BISSELL® Featherweight™ PowerBrush Vacuum, 2773A Gray

Works well for a small vacuum unit in a studio apartment

It is very lightweight, but has strong suction. I only bought to do door mats & porch as we track & for stairs. Works well for that. Cord is a little short compared to most now-a-days but for what I needed its perfect.

Very lightweight! Feels like its made of cheap plastic, but once you turn it on the powerful suction makes up for it.

I got it specifically to use on 2 small old , rather delicate, oriental rugs. My regular vacuum had too strong a suction and was pulling up the rugs especially on the fringes. I wanted something with a lower suction and I had checked all the reviews, and had also submitted a question about being able to use it on a small rather light old rug. All the responses I got said it would be fine for my purposes. However when I used it on the rugs I found that the rotating brushes (which are made of rather stiff (plastic?) material) were too rough on the material of the rug. After vacuuming, the dirt bag receptacle was filled with a lot of fuzzy, fine, fibers of the rug. However, the vacuum worked well on heavier machine made rugs.

This was a great vacuum for my needs. I use it in my kitchen and bathrooms once or twice a week. This morning I noticed the brush no longer spun, so I tried to take it apart to clean the hair off the roller. It was impossible to take apart without my power drill because the screws were tightened too much in the factory. Im pretty sure the motor that powers the brush is burnt out, and the cost to replace just that part is ¾ of what I paid for the whole vacuum.

Very disappointed. Brush roller quit working the first 5 minutes in use. Suction power on hard floor was ok but I would not recommend this for carpet - even low carpet it did not pick up - probably due to the brush roller not working.

I am so happy I bought The Bissell Featherweight Power Brush. The suction is strong and the vacuum is definitely powerful lifting dirt up. I am happy with this product and I would buy it again or buy for a gift or XMas gift. Deborah, Floridai

It is light weight but you are better off spending more money and getting something that will last and do a better job. I bought it for stair wells and it doesnt have enough power for that

I was looking for a lightweight stick vacuum that would be easy to carry up the narrow and steep stairs of our late 1800s house to the 2 upper bedrooms. So far this one fits the bill! Its lightweight but performs very well on hardwood floors and area rugs. Love the handheld vac feature too. Please dont be fooled by the buy all 3 gimmick like I was. The replacement filters dont fit and I dont believe the other filter type is even needed. The filter that comes with the vacuum washes up easily and nicely when needed.
