Bissell Featherweight Cordless: The BEST Stick Vacuum for Small Apartments, RVs, and Dorm Rooms!

What We Loved

  • Brush-roll agitation strength
    spinning brush roll which you can turn on or off
  • Cleaning performance on carpet
    it scored way higher on our carpet deep clean test than I expected
  • Cleaning performance on hard floors
    squeegee on the bottom making it less likely to scatter debris on hard floors
  • Convertible handheld design
    can be used as both a handheld vacuum for above floor cleaning as well as a floor vacuum
  • Filter replacement cost
    filters are fairly inexpensive to buy extras of online
  • Fold-flat or telescoping design
    unique Folds for Storage handle design which Full holds down for Easy Storage
  • Large-debris pick-up
    fairly large gate on the floor head so it was able to pick up much larger debris
  • Maneuverability & swivel steering
    well-designed swivel which is something that other Vacuums in this style sometimes cheap out on but this one is responsive to wrist movements and has a good range
  • Price
    it's about half the cost of an average vacuum
  • Weight
    lightweight at only 5.8 pounds

Needs Improvement

  • Attachment variety & compatibility
    attachments that come with the Bissell featherweight aren't all that great
  • Battery runtime / Charging time
    Battery life which is lower than average at about 20 minutes per charge
  • Charging time (cordless)
    four and a half hour recharge time
  • Dust-bin emptying
    Dustbin isn't as easy to use and empty as with a regular vacuum
  • Filter replacement ease
    filters get dirty quicker too and should be replaced often
  • Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
    doesn't have a sealed Filtration HEPA filtration system

Best Lightweight Cordless Vacuum 2024 - Bissell Featherweight vs Kenmore DS1030

What We Loved

  • Cleaning performance on hard floors
    they were both excellent at picking up fine debris and medium-sized debris ... on hard floors
  • Convertible handheld design
    they both also have a handheld vacuum that can easily be removed from the base for above floor cleaning jobs
  • Extension-wand reach & adjustability
    has a pivoting wand which can be used to get under furniture without bending over
  • Fold-flat or telescoping design
    it can fold down for easier storage
  • Large-debris pick-up
    the Bissell was able to pick up the larger size debris like Cheerios
  • Maneuverability & swivel steering
    very responsive swivel floorhead for easily getting in and out of tight spaces
  • Weight
    the Bissell's handheld unit was slightly lighter than the Kenmore

Just Okay

  • Attachment variety & compatibility
    they both come with attachments for that purpose as well
  • Battery runtime / Charging time
    20 minutes on its one power setting

Needs Improvement

  • Airflow (CFM)
    in our airflow and sealed suction tests the Kenmore was quite a bit more powerful than the Bissell
  • Cleaning performance on carpet
    the Kenmore just barely beat out the Bissell
  • Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
    neither of Filtration them were that great
  • Price
    though the Bissell is more expensive it's not by much
  • Suction power (air watts)
    the Kenmore was quite a bit more powerful than the Bissell in both cases
