Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this vacuum after reading the great reviews about it on amazon. I needed a vacuum that really worked and was best at getting pet hair out of carpets. I live in military housing, which means inheriting carpets that many other families and their pets have lived with prior to myself living there. I have a four month old, so it was paramount that he have a clean floor to play on. Well, this vacum does excacly what it guarantees. The suction is wonderful; the size of the machine itself is great..not too cumbersome (and I'm a petite lady), it has many parts to use; and is easy to clean; and is also good for cleaning couches and vehicles. I love this vacuum period. It really does clean. If you think your floor is already clean, buy this and you will see that it wasn't. You will be surprised as I was to see the amount of filth that was in the carpet. This vacuum was worth the hundred dollars I spent and then some.Customer Review: Worst Vacuum Ever!!

Please, read the following review, you won't regret it unless you decide to buy the Momentum. The engineers who designed this need to go back to school. I usually don't bother writing reviews. Considering the fact that I bought this product due to the positive reviews on Amazon, I felt I owed it to Amazon shoppers to share my experience. As most reviewers said, it is easy to assemble. It vacuums well enough but after three uses, dust built up on the backside of the vacuum. The removable bin has a wide mouth and it is SHALLOW - if you plan on emptying it AND keeping your freshly vacuumed floor clean, move the vacuum OUTSIDE before you remove the bin. If you ever plan to use the hose attachment, make sure you wear a helmet and steel toed shoes. It WILL NOT stand up on its own when you are using the hose. To use the hose you must remove one end of the hose from a very tight fitting connection and when you replace it, you must MAKE SURE you've attached it firmly or you will end up tossing dirt from the floor into the air.
I've owned several vacuums in my life. I've owned Hoovers, Dirt Devils, Eurekas and now a Bissel. Out of all of the vacuums I've owned, the Bissel is hands down the worst vacuum out of all of them. Hoovers last a long time, Dirt Devils do a good job for a year or two. In my opinion Eurekas are the most well designed vacuums I've ever owned. I am hard on vacuums and my last Eureka lasted five years. The only reason it was deemed "dead" was because it was dropped very hard, on its side and though it still works, the switch gets hot. Since I wasn't willing to see exactly how hot it would get, I bought the Bissell.
I am usually the type of person that buys something and even if it has short comings, I live with it. I couldn't live with the Bissell, I packed it up, put the packing slip and RMA in the box, attached the label and mailed the lousy 'sucker' back. I've since purchased my third Eureka, The Boss SmartVac, and I love it. It cleans the carpet well (outperformed Dyson by 60% according to ASTM Test F608 vs. Dyson DC07 & Consumer Digest Best Buy). I should mention, I no longer need a helmet and a pair of steel toed boots to vacuum. One of the coolest things about the Eureka is the hose. It is SO convenient - all you do is turn a knob and the suction power goes to the hose. It may not be bagless but frankly, I really would rather have all that dust in a bag than in a bin.
I hope this helps you in making your decision. Don't let the volume of positive ratings fool you, I did and I regretted it. If you want a vacuum that won't make you absolutely dread vacuuming, I suggest you look for something other than the Bissell Momentum.
Customer Review: Can't Beat it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've spent as much as $300 on vacuum cleaners in the past, but NONE have matched this one.
I was hesitant at first, because of the price.
I know I've spent much more and been dissatisfied.
After reading the reviews I decided to try it and I'm so glad I did.
It maneuvers easily, and glides across the carpet without using all your strength.
Suction is remarkable.
Highly recommended!!!

I love our new vacuum. It does a superior job of cleaning and I really like that I can actually see how well it is working because I can look right into the bagless area to see what is being picked up.
