Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
Customer Review: great for a little vac
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking and looking for a good, lightweight, corded vacuum without a pleated filter (they are stupidly difficult to clean) and with some sucking power to use between weekly cleanings with the big canister vacuum. I tried the Dirt Devil Lite but it was clunky and noisy. The Bissell Versus Bare Floor vac was difficult to maneuver, heavier than expected, and the "V technology" was not sucking dust out of corners- horrible in medium to small spaces. So i tried this Bissell Featherweight and it works very well for furry dust bunnies, kitty litter, lawn debris and food bits. My floors start getting furry within minutes after I clean (thanks to my 2 kats) and I need an easy, lightweight vac for daily dust bunny wrangling. This little vacuum does the trick.
The cons:
The cord is very short even for a small house.
You must click open the dust cup over a waste basket to empty.
Light weight dust particles and fur collect on the filter, not in the dust cup so you need to use your hands to clean it after each use. The good news it you can rinse the filter gently with water when necessary.
The exhaust in the back seems to kick up some dust and fur but not to the point where it escapes the vacuum.
Not for serious rug cleaning or heavy duty house cleaning
Pros
Lightweight
Very easy to use
Great on bare floors
Gets under furniture easily (better than my regular vacuum)
Sucking power is very good (not sure why some reviews suggest otherwise unless they got a lemon)
Very affordable
Easy to store since it is small
The key is to use it as intended, for between cleanings, lightweight work - not heavy duty.
Customer Review: Not What I expected
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this vacuum to use mainly on stairs and for light duty since my bigger vacuum was too big for stairs etc... The vacuum does not suck well at all. Would not recommend this item.Customer Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this vaccum about a month ago from Amazon and have used it 3-4 times. I use it for non-carpet area like kitchen, bathrooms, etc. (I have separate one for carpet) and I dont have pets.
Things I love abt it -
It has very good suction power... serves the purpose very well... the crevise tool is amazing.... it is super light weight, so easy to move around in small spaces... easy to clean the dustpan after use.... can be used to clean the car also, very handy.
Plus the 25$ price is very less for a full blown stick vaccum... some of the electric boorms/vacs are costlier than it with much less power and no attachments.
Customer Review: Lightweight yes - worth it - maybe not
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this item for a year. I've actually pulled it out maybe a dozen times.
Yes it is lightweight which is one of the reasons I purchased it. I needed something to get bird seed off my carpet between heavy cleanings. This does not do it. Nor does it work on feathers. As a matter of fact, I don't have good luck with it picking anything up on carpet unless you go over it a lot and use lots of pressure. Sometimes it's faster to just pick up the little thing.
I have to agree with others - it just kinda pushes larger things around. I'm here today looking for a replacement cuz I think this one is going to Good Will.
Customer Review: Not a magic broom, but almost!

This is a great product! Handy for getting crumbs up in a hurry with little effort! Also picks up very well when used on small area rugs. I highly recommend it!
