BISSELL, 3061 Featherweight Cordless Stick Vacuum, Electric Blue, Black

The problem with modern stick vacuums is that they heavy and they place that weight in your hand, not down by the vacuum head. The result is that hand gets tired and the vacuum head never gets the weighting it needs to stay on the floor. This also means the head can skip it f you working on a rug. And you can never stand them up because the weight is the top. This Bissel unit places the handheld unit towards the door, so the wheels carry it and the head stays on the surface you are vacuuming. as a result, you do less work and it gets the job done faster. The vacuum unit detaches and works as a hand vac. Its easy to detach and reattach, and the dirt cup releases easily. Also nice is the folding arm, bends forward to help reach under furniture, and then backward for smaller storage. To me, this style is a no-brainer, but the trend is toward the style where the weight of the motor is in your hand and carried by hand, elbow, and shoulder. TWO NEGATIVES are 1) The attachments, which are really cheap, and 2) no place to carry them on the vacuum, or store them. Still, for the money, this is a decent lightweight stick vac for light duty and easy touch-ups.

I absolutely love this vac -- Ive had it almost 3 months now, and I now I vacuum every day, first thing after I get up. (Im a person who used to absolutely hate vacuuming.). Here are some of the many things I love: > Light weight & easy to maneuver. It is a cinch to vacuum 3-4 rooms of my house in 10 minutes. > All the controls -- power button, brush switch, etc. are on the front of the handle, positioned directly under my thumb when holding the handle with a natural grip. So vacuuming is a completely one-handed operation. > Clear plastic over the brush roll -- I can see at a glance whether the brush roll is turning, and I can also easily see if the roll needs to be cleaned. > I love the 2-in-one design with the hand vac -- the hand vac is always available, easily accessible because the full vac stands upright on its own when not in use. > Large charging light indicator -- very easy to see when Im vacuuming. Also, I like the way the indicator flashes red not only for low battery, but if anything gets caught in the roller brush -- plus the roller brush stops immediately when that happens, so very easy to remove whatever object has managed to get sucked up. > Super easy to keep the vac clean -- I always empty the dust bin after I vacuum each day. The filter is very easy to remove for cleaning & I bought some replacement filters so I can wash and swap out for a clean & dry filter every few days. (I highly recommend this, it amazes me how dirty the filter gets after only a few days use) > The way the handle snaps forward when vacuuming for easy maneuvering under furniture is cool. I thought at first that this was a silly gimmick, until I realized how easy it made the task of routine cleaning under tables, chairs, etc. > Great suction. I dont expect a cordless vac to rival a heavy-duty vac for deep cleaning, but this really does a terrific job. Anyway, when shopping I felt overwhelmed by all the options for a cordless stick vac, but Im very glad that this is the one I chose.

Terrific vacuum. As a 72 y.o. with arthritis this vacuum is a God-send! Love hand held vacuum to pick up after my cockatiel. Charge lasts a long while. Easily goes under my bed and couch. Wished I had bought it sooner! Highly recommend

It’s okay. It works. The battery doesn’t last as long as it says, which is supposed to about 4 hours. It’s nice & I like it. Just doesn’t work for a house cleaning job

This vacuum does an excellent job on pickup, maneuverability, and it is light weight. But the battery time is only about 15 to 17 minutes, and then several hours to recharge. It does say in the description that run time is only up to 20 minutes. So, that is what you git.

Handles quick pickups on the hardwood floors and kitchen. Lightweight

Highly recommend. I’m disabled and this thing is very lightweight and so easy to use! Glides over the floor smoothly. Also powerfully picks up my cats hair off floor and furniture. Highly recommended!!!!

This is the best vacuum hands down. Lightweight yet solid! Super easy to use, works on tile, stairs, carpet and hardwood with great suction for all areas. Its prefect for my 2 story condo and love that its cordless so Im not tripping over the cord or trying to find a place to plug it in, as I manover about with it. Works great for under the bed with the handle that tips up and down for storage. Love the detachable for corners, hard to reach areas and my stairs. You wont be sorry you bought this one. Im not big on writing reviews but felt compelled to share. I will tell my family and friends about this great vacuum. Its a must have, you wont be sorry.

This Bissell vacuum works great. First, it is what it is, a light weight cordless vac. But Ive found it to work so much better than other similar products Ive used. This Bissell delivered more sucking power, better battery life (I can vac all the rugs in the house on one charge), great brush action, and its easy to clean. Since I have dogs this is a big feature for me. Plus I love the fact that I can lower the vacuum handle to move under beds. That saves my back and make vacuuming easier to do. Yea!
