Detailed FAQ

Q: What types of floors can the BISSELL Zing clean?

• The BISSELL Zing is designed for hardwood floors, tile, low-pile carpets, and rugs. It works well on flat surfaces and low-pile carpets, but it might struggle with high-pile or plush carpeting.

Q: How do I replace the dust bag?

• Replacing the dust bag is straightforward. When the bag is full or needs to be replaced, simply remove the canister, detach the bag from the nozzle, and replace it with a new one. Bags are sold separately and are easy to find online or at most stores that carry BISSELL products.

Q: How long is the power cord?

• The power cord is 15 feet long. While it’s not the longest cord available, it should suffice for small to medium-sized rooms.

Q: Is this vacuum good for pet hair?

• The BISSELL Zing can handle some pet hair, especially on hardwood floors and low-pile rugs. However, it’s not as efficient on thick carpets with heavy pet hair accumulation. For homes with multiple pets, a more powerful vacuum may be more suitable.

Q: Is it easy to store?

• Yes, the vacuum is compact and lightweight, which makes it very easy to store in small spaces, such as closets or under furniture.

Q: Does the BISSELL Zing have adjustable suction power?

• Yes, the BISSELL Zing has adjustable suction power, which makes it versatile for cleaning different types of surfaces. You can adjust the suction to be lighter for delicate surfaces or stronger for tougher cleaning jobs.

Q: Can I use this vacuum on high-pile carpet?

• While the BISSELL Zing can work on low-pile carpets and rugs, it may not perform well on high-pile or deep carpets. It doesn’t have the same level of suction or power as larger, more expensive models designed specifically for deep cleaning thick carpets.

Q: How often do I need to replace the dust bag?

• The frequency of replacement depends on how often you use the vacuum and the type of debris you’re picking up. Typically, the dust bag needs to be replaced after several uses, but it’s best to check the bag when the suction begins to diminish or when it appears full.

Q: Does this vacuum have a HEPA filter?

• No, the BISSELL Zing does not have a HEPA filter. It does have a multi-stage filtration system, which can help with dust and allergens, but it's not as effective as a HEPA filter, especially for those with severe allergies.

Q: Is the vacuum bag reusable?

• No, the dust bags are not reusable. Once the bag is full or gets too dirty, it should be replaced with a new one.

Summary

The BISSELL Zing Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner is an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable, lightweight, and compact vacuum. It's especially well-suited for homes with hard floors and low-pile carpets. Its bagged system and decent suction make it an ideal option for light, everyday cleaning. However, it may not be powerful enough for deep cleaning or heavy-duty tasks, and the noise and smaller capacity could be a drawback for some users.
