I am a total bagged vacuum fan but there is one thing I've always noticed. When I put a new bag in a vacuum and the clean the carpet really well, and then feel the bag to feel the dust, it seems empty. BUT, when I vacuum with a bagless vacuum, it fills up with dust very quickly. Although I have had experiences when a vacuum bag becomes full within days (A Hoover model #704), why does the bagless vacuums fill more quickly?! I mean I've vacuumed my whole house with a bagless and had to empty to 4 times! Does the bagless "fluff" up the dirt and make it look like a ton, or is there something about the system that really makes it clean better? I always thought this was weird...

Filter Queen's patented "Cellupure" cones are nice since U get tons of power with the FQ; power doesn't diminish until the bucket is COMPLETELY full. All U do is throw out the filter cone instead of washing filters like the dept. store vacs. | ||

bagged - sort of...
I'm always amazed at how much dirt i empty out of my Sanitronic or Classic Kirby's with the cloth shake out bag. I will start with an empty bag and it never fails, I'm always emptying a large klump of glop. They may be dust belchers, but they still impress me! Even at moms house with her using a Dyson, I still manage to pull up large amounts of muck with my older Kirby's.

All my vacs are bagged. I had two Royal Dirt Devils that lasted a year or two. I hated emptying the dirt I usually took it out side and dumped it into a plastic grocery bag. Love my Kirby and Electrolux vacs! | ||

the bins are relatively small, part of the room taken by the cyclone or filter insert. and the dirt gets spun around separating it, fluffing it up. | ||

Definitely a bagged preference here....
Once I get rid of dirt, I really do not want to see it again. Especially if it is combined with hair. I don't think I could stand looking at the dirt spinning around in front of my face as I clean. I am not always concerned about "loss of suction". Suction power is not the only factor in removal of dirt - nozzle design and brush configuration play as much of a role I feel. It may be fine to have a bagless cleaner if you live in a house with a backyard (and summer all year round) and you can dump the dirt outdoors into a big garbage can whenever you need to. But for those of us living in small homes or apartments where the dirt needs to be disposed of indoors, give me a disposable bag any day. I also can not imagine anyone emptying a bagless cleaner without spilling some dirt everywhere and needing to clean up the mess. And then there is the whole issue of vac users with sensitive allergies. Compared to the time one needs to spend cleaning the bins and filters of a bagless, it is indeed faster to have a supply of bags on hand and just make the switch when the bag is full or the suction gets weak. We never needed to change the F&G bag in our 1974 Eureka Gold Cordaway box-top-bag bag more than 3 times a year. And that was after cleaning a 3 bedroom, two storey house once a week by a cleaning person we hired. Mom also did a run-through with it every two days. Eurekaprince :) | ||
