Those of us with allergies don't like bagless machines. Dyson and others are terrible when you empty them. There is no way to gently allow the dirt out of the container without it coming back at you. I have to give David Oreck credit, at least the bags on his machines prevent that awfull belch of dirt from hitting you square in the face. Of course, Air-Way and Electrolux also had a good idea. Air-Way gave you stickers to seal the intake of the bag before you lifted it out of the machine. Electrolux had the rubber seal built right into their bag. The Air-Way bag leaked far less dirt than any of the new bagless models. The Lux bag was not as good, but still not bad for the time. Someone on the comment sections of that first article hit it square on the head. Dyson may filter well, may have a washable filter (that still needs to be replaced on occasion or they would not be selling them in the store), but have to change the belt... the cost will scare you. Most people today don't use the vacuum the way they were intended to be used. I use the vacuum for everything, dusting, furniture, hard wood, tile, curtains, lamp shades, the car and even the garage floor. So attatchments are key for me and most of the newer machines don't have sufficient attatchments. Plastic bristles in the dust brush and floor tool, a small piece of velcro on the upholstery tool,,,, just not quality. Just my dime. Morgan |
