Ugh, visited my dad....learned that he has a Hoover Rewind bagless(12amp). I studied it...found it to be stinky and this decided to tear it apart to clean for him. What a hassle these are!! Couldn’t get to clean all the tubing b/c I couldn’t reach it with a toothbrush ....uh, I think I’ll stick with quality bagged vacuums .

Just have to remember to empty after each use and not let it build up (that would explain the smelly odor). If the dirt builds up it will start getting into every crack and crevice it can find (especially with Dysons). At this stage you'd have to take your vacuum apart more and wash all the plastic bits or get one of those dryer lint trap brushes and run it through there to dislodge the debris.
I have an Eureka Brushroll Clean With SuctionSeal AS3401A and I love it. 3 months use and not had a problem with it (and trust me it's seen tons and tons of dog hair)! I think what happened in this era is that with the switch from bagged to binned, people don't realize they have to empty it every use (sometimes 3-4 times per use) rather than a bagged vacuum where you could run a bag maybe a month or more without having to change it. | ||

What I hate about the bagless vacuums is the dust cloud when emptying. I mean it sticks to everything.
Outside of the bin gets dusty and so does the vacuum. After just one emptying vacuum looks dirty so being a vacuum cleaner collector this seriously bothers me. Yes the bin in most cases is easy to wash, but you have to wait two days it to dry. Then there's the filters. I have several Sharks so the filter maintenance is needed quite often. With the Dyson (DC40) filters stay much longer clean, but washing the cyclone pack takes forever to dry. | ||

Bagged vacuums are just easier to maintain. Someone once asked me why I'd like a bagged vacuum and I told them about all the filters to clean in a bagless and that I'd rather just throw out the bag and be done. The idea seemed to catch on.
Plus if you want your bagless bin to stay shiny clean, it seems the spinning dust makes them lose their shine. They won't stay looking brand new unless you're always polishing the bin. | ||

What do you guys think about the bagless kirbys?
I've seen the bagless conversion kits for Kirby vacuums. I think those things are awful. For one thing a Kirby looks totally stupid with that bagless thing on it. When I got my Kirby, the fact it uses bags was a big plus to me. I got so sick of having to pick wads of dirt out of my shark with my hand. I emptied it every time I finished using it but dirt would still always get stuck on the sides and top of the dirt canister. I will take bags any day over bagless.

Bagless Kirby Kirby were traditionally "bagless" or actually a shake out bag for many years. If you are referring to the bagless conversion, I beg you with all that is holy, please do not resurrect the Keeler thread. | ||

I would never put a bagless changer kit thing on my Kirby. I totally hate bagless vacuums! Well I wouldn't mind a cloth shake bag but I hate vacuums with a plastic dirt container. And no offense to the rainbow people here but emptying a plastic dirt canister full of both dirt and water is pretty nasty to me. Especially if you have pets. Dirty wet dog hair. Just, Ewww!

 Unless there's water involved, a bagged machine will always be a better choice. Even the bagless machines that performed well, and maintained power, lose me when it comes time to empty. The good machines I can ge through the whole house before dumping, but if I have to go through the ordeal of dumping the thing out several times during use, FORGET IT! I only occasionally use the bagless machines specifically to avoid the mess and hassle on a regular basis. | ||
