Carpets have never been cleaner

published

Just bought an airram, while on sale at David Jones. Ive never seen my carpets cleaner. Very light and easy to vacuum. Very easy to setup and took only an hour of charging before I used it. Picked up dirt and hair very easily. Vacuum feels quite powerful and used it on both carpet and tiles. Great results!

Takes the chore out of vacuum cleaning

published

Beautifully designed device and very fun to use. It's light weight, powerful and very maneuverable. A real time saver. With most devices these days it does not come fully pre-charged and she obviously used it straight of the box without charging it first.

Very, Very, Very Noisy

published

I love the ease of use of the cleaner, I also have a "bad back" so it was that, that prompted me purchase it, but it is way, way to loud, so much so as my neighbour asked me the brand, before she told me she can hear it in her apartment across the hall!
Consequently, I don't use the cleaner, much, since owning it I've only turned it on approx. 5 times in almost a year....yes, my floors do get dusty, thank goodness for my steam mop!
I would like to return it (Harvey Norman) and swap it for a quieter model, it was too expensive just to have it sit in a corner also, considering I'm a pensioner the amount I paid is well over a month of pension payment for me.
Sorry, Bissell.

An update: I'm very happy to say, Harvey Norman gladly exchanged the cleaner after the salesperson started it and almost jumped out of his skin! I changed it for a Bosch which cost a lot more, hopefully worth it!

GREAT VACUUM ESPECIALLY FOR A BAD BACK

published

We are very happy with this vacuum. It is very light, very easy to use, and therefore great if you have a bad back.
It cleans really well.

Fantastic. Saved My Back!

published

The AirRAM is so easy on your back. I just did the whole house, floor boards and carpets and my back is not sore. You walk forward with it and there is no straining. Then it is so simple to empty with all the dust compacted - so no fly away dust. The container is the so easy to replace unlike other machines. I just wish I had one of these AirRams a long time ago. It has changed my life. The house is cleaned more often because it is so easy to do. Wouldn't be without it now.

Great Pick Up

published

Only went to ten minutes then red bar lights came on

published

We were very impressed with the ten minutes that this vacuum worked got up heaps of dust and we had just vacuumed with a well known cleaner.. only trouble after ten minutes red lights came on indicating something was stuck in machine, we cleaned it thoroughly and found nothing but still could not get it to work, so we decided to return it, it was brought online and problem is that once you have put in the extension handle you cannot get it back out so had to be sent back by courier as to big to send via Auspost agh
It did a great job when it was working
only went for ten minutes

This an amazing little vacuum

published

I can't believe how such a little thing can pack such a punch. It works so well on the carpet as well as hard floors, and it's so light and easy to glide around. The little air ram thingy that packs the dust etc is amazing. It's a bit noisy but what the heck, I love it!! and would recommend it to anyone that wants a compact powerful vacuum
lightweight, powerfull

Great cordless vacuum

published

This is a great vacuum to have around the house. Works really well on all surfaces including deep carpet, tiles, wood and linoleum. Battery life is fantastic and is good looking as well. I keep it at the ready in my kitchen and as a lazy bachelor, appreciate the ease of use.

What a brilliant vacuum cleaner!

published

I bought my Bissell AirRAM cord-free vacuum cleaner a couple of months ago and I cannot speak more highly of this product. It is a brilliant cleaner, lightweight and easy to use. The handle enables you to get under furniture and into corners easily. No cord to fall over either! Congratulations Bissell.
Everything - I cannot fault this product.

Another dud

published

Most of the reviews seem to be good: my wife loves this machine.
But - had it for four months and it is already bust: after normal - looking charge it just makes a strange electronic squeal for a second. No motor turning, nothing.

Looking at the dates of the negative reviews, the units all seem to be from similar imes. Bad batch?

Back to Hardly Normal tomorrow.
Light, good vacuum
Very noisy, lasted four months

Pathetic

published

Whilst this vacuum when working has great suction and is very easy to use, my machine has blown a motor 3 times in 5 months, it's been returned all 3 times and the after sales care is atrocious. No follow up calls to advise the product has been received back at Bissell, no follow up to advise why the machine is faulty, over 20 minute wait on the customer service hotline. Hopeless. I should of got a Dyson but read so many good reviews on this product.
Good suction & easy to use when working
Blown motor 3 times, customer service is terrible, without product for up to 3 weeks

Shoulda gone to Harvey Norman - simply take it back to the store and they view the fault and replace it on the spot!! They also price match so you get the best price and awesome customer service. Win-win!!

Buy it

published

This machine is old school technology (like grandma had) but cordless and is amazing. If you have dogs or cats it eats their hair effortlessly. One pass, all done. It sits in a small cavity in our house, always at the ready. It is so light in weight, it's like a toy. Yet a deceivingly, incredible vacuum. The convenience of a "DustBuster" but the power of a full size "performance" vac.
Light as a feather. Cordless . Picks up after our Dyson DC23 which is now our spare. Kids are using it for fun.
No attachments. But that's it.

Update. Still going hammer and tongs (as you'd expect). A few friends have now purchased this machine and are just as gob smacked at its ability. (To other review) handle is removeable once assembled.

No problems at all. As great as the day it was purchased.

I would contact the Bissell Outlet Shop in Scorsby, Victoria - they would be able to let you know if they have in stock and could post to you or if you live nearby you could pick up.

No, it wasn't your husband, it happened to me too, broke 13 mths after buy, and you can get from Bissell but it takes a bit of time (long time cos they don't answer very quickly and then don't respond well, there's a girl on emails who is terrible) for them to get back to you and i gave up and threw the thing out, mine lasted just over 12 mths before that happened. I'm going back to corded vacs, i tried other vacs too, even a Dyson and it was terrible. I should say they sent me the part, but it didn't seem to fit properly and no one i knew could get it to sit in there.....sad because it was v good.
