I've been using the bagless Bissell Zing for 3 months and while it works it's cheaply made with all the plastic components. I don't see it going on like this for long. I bought this Eureka vacuum for my home cleaning business precisely because it has metal parts. It's phenomenal! I like how this thing works - the suction power is great. It's durable, even the plastic components are good durable plastic, not such flimsy flimsy material. I like that it's very light (I have to carry it in and out, up and down). I also really like how the arm folds to better fit in my cargo hold. Oh, and the best part is the little brush that attaches to your arm - you just quickly separate the two pieces of metal, press the brush and quickly vacuum/clean the baseboards! OMG, this is a game changer! (No more crawling on my hands and knees to wipe down baseboards unless I get paid to wet them!)
