Bissell Canister Vacuum - What Are The Options Available?

Bissell makes two outstanding canister vacuums. The 7100 Zing Canister Vacuum and the 6900 DigiPro Canister Vacuum. Both are excellent choices, but are designed for different uses.

The Bissell 7100 Zing Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a lightweight portable vacuum. It works well for small and medium jobs. It can be transported easily from one building, house or apartment to another. It is ideal for small and medium size houses or apartments, especially those that are two story. At 12 pounds it can be moved upstairs and downstairs quite easily. Because it has a wand attachment, it can be used for floors or carpet. The wand can be disconnected and used for above floor jobs such as the top of cabinets and the corners of ceilings.

Generally these vacuums cost around $59 including shipping. The vacuum uses bags and motor filters. The filters need to be changed for every 5 bags that are used. You can purchase five bags along with the filters for as low ans $10. The bags are all that is needed to purchase over time for this vacuum. There are no maintenance costs and the vacuum will last years, so this is a good deal.

The Bissell 6900 DigiPro Canister Vacuum This vacuum is very powerful and only needed for large jobs. It can easily do everything the model 7100 can do, but over a much larger area. It also has a lot of features that come in handy for large jobs. This vacuum has automatic adjustable levels for suction. It can be adjusted for five different height levels, which is important when going from bare floor to carpets with various thickness. There is an electronic system for automatic detection of optimum height. This feature can be turned on and off for your convenience.

The five row brush can also be turned on and off. The wand is adjustable for changes in the work environment or the height of the user. The vacuum comes with a strong headlight for high quality jobs and a bag light indicator, so there is no guessing when to change for a new one. Additional features include a time saving automatic cord re-winder. Large toe tap buttons and fingertip switches for quick changes as you work.

The vacuum also has large swivel wheel for outstanding maneuverability. There is a large handle for carrying the vacuum, but the model 6900 weighs 27 pounds and is not designed to be carried large distances. Priced around $200, the Bissell 6900 is an excellent choice for large houses, or office buildings with large square footage. This would also be a good choice for schools and any other large square area carpets.
