Bissell Zing Canister Vacuum 10M2 Review
Bissell Zing Canister Vacuum 10M2
Summary:
Users give this cheap canister vacuum mixed reviews, saying it has good suction but isn't suited to carpet and could use more attachments. Many complain that the vacuum is unusually loud, and one user reports that the plug caught on fire.

Bissell Zing reviews on Amazon are mixed. Some users like the Bissell Zing Canister Vacuum 10M2, saying it's easy to use, while others have had negative experiences with it. One user reports in a Bissell Zing review on Amazon that the vacuum's design allowed a tiny rock to get stuck near the brush and leave scratches on a hardwood floor. Even good Bissell Zing reviews at Amazon and Target say this vacuum isn't suitable for carpet and emits a very sharp, loud noise when in use. Bissel Zing reviews at Target praise the vacuum for its powerful suction, but one user reports that the plug caught on fire. The user liked the vacuum so much that he opted to exchange it rather than wait for a slow-to-respond Bissell to investigate, so there's no word on whether the outlet or the vacuum was to blame.

The Bissell Zing 10M2 is a bagless canister vacuum with a four-stage filtration system. At 12.6 pounds, it's certainly not the lightest vacuum on our list. It comes with a combination crevice tool and dusting brush, as well as an extension wand, and a one-year warranty. The manufacturer does not mention cord or hose length.

While the Bissell Zing 10M2 is a very cheap canister vacuum, we don't like the mixed user reviews it receives. This doesn't seem like a good choice for someone with carpet, and the noise complaint resurfaces again and again. The report of a fire is also worrisome. Even for the low price, this doesn't seem like the best option.
