Bissell 2156A Zing Canister Bagless Vacuum

I’ve created a monster!
I got this primarily to vacuum my dogs. That’s right – I have two very large, very shedding dogs. A first gen Labradoodle – 1st gen don’t always get the poodle coat. Mine didn’t. He sheds. A LOT. I know people say their dogs shed, but seriously, this guy takes it to a whole new level. The other dog is a Rottweiler, who also sheds, but it’s a “normal” amount.I have a robot vacuum, but it cannot cope with the volume of dog hair even running daily. The bin is always full. If I’m home when it runs I empty it twice while it’s running. This is currently 4 days a week. The other three it gets emptied daily.Neither of our dogs are really afraid of the vacuum (before I had the robot one) so I figured it wouldn’t be a stretch to get them acclimated to being vacuumed. So I ordered this and an attachment specifically designed to brush/vac a dog. The attachment was a waste. In the end I use the hose of this vacuum, without an attachment. Both dogs love it.However, the Rottie, she’s obsessed. She begins barking excitedly as soon as I turn the vacuum on. I do use this to vacuum surfaces and corners where the robot can’t quite manage – shelves, entertainment center, couches, corners, etc. My Rottie can’t wait till it’s her turn. And even when I’m done with her and move on the the non-Doodle Doodle, she is still trying to get in on the action. Bot dogs mad the “oh that feels SO good” face – seems to me it scratches the itch that they can never reach!Now – how does this little guy perform as an actual vacuum as opposed to a dog grooming implement? Surprisingly well! It has really powerful suction. Works great on all the items I mentioned. I haven’t used it with the floor attachment but I can imagine that the folks who complain about it on carpet didn’t read the description very well – there is no powered brush attachment and the suction is so powerful that I wouldn’t even try to use it on carpet except with the crevice tool around baseboards, corners etc – I have all hard surface floors so this won’t ever be something I do. I also can’t speak to the length of the extension for the floor tool because I haven’t used it – our robot vac does that job. The extensions do look short though so I can’t imagine trying to vacuum my whole house with this – but I can see using them to take out cobwebs!As a lightweight, powerful hard floor vacuum, being used for everything BUT the bulk of the floor, I give this high marks. As a dog-grooming device I’m thrilled – the amount of fur and (shudder) dander that I dumped from the bin was a real eye-opener – and that’s before I got to tapping out the filter (OMG that was disgusting!). I would not use this on small dogs…. the suction is powerful enough that you could probably lift a dog of 10lbs or less off the floor. But for my large dogs (+/-100lbs each), it’s amazing. They love it, it gets the shed and hopefully it’ll help cut down on the wear on our robot vac. It’s also small enough that it tucks into our already packed hall closet easily. It rolls smoothly on the floor and even when I took it all over it didn’t get tangled in it’s cord. I also love that the cord retracts into the body of the machine. Between this and the robot vac, I will likely never use our expensive water basin vacuum again!If you’re looking for something to get corners, cobwebs; to vacuum furniture and even large dogs, I don’t think you can go wrong with this… just be prepared for your dog to become an addict.

Great for rugs and basic cleaning
For a cheap little vacuum cleaner, it does the job well enough. It’s amazing on my rugs that are thick, but struggles to pick up anything bigger than litter on the hardwood floors. I think the bristles at the top of the head are the culprit in that matter. It’s also very lightweight so it’s easy to drag around during the chores and the suction is great too. Noise wise, it’s exactly what you’d expect of a vacuum cleaner. All around great for a small apartment with pets.

Me encantó!!!! Cumplió con mis expectativas al 100% . Buscaba una aspiradora que fuera practica, ligera y de gran potencia, para dejar la abrumadora escoba para barrer los pisos de mi casa.Es el segundo día que la uso y no tengo ningún comentario negativo. Es tan potente que no creo que sirva para aspirar alfombras, ya que su potencia es impresionante y no creo que se pudiera desplazar tan fácil en la alfombra. Pero para mis pisos es sencillamente sensacional!!! La volvería a comprar

La uso para aspirar piso de porcelanato. Teniendo en cuenta esto:Lo bueno-Tanto el filtro como el depósito son demasiado fáciles de limpiar-Tiene la potencia para el uso que le doy, sustituye en un 90% barrer con escoba-No pesa nada-El cable de electricidad es larguísimoLo malo:-Se calienta demasiado, al terminar una recámara tengo que apagarla un rato por precaución.En general creo que es una excelente aspiradora para uso doméstico, le daría 5 estrellas si no fuera porque se calienta

Muy practica y facil de usar, puede limpiar bien los pisos, tengo 2 gatos y un perro
