This little vacuum cleaner packs a lot of punch for such a small package. I was so tired of lugging my large upright around that I decided to try a lighter weight canister instead. So glad I did! The Zing is just the right size for an apartment or a condo like mine. And because it is a bagged vacuum cleaner, I can simply drop the bagged dirt and grime in the garbage when it gets full rather than deal with the hairy, dusty mess of a bag-less. The lower price was also a big plus. This was a great value, and I recommend it highly.
