If one was to pay it it's dues, Rainbow is also a "bagless" machine. No mushroom cloud when you empty. |

Being a big Dyson fan I love bagless vacuums , I think that most of them are ok , the trouble is that on the cheaper ones the cyclonic systems arent very good so they clog up fast. Here in Southafrica you can't buy a normal upright vacuum that still uses paper bags exept miele, sebo and Kirby.
Most people I find buy a bagless vacuum and then complain heavily in 6 months that the machine is rubbish as it doesn't suck any more. they bring them into our store and sure enough I ask them whether thay have cleaned the filter and the normal answer is , "but its bagless" If you keep the filter clean you will get good life out of them, little old ladys come in here every couple of months and get new filters and theres keep running for years.
I will say that in most cases in SA the filters are cheaper over a year than bags would have been
If my customers can't afford a dyson and they have staff using it I always suggest a bagged vacuum , unfortunetley normally a cyclinder.
I do believe you can abuse a bagged vacuum more than a bagless ( dysons excluded)

Hi Im New here. My take on bagless is simplicity as well. I own a Rainbow e2 and a new Amway Cleartrak. Having used so many bagless vacuums in my day, I have found the Amway to be the most hassel free. |

Just remember on ANY bagless,Dump cup,or dump bag vacuum--empty it after each major use!that way the cloth bags and filters will stay cleaner-last longer. |

I've seen one of those in person before i stopped into an electrolux dealer to see if they still did door to door sales, and the guy told me his son had another company that dealt with "health" so i assume filter queen but he said it wasn't so anyways after seeing the machine i was not impressed with it and moved along on my job hunt, for an expensive machine 1 micron filtration is pretty poor

Filter Queen claims 99.98% @ 0.1 microns with the Medipure, which if true, would be significant. |

I've seen the claim of .01 of a micron for the Filterqueen, it just seems like for how much the filtropur costs it should at least filter down to the hepa (.03 of a micron) level i mean if you look at other high end brands, almost all of them feature hepa filters, granted it's not necessary for most people but for the price you pay for one you'd think you'd get that level of filtration.
