. Also it is nice that you can use the Bissel as a hand-held unit and an upright unit. The crevice attachment also comes in very handy.
Negative:
There is absolutely no place to put the crevice attachment on the vacuum. I know that within a couple weeks I am going to misplace the crevice attachment and never find it again. I really think they could have added a little protrusion on the vacuum to hold the crevice tool.
Customer Review: Bissell Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum Review
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the Bissell to vacuum our carpeted office. It appeared to be lightweight, could perform many functions and was on sale. Well, after using it nearly one month, it is indeed lightweight and can be used as an upright or a handheld. However, the motor is very weak and it can't even pick up small (<1/4" dia.) stones and debris. Also, it has a cup instead of a filter bag. Big mistake! Dust comes out of the top of the cup.
In conclusion, the vacuum is simply too weak to suck up anything more than dust and very small debris. I am returning it to the store to get my money back and invest the refund on a much more powerful and better vacuum. Yes, I expect to pay considerably more, but the next vacuum will be able to do what we need it to -- clean our carpets.
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.
