Bissell Zing
Score: 75/100
Eureka WhirlWind
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Bissell Zing 2156A is a compact, bagless canister vacuum praised for its ultra-lightweight design and variable suction control. Its small 2-liter dust bin and flimsy plastic wand limit suitability for larger homes or medium-pile carpets. Ideal for apartments and quick clean-ups on hard floors and low-pile carpet.
The Eureka WhirlWind NEN110A is a bagless canister vacuum with swivel steering, a three-position airflow dial and a 2.5 L dust cup, providing convenient maneuverability. Its short 16-ft cord and modest power rating may restrict deep-carpet cleaning. It works well for small-to-medium spaces where ease of use is key.

Professional reviewers commend the Zing 2156A for its lightweight construction, easy maneuverability, and convenient features like automatic cord rewind, variable suction, and an easy-empty bagless dirt cup. However, they criticize its small dust capacity, flimsy plastic wand, and limited performance on medium-pile carpets, noting the absence of HEPA filtration and advanced sensors.
Everyday users consistently praise the vacuum's light weight, ease of use, and strong performance on bare and wood floors, as well as the convenience of the bagless cyclonic system. Recurring complaints focus on the flimsy plastic wand, the small 2-liter dust bin that fills quickly, and reduced effectiveness on thicker carpets.
Professional listings from Staples, Eureka's own site, and HSN focus on the vacuum's lightweight build, seamless swivel steering, and multi-surface cleaning capability. They commend the quick-empty dust cup and the three-position airflow dial, while noting the relatively short 16-ft cord as a limitation compared with some competitors.
Everyday shoppers repeatedly mention how easy the unit is to maneuver, especially on stairs and around furniture, and they value the bagless system with washable filters. The quick-empty dust cup and swivel steering are frequently praised, while no major complaints appear in the limited user feedback.
“weighs 10.23 pounds and is easy to maneuver”
