Bissell - Featherweight Stick Vacuum

very strong! I can do proper cleaning with this little friend. Only thing is when I want to clean underneath a bed or shelves, the vacuum head is lifted from the floor. Because of this, I am using it for quick cleaning which was original purpose of purcha

Buy this and thank me later.

Pretty good vacuum with ample power for everyday needs (exceeded my expectations!). I just want to be clear this cannot be used without the cord as it has NO battery, unlike what I read from another website. BUT being connected to a power supply means it has MORE power than those battery-powered alternatives costing few hundred dollars more. And because it is "featherweight," my 6-year old daughter now enjoys vacuuming around the house. For the price, don't think and buy this right away!

Cheap, light and great suction

Firstly short cord, use an extension cord for this. Secondly it can be used on carpet/rugs but is not meant for that. We can't push it forward on rugs/carpet, only backward but it will work to pick up dirt/dust if done this way however its not as good as one made for carpets.Thirdly it has a short stick so may not be good for tall people.Overall I love it for our house though as we have mainly floor boards with 3 rugs. It has GREAT suction and has a crevice tool for all the little areas. It also has a small vac head so its easy to maneuver around things. It picks up most big pieces as well as dust. It's super easy to pull apart and clean out which we do after every vacuum and sometimes in between depending on how much of the 3 bedroom house we want to vacuum. ... MoreFirstly short cord, use an extension cord for this.

You may need to do that more in a large house. We can't get it under our couches unfortunately. I can't wait to try this in my car too.Good buy for the price!

Does a great job

Exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted a light, cheap vacuum with good suction that I could use on my floating floor boards, in between the 2 weekly clean I give it with my washer vacuum. The suction is great and because it doesn’t have brushes, the fur from my cats does not clog up the vacuum. Easy to empty - well worth the price. I hope it lasts!

Excellent suction!

Bought this as my other vacuum wasn’t sucking great. The handle is a little flimsy and the head doesn’t rotate to get into harder areas but omg the suction is incredible! Got more out of my carpet then I would from the whole house. Comes with crevice tool for hard to teach spots and the head doesn’t have a soft brush for your hard floor so wouldn’t suggest on new flooring to risk scratching but is fantastic for my old carpet and lino . Also packs away easy in cupboard. Easy to empty. For the price I’m very happy!

If it looks like a toy, chances are it is a toy

Gave this vacuum a good few weeks usage before rating, just to be sure ..as so many people have given it a high rating. Look if you don’t have pets, kids with long hair, carpet or a car and live in a 4x4m linoleum box then this is perfect for you. No brush or roller on the head means it’s virtually impossible to clean your carpet, the head is half the size of a regular vacuum so it’s taking twice as long to vacuum..the reservoir is the size of a walnut meaning you’re emptying thrice as much..the cord is ridiculous, you’ll need another extension cord or spend more time unplugging and plugging. Fine for some, I just cannot understand how some people would even call this an appliance. Do not be fooled by the good ratings. Absolute rubbish.

Just right for small apartments

Exactly what I need for my one bedroom unit. Works wonderfully on wooden floorboards. Surprisingly powerful suction - I vacuum daily and there's always something! Easy maintenance - you can wash and air dry the inner filter. The "dustbuster" function, where you detach the vacuum foot, is so handy, as is the included nozzle for nooks and crannies. Long enough cord to do most of a small room. My only small complaint would be that it's a little bit stiff removing the foot sometimes, but that might just be me!

Lightweight & powerfull

Powerfull, lightweight, convertible stick vac. This vac has excellent auction power and is light and easy to use, it is corded but I think that is what provides the outstanding suction. The vac does feel a little fragile as the attached handle is very slimline. It is easy to use however turning can be cumbersome due to the head having no rollers to assist turning. The suction head is small which is great for stairs and tight spaces. I great purchase at this price point for a quality brand. Higly recommend.

Perfect for my needs

Ok so when I opened the box I was like, this looks like a child's toy, it has a tiny little vacuum head, and its basically a hand held vacuum with a stick attached. I thought I had been robbed. But I turned it on and used it and when you turn it on the suction is so hard the thing jumps! It sucks up everything better than anything I have used that is full sized. All the other reviews are accurate, tiny little canister and a short cord but it sucks! It is perfect for my one bedroom unit, gets the job done and i dont have to empty half way through, its still big enough to do my whole space. Would recommend for a hard surface, and small space.

WHAT A POWERFUL LITTLE SUCKER!

I picked up my Bissell Featherweight today and of course I had to try it out immediately. First up while you are assembling this little beauty you will notice what good quality the build is. Putting it together takes five seconds - no complicated bits and pieces to worry about here, it just all clicks together, you plug it in and hang on ! Ha ha ! because the suction is noticeable. I have hard floors throughout so this is perfect. This machine does not have a rotating powerhead but with suction that never diminishes you don't need it. It cleaned my hardwood floors perfectly and with a lot less noise than my old vac. It has a removable washable filter and quickly transforms into a handheld appliance. There is also a crevice tool supplied. The head is slim so it will ... MoreI picked up my Bissell Featherweight today and of course I had to try it out immediately.

If you cannot get your head around dragging a powercord around with this and have been spoiled by this cordless world - think again and consider the benefits of a more powerful motor and no need to ever recharge. It is a small inconvenience when you realize just how good this product is. The only reason I have not given this product five stars is that it will not fully collapse when vacuuming under beds etcetera but hey ! I can live with that!
