When you are looking for a new vacuum,
one of the biggest decision you will be required to make is whether you want
a bagged or bagless model. While there are many conflicting reports
and recommendations available, please allow us the opportunity to show you
what you can expect from each type of vacuum. Many so-called benefits
of a vacuum actually compromise the integrity of the vacuum. |

BAGGED VACUUMS |
BAGLESS VACUUMS |
REASONS |
|
Durability |
Better |
Compromised |
Bagless vacuums typically
rely on large filters to trap what they pick up. Once these filters
become full, they create pressure on the motor, and can cause large repair
bills. |
|
Filtration |
Better |
Compromised |
The plastic dirt cups that
replace paper bags do not seal very well. This means that more of the
dust is recirculated back into the air in your home if you don't have a
paper bag. |
|
Cost to Operate |
Less expensive |
More expensive |
Paper bags, even for the most
expensive models, are far less than expensive HEPA filters. Most
bagless models use between two and four filters, and some of these filters
can cost upwards of $25. |
|
Ease of Use |
Better |
Compromised |
While paper bags have a
reputation of being difficult to deal with, they are far easier to use than
bagless dirt cups. Also, when you empty your dirt cup, you can get a
mouthful of what you picked up out of your carpet earlier. Not very
fun. |
|
Repairs |
Better |
Compromised |
All vacuums require
maintenance. However, bagless vacuums need more due to the above
mentioned problems with durability and filtration. Also, each time you
need service, chances are that you will need new filters, and that adds
money to your bill. |

|
| As you can see, we highly
recommend vacuums with a bag. While we do sell some bagless vacuums,
in nearly all circumstances, a bagged vacuum will be recommended over a
bagless model. When we sell you a vacuum, we want you to be very happy
with your purchase. To that end, we feel you will be much happier with
your purchase if it is a bagged vacuum. |
| |
| Obviously, all vacuum
models are different, and therefore, each model should be compared
individually. However, on the whole, we can safely say that you will
be much happier with your new vacuum if you choose a vacuum with a bag. |
