Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Bissell 3990
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the vac based on all the other reviews. When new vac arrived-
there we 2 small plastic pieces broke and the front cover over brushes had a small crack which was very disappointing.
When I assembled and went to use vac- it was everything I had heard. It picked up stuff my other vac would have never had. So the power and suction is amazing (I have a large pet).
Unfortunately when I proceed to take out bagless canister to empty- the dirt and dust went everywhere. It turned out that 2 small plastic pieces where the "hooks " that kept the cylinder in place. Because the cylinder did not stay in place- there was not a good suction therefore all the dirt came out when I went to remove cylinder. I think this is a poor design when the concept is pending on 2 small plastic hooks to keep all in place.
Called Bissell and they could not send me a part. I was sent to a local vac shop to have them repair.
I only used it twice and it worked great BUT there is a huge design flaw due to all the plastic parts.
Wish I could say I am using it right now but it is in the shop.
Hope this review helps someone else who is doubting all the plastic parts. Glad I did not spend a fortune on Dyson... it is all plastic parts. At the Vac shop I saw more used Dyson than other brands.
Customer Review: Good Buy indeed.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful cleaner indeed. Sucks dirt like nobody's business. I have carpet on the 2nd and hardwood on the 1st. floor. This vaccum does the job very well in both. On Carpet, it was did a fantastic job of puling dirt out. Downright amazing suction. My earlier Uno(Eureka) vaccum was terrible on hardwood flooring and needed multiple belt replacements on top. The Bissel is much much better and it doesn't fling dirt at your ankles when vaccuming hardwood. A little heavy, but small price to pay for the functionality at hand. Has a wide cleaning path, which makes cleaning easy; the downside is that its hard to take it into foot-wide nooks. Yes it can tip when you use the wand to clean...but nothing that cannot be explained or mitigated by physics and common sense.
Overall, good value and highly recommended.
Customer Review: Dirt and Hair Hog!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have pets, and they have hair - this vacuum cleaner works! It's easy to empty, easy to keep clean. It's a little heavy, and it does NOT self-propel, but then again, a self-propelling vacuum has an extra belt that can slip and break. It works well on bare floors, with the brush in the up position, and the little hand help power brush really gets the hair off furniture. I researched many and for the money - this is a great choice.Customer Review: dont get it

I see a lot of good reviews on this Bissell vacuum cleaner but mine hasn't worked properly since day one. I had new carpeting which shed. The shedding constantly gets clogged in the machine and it doesn't pick up anything anymore. Mainly pushes stuff as said in prior reviews. So aggravating that I have actually parked it (until I decide what to buy next) and now I use my shop vac which works 100x better and was only $40. Customer Review: Heavy Handle
Summary: 3 Stars
The vacuum works well, but the handle is heavy, thus it's harder to push around than my last Bissell vacuum.
