Mfgr. description claims bagless, but reviews talk about having to shake out a bag - which is it bag or bagless?

It is bagless. The vacuum does use a filter that accumulates debris and must be shaken out per use, and occasionally washed; but it is not a bag, and does not need to be replaced unless damaged.

I bought the Miele GN that it has 3 bags,but it's a little expensive ($18) I'll go with ordinary one next time. I don't think there was an important difference between them.

I did not buy from Amazon, but mine came with a bag. It is not form fitting and offers no protection. It is the equivalent of a big reusable shopping bag.

Can't say as I haven't taken the bag off the bike since new. I use is continuously so no need to remove.

Actually, neither one. The dimensions of the bag (length and width) are the size of the bag when it is empty, laying flat on the floor. For instance, the extra large bag, listed as 50" x 30", is actually 48" long x 18" diameter when fully stuffed. The stated measurements, while true, are a bit misleading, since they don't really convey the size in a useful manner.

The bags have a Ziploc type top. You then vacuum out the air. It works great for me, but I have had one bag that would not vacuum seal. Probably a tiny hole in it some where. Figured it was a factory defect which will happen.

It comes with a bag, and is a real pain to get back in, but yes it does compress down. I would say it takes up the same amout of space as a gallon of milk, maybe just a little longer though. Hope this helps, CHEERS!

There isn't an inside bin or anything like that, so you really do need to use it with bags. The inside of the container has lots of ridges so it doesn't lend to bagless use anyway.

It is a plastic bag without branding. Not impressed myself with the product.

Great Question :) Yes that is a promotional bag that we added just for orders placed in 2013. That is in case you dont want to use the HEPA bags that come with it. That is a shake out bag that is washable and you dont have to use disposable bags if you use that. However it will make your HEPA filter fill up faster if you use that instead of the HEPA bags. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

Hi Lori,There is no bag. You open the top and a filter unit easily pulls out. There are 2 large media filters and 2 small filters. All remove easily and can be hosed off. It is a very simple process....much easier than a filter bag. Hope this helps you.

I prefer bagged as it is easier and way too cleaner to empty it. When it is bagless, you are choking in dust to empty it totally.

It rolls up lengthwise but is not compact. And no I do not believe it has a bag. At least not a carrying case style bag

Yes it is bag-less. The filter is washable and should be cleaned on a regular basis. It cleans very easily with mild soap and water. Rinse well and let it air dry before putting it back in the machine.

Yes it has a full bag indicator. I don't think it necessarily stops when jammed although this has not happened to me yet. I have not tried to replace the rolller or belt yet but I don't think it would be too hard.

My preference is the bagged just because I like to be able to throw all of the "junk" out in the bag instead of having to clean out the bagless canister. There may be other pro's and con's but for me that is really the only reason.

I have a frame that the bag folds over. Not sure what catalog I got it out of, possibly where ever I ordered the bags. It has been a while since I ordered them.
