Bissell 21K3 Vacuum
After owning Eurekas for over 30 years, I decided to try this Bissell when my latest Eureka died. I did quite a bit of research and liked many of the features for this machine. I also liked the pricetag of $99.99. The main selling point for me was the "extra long power cord". I live in a medium-small apartment and the cord on my last two Eurekas was just about 3 feet too short. The cord on this Bissell is at least 5 feet SHORTER than that. The suction is fine; as you'd expect from any brand new vacuum but the dust cup is quite small and needed to be emptied several times (like, 5 or 6) while I was vacuuming my apartment. With my old Eureka, I just emptied it when I was finished with the job. We do have three cats that contribute to the problem. My favorite thing about this Bissell is the handle on the hose. It detaches very easily and the extension wand is handy and clicks in place.
I'd say, if you don't have pets and you don't mind changing outlets mid-job and...
Awesome for pet hair!
This is a great vacuum. I don't have much carpet, but after seeing how much I picked up on the rug I vacuumed the whole house on the bare floor setting. The hose is also super easy to use and great for getting the hair in the tight spaces between the kitchen table and chair legs. I have two large dogs and keeping my floors clean is so much easier. Also, the visual reminder of how much I'm collecting is a real incentive to vacuum more frequently.
From Dyson to Bissell
I previously had a Dyson. Forgot the exact model #, but it was the purple one for pet hair. I wanted something reliable and that is good with suction, as I have 5 kids that do their share of spilling and dumping and eating and so on. I ordered this vacuum from Amazon Thursday. My Dyson had died, so I REALLY needed a good replacement! It arrived Saturday. I love Amazon Prime, but as soon as it arrived, I tore it open and put it together which took all of about 5 minutes. I vacuumed right away. I didn't think the floors were all that dirty. They are only a few months old too. I vacuumed all the rooms on the medium setting. The suction was great and loved everything about the machine! I finished, then opened the cup to empty it. It was truly disgusting! I never, ever had even half of the amount from my Dyson!! This vacuum is a winner with me and I hope it serves me longer than my Dyson did which was 6 years.
