Vacuum Cleaner Reviews

Not a very exciting purchase, =) but necessary if your vacuum uses these filters. Does a great job at filtering out dust and smaller things you don't even know are in your house. If you have a vacuum with out this type of filter, you will notice a definite reduction in dust around your house when you start using this.

I used this for about three hours yesterday and noticed a remarkable change taking place in my house - well it's a townhome actually, but I like to think of it as my home which I also sometimes call a house. I got a great deal on the rent and couldn't pass it up.

Simply put, this vacuum is great. Extra long power cord, many different height settings. The only problem is finding bags.

In the end I had to purchase this from another online retailer, but I still wanted to write a review because it deserves high praise!

It's very simple and efficient, and is pretty powerful for something so cheap. I've found it works really well - better than some of the more expensive cleaners I've used - and I'm really happy with it.

It's fairly light too, has a long power-cord, and the onboard tools make it a breeze to use. The filtration system is adequate and does the job well.

The only indication of its 'cheapness' is its rather plasticky construction - but so far mine has held out pretty well, and if I had to buy three of these in 10 years, it'd still work out cheaper than a lot of other manufacturer's products!

Oh - and to the reviewer who can't find bags - try your local BestBuy - they're [money]for 3 - or order online from the Bissell web site!

Quite simply, I really like this vacuum. This was an upgrade from an older model Singer vacuum containing only 6.8 amps & was barely able to suck up crumbs. The Bissell in this review has 12 amps and like the previous reviewers mentioned, is a powerful machine that really makes one's carpets look clean when finished. The extra long cord was an extra bonus. That and the fact that the tools attach to the vacuum & everything stores nice & tidily together. Excellent vacuum at a terrific price!

My first review. Hopefully it will help someone.

Great vacuum for the price. Has all the requirements I wanted when purchasing for my 1 bedroom apartment. It has a 12 amp motor, it's quite, light, has filtration and is designed well.

I researched vacuums and came up with the two best that I would have bought if price were not a consideration: the Hoover Self-Propelled with power attachment or the Eureka Ultra Smart Vac Boss Model 4870. I actually bought the Eureka over the Internet, but the vendor took too long in shipping it because of backorder. This gave me a chance to think over the purchase and I realized for my one bedroom apartment, I really didn't need a top of the line, costly vacuum. So I researched with price and AMP in mind.

The most important thing in the Bissell Powerglide Plus is that the bottom piece is constructed much like Hoover's Windtunnel models. The whole concept behind the Windtunnel is the shape of the plastic piece surrounding the roller brush. Take a look at some of the bottoms of a few vacuums. You'll notice the end of a "hose" on some models just pointing towards the ground. That "hose" area allows only a small section of suction. Dirt is being lifted, but the suction area is small because there's nothing to send dirt its way. You simply have to go over that area of carpet again. The molded plastic shape (Windtunnel design) allows the roller brush to funnel dirt towards the "hose" end. It's designed much like a canister type vacuum where the "head" creates a funnel to allow a greater suction area.

The filtration system is decent. No sealed True HEPA filtration here but adequate to prevent dust from going back into the room. You can feel the air that is being pushed back out from the suction. It comes out this post 3M filter attached on the side.

It's quite. I really doubted this one, but it is quite compared to my older Hoover that was in the same class. No jet plane taking off. Even my cat didn't even run away like it usually does when I break out my old vacuum.

The only issue is that it does not glide easily when pushed.

If money is an issue, and you still want the best, this one is it. The Bissell gives probably the best bang for your buck. You'll be hard pressed to find another vacuum for the price with these features.

Great deal for the price! It picks up pet hair with one stroke! Don't know how long the vacumn will last, but for now, it's definitely a great vacumn for the price. Has just a few attachments, and isn't the quietest machine, but it works for my needs! I had a Hoover and Dirt Devil, both didn't work very well and wouldn't pick up pet hair. The Bissell was cheaper and works sooo much better!

This vac does a great job and is well worth the price. Great features too.

I love the vacumn enough to buy several for relatives for Christmas. The only problem I have found is that after owning it for a while, it tends to loose power very quickly. I called the company and they told me that the battery works much like a cell phone and that the best way to get it to work consistently well was to let the charge die out totally on occasion, and then to let it recharge fully. I have tried this and it was the solution to the problem.

I love my new Bissell 3300P Go Vac! This baby is a great product and you certainly can't beat the price- what a deal! This is identical as the Bissell 3300 Go Vac delux except it's purple.

It took me about three minutes to assemble it when it arrive and overnight to fully charge the battery. It can be converted to a hand vac easily, it's light weight and compact, a lot more powerful than I expected and certainly is easier to handle than my old dirt devil. It works beautifully to pick up the stuffs on my laminated floor, pergo, hardwood, not as great on tiles but acceptable. I still need my regular vacuum but my regular vacuum can not replace the ease of use this little thing has.

How did I ever live without a Bissell Go Vac? This is a great little sweeper. It's powerful, lightweight & goes places a big vac can't go. I love having a cordless vac that I can use with a handle or remove the handle and use as a hand held. Buy one. You won't be sorry you did.

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.

I have been putting off buying a new vacuum for way too long. I am amazed at how quiet this Bissell Powerglide is. It's also very easy to push around. I like the fact that it has height adjustments that allow me to use it on my carpeted floors as well as tile. The tools work great for picking up pet hair from my stairs and couch. I should have bought one of these a long time ago. I will recommend this vacuum to anyone who will listen.

After doing a bit of research, I found that CR gave good marks to the Bissel machine. So, I ordered it from Amazon (free shipping), and it took a mere 3 days to arrive.

The vacuum is light, QUIET (I originally bought a Hoover but it was so loud I returned it), has a nice length hose for the cleaning tools, and has a long power cord (35'). As for performance, it does a great job, and the suction from the upholstery attachment is indeed very strong (actually, almost too strong). The bag is easy to reach/replace (just pop off the front cover), and the vacuum has both a pre-filter (to prevent objects from entering and damaging the fan), and a post-filter (to keep dirt from exiting the bag). (I'm not a fan of bagless vacuums. They must be emptied more frequently and are very messy to empty. And don't be fooled into thinking you are saving a lot of money with a bagless; the better ones have expensive HEPA filters that must replaced). The only real problem with the machine is that because it's lightweight, it has a tendency to tip over when using the cleaning tools.

In sum, unless you are willing to pay about $175-$350 for a top of the line vacuum cleaner, the Bissel at only $99 here @ Amazon is a best buy.

Looked for a long time for a vacuum cleaner that was lightweight, powerful, quiet and priced right. This was the one. Can't beat the quality for the price. Alot quieter than some of the more expensive comperable vacuums. The free delivery was also a bonus and arrived five days before listed. Thanks Amazon.com!!

Henry Ford said, "I'll sell a car for $25.00- just give me the parts business." Bissell took a lesson from this- the vaccuum was priced very attractively, and the only bags that fit- cost $...a piece! Brilliant! But I assure you, my next vaccuum will NOT be a Bissell.... by the way, did the other review read more like and advertisement? Think it might have been written by a Bissell employee?

I am NOT a compulsive cleaner (I'd rather do something with the family) so when I DO have the urge to vacuum and dust. I want it to have a lasting effect. This bissell and bag combo does the job and gives me more time with my family! I also like the fact that I can vacuum and vacuum on the same bag until it is completely full. You probably figured out that I don't like changing the bags any more than I like dusting. The annoying dust bunnies are kept at bay with this unit--that is why I feel the extra cost for the bags is well worth the investment. I highly recommend this Bissell vacuum bag.
