Bissell Zing
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 Kenmore 10701 is a lightweight, bagless canister vacuum that excels at pet-hair removal and offers HEPA filtration for allergen control, making it a solid choice for small apartments and budget-conscious shoppers. Its short cord, modest suction power, and occasional wand reliability issues limit its suitability for larger homes or heavy-duty cleaning. Best suited for pet owners needing quick, portable clean-ups on floors, carpets, and cars.

Professional reviewers commend the Kenmore 10701 as the best vacuum around $100, emphasizing its lightweight build, pet-friendly turbine brush, HEPA filtration, and versatile accessories. While they appreciate its value and portability, they note the wand's reliability issues and limited cord length as drawbacks, and caution that its suction power may not rival higher-priced models for deep cleaning.
Everyday users generally praise the vacuum's portability, quick clean-up capability, and effective pet-hair performance, especially appreciating the HEPA filter for allergy relief. Recurring complaints focus on the telescoping wand's tendency to fall or stick and the short cord, but overall sentiment remains positive for casual, small-space cleaning.

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.
