  Great Vaccum with cool upholstery

  My 3 year old dirtdevil Vacuum cleaner gave up and I headed to the research room on Amazon to consider a replacement. After extensive research I zeroed in on this and Hoover 5507-900. Hoover was more expensive and did not have the tools and upholstery available on this Vacuum. I still had my doubts on Bissell hence I headed to Target to check the Vacuum myself. I was impressed with what I saw and I ordered this on Amazon.Out of the box this Vacuum was very easy to assemble and quite user friendly. The motor was very powerful and it cleaned the dirt from the carpet with ease. It also had adjustable knob for power variation and had one for bare-floor surfaces. The dirt container was very easy to replace and the extra dusting brush with extension wand made hard to reach places very easy to clean. Whats more this vacuum worked like charm on my Vacuum storage bags. It removed the air out of the bag in 30 seconds flat.I would definitely recommend this Vacuum cleaner... 5/5 Venkateswaran Tarakad (Matawan, NJ) - See all my reviews, September 24, 2009

  It passed the Black Sofa Test

  The vacuum just came in. I took it out of the box, and it took all of two minutes to assemble. I ran it over the rugs of my two-bedroom apartment and it picked up everything in its path. I noticed the tank needed to be dumped more than my Hoover Wind Tunnel, but it's a good trade-off, because once the bottom of the Wind Tunnel's tank got full, it just gave up.What I was really looking to give it--being a pet owner--was the extreme test on my black, cloth, sofa. Unlike other vacuum's that come with a nozzle surrounded by brushes that just seem to push the pet hair around, this comes with a turbo brush, which is like a mini version of the vacuum's main turbo brush. It cleaned off the sofa in minutes and left it spotless.I know it's new, so as to how it wears, I can't tell you. But, I normally can tell within a few minutes whether I've spent well, or spent bad.I would say this was money well spent. 5/5 W. A. H.

  Decent value

  I wanted a second cleaner so that I wouldn't have to lug a machine between floors. This fits the bill as an upright and performs well. The vacuum hose is so short that it's a joke. I tried to use the attachments once and its a waste of time. In addition, dirt was exhausted from the storage port for the hose. Unbelieveable! The handle is nothing but a cheap piece of molded plastic. The electical cord is attached to the middle of the machine, as is the on/off switch. This results in a lot of stooping to turn the cleaner on or off and you must hold the cord, else you will step on it.The vacuum has 3 filters, two of which can be cleaned with soap and water. After a month the HEPA filter shows no accumulation and will not need replacement for a long time. The filtering system is efficient - there is no evidence that any dirt is returned to the room.Since everything that is sucked up is visible frequent emptying and filter cleaned is encouraged. A good thing. Bottom... 3/5 Paul R. Herholz Jr. (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews, November 21, 2009

  My favorite house-cleaning tool.

  I have used this every day for years (I can't remember how many--but at least four years). I recently bought a new one only because I was afraid of scratching my floors due to the rollers not turning as well as they had before. I moved the old one down to my basement work area, and use the new one in the main living areas.I have three dogs (previously four) and two house rabbits, all of whom go through times of heavy shedding. During those times I sometimes vacuum certain areas twice a day. There has never been any maintenance problem with this vacuum cleaner. The suction is strong enough for me to do my rag rugs and area rugs, and the rollers don't scratch my wood floors. It's easy on my back, conveniently converts to a hand vac, and is easy to take out and use at a moment's notice (no tedious unwinding of long cord).One reviewer did write that this vacuum is hard to clean. I clean mine by dumping the bulk of the debris into the trash, then vacuuming the... 5/5 Ruth Henriquez Lyon (Duluth, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews, July 28, 2010

  It Does Suck...

  and that's a good thing... i have this model, a 3106-1 - the Bissell Featherweight Bagless, and a very similar model from the same manufacturer (both are made in China), the 38B1-3 - the Bissell 3-in-1 Vac...these are nearly identical and cost exactly the same locally and on-line... i say 'nearly identical,' as they weigh the same, have the same length cord, share the same ergonomics (handle, cord storage, assembly, emptying, etc.), and similar suction...rest assured that this model will work just as well, if not better than the 3-in-1... but here are the differences:- this model has a 1.2A motor, whereas the 3-in-1 has a 2A motor - nod to 3-in-1- both models come with a crevice tool, as does the 3-in-1 - even score- this model has an opaque canister, so you cannot see how much dirt has been vac'd, whereas the 3-in-1 is translucent - nod to 3-in-1 - one star off on my review- both models are easy to empty - even... 3/5 willie "roadie" (pineapple park, FL, USA) - See all my reviews, October 1, 2010

  Bissell 21K3 Vacuum

  After owning Eurekas for over 30 years, I decided to try this Bissell when my latest Eureka died. I did quite a bit of research and liked many of the features for this machine. I also liked the pricetag of $99.99. The main selling point for me was the "extra long power cord". I live in a medium-small apartment and the cord on my last two Eurekas was just about 3 feet too short. The cord on this Bissell is at least 5 feet SHORTER than that. The suction is fine; as you'd expect from any brand new vacuum but the dust cup is quite small and needed to be emptied several times (like, 5 or 6) while I was vacuuming my apartment. With my old Eureka, I just emptied it when I was finished with the job. We do have three cats that contribute to the problem. My favorite thing about this Bissell is the handle on the hose. It detaches very easily and the extension wand is handy and clicks in place.I'd say, if you don't have pets and you don't mind changing outlets mid-job and... 3/5 L.

  Low Price, Good Features

  Good power; light weight; tools very good; washable filters; I am very impressed with the value of this unit, and was completely grossed-out by what I saw in the filter; the point being, it stayed in the filter! I have been using vacuum cleaners for over 30 years, and find this one to be an excellent value, and very easy to use. 5/5 P. Michael Husselbee (USA) - See all my reviews, January 17, 2010

  Awesome for pet hair!

  This is a great vacuum. I don't have much carpet, but after seeing how much I picked up on the rug I vacuumed the whole house on the bare floor setting. The hose is also super easy to use and great for getting the hair in the tight spaces between the kitchen table and chair legs. I have two large dogs and keeping my floors clean is so much easier. Also, the visual reminder of how much I'm collecting is a real incentive to vacuum more frequently. 5/5 Kirsten "Kirsten" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Good choice for small areas/hard floors; bagged versions also available

  I needed a very compact vac to use mainly in the bathroom to clean up after haircuts. I've been using a cordless model but lacked the power to get the job done to my satisfaction. So, the hunt began for a compact corded model.I looked at several hand-held units that offered a hose attachment. But, while they would have been fine for counter top work, I would have had to crouch or kneel down to get the floor done. Stick brooms would work fine on the floor, but didn't have the attachments for counter work.That left a canister. I have several other Bissell products that have worked well, so thought I'd give the Zing a shot. Overall, it's an excellent product considering the price. The suction power is outstanding - I'd put it on a par with my Panasonic cannister vac that cost much, much more. In fact, the suction is a little too good - it will easily suck up hair cutting attachments if you're not careful. Zero complaints in terms of power.No complaints... 4/5 Comdet - See all my reviews, April 17, 2011

  The floor attachment needs a better design

  I'll start by saying this vacuum is NOT for carpets, period. It doesn't have any kind of beater bar and doesn't glide over carpet at all. I got this to do quick post-toddler dinner clean ups. The vacuum unit itself has a good design and plenty of suction. It is lightweight and would be great to carry around using the hose itself to clean nooks and crannies, but this ability is limited to nooks and crannies since it is blatantly missing a drapery or upholstery attachment. After going across my hardwood floors it sucked up quite a bit of dirt and lint & I didn't think my floors were that dirty. My complaint is that the floor attachment needs to be redesigned, which is too bad because it's primarily why I bought this unit. The part that slides accross the floor is maybe 8 inches wide or so, but really only the middle maybe 2 inches has a hole for suction. The rest of it doesn't, well, suck. There's not even an opening for it. I'm not sure why the thing is even 8 inches wide, it could... 3/5 Katie Kate "Kate" - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Great lightweight vacuum

  I am a young bachelor who hates vacuuming and hates schlepping a vacuum up the spiral staircase to the third floor. This little vacuum made both of those activities relatively painless. It is extremely lightweight but still sucks well (in layman's terms) on both carpet and hardwood floors. It also doesn't take up much closet space. The only fault I can find with this vacuum is that there is no place to clip on the one alternate attachment, but it's a very minor issue. I would heartily recommend this vacuum to anyone, but especially to housework-haters like myself, college students, and elderly or petite people looking for a very lightweight, easily portable vacuum. 5/5 Anonymous - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  The Art of One Handed Vacuuming.

  Starting this review off, I want to say this is a must have for hard wood floors (linoleum, kitchen, tile etc). Think having a vacuum in the house is a necessary appliance? This vacuum is a must have addition that is limited to only hard floors. Oh yea, this does rugs too. With this, there is no need for a broom.Usually when you think of using a regular house vacuum in , say, the kitchen, you picture hauling a 15 pound machine as it bulldozes its way around corners and tables, just to get those little pieces of crumbs and dirt off the floor. What is different with the 4 pound PowerEdge is there is no 'hauling', there is only 'lifting'--which can be done with one finger.With lightweight vacuums (trust me I had a 100$ one that doubled as a dustbuster), you think low suction, and a device that sits more than it gets put to use. Not an issue with the PowerEdge. It seems to have the power of a heavy duty vacuum without the size (the suction actually pulls the... 5/5 Canis Majoris - See all my reviews, February 11, 2011

  Great vac - but not for wood floors.

  I bought this vac and owned it just a few days and returned it. It is an excellent design and has superior suction but is not good for wood floors as the brush roll has no shutoff. That means when you're using the attachments or vacuuming wood floors, the brush roll is on and spinning. If the vac is on, the brushroll is on. Silly, really. Why spin the brushes on hardwood? Sure I could adjust the height adjustment but it's still silly to risk damage to your wood floors. Even Hoover's manual says "For optimal cleaning performance on bare floors, brushroll should be turned off." (Suction only mode only available on select models).I rather pay more for a vacuum that has the ability to turn that off - and I did - I bought it's "brother" the hoover Windtunnel "PET" UH70210 which has 3 additional features.

  I have had a Bissell vacuum and I love it. After about an year of use, the belt started to slip, so I bought these belts and new filters and changed them. The vacuum is as good as new. 5/5 Kerblink (Maryland) - See all my reviews This review is from: BISSELL Stlye 7/9/10 Replacement Belts, 2 pk, 32074 (Kitchen) I have had a Bissell vacuum and I love it.

  Change the belt!

  Belt fits perfectly. Beater bar runs like new. I recomend, as soon as it starts to slip...change the belt, it will give the vacuum the best chance to operate the way it should and save frustration for you. I might even do it by time. Put a new belt on, if it starts to slip in two years, then next time in 20 months + or - put a new one on and save the headache of planning on running the vacuum to get ready for guests, etc. and finding out you have to stop and do that! Also, take that cue to clean the beater bar, hoses, filters, etc. Simply cleaning all the junk out will make your vac seem brand new. The older Bissell that my wife bought a while ago works great, but looks like something out of a Mad Max movie, with a thousand little nooks & crannies for hair and pen tops and pieces of plastic bag to get caught in. Before you buy a new one...take it apart, clean it out and put a new belt on. The belts are cheap! 5/5 J. Gardner "Reeboy" (N.J.) - See all my reviews, February 22, 2010

  Horrible ruined my vacuum

  I purchased this as a replacement for belt 9 #32074. Snapped, started smoking after 2 minutes of use and left rubber particles all over my house. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE REPLACEMENT FOR BELT 9. When I removed the brush the dowel had actually melted! Burned melted plastic would not even allow for a replacement. 1/5 Chris - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Little sucker could suck a golfball thru a garden hose

  This little sucker is unbelievable. The power is fantastic, the torque from the motor actually makes the vacuum jump in your hand when you flip the on switch.I have a couch in my basement that is the favorite place for my two cats to sleep. The couch had so much hair on it that the couch looked grey instead of purple. I spent 5 minutes with the pet hair eraser and the couch was literally hair free. The rubber attachment on the front works way better than motorized brushes that quickly clog with hair.The only thing I don't like about it is that it is a little loud, but I guess with power comes a little extra noise. I love this little vac, why pay all that money for a Dyson when this little guy works great!Edit: The one and only thing I don't like about the vac is the way the air coming out of the unit sometimes blows the hair into the air if you're not careful how you position the machine while you use it. Although considering how much air this... 5/5 Erick Van De Burg "F'ing pissed" (Holland, MI United States) - See all my reviews, November 20, 2008

  Awesome little vacuum

  I was shocked at how well this thing works. I used my upright vacuum on my stairs first then went over them again with the the Bissell and could not believe how much dog and cat hair it got up so I moved to my sofa which has always been hard to get the hair off and it worked like a charm. It has alot of power for such a small vacuum. 5/5 Mortisha (Virginia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  LOVE THIS LITTLE HAND VAC

  I love this little vac. It has a rubber front that catches the hair so that the powerful suction can pull it into the bagless container. Best of all, this is an electric hand vac so no recharging and always ready to go. It works great on sofas and chairs as well as carpeted stairs.I have two long haired cats and 1 dog so there's lots of animal fur. 5/5 A.

  Bissell No 7 Filter

  My upright vac was beginning to blow some foul odors. When I removed the old filter it was dirty and brown. Time to replace the post-motor HEPA filter.The new Filter arrived in good condition and was a genuine Bissell. The filter is sturdy and should last a while.Before replacing the HEPA filter, I cleaned the air outlet with a sanitizing wipe. A quick change and the vac is as good as new.Be sure to clean the other two "sponge type" filters (if your vac has them) for peak performance. 5/5 Larry (Lilburn, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews, June 12, 2009

  Receive a "Crucial" brand filter that does not fit.

  Apparently, from the reviews and images posted for this product, not everyone is receiving the same product. I received two "Crucial Vacuum" branded filters when I ordered this item (Bissell HEPA Media Filter, 32076).As noted in the review of the Crucial filters, , these filters are notably short (~1.8mm). Numerically, this may seem like a small difference in tolerances, but it allows a significant amount of air leakage through these gaps. 1/5 E.

  Works great!

  I hadn't realized that I needed to change this filter frequently. I was cleaning the other filters and emptying and washing the canister that collected the main dust and debris. The vacuum was still sucking up a lot of stuff, but the HEPA filtration didn't seem to be working. I ordered this product, which came within a few days, and easily replaced it (make sure you have it facing in the correct direction). Instant success! I will replace it more often now, but probably not at the recommended 6 month intervals because my vacuum is not used as much as most and the house is small. 5/5 S.

To vacuum wood floor without brush. - Brush automatically turns off when unit is at upright position. Save brush and carpet wear-and-tear when using attachments. - Furniture protection rubber guard.Nice-to-have features, but not absolutely needed: - Pet brush. "Pet" model means unit come with a Turbo Pet Brush attachment. Pet brush has rubber claws, which grab hair as you rake the surface of carpet or sofa. It is somewhat useful, but not to die for.

  So What Do I Really think?

  Our old Dirt Devil upright started giving off some burning smells (not the brush belt) a couple of weeks ago, so we decided to start looking around for a replacement. We have a two story house, so something to effectively vacuum the stairs without purchasing two units would be nice. Oh, and under $200 please. Dyson's are cute, but $500 is over the top for such a basic device. That led us eventually to Bissell's two lift-off canister units, the Revolution and this one, the MultiCyclonic design.Initially, I couldn't tell the difference between the two models. Then, another reviewer pointed out the two "wings" on the side of the dirt container on the Revolution model that one customer accidentally threw its two inserts out with the dirt, only to render his vacuum useless the next time he tried to use it. That narrowed it down to the MultiCyclonic for us. The Revolution also has an additional foam filter to be cleaned in its top section, which the MultiCyclonic doesn't... 5/5 Paul D.

  Great Vacuum

  I bought this vacuum after my old Bissell died. So far I have been pretty impressed with it. The canister lift off feature is great for cleaning stairs or vacuuming your car. I was a little skeptical about the pet hair turbo attachment but it actually worked very well. I have two long haired cats (Maine Coons, so there's a lot of fur!) and the turbo brush attachment got up pet fur from places I had just vacuumed with my previous machine! It is a bagless canister, and if you've ever had a vacuum like that you know it can get messy. It doesn't seem any worse than any other bagless I've had though. As long as you empty them out before getting too full its not a big deal.Another feature that I really like is that you can turn the brushes off with a separate switch; there is a power switch and a brush switch. It is nice to be able to turn off brushes if you are trying to pick up debris on a bare floor (cat litter) and if you are using the wand attachments.I gave the... 4/5 Erin R.
