Rated 4 out of 5 by Great little vacuum I love this vacuum. I brought it home not expecting much. I was surprised at the amount of suction that it has. It's so easy to convert it to do whatever cleaning tasks you have. I use it in my kitchen. So much better than using a broom, and picks up pet hair great. The only thing that would make it the perfect vacuum is a brush attachment. I'd be more than willing to pay extra for it. How about it Bissell? September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by I really like this product I first bought this product for my Mom...it was on sale, and it seemed fairly easy to assemble. I brought it home, put it together very easily, and vacuumed my mother's carpet...WOW, what suction!!! I liked it so much that I went out and bought my own. It's lightweight, easy to use, and it gets underneath some furniture. Way to go, BISSELL!!! One suggestion: next time, please make the cord a little longer. September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Just the right size!! Selling my house and need to keep up w/ the cat litter etc. on a daily basis. This vac is perfect --- easy to use, does a great job, and very light-weight. I LOVE IT!! September 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Surprisingly good for such a small price I purchased at Walmart for a Lincoln and a Hamilton. The box indicated that a crevice tool was included, but was not so I purchased one on the Bissell site, though it is backordered and haven't received it yet. The pre-filters and filters I ordered came quickly though. I just wish Walmart carried these things as well, but the price for shipping wasn't all that unreasonable here. This little vacuum is quite effective for its small price and size. When I emptied the filter cup I noticed it had picked up several hairs and other items that inexpensive stick vacs just don't seem to get. I live in an apartment building and have always vacuumed in the hallway with my larger vacuum, but this is doing that job now since it's quieter and is much easier to lift on the stairs. It's actually quite ideal for that. This will work best on bare floors and carpets with low pile. I don't think this is the best choice for someone who wants to use it on their deeper pile carpets unless you're talking about a few spilled crumbs on the surface in which case it's probably fine. This would be a good choice for an RV, vacation home or kids away at college in the dorms. Barely noticeable in a little corner, but you'll notice the results. August 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by "My Little Gem" I bought my 3 in 1 Stck Vac on August 17, 2012. I have arthritis and find it very difficult to push our larger vacuum around. This "Little Gem" works great on my laminate, hardwood and ceramic floors, my low pile mats and the upholstery! I would recommend this machine to anyone--young or old--arthritic or not:). By the way this is my first Bissell---product.... probably not my last!! I'm impressed! August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Easy does it! I find the mobility of this unit exceptional. It glides over my hard finish floors very easily and allows me to keep these floors clean of dirt and debris. August 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent! Surprisingly shocked! Bought this for my bare floors, and have been very happy with it. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much it being so small, but it works great! Excellent suction, easy to clean, and very quiet. Highly recommend! August 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great 'Electric Broom" Spied this little gem on sale in Walmart today, less than 15. Easy to assemble, light as a feather, and had pretty good pick-up power for daily pet debris. Have several cats and a couple birds and the hair and seeds get everywhere. Getting out the canister every day or even every other day was tiresome. This mini-vac makes nice quick work of it. August 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LOVE IT!!!! :) I have had mine for about a year. No problems. So compact I can use it to vacuum out my car. I have wood floors and area rugs. It gets used everywhere. The only thing it lacks is an accessory with a brush. Can you all do that? Pretty please??? August 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great Vacuum! I love this vacuum! It is light, easy to get into small places, powerful, and easy to empty. My only complaint is the clip that holds the handle to the vacuum keeps coming undone? I don't know if anyone else has this problem? But I think you should look for a stronger way to attach the handle. Thanks for a nice product. August 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by This is the best product we have used this vacuum so many times since we got it that we dont hardly use our big vacuum anymore. thats how great it is July 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FAB-U-LOUS! Purchased one for myself and one for my almost 90 year old mother. Fast clean-ups on hardwoods, kitchen and bathroom tile. Fantastic on scatter rugs and rubber backed floor mats. Easily converts to hand held for stairs. Lightweight and easy to use. Very pleased! July 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by thrilled with this produce I have a golden retreiver dog with lots of hair and she's always bringing in dirt. I have my vaccum always at hand as it is so easy to use and lightweight as well and props up in any tight corner. My husband calls it my new toy. I just love it. It sweeps all my hard surface floors with no effort at all. This is a great buy!!!!! July 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BEST STICK VAC EVER! I had other stick vacs and they didn't pick up well, nor did they last long. I was determined to find one that would make me happy ... so I did some research through Consumer Report. That is where I learned about the Bissell 3-in-1 vac. It was rated the TOP STICK VAC ... and it truly is! I absolutely love it!!!! I have two cats and it use it to clean up around the litter box. I am always amazed how much cat hair it picks up. My son gets so tired of hearing me say, "Just look at how much stuff this little vac picked up!!" I keep extra filters around ... I wash the dirty filter and let it air dry. In the meantime, I just pop in another filter. I order the filters online ... how easy is that? July 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lightweight yet powerful I love my 3-in-1, in fact I loved it so much I went back and bought a second one for our boat. Now I want another one for our upstairs. It can get into corners that a regular vac cannot reach. The price doesn't hurt either. A great product from a reliable manufacturer for a price that doesn't hurt the pocketbook. July 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dumpster find at dorm cleanout I found this sticking out of a dumpster on campus as the dorms let out. Most of the kids toss stuff out they can't fly with. It works far better than the dirt devil one I found and sucks up dirt better than more expensive one's i've used. I love the fact it comes apart because I can use it as a dust buster as well as a floor broom. July 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LOVE LOVE LOVE IT I WENT TO WALMART AND BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT. ICAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE IT. THE 3-IN-ONE VAC IS PERFECT FOR MY HARDWOOD FLOORS. I REALLY LIKE THE LONG CORD IT GIVES ME. IT'S JUST GREAT!!!! June 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by OMG best thing sence the broom. I wish I had this when my kids were growing up. I have love mine so much that I gave all my close family members one for Christmas (5) of them and give it as shower gifts.Everyone that I give it to loves it and is really so happy they thank me all the time. I have given out about 15 of them over 2 years. I just bought me another one because my sister daughter took hers. So I gave her mine to use and didn't give it back. So I just got a new one. Love It. June 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Replacement item I bought my original 3 in 1 vac in 1992. Completely happy with it for quick cleanups. It is still working very well EXCEPT the handle broke. Talking with a customer rep at Bissell, I determined it was cheaper to buy one of the new ones rather than a replacement handle. Bought it at Walmart and am loving it. It is sleek, shiny and works like a charm. June 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love my little Vac! Hi, Living in the Bahamas, shopping for items such as a vacuum for hard surfaces is a challenge, so sweeping seemed to be my only option. After 6 years of only sweeping, I decided to give in and order a floor vacuum online. It just so happened that when I found one I thought was perfect, my mother decided to make a short trip to Florida. So I had my mother pick this vacuum up at Walmart for me two days ago. I have 5 inside dogs and a 2000 sq ft house, with 5 inside dogs my floors have to sweep at least once a day, sometimes twice. Sweeping that much white ceramic tile becomes troublesome. The moment I got this little vac home, I opened it up and started using it. The only thing I dislike is the short cord, I have to stop and unplug it and replug it to finish a room. But other then that, I absolutely love this vacuum. I went from 30 minutes of sweeping to 10-12 minutes of vacuuming. I empty mine out each time I finish with it, not to put any strain on the motor. I find it stores nicely in the hall closet, without taking up much room. The noise level is so much quieter then my big vacuum that I use on my area rugs. I recommend this vacuum to anyone looking for a cleaner and quicker alternative to sweeping. Also makes a great dog toy, my dogs just love to chase after this vacuum. Even my husband used this vacuum and loved it! June 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Really glad I purchased this little vacuum My husband's cousin bought this product at Walmart & told me how much she loved it. I was tired of dragging my large vacuum up and down the stairs. I have 3 cats & really need to vacuum every day, especially in warm weather when cats are shedding badly. I purchased this product two days ago & am very satisfied. The price was right & it cleans low-pile rugs, hardwood floor & ceramic tile floor very well. Also, because it is light weight, it is really convenient & easy to use. However, I am still having a problem picking up hair from my Maine Coon cat on sofa & chair but picks up hair very well on floor. June 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thank you husband My husband saw this vac at Walmart, and loved the price. With one dog and two cats we are always chasing loose fur around. With this vac besides the hard wood floors we can use it on the carpets. Great plus. Works like a pro wish we bought it a long time ago. June 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 Years and counting!! Little did I know when I purchased this handy little vac over 3 years ago, that it would become my main go-to vac. My thought now days is, "if this little thing EVER stops working...I will HAVE to get another". Well, I just now HAD to order another one... Because my son is moving into his first apt. and he specifically requested one!!! Did I raise a smart kid or what??? Wonder if I'll still have my original one when my daughter moves out in a couple of years?? :) June 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love this little vacuum. This small, light-weight vacuum is just what I was looking for. The cleaning power is amazing on both carpet and bare floors. I'm impressed! June 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bought for a toy, but use it all the time. I originally bought this vac as a toy for my 2 year old as she would hold up my cleaning process insisting to vacuum like mommy. It does work for that purpose, but I also love the way it picks up debris from the kitchen floor and we use it on the futon to get off crumbs and other debris. The suction is good for a small vacuum and the noise level is perfect in my house with a newborn. I would recommend this vac to anybody for quick clean ups and places where lifting a big vacuum could get awkward. June 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amazed!!! My fiance and I received this from his aunt as we moved into our new apartment. I figured it would be a decent hand tool but not so much a vacuum. Boy was I wrong. This worked well above my expectations. It works great on hardwood and carpet. It picks up pet hair so easily and well. I love this. Hope it lasts a while. May 31, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic! I purchased the 3 in one vac, not expecting much power. My other Vacuum was in the shop for two weeks, so, this was to be in interum purchase. Was I surprised! This little, light weight vac pulled the dirt and dog hair better than my expensive large vac! It made my work so much easier. It gets into and under spaces that my large vac can't get into!! I reccommend this to anyone who wants a great vac with terrific power and light weight! May 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by This is a great little vacuum cleaner This is a great little vacuum cleaner. I have a basement floor, 1st story floor and a 2nd story floor. This 3 in 1 vacuum is so light weight that you don't mind taking it from one floor to another. It is very light weight and has very good suction. It is excellent on hardwood floors and low pile carpets. The power cord should have been a little bit longer though. May 21, 2012
