BISSELL - Zing Bagless Canister Vacuum 2156A

BISSELL Zing Lightweight, Bagless Canister Vacuum, 2156A gets the job done. My .02 cents, use the clients vacuum whenever you're able. It's more sanitary and you don't have to worry about transporting critters between jobs.

As a cleaning lady I won’t touch cordless, bagged, or stick vacuums as they’re typically gimmicks or very inconvenient, with the same old technology and engineering that’s existed since the first household vacuums hit the market. Kirbys are very nice but expensive and heavier than hell, at least the ones I’ve handled that my clients ask me to use. You want a vacuum that can take a beating and be used on virtually any surface in your home, the Shark Lift Away Navigator Professional (grey with headlights), Shark Rotator with anti allergen seal (blue/green with yellow brush roll), or Shark Stratos with powered Liftaway. Personally, I hate silicone brush rolls. I’d much rather my hair get caught on the vacuum’s brush roll and have to cut it every couple of vacuums than what the silicone does. It will ball it up after a couple runs or if you let it sit on the hair in the carpet, so eventually the silicone deteriorates after about 200-300 vacuums and will no longer bunch up the hair, and god forbid you have a lot of hair fall. This is my only complaint with the Shark Stratos Liftaway, as one typically lasts 1-1 1/2 years in my cleaning business. 780-800 cleans per year, 1500-4000 sq ft homes. It can take a beating but eventually will stop picking up hair as well. The other two I mentioned, the navigator and rotator with anti allergen are my personal faves. The navigator has unbeatable suction, so much so that you definitely can pull up your carpet if you’re not careful with it. The rotator I have admittedly never used, but it takes my favorite parts of the Stratos and combines it with the navigators traditional brush roll and an anti allergen seal, essential for not undoing a dusting you just did. As for canister vacuums, bissell zing, all the way. I’ve had to use it on carpet when my Stratos broke mid clean, and it does the job.

Personally I would get a Bissell Zing or Miele C1. Both of those break down and can be stored under a bed or in a drawer. You want to stay away from stick vacuums as they require emptying every time and are not designed to be your primary vacuum due to the lack of power.
