Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: brush belt melt down after not more than ten time uses
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought it a few months ago and after not more than ten times uses (just for vacuum a regular size house), the brush belt melt down. I opened the bottom cover and found out it is very hot around the belt area and the motor axis is extremely hot. It was used in the CA ocean side area; the environment temperature is not high. So it means the design of this product has serious problem. Just image how many belt you have to replace it if it keep melting out in this kind of speed?). My old vacuum cleaner still works without any maintenance so far after nearly 10 year use.Customer Review: bissell 3990
Summary: 2 Stars
sweeper arrived quickly & somewhat easy to put together. worked well for several months, clogged up a few times and unfortunately swept up loose edge of rug & beater bar belt broke, replaced belt w/non-manufacturer belt & have had problems since; smell of burning rubber & now beater will not roll on carpeting. does not work as well on bare wood floors as i had hoped. overall, below average in my book.Customer Review: Good power, but has a high pitched screech
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this vacuum when my 3yr old Eureka Contour made such a loud high pitched screech that it gave me a throbbing headache. This Bissell was advertised as a cheaper version of a Dyson. Since the Dyson is way out of my price range I thought this would be a good option.
I was impressed by the power. Instead of putting muscle into pushing and pulling the vacuum I only have to pull. The Bissell practically propels itself forward. It does pick up a lot of dog hair. I have a constantly shedding beagle and this does the trick. I especially like the brush attachment to pick up dog fur on my microfiber couch. I noticed there are a lot of carpet fibers in the container, but that may be due to the age of my carpet.
Over all I am satisfied with this Bissell model. However, right out of the box it made a high pitch screech. It makes this noise whether or not the brush is moving. It isn't nearly as bad as the Eureka was. This combined with the fact I can't afford another vacuum leaves me with this Bissell. It does not give me a splitting headache, just an annoying whine . When I'm done vacuuming the world seems so quiet!
I would think twice before paying such a high price for this vacuum cleaner.
Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been very satisfied with mine. It was easy to assemble; I put it together and before I knew it, I had vacuumed the entire house. I couldn't put it away. The container where the dirt goes couldn't be any more convenient or simple to use. The hose connection works great as well and all of the utensils are readily available on the unit.Customer Review: WORST vacuum cleaner EVER
Summary: 1 Stars
This is by far the WORST vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. The hose gets clogged all the time, which means you have to clean it out every other month or so - otherwise it will pick up nothing. And this vacuum is not even a year old!
Now the brush underneath no longer works (it no longer spins and picks up anything) so you can literally sit it on top of a big pile of lint or dust and it will do nothing whatsoever. Roll it over it a million times, leave it sit for 5 minutes, nothing at all. Vacuuming a room that should take 10 minutes takes more like 30-35 minutes because it takes forever to get it to pick up anything. It is highly aggravating and frustrating.
I will never, ever, ever purchase a Bissell product again. I am extremely upset that I paid nearly $150 for this piece of trash. Trust me, spare yourself the aggravation and do not buy this product.
