I think the most common misconception about bagless vacuums is that people would automatically think oh my gosh, no more replacing vacuum bags this must be a good deal! Imagine the look on their face when they take their vacuums to the repair store only to find out that they need to change the filters on these bad boys. Getting a bagless vacuum would not save you that much money because in the long run the money you thought you had save is going to be going towards buying new filters! Funny thing is those people who don’t buy vacuum bags are exactly the people who are somehow anti filters too, and inevitably that leads to declined performance and downright dirty vacuums. The benefit from these bagless vacuums would probably be their advantage when cleaning pet hair, so if you are a pet lover this might be a good reason to consider a bagless vacuum, also considering that some houses that a huge volume of vacuum hair these vacuums can be very effective. Like anything in life, things wear and tear, these vacuums will still become filthy and filters MUST be cleaned and/or replaced depending on usage, so if you think about it vacuum bags vs filters, you are still pretty much spending the same amount of money in the long run. And I am assuming that you want to go through a few vacuums a year but rather have one that will last you!

Just a personal opinion of mine is that, sometimes these bagless vacuums give me a very VERY disgusting picture of things people will suck up in their vacuums *shudder*, that’s just my opinion but vacuum bags just hide all the “surprises” so I can dispose of them in my own convenience without having to gag at the site of the things I see in these things. But like I said this is just my personal opinion remember at the end of the day you buy the vacuum hoping that it is doing its job, so choosing according to your most important purpose and then look at design and form.

I can’t stress this enough when I say remember you are not saving money on filters and/or vacuum bags, matter of fact treat these as maintenance costs like you do on your car, if you want to rely on it you must treat it with the right tools!

Happy Shopping!
