BISSELL, 3061 Featherweight Cordless Stick Vacuum, Electric Blue, Black

It’s okay. It works. The battery doesn’t last as long as it says, which is supposed to about 4 hours. It’s nice & I like it. Just doesn’t work for a house cleaning job

It is lightweight, easy to maneuver, simple to empty AND effective

I’ll start with the pros: 1) Super lightweight as described! Little to no effort to push around and take up and down stairs. 2) The swivel on the vacuum head is awesome. Very smooth, quick to swivel and easy to maneuver. 3) For a fancy dust buster, the suction is really nice. Is it perfect? No, but it does the job and works wonderfully from carpet to hardwood floors. 4) easy to clean and empty out The Cons: 1) I get maybe 10-15 min of run time before the red light stays flashing and I need to recharge it. This isn’t super bothersome as I don’t have a large house, but it gets annoying when I’m in the mood to clean and I have to vacuum the upstairs then wait a few hours before i can vacuum the main floor (my house is just under 1700sq ft for reference) 2) definitely needs to be emptied after each use. It sucks up a lot but due to it being , essentially, a dust buster, so it needs to be emptied between uses. 3) doesn’t do a great job of a deep clean on thick carpets. For a thinner area rug, hard floors, floor mats, it’s wonderful!!! But only seems to get topical dirt/hair from anything remotely ‘plush’. All in all i do like the ease and lightweight feature of the vacuum. Would I say this is a true replacement vacuum for an entire house with multiple levels/carpet textures? Not really, but it is great for hard floors and quick work of debris. I would consider this more a replacement for a broom and dust pan (which for me is fine), but is it worth $115? Not at all, $80 maybe, but not $115.

I Like the Overall Features of this Unit. My Only Objection is that Almost the Smallest Amount of Hair or even Fuzz in the Brush Shuts the Unit Down Until it is Removed.

Easy to use, easy to empty. Don’t overdo it without emptying or “channel” will clog and you will spend a long time poking debris out with a knife. More of the vac should come apart! Power ok, gets up a lot of cat hair. Ps vac will just stop if badly clogged. Holds a charge in between uses but takes a while to charge. A little awkward to get the plug into vacuum.

It does exactly what I was hoping for...easy, quick, lightweight. My house is 2 story with carpet upstairs and mostly tile downstairs. I hate carrying heavy vacuum up and down so this is perfect. I have a dog with longer hair so I get lots of hair collecting around char legs, etc. The swivel head really helps getting around and in between things. The battery lasts long enough so I dont feel like I have to constantly charge and the light indicates when to charge. I loved this so much I purchased one for my mom for Christmas. Shes 80 and would complain about her heavy vacuum. She said this was the best gift ever! The cost was relativity inexpensive when compared to vacuums Ive purchased in the past so Im not expecting it to last forever, but Im hoping to get a few year out of it. Ive owned this only a couple months, but for now I can highly recommend!

The product seems to work fine. Bissell gives to animal projects which is a plus for us. My problem was with delivery. It is a large package and it got shuffled over to US PS and we ended up waiting an extra four days and having to go into the main post office to pick it up because they don’t deliver packages that size. Why didn’t UPS just deliver it?

So it feels a little cheap; lets just say that right off the bat. If I had picked it up in a store I probably wouldnt have picked it up at this price. HOWEVER... This is a super little vac. It really is. We ordered it a few weeks before our camping trip so we could test it out beforehand & it did not disappoint! We have a 35 travel trailer, we camp with 2 adults, 3 kids, & 2 dogs, one of whom is a husky mix so she sheds like mad... Camping with her & the kids, yeah, we needed a vacuum... That rig gets dirty quickly! It goes from the stupid ugly shag carpet on the slides to the linoleum with ease. The head swivels on a dime so its super maneuverable in the small space. The clincher for me was the detachable hand-vac to do the loveseat that the husky mix sits on & leaves a puppy behind & for doing all the weird corners & edges... Im not even a clean-freak, but the travel trailer gets filthy, fast, & it is just nice to be able to take 2 mins to do the floors of the whole 35, & then use the hand-vac to do the little bits, & be done! And not feel like our home is gross... Def recommend for the RV. We vacuumed 1-2x/day, every day, since our huskys fur is long & theres a lot of it... Never mind all the dang sand that was tracked in... I wouldnt let it go much longer than that as the canister is not that big. But yeah for a tiny home, travel trailer, motor home, for a quick but super effective daily clean, this thing is the bomb! Highly recommend.

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 wouldnt 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. Were being offered 20% off a new unit, but were 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 its 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 Im doing and you waited 4 months to call. Your warranty expired in March! What do you want?!? So were 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 cant 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 cant even get an address right. Overall it was a fantastic vacuum, until it wasnt. 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 doesnt and customer service is useless. Get the extra protection or pay every year.

This vacuum goes under a lot of my furniture and grabs the hair it has amazing suction and easy to dispose of the hair in the garbage. We have a lot of animal hair daily so this helps in the hard floors. However it is terrible on carpeting (although Ive been known to vacuum the bed with it for the pet hair) I use my tried and true Kirby for the rugs. Definitely recommend! This is my second one. And theyve improved it since I bought the first one
