Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 5 Stars
The vac was easy to assemble & seems to be doing a pretty good job. It's a bit heavy, but I expected that. Only time that is a problem is when I'm doing steps, but otherwise it isn't a big deal. Does well on carpeted & bare floors. The vac arrived quickly & at a great price.Customer Review: Good Suction
Summary: 4 Stars
Let's see ... where to start? I believe the description said something about a 3-position handle. Mine has 2: all the way up, or you're holding the entire weight of the vacuum in your hands. There are no position stops for my handle. I read thru the entire book and practiced taking out & putting in the filters immediately so I'd know what to do once the parts become dirty and gross to touch. Well, before I could even plug it in & vac for the first time, the thing was broken! One of the cheap plastic tips broke as I was trying to put back in the cyclonic suction thing in the center! I called Bissell and they were great to send a new one immediately. So, except for having to hold up the vacuum in addition to the push/pull action (sometimes it feels quite heavy), I have no further complaints. It works well for what it is intended to do ... suck the junk off my carpet. Oh, and the hose & cord are quite long. I can plug in in one spot and vacuum the entire floor (townhouse)on each level. Also, the hose takes the nozzle all the way to the top of my stairs. So, there is minimal readjusting to get each floor done.Customer Review: Pretty Good, Few Problems
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent a lot of time choosing a vacuum. It seems like every one has a few drawbacks, and you just have to decide which ones you can live with. I have had this one for 3 months now. This one is amazing on rugs! I just have to be careful around the edges so I don't suck the area rugs up. My rugs have never looked cleaner.
It does a decent job on my wood floors and tile, but I definately need to switch to the hose to get the edges and corners. I also have to use the hose to pick up larger items off the floor.
The hose is very powerful and does a great job, but the extension is a joke. I was so excited, because it seemed as if I could keep the vacuum at the bottom of the stairs and just take the hose with me. The hose is very stiff, and doesn't extend the way I thought it would. It comes apart from the vacuum unit if you stretch it too far, or the vacuum just falls over. I have hit myself in the back or the head a few times, but I just laugh and pull the vacuum closer. Don't get this vacuum on the preconception that the hose is great.
The canister is really easy to empty and so is the filter. I have no issues with that at all.
It's a really nice vacuum. The only issues are with the hose and the fact that it's not as amazing on the floors as it is on the rugs. Great price too!
Customer Review: Works great

There is not much to say about this -- it is a vacuum cleaner. It seems to work great and it is easy to empty out the dirt. It was also pretty easy to put together.Customer Review: Worth the money, really sucks!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
So far we are very pleased with this product. The first one we received was damaged but Amazon made the exchange VERY easy. The on board tools are great and the suction is AWESOME. It was amazing and gross what our other vacuume had been leaving behind. My only complaint is that it is a little top heavy, but this is something we can easily live with.
