Confidence bolstered more than 2,700 reviews (averaging 4.1 stars out of 5), and Amazon's return policies, I bought a Bissell "Zing" (bagless, corded & maroon) canister vacuum on 4/3/18, also irdering extra bags and spare filters. Delivery was prompt. Hoping to reduce our reliance on Swiffer pads for minor floor cleaning, I also wanted a light, easy-to-handle, carry and store vacuum for the jobs ill-suited for our Shark cordless upright, and jobs too small to be worth dragging my huge Craftsman wet/dry vac up (to second and third floors) from its home in the ground-floor workshop. After about three hours use in three weeks, I think the Bissell Zing (model 4223) was a good choice, but I suspect most buyers should just buy better tools along with their "Zing." I certsinly wish I'd done so but, who knew? I was skeptical. In 2015, Consumer Reports rated 15 (bagged & bagless) canister vacuums priced between $180 and $1,100. Yes, that was eleven hundred dollars! And $459.33 was the average price. Yikes! CR didn't even bother reviewing canisters priced under $180. So, I really was dubious. Could a vac selling for $50 be any good at all? Well, after 3 hours of use, I think the Zing is pleasingly quiet, powerful, lightweight, easily stored, easy to use, and attractively priced (possibly a bargain?). But, buyers should include the cost of some better attachments, at least until Bissell realizes its error and re-equips the model 4223 Zing canister with functional nozzles. On the upside, the retractable cord works fine, about nine times out of ten. I manually control the cord's retrieval speed and, when it sometimes leaves a foot or two protruding, it is easy to pull out a foot or two, guiding in the last few winds so they fit inside. The vacuum's body is of molded plastic (at least its exterior won't rust in our coastal location), but it lxddrlseems sturdily built. The motor is reasonably quiet, and it's powerful suction allows me to quickly collect the cobwebs that gather in corners, where our home's 8 to 12 walls meet the ceilings, as well as under steps of our spiral staircase, and behind the "immovables." The latter includes our piano, dressers, hutches, filing cabinets, desk and other large pieces of furniture. But, you can't separate the hose from the wand, which I know will be a major limitation for manuveuring in tight spaces, such as cleaning under the seats of out sedans. And, shame on Bissell for the other "tools" (attachments) they have crippled this plucky little vac with. The basic floor tool is a bit small, but effective on hard floors. But, it quickly revealed an annoying habit of detaching (frequently, and often without apparent reason). It seems to possess an uncanny ability to detect inconvenient locations (such as when it is EXACTLY under the middle of a king or queen-sized bed). Anytime the nozzle is even slightly punched between floor and the lower edge of a sofa or chair it just slips right off. Even the light friction caused by it's bristles dragging across our low pile area rug will dislodge it. Fortunately, that 8x12 foot rug, and some mats in the bathrooms, are our home's only carpet. The nozzle does fine on tile and vinyl flooring, efficiently picking up pet hair, and bits of dirt and small pebbles tracked in by shoes with lugged soles. The crevice tool is so short, at first I thought it was some sort of joke (but no, the tool caddy is the joke). Then I noticed a bit of innovative design, its nozzle folds, converting from the short, straight nozzle to a short, but 45°-angled nozzle, tipped with half-inch bristles. It actually showed some promise when I used it to clean pet hair and grit that collects in the tracks of our patio's sliding glass doors. Unfortunately, it quickly lost its ability to remain in either position. So, it is not only too short to be useful as a crevice tool, but it requires constant repositioning of the tip. The third attachment is a short, two-inch wide, 90°-angled hard plastic nozzle that seems to serve no useful function in our home, but may be better suited for use in the car. The "tool caddy" barely holds onto one attachment (the somewhat useful crevice tool), and makes no attempt to accommodate the other two attachments, but does not at all hold onto the wand so, recycle the "caddy"and keep the crevice tool in your pocket (or any crevice you find convenient). None of the tools are of much use for cleaning Venetian blinds, ceiling fan blades or the cages that protect blades of box fans, floor fans and pedestal fans, or the louvred doors of our closets and pantry, or any crevices deeper than an inch or two. A detachable hose and wand, a longer narrow crevice too, a brush with longer bristles, and a floor nozzle that stays on the wand during use, any or all of these would have been appreciated.
