I had a Bissell upright vac that worked fine on my carpet floors but when we down-sized into a smaller home with all laminate floors, I bought this Zing. I like the way it easily gets under beds and furniture, how its light-weight and has pretty good suction. What disappoints me most is the dusting attachment. Its ridiculously designed, tries to be 2-tools-in-1 but fails, and is at a 90 degree angle which makes it impossible to dust most surfaces. I'd like to meet the person who tested this item for them and stamped their seal of approval.
