This vacuum performed well when I bought and some months later. Unfortunately, I have two cats and even with regular emptying the cat fur now up accumulates inside the clear plastic. Every two weeks, so I attach a butter knife into the void and scrape the fur off the cat thing that seems to produce the 'aspiration. Due to the design, it is not easy to get the hair off the suction thing. Sorry 'better not to use technical terms. The point is that if you have pets, this vacuum suction at the end of Ana. I m 'now in the market for a vacuum bagged canister vacuum as I want a minimal-maintenance. Getting on the floor with a butter knife every two weeks, just isn t 'work for me.
I had this vacuum is more than two years. I did my research and decided on this. My # 1 complaint and reason to dislike ITS is the tip of danger it has. When using the hose attachment to suck up the drop has been spilled. This happens almost every time I use the tube. I bought the first cracking and it hurts. Tip Rémy .... find another cleaner without the danger of rollover.
Technical note: What if you ve 'has lost over time or get suction Suction flange after passing a shoe if the indicator remains red and green especially on jumps Red Thong **** s "to examination of the end. Honestly, SOME BUCK to keep in YOUR POCKET, do not send it for repair before checking this R! - R Bissell 3990 Purchased this for my mom for Christmas in 2007 for her man after extensive research and reading tons of positive and many fair, but not so positive reviews here on Amazon, in comparison with several other vacuums. I think we paid about $ 250.00 for him. I mainly used once a week for about one hour for rooms with carpets wall-to-wall and also throw large carpets and rugs here for almost two years. R rFirst and foremost, this thing are great suction! You will be amazed if you have pets (cats and my guests are here) that it has apparently picked up every hair and more (phew!) - The attachment also works well as the beater bar to that! Really top notch. Love! R rHowever, he aspires remains too! I used it for about three weeks without problems, then ingested a satin sheet Unseen pillow under my 's mother a bed - through the box to the bar in the middle of the sweeper and a pipe difficult to achieve. And after taking all that is, it does suck t 'as well (see **** ' s below). And after the engine - permanently started having a little Louder. The beater bar at floor level housing has no discipline that suck! In another session, he swallowed his own cord so easily and the first belt broke! Note to self: first out of the box, attach the cord to a position high on the back of the broom! R rThis thing is great for people who struggle with declaring themselves - especially negative feelings - a few days with the total floors velocity and you ll 'find yourself throwing the steps to the deepest express your feelings and frustrations and you 's proudly say "See, I did, I threw him down the stairs!. You ' s feel good and your therapist will be happy! But and you know you have to go there and pick it up, you look at the 'in the plastic sled, and I am sorry that you did - because you will see an impressive amount of hair and dust is inside it sucked for you - yes, as in all the comments! And you fall 's in love again ... until ... r runtil... The suction hose, yes, "just random loose" from the back of the vac-spit again invisible dirt that you are up front to back - back on the floor - After cleaning seriously! (FOOL It 's YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW strongly supported the black plastic nozzle on the back the last time). You will discover that because the room Swept you just as fast as you can just before the guests arrive have bits of dirt everywhere, and you 's go "@ # $% & XX - I can t ' I think I didn t 'catch this - again! lt " r Ryou ' love of self-propulsion was not anything mentioned in the comments of others until he leads you Post a chicot.il easily and firmly with flat even light over loose rugs with fringes of gold! The beater bar stop - the belt is in place, then the children's room with pervasive that burnt rubber smell awful - really. This thing turns passive-aggressive tone aggressive corrosive belt after belt as they change over a year. And that 's good for the rest of us, because we don ' t walk with vague feelings of guilt over having been stabbed in the part of those people - they know that we 'was conditioned by this Bissell now be reflexive say in advance so we can respond accordingly! R rHowever, love will blossom again as you say "yes, okay, but these belts are surprisingly inexpensive in both sets to the target. But you take it home and try to change them. You s gorilla flu both release and re-insert the Beater bar belt. Really. In addition - you 'll think - "the belt is relatively flat and should easily go around this piece of flat metal and the pin plug ", but you 's ready to be yelling all again when this little step is transformed into an incredibly long process. r rBack noise of the motor - it started as a bit Louder Than perhaps other vacuums but now - use after use - it is so strong that I use earplugs. Oh yes, I rejected some criticism at the time alert engine more even stronger because the other commentators do not have this problem, and I thought - "Yes, it happened to them, I 'm one of the lucky " ... but after a few days - the freight train. r experience 'RMY purchase this unit and using the Amazon reviews really shook my faith in the comments here. Do some cameras have qualities that truly escape the review process? One thing mentioned here or there, but also offset by positive things mentioned here and there? I am a mechanical person - and may take part something - and I was surprised that, although Bissell was well reviewed in many respects, your experience will matter - long after you've 'paid dearly for it.I suspect that many critics have been good to those who have male pattern where nothing ever winds on the ground in places that don 't be seen and all the carpets are not wall to wall and type Mishaps year have been or will ever happen, or if you do not actually have anything under vacuum. R RSO here: If you buy in Bissell Total Velocity floors? It depends. Check first with your therapist. And for others who have this vacuum and somehow wound with a therapist - now you know what to go back to your problems - no need to go through childhood memories - getting rid of the cleaner and said goodbye your weekly meetings! You can re-marry. R Ras for me today, he got some bangs again. I unraveled in the second 'striped long piece of wire sweep past the Beaten some on the way to replace the belt that had burned. And after some inspection, I realized that this son had a red carpet lined on the porch outside and I had to laugh really relaxed! evidence that was not funny t 'he shredded my cats! It was a transforming experience for me! And see how far I've come in just two years, wow! Relaxed laughing! R r **** pointing Clog tech: if you and you have not clog intake (indicator remains red or green is not gray): Once you've 'checked every crevice of pipe and ACC, and drew the original cap, stopper and no other exists, and all filters are clean, yet little or no aspiration - is there a hidden area to verify Clog! Pull the tray under the filter removable sled on the front of the filter éponge.Atteignez fingers inside the compartment out of the drawer, reaching each side Unseen top slot and remove all the junk. I ve 'was to reach inside and out with my fingers, without seeing the butcher. But you 's not know. Check both left and right sides of the drawer in the cabinet. This usually happens after you've 'blocked by running the vac suction thing over and was completely prevented for some time. You 's get your vacuum back, but remember, honestly, keep it away from the year Heirloom Rugs with fringes and small Yorkies! R rP.S. So beware, however, glue super glue and gorilla will not repair the cracks in the plastic housing that are caused by injuries in the ACC ... Well ..... ..
I love this vacuum. The tool cleaned my furniture for pets. The handle is ease of movement. And the fact that you can turn off the hard floor brush is very large. TI does not pull on your feet land on bare floors !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I 've had a total floor for two years now. I bought it based on good reviews about ITS and powerful suction especially for how well it clean the carpet, because it is very important to me. I Have to Say That the reviews are correct, because the vacuum is a great job in cleaning and sucking up everything ---- When It 's working properly. And That Is Where it fails. From day one, the suction IS messed up. IS being used during the hose, the suction indicator would go from green (all clear, good suction) to black (something is blocking the suction). After many calls Bissell and many attempts to clear the hose of any obstructions (There are none), we were told to take it to a repair shop. After a week with no vacuum, we are told that There Was Nothing wrong with the suction, but that the indicator button IS "just a little off ... ". In other words, the indicator IS sensing blockage When there was not one '. Bissell sent us a new body in the vacuum cleaner. RSO this one seems to work properly. After a year of use, the plastic clip keeps the unit upright position broke. Now every time vacuum is left in a straight position, it falls. Same for Whenever I 'm Trying to use the hose / onboard tools. Because of these problems, a day unit fell onto the tile, and the plastic hose connector broke Where is the body of the vacuum inserts. Without this connection, the entire vacuum has no suction. Was I frustrated that so many important parts of the vacuum is made of cheap, fragile plastic. I called Bissell and asked for a replacement connection. They sent the wrong thing. I called again and said to them, and they apologized and sent replacement Another connection. They sent the wrong thing again. 4 weeks had passed with me getting the wrong but waiting for parts shipments. When I called the third time, they said "ohhhh ... THAT part! " And Then He Was Part I wasn 't available as a replacement part, But instead of IS part of the body, which would of course cost me as much as a new vacuum. I Was told they wouldn 't cover it Since It Was out of warranty. I tried talking to someone higher up and said the same thing, even though I pointed out that I felt like the damage came from the cheap, flimsy parts that are not the kind of quality I expected If spending $ 200 + a vacuum cleaner. Ri completed "repair " That vital connection by connecting to it and then Securing several layers of duct tape. LOL! It 's enough to keep the suction going well enough to get the vacuuming done. But I 'm angry Every time I see it or use vacuum (Which still falls Every Time It ' s set vertically). I feel like I threw my money away on what turned out to be a poor quality vacuum with a high price tag. I didn 't even get a full s years' use out of it before things started breaking - and it IS well cared for. Ri Will Say That If It didn 't Have All the problems in the body, it would be a great vacuum. It was really good clean, It Once Was full. But I can 't recommend this model to two ITS anyone cheap, flimsy construction.
Works great and no complaints so far. 3 + years of use around twice a week and it 's still running very well. R RThe only catch is often empty container does not leave debris that clogged can cleaning a hassle. You don 't forget the filters and it will work for a long period.
I'm here to tell you that it is not worth buying this online. I bought this vacuum and it came to me from GoVacuum damaged and they sent me twice! They never return calls and Super're lucky if you meet someone troops during working hours. They are now charging me a restocking fee for shipping and an emptiness that I'm not going to use! This is a terrible place to deal with and I suggest you leave only local store and buy it! I've been without a vacuum for more than a month and not have to go out and get an impressive fact when I first. Not worth it!
This is our 2nd Bissell turbo upright.Both of them ended up having the adjustment knob holds spring hieght strip.You can 't Adjust the hieght thevvaccum on, its stuck at one hieght.I feel it wasn ' t due to heavy handed use, but a cheap, bad design.Its a nice vaccuum, but watch out with the hieght adjustment.
I ve 'had this vacuum for the past year and I love ... but I can not give 5 stars because the thing is heavy to carry on things like stairs. I ve 'was the Eureka for many years with varying results with it. This time I made a little more research and picked the Total floors Because my carpet and tile in my house and I wanted something to take your orders on both. The first time I used it, I vacuum a brand new carpet that has been on the ground for less than a month and OMG I had to empty the tank was over twice before (the carpet is 10 "x14 '). It was then, now its still works great, always picking up cat hair and dog and who knows what my carpet and flooring. I ve ' has no broken parts and its been great. I'd give it a five star if only he was a little lighter.
This vacuum worked well, but always things left behind after the first pass, for some time. It 's been through at a rate alarming vacuum belts, and did nothing to collect pet hair. I got six months of use out of it, before it finally stopped working completely. I laugh t 'buy a new Bissell (it ' s not like it, but I still use very heavy, whereas most of my floor tiles - I sweep with a broom.) I 'd recommend you try elsewhere for a quality vacuum, so you don 't have to shell out another $ 200 for a new vacuum in a few months.
I had this vacuum for six months. I have all hard floors and I absolutely love this vacuum. It has wonderful suction. It 's easy to maneuver, the long cord is great and attachments stay put and not fall out of the car. I had no problems with odor or a clogged filter, but I have no carpet.
I am very pleased with my Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Vacuum. It's great on all levels of carpet and bare floors then. For those who had bad experiences with bagless I say keep the filters and clean machine. You will get much more from the vacuum and keep it running in top condition as you expect. RNOW about the Amazon service 's. 3990 The first ever that I have even asked me to be able to follow him to within 150 miles of here. FedEx presented research and advised me to contact Amazon. That same day I received an email that was sent another 3990. He arrived just a few days. Now that is what I call excellent service. So I have to give my thanks to FedEx for your courteous service and update calls in search of the first shipment.
Whoever designed this thing should not much empty. I have one baby and two dogs so I vacuum every day, at least once. So I curse this vacuum every day. I ve 'If the thing is about 8 months now and here are the problems so far: r r1. Mechanism to raise and lower the brush Fell one day. Fortunately it 's stuck at level 1. R2. The pipe is on the bottom of the void, which means every time you pull the vacuum switch over. It fell on my arm, the other day, leaving me with two large gashes. So, to use the hose, I must hold the hose in one hand and the handle of the vacuum in the other. In addition, he "broke out near the window one day when he cam crashing. A3. He is very tall (and heavier), but not more powerful than my old - and now resurrected - Compact Dirt Devil. R4. The ankle that you wrap the cord has fallen on the other day. It 'R5 is just annoying! . Basically you just have to be over to get something he aspired. R6. And worst of all, just randomly picked up the hose and you 'll find you swept both houses but was fliping any dirt on the back and not even getting blown up. Soon you ' s get to you Holding a hand where the hose connects while you vacuum or to keep control over it a few feet. R RThe only good thing is that 's bagless and has a permanent filter.
Really happy with my vacuum cleaner. Works great and I can "t believe how this thing straightens Dirt! The love that it 's bagless! Very happy!
And ignored the negative comments and focused on positive waves Hte because I liked the price and Bissell wanted to believe that I was a good name. Never again. My husband had to take the thing apart just about every two weeks. There is always a problem, and always with the different parties. I noticed a terrible smell of burning while using it, and after much research, we found the brush was not spinning. I pile carpet is very low and where I was four, the brush didn 't Budge. I had put him up to six to rotate the brush, and at six, it 's too high from floor to fluff up the carpet so it looks very dull and tangles and the vacuum did not pick up small debris and hair. Bissell customer service is extremely helpful with any situation. Next time I 'll spend the extra money and get a Dyson!
I like to find Bargains and ordered this Had Because of the great star reviews and the price For the technology (dual cyclonic). First, I don 't know if I trust the star system. It Seems Many people WHO have rated item rated five stars with five stars Trust item, and are experts on Each item, Which makes me suspicious. Anyway, back to this vacuum. R ri I read the reviews after the order is placed, so I Knew to check for broken parts upon delivery. The box did arrive with a gaping hole, but the parts around That hole (hoses) appeared OK. Also the front plastic piece above the roller appeared OK, Which seemed to be a common complaint. I assembled the vacuum (just a Phillips on three screws is required, and minor snapping into place) and there Were Someone else noticed two cracks (looked like a star) in the plastic near the power switch. I know I didn 't do this Because I didn ' t exert any kind of pressure That would have caused this, and it was most likely due to the mistreated box, cheap materials or possibly, missed QA inspection or inadequate packaging. r ri Used the vacuum on floors That hadn 't seen a vacuum in a couple of months (my old one Had broken). It picked up lots of stuff, and Pls I emptied the cup after Each room, the vacuum got really dusty. Dust falls off of the Underside Nowhere the cup is removed, and gets all over the vacuum and the floor. It is noticeable and Happens Every time so I learned to do this over the hardwoods and then sweep it up. It does have good suction, but it doesn 't "pick up the rugs making it a two person job " as one person noted. R rThe cord wrap is near the top and is fairly small, but it ' s really not that bad to wind up the hose. It 's actually a good note to have to lean over so much. There is no cord clamp at the top so most likely you will from some holding the cord with your hand Opposite the entire time while vacuuming. R ri compared this to a Sears brand has my girlfriend and this one is about an inch in width Smaller . I do like how it picks up from the edges on both sides rather than just one side, as Some Places are impossible to get to from only one side of the vacuum. R rOverall, it was easy to use, but my biggest concern Is the quality of the materials, and the life expectancy I can Expect to receive. r ri 'ma bit Concerned about the belt life as well, for no other reason but Others ' reviews. I emailed Amazon about an exchange (Because of the cracked plastic) and due to fluctuating supply from this manufacturer, they want are Unable to exchange the vacuum. So I think I 'll try A Different vacuum, maybe from Costco or Someone with a good return policy. Could I keep this vacuum with the cracks, Because with the dust as well, it 's not exactly a centerpiece for the display. But I feel the suppliers and merchants Should be held accountable for Providing faulty merchandise. And, I don 't want to risk paying $ 150 for a vacuum That won ' t last a year. R RSO, I Will Be Returning it and finding a better value somewhere else, and Hopefully a better quality product, event if it 's more expensive.
We Have Canister Vacuum but i wanted a cheap upright That Could wooden floors and no rugs on the endless scrubbing canister vaccumn ... R rThis is it ... The only downsides are the dirt collection "thingy " is too small and badly designed .. Said it can vaccumn the entire house without emptying it, so it 's really not a huge problem in the second, it ' s a little bump on rod carpet mode. R rThat All Said That 's literally the only downsides, it ' s strong hoovering maching that has cut my time in half, it is no infinite height adjustments, the Ability to turn off the carpet beater bar, the large and length of heavy cable and many more tools Which is great for stairs etc.. oooh not to mention the carpet mode it 's self-propelling so necessary just pushing the steering! R rThis really is an all floor cleaner, we live in the UK When we owned the Dyson vaccumns s 'for about seven years including most recently Dyson the ball and I would buy this Dyson Vacuum that humihigop any day of the week ....
I just had this vacuum for several days, but I am very happy with it (especially for the price). It sucks up a lot of dirt and hair, and I haven t 'had any problems with it. It certainly is better than my old canister vacuum. Don 't forget to have a canister filter just below the dirt needs to be cleaned periodically. When it arrives, it is easy to combine (you only need a screwdriver and a little muscle). Right now, I would recommend this vacuum to others. I 't comment on its longevity however.
This vacuum is very heavy and has a lot of cheap plastic. When we received it, had SOME plastic cracks in it. When I attempted to clean the dirt container, got dust all over my clothes. I wouldn 't recommend it to anyone.
I seldom rate anything 5 stars but this machine is approaching. I vacuumed the house for the third time since receiving the machine. If I were using the old vacuum and it worked efficiently like this, I would have to change bags at least 4 times. I had to empty the large bowl twice. He is still gathering dust carpet freshner that the other machine has missed the past several years. On the floor naked, I 'm used to seeing small particles being blown off the vacuum, but it doesn ' t happen with this. We have four rooms with carpets and the rest is tile. This vacuum works very well on both surfaces.
I t paradise "If it had sufficient time to learn how to last in the long run, but I'm happy as a new user. Turned out to be easier to push than I thought it would bi recovers well. I still prefer the tin but had to opt for a vertical position, due to balance problems. This seems a good product and a reasonable price in a well. Only complaint so far, needs a certain amount of force the hand of mount.
this vacuum picked up so much dirt I was surprised. its amazing. I've had for just a week so I can not vouch for their longevity. if it only lasts a couple of years, its worth the money. I love the long cord and the bagless feature. my daughter-in-law just bought a vacuum with a bag (which is so yesterday). We collect photos of dirt and emailed to her and now she ' s annoying. I recommend this machine.
After two with a Dyson we Attempts Eventually Gave Up and Return them, we Cheaper Then Bought this vacuum a little while we researcher better. After a month using this vacuum We Are Not bothering to research. It does a fantastic job, cleans deep pile carpets well, you reduce the 'sneeze ' factor in the house. Its heavy to use, But an average person would Have no problems with this.
Purchased this vacuum and hoping for a united Powerful That would be great where dog hair. My 2 year old model simulating bissel broke down way too early (belt would fall off Every use-even new Belts) But picked up TONES of dust and pet hair. This new vacuum Seems to just pick up a lot of fine dirt. And don 't know why I don ' t see much hair picked up. It is very good on my tile floor with no scatter When the brushes are deactivated. Overall Was twice the price of my old Bissel AND NOT worth it.
