5.0 out of 5 stars
Dyson almost had my money!,
By cinz (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I was in the market for a new sub$200 vacuum. I have 2 dogs, 1 cat and needed something good for carpet and bare floors. I originally had the bissell clearview bagless which is horrible for bare floors and spits back small particles at your shins plus has very poor suction, so initially i was hesitant about another bissell. The other vacuum I have is the lightweight $69 Eureka with the loop handle with a brushroll off switch wich does a decent job but no height adjustment, blows air directly in front blowing away dirt that your trying to vacuum plus the filter gets extremely clogged and I have to scrape it clean with a fork. The worst part being smell of the filter once it goes bad it stays bad and fills the room with a nasty rotten smell. So, I purchased the new Dirt Devil Reaction,there's a foam filter preceding the hepa which is out of the way so figured less direct contact with debris. For the most part it did a decent job but no brushroll off switch-horrible on bare floors, bulky, short hose which is cumbersome to re-attach. After 1 vacuuming the foam filter had a nice thick layer of fine dust, the hepa filter seemd ok. Anyway returned it back to Target. Ok, so I start saving my money for a Dyson or maybe even the new Shark Infinity, figuring there's no sub $200 that will have the features i want.Then I saw the Bissell Healthy Home for $300. Looked like a Dyson ripoff to me but hey all the better! So as I was researching the healthy home i came across the Velocity total floors, bagless, foot-activated brushroll off and height, 14' hose, turbo brush, $cheap plus it's self propelled which is not advertised. I found it at Walmart. Let me tell you this vacuum picked up so much fine dust and hair it was gross! Afterwards I inspected the 2 filters, yes just 2, 1 pre-motor foam and the hepa! expecting to find the same dust layer as the Dirt Devil and my bissell clearview. As i pulled out the foam filter it was clean! How could that be?!Then I inspected the hepa filter expecting the inner side to be black. it was clean too! WTF? How could this vaucuum with just 2 filters have no dust on them? Watch the video on the Bissell website. The outer and inner cyclonic action works! The hose reached the top of my stairs too. Bare floors performance was exceptional. there's a rubber floating windshield like rubber strip which prevents spit back and the floors felt clean under my feet not dusty like the Eureka. The dust conatiner is much larger than the clearview and easy to empty. If you look down the center you would see the dirt that would have otherwised reached the filter on other vacuums. Ok so now the cons: the brush switch is a manual clutch type so takes some effort but found by using my heel instead of my toes works best. Kinda loud but hey as long as its sucking up dirt who cares?! A telescoping handle would've been nice...And that's it. I'm keeping this vacuum, sorry Mr. Dyson I'm spending the money I saved on something else! Thank you Bissell for a vacuum that does what I want.

Top-three at this price point,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I just received this yesterday. The vacuum is great. It distributes an interesting "new vacuum smell" when you use it, and it makes our carpet stand up and feel fresh to walk on. I was worried about the couple poor reviews, but I think this is in the top-three vacuums (if not the best) you can buy at this price point.
This is one of Bissell's new models along with the more expensive and heavier Healthy Home version. Pros: - Good suction - saw a lot of dustballs, hair, and junk in the bin - only went over places once or twice at good speed - Average loudness - Average handling/size - Feels sturdy, looks spiffy, thoughtful engineering - ~ 19.7 pounds (about mid-range these days) - Seems to filter air well - no sneezing - Easy to empty and bagless - Easy height adjustment - Average easyness to turn off brush roll - Tools secure (make sure to seat the TurboBrush correctly) - Washable pre-engine filter - Really long cord, quick-release posts - Easy to open bottom and unroll extension cord tangled in roller (fortunately it was still working). Easy to see how to change the belt, too. Cons: - Takes 10 minutes to read instructions and put together - Pulling hose out to fit accessories takes finesse (get in position, twist/pull, try not to break plastic bracket when hose finally comes free) - Average hose length - Post-engine HEPA filter needs periodic replacement - Vacuum WILL suck up an extension cord around the roller - Lots of plastic - No variable power - Not too comfortable cleaning on hardwood floors because wheels are plastic, not enough rubber bumpers - Need a lightweight vac or longer hose if you really want to vacuum the bathroom ... - Really long cord takes 30-60 seconds to wind-up on the short space between the posts - A couple poor reviews

I couldn't believe my eyes!,
By Julia (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
We just put a 2nd floor addition on our house. With the exception of the bathroom and the laundry room, all of the rooms are carpet. After a few months of having to carry my Oreck up and down the stairs, I decided to buy a new vacuum. (I know the Oreck is only 8 lbs. but it was still a hassle)
I knew I wanted a Bissell because I have the ProHeat SteamVac and I love it, so I figured I'd try a Bissell vacuum. I spent hours online comparing models and reading reviews. I finally took the plunge and bought the Total Floors Velocity. I couldn't wait to see how well it worked, or didn't work. I opened the box right away, had it fully assembled in under 10 minutes. I had vacuumed the living room with my Oreck the day before so I didn't think my carpet would be dirty. Well, let me tell you, this thing makes my $400.00 Oreck look bad! It picked up so much dust, dirt, dog hair, etc.... I couldn't believe my eyes! I went upstairs and vacuumed the carpet in my daughter's room. Around Christmas time, she had spilled some glitter on her carpet. I vacuum her carpet with the Oreck almost everyday. Well, the Bissell pulled up more glitter that the Oreck missed! These are my personal experiences, but now let me tell you about the pros and cons. Pros: Lightweight and easy to maneuver. 14' hose will reach from the bottom of my stairs to the very top of my stairs. Powerful suction. Besides superior cleaning on carpets, it's also excellent on bare floors. Superior vacuum for the price. Cons: The switch that stops the brush from turning (for bare floor cleaning) it difficult to push down. I feel like I'm going to break it if I push down too hard. When using the hose with attachments, the vacuum tips over easily (but it's lightweight...I guess you can't have the best of both worlds!)
