BISSELL® Featherweight™ PowerBrush Vacuum, 2773A Gray

Right price, great function...easy to use.

Purchased for use in a small apartment with ratty heavily-used rental-unit carpet, and it has worked well. The powered brush pulled up a lot of debris with initial uses, and since then the carpet has felt much less distasteful. The cord is an inconvenience compared to cordless types, but power and not having to recharge help to compensate.

I got it specifically to use on 2 small old , rather delicate, oriental rugs. My regular vacuum had too strong a suction and was pulling up the rugs especially on the fringes. I wanted something with a lower suction and I had checked all the reviews, and had also submitted a question about being able to use it on a small rather light old rug. All the responses I got said it would be fine for my purposes. However when I used it on the rugs I found that the rotating brushes (which are made of rather stiff (plastic?) material) were too rough on the material of the rug. After vacuuming, the dirt bag receptacle was filled with a lot of fuzzy, fine, fibers of the rug. However, the vacuum worked well on heavier machine made rugs.

I only had this nice vacuum a few days and used it once on my hardware floors and 8 X 10 carpets. Will probably give it 5 stars in my next review (too soon for that rating) and do have a few recommendations so far. Its not a heavy-duty vacuum and purchased it for something quick and easy to use for everyday light cleaning (I do have a heavy-duty vacuum also for heavier vacuuming once in a while). The vacuum is light, easy to set up, seems sturdy, can stand by itself against the wall, excellent 18 ft. electric cord, and good suction power on both hardwood and small carpets - exactly what I was hoping for. The brush turns nicely by motor power, not by air pressure as some models do. The following recommendations are minor, nice to have in future versions and not meant to be-little this so far nice vacuum: 1. Would be nice to have an additional button to turn on-off the brush (might help picking up matter from the hardwood floors but up to Bissell engineers to test this feature). 2. The vacuum handle is very smooth and allows the vacuum to twist in your hand easily. It would be nice to roughen this up a little so you have a little firmer grip that would help keep it from twisting left or right in your hand. Not a big deal but nice to have and should be an easy enhancement. 3. It would be nice to have a way to attach the Crevice tool (included for vacuuming hard-to-reach spaces and messes) to the vacuum when not in use. The Crevice tool comes with the vacuum but sometimes I cant remember where I left it from my last use of it. A quick plastic hook or catch on the handle would be nice, where it becomes part of the vacuum you carry around. As a temporary measure, I attached a piece of Velcro to the lower part of the long handle and a piece to one of the back sides of the Crevice tool and that seems to work fine (always know where I put it last). I am sure the Bissell engineers can find a little better solution. Should be an easy enhancement. 4. In addition to the Crevice tool, it would be nice to have a little brush attachment to vacuum furniture, for cat hair, etc. Not a big deal either but nice to have. 5. Would be nice to be able to hang on a closet wall. Could we please have some small plastic wall hanger, that can be screwed onto the wall to enable it to be hung from the wall. Doesnt need to be much of a hanger and not everybody would need or want it, but a nice, inexpensive addition for the unit. 6. Would be nice if the revolving brush mechnesim would swivel left and right. I had used this feature on a previous vacuum and loved it as I could reach awkard areas. 7. I still cant give this vacuum five stars as it could use more suction power. It does clean but I never feel the floors are really that clean. A little more suction power would be really nice but I guess that would compete with your more expensive vacuums. I purchased this vs. a cordless for the purpose of getting more power and of course use time. Unfortunately, power wise, it is comparable to an inexpensive cordless. Having used this now, and it does do a fair job, I would have returned it and reconsidered a cordless but my return policy has expired.

Great for quick cleanups. Not very rugged but OK for light duty jobs. Suction is adequate. Crevice tool is handy. Removable handle makes cleaning stairs easier. Worth the money.

I chose this stick vac because of the rotating brush. Ive had others in the past that dont have it and they never clean my floors well enough. Its a little loud, and sometimes I have to go over an area a couple of times before it picks up what is on the floor, but I didnt expect a great vac for this price. HOWEVER: If you live in an upstairs apartment this may disturb your downstairs neighbor. In two of my rooms the vibration of the vac is just so that the entire floor thrums loudly. And my apartment isnt that old and is well made. There is just something that just resonates when Im using the vac. I had full sized vac before this one and it did not do it. Because of that I will not purchase another one once this one is gone.

I was looking for a lightweight stick vacuum that would be easy to carry up the narrow and steep stairs of our late 1800s house to the 2 upper bedrooms. So far this one fits the bill! Its lightweight but performs very well on hardwood floors and area rugs. Love the handheld vac feature too. Please dont be fooled by the buy all 3 gimmick like I was. The replacement filters dont fit and I dont believe the other filter type is even needed. The filter that comes with the vacuum washes up easily and nicely when needed.

LOVE this vacuum. I make sure to clean it out really well after use though. I cut the hair out of brushes to ensure it will last a long time. But it really picks up everything, great suction power. We now have two of these in my home, one in the home and one in my classroom!

I bought this to replace the handheld vacuum in my RV. It’s compact, light and I love that I can use it standing or handheld. I don’t expect it to last forever, but between exceeding my expectations on suction power and it’s versatility, it’s hard to beat for $40.

This is a great vacuums for light cleaning. Super lightweight and no too loud. Picks up pretty well to be small and cleans up pet hair.
