Cordless Reviews

My son is a huge Scooby Doo fan. When I saw this Scooby vacuum on Amazon I had to get one for him, and he loves it. The bonus is that to him it's a toy, but he's also cleaning at the same time. It does a great job for such a little vacuum. I find myself stealing it from his room to use in the kitchen. I think Bissell makes a plain version that I'm going to have to get for myself. This is a great gift item for any Scooby fan.

I, and what is much more important my daughter, really love this device (it's just so much more then just a toy). It really vacuums and it is doing this reasonably well. It's very easy to start and stop and overall very straighforward to use. The only shortcoming is that battery lasts roughly one hour of work. This by itself is ok but to charge this battery takes almost twenty four hours. So sometime when it is needed the most battery is expired and there is no way to quickly recharge it (which could cause child' frustration). Still, great device that makes children to feel that they really help their parents to do a housekeeping.

The Bissell Go•Vac greatly exceeded my expectations of a stick vacuum.

First of all, I enjoy the fact that it's cordless and rechargable. Its cordless design makes it very easy to reach under furniture, and to go from room to room without the hassle of cords being caught around corners, coming loose from the wall, etc.

I found myself actually *enjoying* vacuuming with this vacuum! Froot-Loops crunched into the carpet? Zoom. Get the Go•Vac. Dryer lint in the hall? Go•Vac. Dirt dragged in from the backyard? Go•Vac sucks it all up! With its detachable handle, it's easy to use even in the car!

This vacuum went instantly from carpet to hardwood floors to linoleum and did a very thorough job.

I ***highly*** recommend this product for families, students, and even kids, as its lightweight design will encourage even young kids to care for their own living space. While it may not replace a full-size vacuum, it will definitely be a great asset to your cleaning equipment and will absolutely help maintain a clean 'look' between cleanings. 5 minutes before company arrives? Whip out the Go•Vac and your home instantly looks much, MUCH cleaner!

The only caveats to this glowing review: 12 minute vacuuming time limit and no notification when the charging cycle is complete.

I got this after seeing it in my "gold box" and reading the reviews. I was intrigued by the cordless feature, thinking this would be a handy little unit to use on our pontoon boat carpeting. I always worried about getting electrocuted from the a power cord going over water while using a standard vacuum. Anyway, this little thing really does the job. I was shocked.
Yes, you have to empty the collection cup every few minutes... but that's because it's doing such a fantastic job. I have 4 shorthaired dogs....and I am amazed at how it picks up the hair. My big vacuum doesnt do as good a job!!! It's light, completely portable and works quite well. The one problem I think some of the others ran into is that this battery DOES HAVE A MEMORY. So, YOU CANT LEAVE IT PLUGGED INTO THE RECHARGER ALL THE TIME. You fully discharge it, then recharge it, and disconnect it from the wall. The manual is VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS POINT.
Anyway, this item is meant to be a toy for kids, but for quick clean ups, or for those who are disabled and cant manage a heavy vacuum, this is perfect. I love mine.

We bought ours less than 2 months ago. I bought it to mainly use for small messes my toddlers make. It worked great at first. Now we would be happy if it would run for more than 3 minutes without the battery dying. We have to go over and over the specks of dirt. Sometimes it will pick it up in the 5th try. Sometimes we can even get one area rug vacumed before the battery runs out. Ours has found a new home in the trash. We found for large jobs our Bosch Cyclone is the best, and small jobs I now use a Sanyo Transformax Sc-180. I won't even bother with cordless anymore.

I bought this just to use while my hoover was being repaired. It worked great at first! It was easy to use in small places my large vacuum could not reach and seemed to suck pretty well for a small vacuum. That was for the first 3 months. Now I can not get the upright part to suck up anything. The hand held still works great but just doesn't seem to work when attached to upright. Now it is going to the repair shop! It has been used on a weekly basis, just to let you know how much wear and tear it can take. It has been more convient than my large vacuum until the upright part broke.
