So what is a better investment the old school bagged vacuum or the bagless version? Before I get into which vacuum I think is better, let me explain the difference of each type.
A bagged vacuum cleaner uses a vacuum bag to capture all the dust and debris that you capture when vacuuming your carpets and floors. This type of vacuum cleaner uses replaceable bags as a filter that like I mentioned sucks up all the dirt but at the same time enables air to flow through the bag.
On the other hand bagless vacuum cleaners have no bags, they use filters to capture dirt into something called a dirt cup, that you can easily empty when it becomes full of dirt. So which one is better, the bagless of traditional bagged vacuum? I have listed the benefits and drawbacks to each type.
- very easy to empty
- can easily see when it's time to clean out the dirt cup, because of the clear plastic view
- more contact with dirt and debris
- can be messier
- filters need cleaning or replacing
- need to buy vacuum bags
- less contact with the dirt and debris, since it's in the vacuum bag, you never have any contact with the dirt
Personally I like the bagless versions, there are no replacement bags to purchase and that means I save money. Yes it can be a bit messier, but I just clean my vacuum on the patio, so if any dirt falls out it's not in my living room. All in all, it's more of a personal preference than anything.
