Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum Review

I bought the Bissell 3-in-1 vacuum about a year ago.  It comes with a floor attachment which has a thin 'brush' across, and one hole in the middle where everything gets sucked in...so don't be fooled by the ad pictures on Walmart's website - the picture where it's cleanly picking up spilled dirt from a plant while using the floor attachment is misleading.  There simply isn't enough suction from the machine to pick it up so well.  There is another attachment used for crevices and/or corners.  You can use the vacuum without them - it's like using a dust buster.  The handle is removable and everything connects and disconnects easily, but not Too easily.  The plastic the machine is made from is thick and durable.

The compartment fills up quickly, and when emptying you Must make sure you kind of beat the dirt out of the filter because it really can get worked in after a while and the suction becomes less powerful a little quickly.  I'm actually not sure where to get more filters for this... I haven't checked.

It actually picks up light 'dirt' really well.  I originally bought the vacuum because I moved into a very small apartment with thin carpet and two dogs.  It did well for the basics, but don't rely on this to do a job like a regular vacuum as it does not have a spinning brush to get anything that's been worked into a carpet (and I had cheap, office style 'carpet', the dog hair was still impossible to get out).  Sometimes vacuumed dirt slips out of the machine so be careful when you are finished using it.

The attachments are great, very helpful.  I like that you can remove the handle so it's easier to work with in very small quarters.  The cord could be longer for moving around a larger space but then it would be too bulky on the handle, so it's ok for the size of the machine.

All in all, it's alright to buy if you already have something better and just need something Real light for the kitchen or similar, but after a while it's probably not worth it.  I use it at work now to get light dust and hair off the floor, so it's not useless.
