Is bagged better than bagless?

I have had several "bagless" vacuums recently and I find that the receptacles fill up far too quickly, and they seem not to have the suction that this one does. This is a superior vacuum if you have pet hair on your rugs.

Most definitely. I don't like to take a big bag with me when I go out. I just slip in some cash, credit card DL and off I go. Wish I had seen it sooner. Hope this helps.

They are thinner and clearer and provide a smoother surface than a Ziploc bag. Not a huge difference but a difference.

Hey Rachel, The bag or bagless debate is all to popular. I think you'll find most people that buy bagless vacuums, will only buy them once. They usually return to a bagged model sooner or later. Bagless vacuums typically last no where near as long as bagged models. This is because bagless machines use a series of filters (some us the very expensive HEPA filter, like this Hoover canister) and as soon as those filters get dirty (the first time you vacuum) it creates so much strain on the motor, they usually burn up in 1-2 years. Go with a bagged model, you'll be much happier, and you won't have to breath ANY dust. There's really no good way to keep the dust out of the air, when emptying a bagless vacuum. Hope this helps.

eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing). However if you can afford them I highly recommend a set of the Eagle Creek sil-nylon Pack-It Specter Cubes. These are extremely lightweight, strong and unlike most cubes they're water resistant. Worth the bucks. Get a basic set now and perhaps in the future by one or two more individual bags to best utilize the remaining space in your bag. These work well using the roll method to pack. See YouTube for tutorials on "Ranger Rolling" clothes. Don't forget disposable T-shirt shopping bags for shoe covers.Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Specter Cube Set, White, One Size eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing).

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.

I removed about half of the fill for my wife and just a little less on mine. It comes down to personal preference. I save the extra fill in heavy duty zip lock bags so it will stay fresh incase I need to add some back.

You can use the standard bags - I do. Honestly, their bags are superior just a bit costly for me. Also, I procrastinate. By the time I'd get online to order their bags, I'd be long out!

Yeah, I think so. They're both approximately stuffed-reusable-grocery-bag size, but if you had a backpack that stuck out the top, it would still work. And then you could put something across the top and bungee it down, and have even more. Definitely. That's what I plan on doing with these eventually.

Metro-you can just take the components you need separately so you aren't always having to lug the big bag. Also good if the table or counter you're putting it on has limited space. The motor is the same though so if cost is the driving factor the tote will work.

They are bagged, then boxed and really well-protected. There should be no problems...at least I had none.

The bag is sewn together with a unique double-stitched method that improves durability and makes it easier to empty the bag. The seam will hold for a long time. And, of course, if it doesn't, you're still covered by our Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

Not neatly, there's alot of leftover bag. But I use regular bags. You canbuy the fitted ones for not THAt much more than the regular, but I'd rather just get them at the store. I did buy the special bags for the small side. I use that side for trash and the big side for recycling.

Definitely. Just the same. These are less expensive and just as good (or maybe better) than FoodSaver bags.

I like the bagless, so glad I don't have to keep spending money on the bags. But with that said, I live on a property where I can go outside and dump the canaster in the field over the fence, then I take the filter out and bang it on the fence post, It works perfectly every time. I have to empty the canaster often, pretty much once per room that has carpetting, less for hard wood floors. If I had to dump this in my trash in the houe every day, I am pretty sure I would consider going back to one with bags. The dust that comes off the filter when I am cleaning it is overwhelming even outside sometimes. I like the bagless, so glad I don't have to keep spending money on the bags.

I don't know which one is the best since I only own and use the original size. However, if I traveled more frequent I would invest in the travel size to take up less space in me bag.

Yes. I actually rarely used the bagger. it does a great job of mulching without the bagger attached.
