Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Oh my goodness, this thing is wonderful! I hate sweeping, so I got this to use on the hard floors in my house. I will never sweep inside again. It works great. I use it primarily on hard floors for getting up stray cat litter, cat fur, dust bunnies, dirt that gets tracked in the house, and crumbs and spills of things like powdered sugar or cake mix in the kitchen. As far as carpets go, I have used it on small rugs in the bathroom and an area rug in the living room. I have also taken the bottom attachment off and used it with the dust buster part on the stick to get dust bunnies behind the TV where it's hard to reach and have used just the dust buster part on the sofa to get up cat fur and crumbs. It does a fantastic job with all of those things. I have a regular vacuum for the major carpeted areas in my house and would still recommend using a regular one for that purpose, particularly if you have animals or big messes. If I were to use the 3-in-1 in my bedroom, I'd have to stop and dump the dirt container out several times, and it doesn't have as much power as a regular vacuum. You don't need as much power on hard floors, though. For hard floors, there is nothing better. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, gets into tight spaces and under things a regular vacuum can't, and sucks up much more than you'd expect for something so small. Brooms always leave a little behind that you just can't quite get into the dust pan, but this mini-vac gets everything. It also doesn't take up a lot of space to store and is no hassle to get out and put away. It saves a lot of time as opposed to sweeping or pulling a big vacuum out. Sweeping is such a chore; this is not. Also, like the other reviewer said, I got mine at Walmart. It was just $14, so I thought it wasn't too big of a deal if it didn't work that great. Now every time I use it I think what a great value it is and wonder why it was so inexpensive. I have had it 2-3 months and use it probably 2-3 times a week. It is holding up well and still has great suction. I thought it might be one of those things that works for a while then doesn't, but so far it has been doing just as well as it did the first time I used it. It is definitely one of the best purchases I have made for cleaning. I love, love, love my Bissell 3-in-1 vac. If you hate sweeping, you MUST get one of these!
