The main job of a vacuum is to suck. Not in the way that is bad, but to pick up the dirt and dust and little scraps of paper and food that are embedded in your carpet. The Total Floors Velocity by Bissell is going to do just that, and after just a couple of passes on your floors, you are going to see swirls of what used to be in the rug in the dirt canister.

“Good suction – saw a lot of dust balls, hair, and junk in the bin – only went over places once or twice at good speed.”

“It is very powerful and will leave you disgusted to know how much junk was embedded in your carpet.”

The great thing about the Bissell Total Floors Upright cleaner is that it goes from carpet to hard flooring without a lot of trouble – you just need to tap on the foot pedal.

“It doesn’t blow the dust and dirt around like my old vacuum. It has a special setting for non-carpet floors that works great.”

The Bissell 3990 is going to make using the attachments a piece of cake. The extension hose is on the machine, so that you can clean the ceiling, corners or stairs really easily without wasting a lot of time.

“The 14′ hose will reach from the bottom of my stairs to the very top of my stairs.”

One of the toughest things to clean up is pet hair because it sticks to the carpeting and upholstery like glue. If you want to know whether your vacuum is good or not, try it on a couch or rug that is covered in pet hair. Here is what one Amazon reviewer had to say.

“The TurboBrush is great for getting the cat hair off the furniture, and it is very easy to switch between the regular vacuum and attachments.”

With a 4 star review from Amazon, you might be wondering why wait to get this machine. However, there are some negatives that you should know about this machine. The quality might not be what you are expecting. Customers have reported getting the machine broken, and cheap plastic parts falling off of it.

“They do not pack it in anything other than what you would grab it off the shelf at Wal-Mart. No Styrofoam or any protection. The side of the box got smooshed and so did the vacuum.”

“The vacuum is very poorly made with lots of cheap plastic parts.”

Will the Total Floors Velocity Sweep You Off Of Your Feet?

Overall, Bissell 3990 Total Floors Velocity Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner is pretty good and shouldn’t cause you many problems. Getting a bagless machine that has all of these features should cost you a lot more money.

If you have more money in your budget, you are going to find the Dyson DC07 is going to be a great cleaner and a bit more durable.
