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

This is my first cordless vacuum after a lifetime of corded behemoths that cause carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow after one use. So maybe I’m easily impressed. But this Bissell 3061 Featherweight has far outstripped my expectations. First, let me say that I’m using it primarily on vinyl kitchen floors. It also gets used on swaths of carpet near the kitchen floor, but I cannot speak to how well it would work as a primary carpet vacuum. Having been a multi-pet person most of my life (hence my King Kong vacuum cleaners), I’m pretty sure that this Bissell stick vacuum wouldn’t be my first choice for removing cat and dog fur from a large carpeted area. But for crumbs and outdoor stuff carried in on people’s shoes, this thing is perfect. Its maneuverability is amazing! I practically need a block and tackle to change direction with my big vacuums. With this one, I can actually hold a soda in one hand and vacuum with the other! (Yes, simple things make me very happy.) Its rotational capacity makes turning the vacuum when it’s in a tight spot incredibly easy. I have back issues, and the light weight plus the flexibility makes this vacuum as much of a pleasure to use as any vacuum can be. This Bissell has done a very nice job on what I’d estimate is about 12 square feet of medium-pile carpet adjacent to the kitchen. I do have to run it over the area two or three times, but since I can easily do three runs in 30 seconds, I’m not complaining. On the vinyl kitchen floor, I usually do two runs, mainly because my eyesight is bad, and the design of the floor makes it hard to tell where I’ve already vacuumed. (Guess I need to let the floor get a lot dirtier.) Surprisingly, even set on the “hard floor” setting, my huge vacuums miss what this one picks up, probably because I can maneuver this one and vacuum more thoroughly. The sweeper blades are easy to clean, and the fact that this Bissell really, actually stands up on its own, makes it the vacuum of my dreams. The folding handle works (in both directions), and, while no vacuum is quiet, this one doesn’t leave my ears ringing. I’ve only had the vacuum for about a month, so I can’t speak to durability. (If it falls apart in the next 12 months, I’ll update my review.)

It desperately needs a wand extension to vacuum above curtains, ceiling vents, etc.

Got this to replace same I bought years ago, brush stopped working. It is light weight, easy to use, powerful pickup & battery charge is good for my main floor/ 6 small rooms. Last one Bed Bath & Beyond (rip?) replaced the whole thing when something broke. I got the extra warranty on this because small things do break on it with wear. Is my go-to for daily cleanups. I think Bissell should put me on commission as I have either bought this for people as gifts (!) or recommended so they got one.

We wanted a small vacuum that would be easy to store in our cozy RV but could serve dual purpose of sweeping and tidying up our floor mats, and work like a hand held dust buster. This model fits all those requirements perfectly!

It’s able to stand by itself light weight

Love how easy and lightweight this is for daily cleaning

I use this more than my regular vacuum! Easy to have on hand and great in the kitchen ! So versatile from a floor vac to a handheld in seconds!! Love it!

Have all hardwoods floors and no pets, so that is probably important to know. I use this for spot cleaning, and the areas where my robots cant go(stairs etc). Good suction power, easy to empty and clean the bin. The battery lasts long enough for my needs, but I dont try to clean my entire house with it. I like the maneuverability, and the way that the handle bends back to get under things. The detachable handheld function is great also. Nice that it stores upright and I didnt have to mount a base to my wall. The only drawback Ive seen so far is that it does take a while to recharge the battery.

El tamaño es ideal. Bien liviano. Limpia muy bien. La batería es duradera.

Although a bit heavier than my old Bissell PET, I really love this vacuum BUT the filter and sponges that was listed as “frequently bought together” are not the correct ones for this Bissell (model 3061). Did not discover that until today when I washed the filter that came with the vacuum and tried to place in a new one in. I won’t trust that frequently bought list again. I already looked on the Bissell site and ordered the correct filters and found this model does not even use sponges. So off to UPS Tuesday to return.
