 very pleased.. March 8, 2010

I adore this vacuum. For the price, you really can't beat it. It is quite large, but it is very easy to push- not heavy at all. I used to dread vacuuming with my old dirt devil, but now I vacuum all the time! It doesn't seem like such a chore:) It works well on everything- furniture, bare floors, etc. I am definitely glad I made the purchase!
 Have I EVER vacuumed before? March 8, 2010

So like so many Bissell vacuum owners, I did have my heart set on a Dyson, but just could not afford it. I have 4 cats and live in a house with wall-to-wall carpet. I really needed a good vacuum. Before splurging on a Dyson, I decided to check out the Bissell 3920. I heard it was a close 2nd to the Dyson Animal at a fraction of the cost. This is a nice machine and works very well on carpeting. The first time I used it I was amazed at how much it picked up. It was as if I had never vacuumed before. This model calls itself the "Pet Eraser". Honestly, the attachments are not something to rave about. I don't think they are necessary great from picking up pet hair. You can only attach them to the curved part of the hose, but you can not use the extender with the attachments. So if you have to vacuum down a flight of stairs using the attachments, you won't get very far from the landing. I believe there are adapters for the pet attachments, but I can not find them sold separately. Perhaps the adapters are used with the extender. By the way, DO NOT BUY THE ATTACHMENTS. The vacuum comes with everything you need. When using the upright part of the machine, there is a strip of material near the suction which is supposed to help pick up pet hair. You won't need to clean this. This material attracts the pet hair and rolls it up as you vacuum. As it does this, the pet hair will eventually peel off and be sucked up into the canister. The vacuum canister is easy to empty. I found the machine to be a bit heavy. You also have to do some moderately easy (but annoying) assembly. The instructions are clear, but the pictures could be better. So far, I like the Bissell 3920. I'll update this review periodically as I discover more.
Bissell 3920 Truly Has Amazing Performance February 28, 2010
Liesl McCord (Cookeville, TN, US)
With 4 cats in the house, cat hair is everywhere - all the time! Granted, 3 of them have relatively short hair, but our bohemeth has lots of long, black hair! Two of them are indoor only cats and 2 are indoor-outdoor cats, so not only do we get cat hair on every surface, but the other two like to bring in leaves and twigs and dirt and such from the outdoors, too. Plus, the litter box may be in the laundry room with a linoleum floor, but invariably, litter will make its way to the carpeted hallway. About 5 years ago, before the cats, I had purchased a basic, no frills vacuum from Wal-Mart in the $60 range if I remember correctly. Once I adopted the first cat, the long-haired one, that vacuum still did alright, but with the newer feline additions, my sister moving in and a move to a larger house, that thing just lost most all suction and the hose clogged a whole lot easier and more often. It wasn't cutting it anymore so I started a search for vacuums that professed a design specifically for pet hair.
After much searching and comparing and reading others' reviews, I finally found the Bissell 3920 Pet Hair Eraser. Compared to even some of the more expensive models, the Bissell was certainly more affordable but still had as good if not better reviews than some others like the Dyson Animal model. Still, I was a bit skeptical because things don't always live up to the hype or will perform great the first few times but then fails terribly over time. In this case, though, we've been using the Pet Hair Eraser for about 6 months and still love it! We were so surprised the first time we ran it down the hallway - just the hallway - and it was like new carpet had been laid. Then we figured out the little attachment on the front flips down and acts like a lifter to kind of separate the carpet fibers and pulls more from the in-between spaces then on the front stroke, the lifter pushes its contents back to the main part so that gets suctioned in, too. It actually gets along walls really well, too!
Plus, if you don't or can't get into smaller spaces, the attachments are phenomenal! Not just the typical crevice tip or the brush tip like you might see on other vacuums, but these also come with the pet-hair lifter and a rotating brush that, again, separates the fibers to loosen the dirt, hair, etc to get more than just what's on the surface. With the extra-long cord, I don't have to change plugs but twice to get the whole house vacuumed and that's mostly because it's a two-story house so I have to move the plug to reach the next floor.
If there are drawbacks, they are few & far between. With a bagless system, its easy to empty, but its best to make sure you put the receptacle almost completely in the trash bag or can or you'll get a face full of dust. The power button seems to be in an odd place for me, too, but that's probably more because I'm so used to have a foot pedal. I wouldnt mind a bit longer hose or a longer extension piece so I could reach higher and under things better since I'm only 5' tall. I'd like to have a light on the front, too so it'd be easier to see where I'm going in those tighter/darker spaces and see little things that may be lying in my path.
Other than that, though, I'd recommend this machine for just about every pet owner in the world. Even if you don't own a pet, it's awesome for general cleaning, too. There's just a lot of power and plenty of options for most every surface. I've even used it to clean the bugs out of the light globes on the porches and the dusting attachment around the electronics cabinet.

If you own pets..this vacuum is a MUST have! February 25, 2010
Pamela Monks (Lyons Falls, NY)
My husband and I talked about buying a new vacuum for years. We needed something that would tackle all the pet hair without having to take out a loan just to buy a vacuum. I can't imagine having to spend $500 or more. So we did some research and were really impressed by all the positive reviews on the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. The price was unbelievable too. What a deal! After buying one we were absolutely blown away! What an incredible vacuum! The carpets look new and the pet hair is GONE! We are totally 100% pleased with our purchase.
awesome February 21, 2010
