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

This is a really nice super nice vacuum. It is super easy to empty and I appreciate how easy it was to put the vacuum together.. as other comments have mentioned the charge does not last very long, but my house is not very big so it’s perfect for me and it does not take too long to charge back up.. the one really nice thing I appreciate is when you’re charging It’s able to stand up on its own without falling over and it doesn’t take up a lot of space.. that being said, I don’t know if you have animals in the house of this would pick up enough. I am constantly having to pick hair out of the roller after every vacuum and I do not have any animals.. the only other drawback that I could find is it does not work very good on shag carpeting however I still use it because I just don’t go back-and-forth. I just started at one and then pull the vacuum back but for me it’s not an issue, I only have one shag rug,other than that it’s a super nice vacuum.

LOVE this vacuum. So light and easy to get a good vacuum in a few minutes, we both pick it up for a quick partial house vacuum whenever we notice a need. It easily gets under a good portion of the bed and sofa, the legs of furniture, and between spaces because it's not too wide and the handle drops very low. It completely cleans cat hair and dirt/dust off our hard floor and mats, but there is so much that a few days later it's worth running it again for 5 minutes. Separate handheld piece easily pops out for tight spaces, couch surfaces, with it's own attachments. Easy to clean and no need to change the filter constantly. We have to clean the inner and outer filter after every vacuum, but it is a snap. Easy to snap off the 2 parts and take both the inner and outer filter out to shake. The 2 filters clean up completely with a water rinse when needed. Roller easily pops out for cleaning. I can pull hair (the longer human kind) off the roller usually, and only pop out the roller if there's too much (the first few times I didn't think to check this and it had built up to cover the roller). Charging takes quite awhile after a long vacuuming session. I was able to completely cover a very hair-covered, dust-dirty 3 big rooms of hard flooring while moving furniture around the first time I used it, before re-charge needed.

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.

My old small vacuum died, so I purchased a replacement. The first replacement didn't do anything; it just redistributed the dirt. The second one, an Electrolux, I ordered new and what was shipped was refurbished. The noise extremely loud and when I went from a tiled floor to low pile carpeting the brush stopped working, again I returned this one. Then I found the Bissell. It works great, plenty of suction, light weight, and very maneuverable. My new best friend!

I've had this vacuum for 2-1/2 yrs and still love it. It's light weight and does a great job for my 1250 sq ft apartment. The charge just lasts long enough to finish the area. I clean the small filter after every use. Takes a long time to charge. With all the cons, if it stopped working tomorrow, I would buy another.

Okay when this thing actually worked, 5 stars! But I have had it just 2 years and it's stopped working. When I turn it on the roller doesn't spin and within 3 seconds the red light comes on and it shuts off. I have taken it apart a few times, cleaned it out etc., and nothing fixes it. I can still use it for hardwood without the spinning brush but it works much slower I have to go over the area multiple times. It's so lightweight and easy to bring around the house. I found the battery life to be good, I could get through 2 big rooms, two small rooms and a hallway before it would die so it was brilliant for what I needed it for. I liked it so much that I am tempted to buy another one even knowing that it might crap out on me in 2 years.

lightweight and easy to use n powerful suction picking up even tiniest crumbs I use in my kitchen!! and have 2 cats

I'll start with why I think this is a great vac, but pls read to the bottom for an explanation for why I couldn't give it 5 starts. I bought this because my employer had one; I used it and loved it. It is lightweight, versatile, has great maneuverability, long lasting battery power, great suction power. It offers many features and functions that I would only expect from a higher priced stick vac. You get two tools for the price of one, with the detachable hand vac (plus you get accessories: crevice tool and etc). This vac gets under the lowest furniture and swivels around in the trickiest spaces allowing you to reach more areas without having to detach the handvac to get into hard to reach spaces. The handle even folds forward so you can really get under low furniture without the vacuum losing contact with the floor (and thus suction). The charge lasts 90+ minutes and doesn't require constant charging. I used this vac for 45 minutes and forgot to plug it in to charge. 5 days later, I used it again for over 45 minutes. The suction power did not deplete when battery power ran low. All the features of this vac are intuitively handy. With just one push of a button that is at your fingertips, you can switch between using the hard floor and using the brush roll feature. You don't have to stop vacuuming to switch surfaces. The hand vac can be easily detached and reattached from the base with a push of a button. This mid range stick vac is really impressive. So WHY DIDN'T I GIVE IT A FIVE STAR RATING??? #1 When my stick vac arrived, the filter was missing. Amazon did refund my purchase price and did not require that I return the product, so kudos to them. I thought that was strange and now I know why. #2 YOU CAN NOT BUY A GENUINE BISSELL REPLACEMENT FILTER PART. I looked on the Bissell website for a replacement filter for this 3106 model. They don't sell a filter replacement. They don't offer an alternative replacement filter, from among the many other replacement filters they sell, that would work for the model 3106. (I thought maybe they had a newer version of this stick vac and I could buy the filter for the newer model, but no!) The only way to get a genuine replacement filter for this specific model, is that you have to buy the entire hand held vacuum for $35, which only comes with the one (1) filter - what happens when I eventually want to replace the filter, which anyone would need to do to keep the vac running in good order? My only other option was to buy an "off brand" replacement filter and hope that it fits. The problem with buying something other than genuine replacement parts is that they are never as good as the genuine parts because they aren't made specifically for your product and sometimes products don't fit nor do they work as well (or you damage your vac by using an off brand) when you don't use genuine parts. It's also difficult to determine if you are buying the correct product because while "they" say that the filter is compatible with the model 3106 in the heading, if you read further on in the description of "compatible models" you won't find the 3106 listed among the model numbers- "bait and switch". I know this sounds picky, but I have a brand new stick vac that I bought with the expectation that it would work as well as the one my employer has. At this point, I'm crossing my fingers and will purchase an "off brand" filter. Let's hope I'm not disappointed. CONCLUSION: LOVE THE VAC, but BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH REPLACING THE FILTER WITH A GENUINE BISSELL FILTER.
