Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Tackle floors, furniture, cupboards, and closets with the versatile Bissell FeatherWeight vacuum. Designed for both floors and surfaces, the 1.2 amp machine converts from broom-style to handheld vacuum when you quick-release the handle. You can use it with or without the floor nozzle, which features a built-in brush to gently agitate surfaces. In its stick form, the vacuum offers a comfortable grip, a maneuverable structure, and a 9-inch cleaning path. It's ideal for bare floors and low-pile carpets. As a hand vacuum, the unit is light and easy to use, with a large handle and an 8-inch crevice tool for car seats and stairs. Built without a bag, the FeatherWeight collects dirt in an easy-to-empty cup that has a washable permanent filter inside it. Assembly and breakdown are straightforward: the handle and floor nozzle click in and out, the power switch is a sliding knob, and the dirt-cup release button is easy to depress. The FeatherWeight comes with a 16-foot power cord that wraps around the handle hooks for storage. --Emily Bedard

This item was in my goldbox and I ordered it on a whim..I love it!! It's just what we needed with 2 kids under 2 and 2 long haired cats. It picks up cheerios and cat hair like a pro! It's easy to maneuver and picks up great along the edges of trim and under dishwasher, fridge and stove since it's so low. It's only so-so on carpet, but it will pick up lint and crumbs, if they're not deep into the pile.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Rainbow vacuum, but this is sooo much easier in a hurry and with kids around and half the house being linoleum or tile, that's what matters!

...and meant only for light-weight tasks. If you think of it as a very powerful, rechargeable-type vacuum, you won't be disappointed. Of course, as it's corded, it doesn't suffer from the limitations of those battery operated machines. However, it will work adequately well only on small areas of carpet (spot cleaning) or on hardwood, vinyl or tile floors.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good vacuum for carpet, February 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bissell 31053 FeatherWeight Vacuum (Kitchen)

This vacuum sucks, but not very well. It doesn't pick up anything on our bad-quality apartment carpet. It's hard to push and messy to empty. We purchased it because it looked easy to store. However, our carpets are a mess and my husbands begging for a new vacuum.
