Have you ever been in this circumstance? Fifteen minutes till a special dinner you set for you and your guests and all that is left is vacuuming the kitchen floor. Looking down at your vacuum cleaner you then realize that both the bag is full and the filter needs replacing. Panicking as you see the noodle and flour spills on the floor caused by cooking your elegant dinner; a simple ten minutes vacuuming job became a cause of panic and anxiety. Consequently you swear off bagged vacuums and decide to begin investigating bagless vacuum cleaners as soon as the dinner ends. Although bagless vacuums might be the solution to this problem it has many tradeoffs.
A tremendous amount of people question the differences between being the owner of a bagless vacuum cleaner and being the owner of a bagged vacuum cleaner. One of the principle and distinct advantages to owning a bagless vacuum cleaner is never being in a situation similar to the one mentioned above. A bagless vacuum cleaner uses a simple dirt bin that fills up and must be dumped when full, directly translating to no bag changes, and no fretting your current stock on vacuum bags. It is impossible for the situation mentioned above to occur if you own a bagless vacuum cleaner because there simply are no bags to run out of.
Lifetime filters is an additional benefit of bagless machines is found in the vacuum brands such as the Dyson. This popular bagless vacuum cleaner has the unique advantage of not needing a filter change. Dyson filters are washable as opposed to being disposable, a feature that saves time, money, and frustration. Dyson filters work by simply cleaning them every 6 months, and leaving them out to dry for 12 hours, directly after doing so you are able to start vacuuming. It is very important to remember that not all bagless machines include this feature, and other bagless vacuums may have you changing filters more often to compensate for not having bags in the machine.
Cyclonic technology is a feature some vacuums such as the Dyson, which allows the vacuum cleaner to provide the same amount of suction despite of the amount of filth filling the bin. So even of the vacuum dirt bin is entirely filled with dirt the vacuum will never lose suction. Again this feature is not found in all bagless vacuum cleaners, but should be heavily considered in you search for a better vacuum. A bagless vacuum that does not have the cyclonic technology will fill up with dirt and quickly lose suction, causing you anger and frustration.
Although there are many advantages to owning a bagless vacuum cleaner there are also some drawbacks. One of the biggest downsides of owning a bagless vacuum cleaner is emptying the dirt bin. When emptying the dirt bin the dirt does not neatly fill the trashcan instead it scatters everywhere leaving a mess all over the floor. Dirt scatters to the point where manufactures suggest going outside to empty the bin. For those with asthma and allergies emptying the dirt bin can become an agonizing chore as the dirt can easily trigger allergy and asthma problems. Asthma and allergy suffers should heavily consider purchasing a bagged machine as a bagged machine encloses allergy triggering filth within the machine, allowing you a healthier house.
An additional downfall of a bagless machine is the dirt within the machine is always visible; the tank holding the dirt will NEVER look clean. Your vacuum will reveal all the dirt within it and the dirt will not go away until you dump and wash the dirt bin. As mentioned above dumping the bin is not a 'fun' experience and washing the bin is an even more un-pleasurable and arduous experience. One must wash out all the dirt and debris that is clinging to the vacuum dirt bin by hand in order to make their machine look 'clean'.
Another disadvantage of some bagless vacuum cleaners is the filtration system. This does not apply to all bagless vacuums but some vacuums contain horrendous filtration systems. Many machines rapidly fill and congest with dirt the minute the machine is switched on. Dirt should be filtered through the filter medium, which in a bagless vacuum cleaner is located in the same place the dirt and debris is located making the filter highly inefficient and unhealthy. The filter is supposed to contain and stop dirty air from spreading within your house, but with this type of setup the contaminated air spreads throughout your house, which should be a serious concern for allergy suffers. Another problem with some bagless filters is the amount of maintenance and money that is required to upkeep the filter. Numerous bagless vacuums require that you change the filter every 6 months, this totals to an amount of roughly $80 a year. A total which is very high for a vacuum cleaner which is supposed to prevent you from spending money on 'extras.' The filters for many bagless vacuum cleaners are both costly and ineffective. For this reason it is vital to look for either a bagged vacuum cleaner or a bagless vacuum cleaner with a lifetime washable filter (an example being the Dyson vacuum cleaner).
There are both positives and negatives to both a bagged and bagless situation. When purchasing a vacuum cleaner the most vital thing to consider is your lifestyle. You have been provided with a list of both the advantages and disadvantages of owning a bagless vacuum cleaner so hopefully your future vacuum purchase will be ideal to your own unique situation.
