Upright Vacuum: Bissell 3990
June 26th, 2007
$132
The Bissell 3990 has enough suction to get all of the pet hair, random strings, crumbs, and other whatnot out of the carpet. It also includes attachments, a nice long cord, no more bags to buy, and an easy way to change the belt if you get into a fight with a shoelace. While vacuuming, particles stay in the container rather than flying back out. It’s not overly loud or heavy or weird-looking. Epinions users rate this vacuum very favorably, and if you’re already familiar with upright bagless vacuums, the only surprise is how well it cleans without costing a fortune. This is a robust bagless vacuum cleaner for less than $200, and that’s very reasonable.

I bought this vacuum on your recommendation. Although I’ve only used it a couple times so far, I can confirm that it has good suction and works well.
I borrowed Michael’s vacuum to clean up cat hair. It’s a great vacuum. I’m asking for one for xmas. It works so well in houses with pet hair. There’s a rolling brush attachment that you can use directly on the furniture. I love it. I can’t wait til I can own one of my own.
I just bought the 3920 and it is a real monster with DUAL CYCLONE ACTION. Seriously, I turned it on at midnight for a quick test and it self-propelled my rug into a different color. It was actually fun and I did another room just to feel this thing’s power. Like riding a rug-cleaning horse. I’m curious to see it works out long term.
