Bissell, 3061 Featherweight Cordless Stick Vacuum, Self-Standing, Electric Blue, Black

Great, light weight, easy to use vacuum. It is a good size, stands up to store, easy to charge, good quality, nice size. I looked at so many of these stick vacuums and settled on the Bissel. The name brand of vacuums and cleaners is good to trust. The description is very good. It comes nearly ready to go out of the box with just a few clicks to be up and running. It has surprising very good suction, quite easy to dump out the debris and clean. It runs about 40 min on a charge and easy to clean multiple surfaces from wood like floors, throw rugs, area rug and back to tile without changing out parts. Light and easy to move around and the hand held vacume works well too. Do yourself a favor and don't fret that it only comes with one easy to clean collection filter, buy a couple of the reusable replacement filters that you can see of customers also bought with this item. They fit the vacuum and work fine. The reusable filter will last a while and is fast and easy to clean and continue using.

I have 4 dachshunds, 4 cats and only one room with carpet so I use this daily. I love this because of the “Dustbuster” feature. I can pop it off the stick and use it to vacuum furniture and corners very easily. It works on floors as well.. it’s a great for a little quickie clean-up after dinner and sucks up quite a bit of fur. The battery lasts about a half hour run time, which works for me. I am on my third one in 4 years. I beat the crap out of the plastic screw to clean the brush head out on the first one, but that lasted 2 years. As for the second one, “someone” didn’t pop the Dustbuster part back on the stick correctly so I broke locking mechanism trying to get if off. Overall a GREAT everyday clean up vacuum. I’m very happy with it!

I had this vacuum for 2 years before it just stopped turning on. Before it died, it would make a scary loud noise while vacuuming. The handheld piece will turn on and continue to vacuum, but unfortunately the stick won't turn on and won't charge anymore, which makes the handheld piece useless since there is no way to charge it without the stick.That said, it was a fairly happy 2 years. The vacuum was very effective on my tile floors, picking up lots of cat hair and some dust every day, as well as the crumbs my kids drop everywhere. The brush won't spin on a carpet, so you have to vacuum it without the spinning brush. It will pick up the dust from a carpet, but not as effectively as it does on the floor. Hair does get tangled around the brush, which requires frequent cleaning. And if you're not on top of removing it often, it will mess up the spinning of the brush eventually. It would be nice to have a light the way the Levoit does, so you can aim directly at the dust on the floor. But I just got the Levoit as my replacement, so I can't recommend it just yet. I prefer leaving reviews until after I've had a product for some time.What I can say is that this Bissel is great short term, it's a great budget vacuum for an apartment with pets and kids, not a carpeted apartment though. And I LOVE the inverted bend for under tables (which I am missing in my levoit). But I don't know that you can expect it to last more than two years.

This is the best vacuum I have ever owned. I am 69 yrs old. I've been through my share of vacuums. My home is all hard floors. I don' sweep anymore. I used to sweep, then vacuum up the pile. I use this and it is amazing. The reason I bought it is because I do own a small, corded Bissel. It has great suction, but I like the ease of using a cordless. This one is light, sucks up dirt great, and I can walk over and grab the small vac from it to pick up small messes. I do have a somewhat large rug that I use it on also. It sucks up what dirt gets in it. I am not disappointed with this vacuum. It made my housework much easier.

We purchased this vacuum on July 3, 2021. We chose this one because of the reviews, the light weight aspect, the features, and because it was cordless. We also bought into the "helping animals" marketing. On August 31, 2022 it did not turn on. We have maintained the equipment, changed filters, etc as the user manual directed. We have engineered hard wood (vinyl plank) throughout our home. We called the product support line provided by Amazon today, September 10, 2022.First representative- Gathered our information, did some trouble shooting, informed us we were out of guarantee (waranty) and that the best he could do was 20% off a new unit. We would have to pay shipping and there was no option for extended protection. The unit would take 1- 2 weeks to arrive at our home. Total cost would be around $120. We asked him to tell us why we should buy another Bissell if it was going to die right after the warranty period. He just kept reiterating that because we were outside the warranty, he could offer 20% off a new unit. We asked to be transferred to sales based on the assumption that a sales person might be better versed in reliability and if this was a frequent problem. He was pleasant enough, just very script focused. Duration of this call segment: 5- 10 minutes.Second representative- Asks for all our information AGAIN and is unable to understand us even when we spelled things out such as "E as in Echo". Getting our address correct took over 5 minutes. We explain that our vacuum died, we had already done troubleshooting, the other rep offered us 20% off a new unit, but that we wanted to know why we should purchase a Bissell product again if it was just going to die right outside warranty. He started looking up other products. He suggested a corded vacuum that was suitable for carpet and also $400! We specified that we were not looking for other products and definitely not spending $400 on a vacuum that wouldn't work for us. He responded "But that has a 2 year guarantee". He then wasted 10 more minutes of our lives reexplaining that our unit was out of warranty (we know) and if we want that one he can offer 20% off (we know) and that we also have to pay for shipping. We asked for a supervisor. Duration of this call segment: 25- 30 mins.Supervisor- We had to wait on hold roughly 5 minutes, so not bad at all for a weekend. The supervisor answers and sounds pissed off. "Who am I speaking to? What is it you want?" They have a non American accent, so we chalk it up to differences in grammar, not rudeness. We were wrong. We very briefly explain the issue. "Our vacuum is just out of warranty and died. We're being offered 20% off a new unit, but we're not sure we want to spend over $100 on a vacuum just to do it again in a year. Is this a common problem? Do your vacuums just make it through the warranty period and then die?" We could hear a small dog loosing it's yappy mind and a young (toddler?) aged child sing shrieking in the background. It was loud enough she was difficult to hear. We missed the first sentence or so and were able to hear "... Warranty was 2 years and expired in March (both these things are untrue) so 20% is a gift!" "No, it was a 1 year warranty and expired in July. Are you looking at the right customer?" *she starts yelling angrily*"I know what I'm doing and you waited 4 months to call. Your warranty expired in March! What do you want?!?" "So we're going to go ahead and take our money to a different company, thanks." We hung up. Duration of this call segment: 5- 10 minutes real time, 6 hours yelling, yapping, shriek singing time.We went to look up the corporate address to send a letter and found 4 on Google. We called the customer service line again.I gave my name and said I just wanted to corporate mailing address. Nothing complicated, just the address. She asked to place me on hold, but forgot to mute or actually place me on hold. I could hear her typing furiously for about 5 minutes. She came back and asked "Why you want the address?" "I would like to send them a letter. I have 4 address in different locations and I wanted to make sure I sent it to the correct one. Or sometimes companies have post office boxes or something they prefer customers use." "Well what addresses do you have?" "You... I.... You can't just give me the mailing address?" "No. What addresses do you have?" At this point I got suspicious and said "I have one in South Korea, one in Chicago, and two in Michigan." "Grand Rapids is right." "I have two though, one is 2345 Walker (true) and the other is 1200 Walker (false). Which is correct?" "They both work. Grand Rapids." "Wow... Thanks I guess." and hung up. So customer service can't even get an address right.Overall it was a fantastic vacuum, until it wasn't. Get the extended protection or probably plan on shelling out $100- 200 a year to replace it when it dies a month or two out of warranty. I would not this for anyone on a fixed income as it just adds to your expenses.TL/DR: Works great until the warranty is up. Then doesn't and customer service is useless. Get the extra protection or pay every year.
