This little machine is great for anyone who sews or does crafts. Picks up all those loose threads and lint better than any big roller brush machine and cleans up gliiter in a snap. Great for fast pick up of pet fur and light cleanup. Have two of them, one upstairs and one for dowstairs. Have just purchased one for family member with tile floors. They too will enjoy what a great little vac this is. Highly recommend, especially for the sewing room.
And it is. With the simplest operation I've found. Lightweight and a dream on vinyl floors. No dragging a big machine around because the beater brush won't clean on a vinyl floor. Pet hair gone; no aching shoulders from hauling around the big vac; one happy camper. That would be me.
Just what I wanted! Very light and easy to use on carpet or hardwood floors. My current vac is cumbersome to carry up stairs to the bedrooms. The Feather Weight works well. Not bad to clean out but a longer cord would definitely be an asset. I was sorry to see it advertised at my "big box" store for about $10 less than my online purchase. I definitely recommend it.
This is the greatest little machine (especially for the price). I don't often post reviews but had to in this case. As mentioned, it is very light weight. I have a cat and it is great for cleaning up cat hair. Because I read the other reviews, I empty it over the garbage can in my garage - no problem. As for the length of the cord, I just added a 6' extension cord and it reaches all areas of my kitchen, 2 foyers and a bathroom without unplugging & moving. It is really good for sprucing up between major cleaning jobs. Thanks Bissell for a great & thrifty product.
I love this little vacuum. I bought it when we moved into our house, because we have all hard floors now, and my other vacuum had a roller, which made it less than ideal (when I vacuumed in bare feet, I could feel it flinging the dirt and debris back at me). In my search for an all-suction vacuum, I found the Bissell FeatherWeight, and I'm oh, so happy that I did! Not only is it small and easy to move (my other vacuum is not super heavy, but if you have to move it a lot, it starts feeling more and more heavy). This one I can pick up to vacuum dust or fur off the hall table, and I move from room to room in a flash (and without an aching back). Even better than the weight is how effective and powerful this little vacuum is! I read a review before I bought it that said it gets corners really well. I was skeptical, but it's true: I've tested on visible debris. The first time I used it, I emptied the dirt cup and was amazed at how much cat fur it had picked up (we only have one cat), stuff I couldn't even see; it's not like we had hairballs sitting in the corners. I figured it was just because it was new... but I vacuum just about every day (sometimes every couple days), and I'm still amazed (after about 3 months) every single time at the giant hairball when I open the dirt cup. This vacuum has made me reconsider how clean I *think* my floor is. Even when it's cleaned every day, there's a lot of junk down there. Great product!
Having had many vacuums in over 60 years this is fabulous. Works better (great suction!!) on carpeted stairs than my big Oreck and a lot easier to move back and forth. Treat this little vacuum with care and it will work beautifully for many years. Tip: empty the canister and replace the filter after each use. Get replacement filters so that you can put on a new one and wash the used one. It is important to seat the filter properly on the motor so that it is firmly down on the rim. The optional uses are easy to deploy and there is no loss of suction. Thanks Bissell!!
Great product, great suction. Could have longer cord. Do need to empty over trash can, filter holds dirt and then the bottom holds dirt and when you take apart dirt will fall every.
