Sadly this is where it can become confusing in my life - whenever my aunt comes to visit and brings her zoo of animals with her - I always required a bagless vacuum.
I felt I was being economical than wasting bags, but would then end up using a bagged vacuum to contain all the dirt and hair. I'm now of the mind that regardless of tech improving with bagless vacs, that I just pretty much don't mind paying out for dust bags. Regardless of dust capture preference though, I find it has to be an upright with a brush bar - suction only only goes so far - even on fabrics like curtains where cats sit on the windowsill and leave their hair every where. Mini turbo brush tool jammed on gets the hair up in seconds. I don't particularly like having to pull pet hair off lint picker tools. The X uprights are great for removing hair off carpets but the Felix is quicker due to its 4 height manual adjustment and variable suction control for usage of the mini turbo brush on curtains. |

The only thing I find that works well with fleece are those sticky rollers, or alternatively just wrapping sellotape "the opposite" way around your hand and doing it manually.
I have had three Purepowers, well two and a Dustmanager that I converted to a "Purepower." The last Purepower had a broken pedal, broken height adjuster, HEPA filter door on the back kept pinging off and then the bin door kept refusing to stay on (brand new purchased from Amazon UK). The previous Purepower in the mid 1990s was better, a lifetime model with a lifetime reuseable washable bag though I used paper bags for the most part. In each case though the Purepower was powerful, both weren't terribly well made. The Dustmanager in a rented flat I was in was next to useless with its old fashioned split bin. Bought a bag holder clip from a nearby Hoover repair shop and just screwed it into the place where it would usually sit at the back and converted it. So much easier and longer lasting using bags there. |
