Amazon.com Review
A remarkably lightweight cleaning unit, the Featherweight stick vacuum from Bissell offers dual functionality in one slim little machine. Suitable for bare floors, draperies, upholstery, and low-pile carpets, the Featherweight converts easily from a floor vacuum to a hand vacuum and includes a crevice tool for tight corners. Completely bagless, the unit collects debris in a dust cup with a washable cloth filter. When the cup fills up, you just pop it off and empty it. Handy for small areas or anyone who needs a lightweight cleaning tool, the Featherweight stands 44-1/2 inches high and has a 9-1/4-inch nozzle. It comes with an ergonomically designed grip, and Bissell includes a limited one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

So easy to use July 25, 2008
I bought this vacuum for use in my apartment which has very low pile carpets. It works very well on them and the tile floor in the bathroom. You do have to clean it out every time you use it but this is easily done over a trash can. After cleaning a large area it may useful to have a can of compressed air to help clean the filter because it does get very dusty. Do not lean to close to the vacuum when you are emptying its canister because you might get dust in your face. It is the perfect size, easy to maneuver, and so very easy to store. It is definitely a great deal!
 Great little vacuum that's easy to use July 18, 2008

I love this vacuum because it's extremely light, small, easy to clean and powerful.
I bought it because I have two small kids who like to throw everything on the floor. It works on bare floors better than carpet, but it will pick up the big stuff off the carpet (for a quick cleanup). If you have a lot of carpet, this should NOT be your only vacuum.
It does okay on pet hair. I have a long haired cat that sheds constantly. I have to go over the hair a few times before it will come up. We have a medium-pile carpet though.
On hard floors, the vacuum slides across the floor with almost no effort on my part. Its suction is amazing (as long as the filter is clean). Plus, you never have to bend over to pick up the dirt.
It's very easy to clean. Just open it up and dump the dirt in the trash. I usually just bang the filter a few times to get the big stuff off of it. I also use a compressed gas duster to remove most of the small stuff from the filter.
The best part--it doesn't have an annoying battery that will die in a few months.
Some improvements that could be made--the power cord could be a bit longer. It also needs a place for the crevice tool to go. It doesn't attach directly to the vacuum. There are ways to attach it with stuff you have around the house. I used a wire (like the ones in those annoying toy boxes), that I loop around the cord handle and then loop it around the crevice tool.
Sweet! July 17, 2008
Wasn't too sure about this product due to its size and weight. However after reading other reviews, I decided to give it a try while it was on sale for $17.00. Got it - easy to put together and use. I was amazed how smooth it was over carpets. It definitely picked up a lot of dust off the carpet. Use it in the kitchen too where it works great on tiles/hardwood floors. My daughter who is 2 loves help out with it too. Its not a heavy duty vacuum but trust me it gets the job done in the same efficient manner!
 Don't Expect Much July 15, 2008
I could deal with all of the short-comings that have been mentioned, except the dust collecting on the outside of the unit. This has to mean the dust is just coming back into the room Thank goodness it only costs $20.00. I won't go to the hassle of returning, but I will probably donate.
It picks up sufficiently, and is light.
Just fine if you can figure out a way to deal with the dust apparently coming out of the unit. :)
 Suction loss July 8, 2008
Suction loss is a big problem with the Featherweight Vacuum. After 5-10 minutes of continuous vacuuming, you notice that it stops picking up dirt and hair.
You remedy the suction loss by unplugging the machine, popping open the canister, emptying it, replacing the air filter, and snapping the canister back to to the handle. In more than one instance, I had to struggle to open the canister and close it properly so that the hinges fall into place.
Literally, this is a hand vacuum with a detachable "floor attachment". This is not a true hard floor cleaner.
