Are you one of the millions upon millions of people that have fallen for the biggest scam in the past ten years?

There is no way that a "Bagless" vacuum is superior to the old tried and true "Bagged" vacuum sweeper.

Hey, I purchased a few of them and was facinated by the swirling dust you can see spinning around inside the dirt cannister.

Then, I found out it has a "filter" you need to clean after everytime you use it, then there is another filter you should clean after a week, then there is a "Hepa filter" you should purchase for ten dollars once a month.

Cleaning filters and changing filters was killing me!

After I vacuum the house with a "bagless" and sit on the couch with the sun shining in the front window, I can see dust particles floating in the air.

Anyway, I was another sucker that fell for the gimmick.

I went over to Sears and purchased a "Hoover" that uses bags.

Now, my house is clean!

When I vacuum the house and start noticing a smell from the the vacuum sweeper, I simply put on a new fresh bag.

I change bags about once a month and find them on the internet
for about a dollar or two apiece. Life is easy now! I just
vacuum the carpet, then put the vacuum away until next time.

I don't believe I actually used to dump the cannister of dirt into my trash can with the cloud of dust billowing around me.

What a fool I was!

Those conventional vacuums, either bagged or canister don't work on the shed that the dogs and cats leave behind. I had to get a shop vac for this job. There is no way I am going back to using those weak ass, clogs all the time vacs. To empty it I just put the thing in a plastic bag and dump. Same with the filter, enclose it in a bag and shake.
 
I have a hoover wind tunnel with a bag....

Been preforming great for about 5 years now
 
Bagless for sure. Changing bags sucks ass.

Have you ever emptied your bagless? What a mess! And washing those filters? Forget it! I had a bagless and got rid of it within a year...
 
We got a "state of the art" bagless a year ago last summer.

Big mistake. Doesn't handle pet hair well at all.
 
Get a Henry. There's a reason the professionals use them.
 
I like my bagless. It does a better job than any bag vacuum I've ever had. Changing the filters is a pain in the ass, but my husband does that and I do the vacuuming so we both win.

Same here. We got the Dyson pet thing. Works great. Canister all the way, for me.

Of course, after we got the vacuum, we lost the pets. But still.
 
Builders use them all the time over here. They don't blow up when you vac up bits of rubble or screws and shit.

Same here. This bad boy lifts the carpet up, too. Although it is rather old carpet I am comforted that it is sucking up all the debris the dogs bring in. Now bottle caps it will not pick up because the tube is too narrow.

I have a bagless built in vacuum. It not only has twice the suction any bagged vacuum has, it exhausts outside so nothing is carried through and returned to the house atmosphere. It picks up all the hair, fur and other stuff left by the pets. The only down side is emptying the damn thing. It has a 20 gallon canister and when full is heavy, as well as full of house dust.

But I wouldn't trade it for any other model on the market.It works better than anything I've ever used, including my shop vac.
