BISSELL 2773A Featherweight PowerBrush Stick Vacuum

BISSELL 2773A Featherweight PowerBrush Stick Vacuum is an entry-level corded, bagless, convertible stick vacuum cleaner suitable for quick cleanups of bare floors, carpets, area rugs, stairs, and other elevated surfaces.

BISSELL Featherweight PowerBrush is a very affordable unit and is often used in smaller homes and apartments, dorm rooms, and similar areas, even as the main vacuum cleaner. Nonetheless, its cleaning performances should not be compared with larger, more powerful, and of course, more expensive units.

BISSELL 2773A Featherweight PowerBrush Features and Specifications

BISSELL Featherweight PowerBrush is a rather versatile unit and is easily converted from a stick vacuum cleaner into a handheld vacuum and back.

BISSELL 2773A is rated at 2 Amps and is powered via 18 feet (~5.5 m) long power cord.

Obviously, the unit doesn't feature an automatic self-rewind system - the power cord is manually wrapped around the cord wrap hooks.

The power cord could be longer, but the unit weighs only 4.1 pounds (~1.86 kg) and is easily carried around if another wall power socket must be found.

Despite being rated at only 2 Amps, BISSELL 2773A features a relatively good suction across its 8.3 inches (~21 cm) cleaning path. Also, the floor cleaning nozzle features a brushroll, helping with cleaning on both hard floors and carpets.

Note: Brushroll cannot be turned Off, but it is gentle enough to be used on various bare floors. If You have sensitive bare floors, test the brushroll on a small, hidden area, just in case.

The brushroll features a transparent cover, allowing the user to see the status and condition of the brushroll - the brushroll doesn't come with a hair-removing technology, and over time hair, lint and fibers may accumulate, requiring the user to remove them manually.

The dirt cup is also transparent, allowing the user to see the amount and type of vacuumed dirt. With a capacity of 0.7 liters, BISSELL 2773A features a relatively large dirt cup that is easy and quick to empty.

Air filtration is rather good, considering the price class of the unit. The air filtration system is based on cyclonic action and a mechanical air filter.

Since the dirty filter decreases the suction considerably, it is recommended to clean the air filter after each use by tapping it onto the inner surface of the trashcan and to wash the air filter after 1-2 months using warm water and mild detergent.

The air filter should be reassembled back into the unit only when it is completely dry - that is why some users have two air filters, one being dried and another in the unit.

For cleaning tight and narrow spaces, edges, and similar, BISSELL 2773A comes with an additional crevice tool.

BISSELL 2773A is often advertised as a 3-in-1 unit, but it is more like a 4-in-1 unit since it can be used as:

• Ultra Lightweight Stick Vac
• Hand Vacuum
• High Reach Vacuum
• Stair Vac

Affordable price, good cleaning, and versatility make BISSELL Featherweight PowerBrush 2773A one of the most popular units in its class.

BISSELL 2773A is designed as a self-standing unit, requiring very little storage area. However, don't let pets and kids play around it when being stored - one good push and it may fall down.

The unit comes with a 1-year limited warranty.

BISSELL 2773A Maintenance Tasks

BISSELL 2773A is a very easy-to-maintain unit with very small operating costs. Most common maintenance tasks include:

• Dirt Cup: Empty the dirt cup after each cleaning task.
• Air Filter: Clean the air filter after each cleaning task by tapping it onto the hard surface of the trashcan. Also, wash it every 1-2 months or as required.
• PowerBrush: check for hair tangles and remove when required.

Also, it is up to the user to periodically check for possible clogs and blockages, but they rarely happen.
