Bagged versus Bagless 

I was on the fence between the Miele Cat and Dog bagged or bagless. You just made up my mind for me. Thank you!!!!

Thank you for putting into words how I felt about the bag less vacuums. I've always had canister vacuums. I had a friend who I occasionally visited and had to sleep in a blow up bed on the floor and her carpet was filthy. I asked her what she was using and she shows me this $80 vacuum that she bought from Walmart. So the next time, I brought my Sears vacuum with a dirt indicator light that turned green when that area was not picking up any more debris. She watched as I had to roll over one spot 20 times before the indicator light turned green. So she wanted a new vacuum, but she went bag less and I kept thinking that there's no way that bag less was a better option, but it wasn't my money and I didn't know what to say.

Great presentation. I appreciate that you make it informative without being too dry or boring. Great info.

Thank you for this video. I was on the fence about bag or bagless for our new vacuum.

Great 👍 video. thanksI'm looking for cordless vacuum that is light as I've been injured in car crash and can't lift heavy things. Now I understand why bag less vacuums are so heavy, so I will look for cordless bagged vacuum

I'm a collector so I have both. I don't use bagless machines often but I empty them into a bag so dust doesn't fly everywhere. I empty in a garage BTW. In my opinion I recommend to buy a bagged vacuum. They are more sanitary and more convenient because you don't have to clean the bin every now and then. Yes bags can be expensive but you don't have to replace a bag a whole lot.

Thank you! Very useful video, very informative.

Great explanation. Thank you sir.

My wife and I used to have a bagless cylinder cleaner. She complained how much the dust blowback from the bin affected her asthma. Her mother suggested that we get a bagged cleaner like the one she has. We went out and bought one. My wife instantly appreciated how much 'cleaner' and 'fresher' the air is in the house is due to all the dirt being stored in the self-sealing dustbag. The dustbags in our cleaner last a good few months before they need to be changed as we have mainly wooden flooring in our house. I would never go back to a bagless machine again. The extra money spent on new dustbags is a small price to pay for having a far cleaner and fresher house. This review is fully subjective so feel free to disagree if you wish, but I fully stand by my bagged cleaner. Have a good evening all!

great job! thanks!

This was a great explanation of why bagged machines are superior. Not many people get into the details of how it protects the motor. I've always said that bagless vacuums were an invention to a problem that never existed. The fact that people think it's more convenient to empty a dust bin instead of throwing away is mind boggling. I've used a Dyson DC65 a few times (belongs to my girlfriend's mother) and it feels so cheap and flimsy. I'd never buy one. I have an old Royal Classic Edition, a Sebo X4, and a Simplicity Synergy (same as the Riccar Radiance) and I'd love to take them all to her house one day and show her how inferior the Dyson is to them in performance, design, and build quality.

Helpful info! However, bypass airflow's actually into the fan chamber (shiny portion of motor) and exits flowing over the armature/stator motor portions (blackish areas)....the reverse of what's shown early in the video.

Ah that makes sense now, thats why the dyson will shut down if the filter is blocked, after less than 10mins. I just got a henry quick, it has a bag

Bags adds layers of filtration, your lungs will thank you

Thank you for the information...nd making distinction....👍🏻🙂

Very well done

Thanks for the video :-)

Hi. What will your opinion be on water filtration vacuum cleaner?

Bagged all the way! Had bagless and they're ok but with my allergies, bagged is best

Thank you for your video, Question: In the Bagged vacume, can you change the filter??

I appericate the information and take, but I think there are some misconceptions about filtering area and filtering ability. I wanted to hear a pro-bag argument and I'm glad I did but from what I see, assuming your using a high end bagless that's truly sealed, it looks like thats still the way to go.

Brilliant video. Just 2 questions. I know it would cause a dust issue but is it possible to empty a bag into the bin and re-use it hundreds of times? Secondly, I hear what you say about washing filters opens the pores, but regardless is it possible to do the same with bagged vacs (rinse the bags)? Thanks.

Do you have any recommendations for bagged vacuums cleaners for home use? Trying to spend less than $200.

I have a beam central vacuum and I converted it to use bags bags are so much better

Bagged all day long.

This is the information that everyone needs to know but nobody wants to hear... Bag-less is OK for smaller spaces and hardwood floors, they work great until you try to clean them after a few uses...

DIRECT AIR GANG RISE UP!

my dyson DC25 has lasted me 10 years so far, and I vacuum regularly. I get 10 washes out of the pre-motor filter, and I have to change the post motor filter at the same time. a Bagged vacuum I would have to invest in bags, filters, rubber band things to make to make the brush turn, and be a slave to the vacuum store. Dyson is the King if you take care of you stuff

I liked bagged vacuums for their ease of replacement but I also like bagless as for some strange reason I enjoy seeing the dirt and dumping it. Not very scientific I know but it is what it is. On another note if you do go bagless for the love of God do not fill past the fill line or you will wreck your bagless machine! I own a Kirby Legend II and soon to own a Dyson. Yeah, I'm silly like that yo!

alrighty then, bagged it is.

What exactly is the problem with "washable-filter-media" in bag-less vacuums?

That there is a pre motor There is a second fully sealed HEPA after the motor Also I did some maths on bagged machines and if you bought 50 bags overtime you might have already payed for the vacuum again

Chris can you please send me a private message?

Exaust not outtake

Love my bagless Bissell Powerforce! I have been stuck with bagged vacuums. Wow i hate them! It's so limiting and frustrating to keep changing the bags, not to mention expensive and wasteful. I'm so happy with the amount of dirt and dust mine picks up that the other, bagged, more expensive vacuum i had. I will never use a bagged vacuum again. They are outdated.

I hope that one day all bagged vacuums will die.

bagless vacuums are nasty I wish they were never invented

Bagels is harmful specially y'all need make more bagged vacuum cleaners stop making bagles specially they are hamrful for your health

Hen has a very poor understanding of what he is talking about 1.He is demonstrating air flow as thru the motor before going thru it's fan - this is WRONG- air leaves the fan before going thru the motor and in so doing COOLS the motor. 2. He talks of spining brushes - there is no such thing ! The carbon brushes CONDUCT ELECTRIC CURENT !!!!! to the commutator of the motor and this curent passes thru the windings of the SPINNING armature. 3. The socalled POST-MOTOR filter is really post the main filter which is in the cyclonic chamber - this means that any very fine particulate matter, which has not been retained by the main filter e.g a virus, " may be stopped" by this filter - genrally this "filter" is a place where a perfumed pad is placed !! 4, When he compares filtration area he shows he is quite unaware of the pleated; reinforced; paper filter which is within the cyclonic chamber of the bagless vacuum cleaner. 5, The so called "swirling around" in the cyclonic chamber is to seperate the heavier particulate matter from the lighter so that only the lighter is removed by the filter - which is WITHIN the cyclone. The cyclone's filter should be removed when the dust chamber is emptied, and it is usual to clean it by "rapping" it against say - an out side wall - this proceedure is perhaps the MAIN/ONLY disadvantage of a bagless cleaner. The big advantage is that one is always aware of how much dirt is in the machine . I have see bags so full that there is practically no flow i.e. no cleaning. Mind you that is not to say that I have not seen a bagless cleaner where the user has not refitted the cyclone filter but just thown it out with the dirt.
