Seeking Rec for New Vacuum Cleaner - Page 2

 

In article


Its no big deal to empty a bagless vacuum cleaner. What I do is empty my
vacuum cleaner into one of those plastic shopping bags, then seal it,
then throw it away. No mess. No fuss.

Then it is not completely "bagless".   :)

Dear Wife brought home a $$$ dyson bagless.  I bristled a bit, but find
it is well-designed and a pleasure to use/empty.  Changing bags was, for
me, much less pleasant, slower, and dustier.

One nice thing about this design is the dirt container is clear so you
can see what (and how much) is in there.

Don't get a bagless. I thought after buying an Oreck Excel I could
never find a worse cleaner. Wrong. My wife bought a bagless Vax and
it's crap. After half a house you need to dismantle it and clean 3
filters. There's even a part of it clogged up which needs unscrewing
to get at. Who's gonna do this? And don't think you can leave it coz
if the filters are even slightly dusty the suction switches off and it
simply doesn't work. Cannister never gets more than 25% full as it
stops working way before that.
Utter shite.

 



That's the only bagless I've ever heard of that has such a problem.  I
know we've used bagless vacs for years and never had to clean a
filter.  Oh, I guess some could interpret dumping the dirt cup as
cleaning a filter, as there is a filter in that general area.  But I've
never had to empty the dirt cup before the whole house was done.
And I've never seen the thing more than half full.  I'm not sure
what would happen if it ever got full, but I doubt it would shut
itself off.  

Sounds like someone bought a bagless vac with a major design flaw.
But I'd be shocked if any major brand bagless had the same problem.
