All vacuums will lose suction. They can get away with claiming to never lose suction cause they passed a test in which they did not lose a significant or any amount of suction after dealing with an amount of fine dust.
I used to have a Navigator Lift away pro. It wasn't a bad machine, but it's foam filter did get dirty fairly quickly. |

the new Shark "powered" lift away lite is neat. I've seen the TV add, but don't know the price. It's smaller than the original powered lift away, so it should be less expensive. My step daughter has a mid level rotator lift away and says it's great. |

The ONLY way a Shark will not lose suction, is if the foam rubber filters are cleaned after each use.
Shark's current lineup uses a single high speed cyclone. That's it. So all the fine dust is taken by the depth filters. I've always said bagged vacuums can easily "claim" no loss of suction - as long as you change the bag. |

Tom, I think as for bagged cleaners not being able to make the "No Loss Of Suction" claim, that would have been true in the past.
However, I think Miele could make that claim on their vacuums today if they wanted to & get away with it. The Miele AirClean bags are terrific, you can pack those bags 3/4 full before you even start to see even the slightest drop in suction. I predict there will be others too, in years ahead, once the HEPA Cloth Bag technology improves. Rob |
