Can someone explain to me how a bagged vacuum can have cyclonic suction?
I notice on the Aerus website that it says they have cyclonic suction which maintains peak airflow. How does it work? How long ago was this implemented in their vacuums? PS: In my Epic 6500 I did vacuum up about 2/3 cup of dry rice, but I wasn't sure if I should do it with a partial full bag, or do it at the beginning, so I did it with the current bag I've been using and it seems to have helped some. I also read where you can vacuum a small amount of fresh dry coffee grounds to keep the bag from developing an odor, so I did that, and it smelled like coffee brewing while I was vacuuming. I have always heard that coffee is good for refrigerator odors, so I thought I'd try it |

I thought that dust spins naturally in canister/tub vacuums as well though. I've seen it when I used to take the hose off my old Vax canister and watch the dust spin around in the round base. Or is that perhaps because it has a round base in which the dust flies around in circles before it finally dies down/attaches to the sides of the bag. |

Electrolux may have invented their own form of "cyclonic action" inside a bag, but in my personal opinion, it does NOT work effectively. And I will willingly admit this, even though I am a die-hard Electrolux user. They need to just give up on this silly claim! If it REALLY worked, you wouldn't see the bags clogging prematurely, or a salesman making silly claims that sucking rice into the bag will help renew suction....which for me hasn't worked at all when I tried it. What has worked for me is taking the bag out, giving it a good vigorous shake, & putting it back in. And in this day & age, if a salesman was to say the cleaner has "cyclonic action" the customer would probably say that only a bagless vacuum is "cyclonic".
Speaking of Electrolux's "cyclonic action" though, I have heard that the metal canisters, such as the Canadian 80-series, Automatic G, LX, & the other metal canisters, have better "cyclonic action" than the plastic-bodied canisters or the metal-bodied canisters with the plastic bag containers....is this true or not??

I think that what was confusing me, because if it had cyclonic suction, I would think that the dirt wouldn't get stuck at the entrance of the bag. I can see how vacuuming of rice would knock some of that dirt to the back of the bag. It actually did seem to help some. Not sure how it would help doing it first thing when you put a new bag in, but later on, when the suction starts to weaken. You GOTTA try putting some coffee grounds in also, it smells good if you like the smell of coffee, plus it absorbs odors at the same time.

All vacuum cleaners have some form of "cyclonic action", and that's regardless if they're bagged or bagless. In a bagged vacuum cleaner, it's created by the air entering the bag in a stream of high velocity and its force pulls the areas of lower velocity back into its stream. This process repeats, but reduces as the bag is filled.
That said, "cyclonic action" is definitely not the same as "cyclonic seperation". |

Because I have read posters on the forums say they picked up a used curb vacuum or something and the bag was packed completely full and as hard as a brick! It makes you wonder how that's even possible when the airflow diminishes so much when the bag isn't even nearly full. I've personally never attempted to keep vacuuming until a bag is packed full or even half full, but it does show that the bag vacuums do KEEP WORKING even though the airflow has diminished

Mark, the Aerus Home Solutions bags, as well as the previous 4-ply bags, are made by a company called HOME CARE INDUSTRIES in Clifton, New Jersey. They market bags to vacuum shops under the tradename "DVC" & in normal retail stores under the tradename "HOMECARE". These bags are EXACTLY IDENTICAL to the previous Electrolux 4-ply design they discontinued in the late 1990's. Aerus has contracted with this company for decades to manufacture their bags. They also make the paper bags for Sears/Kenmore uprights & canisters as well.
Do yourself a favor & just buy the generic bags....they work just as well! Rob |

I suspected such, but wasn't 100 percent sure.
I'm actually glad, because I bought a box of 100 on Ebay for 36.50 (I think), about a year ago when I bought my Epic 6500 so I have P L E N T Y! I think that electrolux C bags have got to be the cheapest bags (cost wise) of any vacuum bag on the market. I don't know of any other style bag where you can buy so MANY for that cheap, which is why I don't have a problem changing them so often. |
