Bagless vacuums are more and more popular with people ditching their vacuums with bags for them. When most people buy their first bagless vacuum cleaner, they often regret it pretty soon.

Here are the top reason vacuums with bags are going to rule.

Coughing Up Dust

You aren’t going to have to empty the canister very often. With a full sized upright you are going to be able to vacuum for a pretty long time without changing the bag.

With a bagless you are going to have to empty the canister every time you vacuum. This can get really messy and dusty, and is a chore that you are going to want to do outdoors (which can be chilly during the winter months). This is just going to add time to your vacuuming.

Did You Really Want To See That?

What is great about a vacuum with a bag is that all of the dust, dirt and gunk that you vacuum up is going to be sucked up into a paper bag, which you can throw away.

One of the gimmicks of a bagless vacuum is that you can see what you vacuumed up. This may sound like something you see, but trust me, it is disgusting.

I like not knowing how much hair (from me and the cat) that my vacuum picked up. I also like not seeing the dirt and dust swirling around. Why? Because it makes me feel guilty that I haven’t vacuumed more often.

The Myth Of The Lost Power

A lot of bagless vacuum companies tell you that you are losing power by having a full dirt bag. Sure, if your dirt bag is so full that it is overflowing back into the machine, you are going to have lost power, but if you change the bag on a regular basis, you won’t have to worry about it.

Breathing Easier

OK, it is true that dust and dirt can’t ever escape from a plastic container, but they can escape from a dirt bag. However, vacuum manufacturers are fixing this problem and a lot of vacuum bags are now made up of 5 or more layers, making it less likely that your vacuum is going to make you sneeze. What more could you ask for?

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of bagless cleaners. There are very few of them out there that are going to work as well as the bagged version and very few that are going to be durable enough.
