A great Vacuum!, December 30, 2006
This review is from: BISSELL 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
We needed another vacuum for our house and after reading many reviews decided to try the Bissell Momentum. Our criteria when were were looking were: 1. We wanted a bag model (hard to find these days and getting harder) 2. Price at around $100 3. Wanted a turbo brush type accessory (on board) 4. Excellent suction/cleaning 5. Long cord. While the Momentum was bagless, it only has essentially one filter to change. Better than many others. Plus, the prefilter is washable! What a concept - a resuable filter. We have owned a Kirby for about 15 years (very happy with it) and are amazed at the dirt lifting ability of this Momentum model. The amount of dirt you pick up with the Bissell makes us want to gag - and we clean often AND don't wear shoes in our house. I am always amazed at how much dirt gets in the carpet. The accessory hand held turbo brush is great for doing the stairs and furniture. We really like the extra long cord and for a manual push model, the momentum is easy to push and pull. The low front profile of the brush also allows it to get under the edge of our furniture - something more difficult with the Kirby. All in all, a great vacuum. We have been looking for months - and my husband who researches EVERYTHING also liked this one. Highly recommend, two thumbs up!

great vacuum, great price, not too heavy, February 6, 2007
This review is from: BISSELL 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I bought this for my mother, who is over seventy and not able to get around that easily. She has a cat, and wall-to-wall carpeting, so a vacuum cleaner was a must, but I didn't want her to have to mess with bags, or lug around some leviathan. This machine was perfect. She says her carpets have never been so clean--the thing filled up instantly, about three times in a row when she first started using it. She was surprised b/c the carpets didn't look that dirty! Anyway, this is highly recommended. Great price, too.

Best & Cheapest Vacuum I've bought in 20 years, November 11, 2006
This review is from: BISSELL 3910 Momentum Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
WOW, sums it up. I've owned electrolux, Kenmore, and most recently Oreck. I have a weekly housekeeper and my home is pretty clean. Most people think I'm a bit anal over the cleaning. I have been using an Oreck for the past 3-4 years and really thought it was doing a great job. Wednesday I borrowed a Miele from a local dealer. I came home and vacuumed my mostly carpeted 3200 square foot home. It did a pretty good job I thought, picking up about a sandwich size glad bag of dirt and hair. I started to question my $400.00 Oreck. Thursday my housekeepers vacuum my whole house again with my Oreck and the place looks spotless. Thursday I'm at bestbuy and the sales person in vacuums tells me to try this inexpensive $129.00 Bissell Momentum. He says I'll be shocked. I right away doubt such a cheap vacuum can suit my needs. I figure it is probably good enough for a younger couple in a smaller home, but not for me. I bring it home and vacuum my home. I'm disgusted with how much dirt and hair this thing picks up. I had to empty the canister 2 times. I'm so impressed that I keep bringing it out of the closet and using it again. Each time it will fill the plastic container probably once per 2-3 rooms. It's disgusting. Dog hair, cat hair, dirt, and who knows what else. It's really unbelievable how much it continues to pick up. And I swear, you'd would have considered my home clean before I started. THE BEST $129.00 I've ever spent. I was almost ready to buy the $750.00 XL21 Oreck. And I'm a really tough critic, believe me.
