Bagged 100%. It’s better for your respiratory health, and if you suffer from allergies or asthma you should consider using a bagged vacuum cleaner. Bags do last quite awhile too, bagless vacuums have to be emptied almost every time you use it. Bagged vacuums might need a bag change every two months or so. Bagless vacuums became a marketing success due to not having to buy bags, and also all the artistic, fascinating cyclonic designs really catch peoples attention. I went back to bagged vacuums and couldn’t be happier.
My wife and I used to have a bagless cylinder cleaner. However because my wife suffers from asthma; she said that the bagless cleaner exacerbated her condition due to dust blowback from the cleaner's dust bin. We then bought a bagged cylinder cleaner and my wife instantly commented on how much cleaner the air is due all the dust being stored in the bags (which are self-sealing). Personally I won't ever buy a bagless machine again.
My Shark’s HEPA system worked well until heat caused the plastics and gaskets to warp. So basically, I can either choose between spending $40 on bags every two years, or $150 on a new vacuum every two years. After experiencing how much more power my bagged vacuum has, I will most likely never buy another bagless vacuum. Not only do I not have to worry about the filter clogging, I don’t have to worry about the HEPA filter going bad, because my bags are HEPA bags. I’ve had my Kenmore 31140 for nearly a year, and the compartment that holds the bag is still squeaky clean. (Because no dust is capable of escaping the bag) I can literally vacuum smoke and contain all of the contents in the bag. This means my filters will never clog. My filter had to be washed after every use on my Shark. This also means having to wait 24 hours for your filters to dry before you vacuum again. With my Kenmore, if the suction is lacking, that means the bag is ready to be changed. After each change, the vacuum is back to performing as if it were straight out of the box. This was NEVER my experience with a bagless vacuum. EVER. So all you have to ask yourself is this: Would I rather: A. Buy an entire new vacuum after my HEPA filter warps from heat after less than two years? (Keep in mind that NO truly sealed vacuum is going to cost less than $150) OR B. Would I rather pay $20 a year on vacuum bags? You save money with bagged vacuums. This isn’t me guessing, this is me telling you my experience. No Shark (or any other bagless vacuum) of mine ever performed the same after the first use. My Kenmore acts as if it’s new after each bag change.
That might explain why I only found one(maybe 2) Kenmore in the dumpster during my eight years living here in this huge apartment complex. And the only thing that was wrong with it was the bag was full. So I emptied the bag into the dumpster, and voilà, salvation from the landfill!
My opinion is the bag less ones are what I like using and they use less energy while running and some have an energy rating of A. I like the Bagless AEG model
i wish someone told me before i bought a bagless vacuums that it requires more maintenance on the foam filter every couple of uses to maintain suction power...
One way to tell which is better: what do the pros use? (office cleaning, hotel staff, etc.) They use bagged vacuums because it can hold more more dirt since it gets compressed. Ever seen a bagless vacuum used in a hotel? Nope! Bagless vacs have to be emptied often to prevent the canister from getting full. Also, bagless vacs have lots of tiny parts that can break, but bagged vacuums can handle a lot of abuse. The clear plastic canister on a bagless vac is a gimmick since it’ll get scratched up after a few weeks. Then you can't see whether it’s full or not, so you’ll have to empty it every day anyway. But with a bagged vac, you might only have to change the bag twice a year. The bags aren’t expensive, and it’s quicker and less messy than bagless canisters. I’d rather spend a little money on bags instead of re-vacuuming the mess that a bagless vac would leave behind.
Bagless vacuums are incredibly stupid! I foolishly bought one for my office. Emptying it put a cloud of dust right back into the room, causing me to vacuum the area around the wastebasket and then making wipe the dust off the outside of the wastebasket. Horrible. Then after a few emptyings the filter was so clogged I had the messy task of trying to pull the lint out of the little holes in the filter--a job best accomplished outside using a garden hose with a pressure nozzle--not an option for office buildings or apartment buildings. Why these things are so popular is beyond me!
I’ll stick with my oreck hepa bagged vacuum. Old dumb reliable technology. Also I love when he got to cons on the bagged version. Replacing the bag is about 1000 times safer for your respiratory health and much faster. No filters to clean no buckets to dump, no cloud of dust spores going back into the air and right back on the floor.
Which is why I wear a dust mask when I do empty my bagless dirt bin. But seriously, one TH-cam video said that no matter how careful you are, the dust is going to fly! Therefore it is best to empty your dirt bin directly into the dumpster or trashcan outside, while still wearing a dust mask.
I hate bagless vacuums. When they are being dumped into the garbage can, the dirt particles go right back into the air. And for me that aggravated my asthma. With a bagged vacuum, I never had an asthma attack while changing it.
Bagless vacuum cleaners are the best They aren't harmful to the environment like vacuum bags are which will build up in landfill and from a TH-cam video I watched the air that comes out from a bagged vacuum cleaner isn't that clean and bagless vacuum cleaners which have the filters make the air that comes out the back much cleaner When I empty my bagless vacuum cleaner I can do it without any mess at all as it opens at the bottom not the top
Also, bagless vacuum’s filters can leak after aging ever so slightly. I had a Shark that used to work beautifully, but the areas that held the HEPA filter warped from the heat given off from the motor. I could still snap the filter into place, but dust leaked through the (now failed) gasket. This resulted in me sneezing for thirty minutes anytime I turned the damned thing on, and then losing the ability to breathe through both nostrils at the same time. This also means that buying a replacement filter isn’t going to work, because it no longer fits in a totally secure position. Now that I have a bagged Kenmore (31140), I will NEVER buy another bagless vacuum. I personally don’t care about the cost of the bags. My health is not worth saving $20 a year. Plus, if I’m having to buy a new vacuum every other year, I’m saving money by buying bags. A new (base model) Shark is $150 Put me on the train to bag town beyotch, because screw bagless vacuums. Yes, they will eventually be as efficient as bagged machines, but we will all be dead and buried before that happens. Every new vacuum bag is essentially a brand new filter. The bag is full, you throw it away and replace it with a new one, and your vacuum literally performs as if it’s new. My Shark had to have its filters washed after every other use, or it would lose its power.
Again it depends on how careless you are when opening it. One good way to prevent this with a bag less is before you open the latch to the vacuum dust cup, put it as far down in the trash can as you possibly can and then slowly open the dust cup( don’t just fling it open). Another way to emptying it is just to empty it outside of the house so it will not stay in your house. You don’t have to worry about if it pollutes the outside air because compared to the entire outside world, what you dump and goes in the air is a very very very tiny amount.
I own the oreck in this video and I love it. The bag is super thick. The best oreck has ever made and it doesn't smell. It's had the same bag in it since January, and it's now September. I don't use it much because I own a couple dozen vacuums. Still no smell. It's a beast though
Orecks are great vacuums. People who use Orecks don't have children who are chronically ill with respiratory illnesses. I don't know if that's because of their efficiency, ease of use or exactly what. I think of all the vacs out there, an Oreck is your biggest bang for your buck. I used to hate vacuuming and put it off till I just couldn't any more because besides being just an exhausting task, I would be sick with a headache, itchy eyes, runny nose, scratchy throat and just feel yecky for a day or two after vacuuming with the POS bagless vacs. Once I got an Oreck and began using it, I'm no longer exhausted or sick after running it. It only weighs 8 pounds and all the dirt and dust stays in the bag. It takes about half the time to run it around the house than the bagless ones did, too.
I love my bagged Kenmore canister vac. I only have to change the bag maybe 2 or 3 times a year. It does a much better job than any bagless one I've used. Those I've had to empty after every use to get them to work sufficiently.
No offense, but that is totally FALSE. I have found, in general, of all the machines I currently own or have used or owned in the past, that bagless does have better suction than bagged machines. Problem is that paper microfiltration bags clog their pores up really quick, & the HEPA Cloth bags for most machines are relatively new in the marketplace....only been around since 2000 or so when they were introduced. And those HEPA Cloth bags, while trapping most of the dust going thru the vacuum, still have the problem of clogging quick. One exception to this rule, though, is Miele's 9 ply HEPA Cloth AirClean bags, those you can stuff 3/4 full before losing noticeable power. So, the technology for HEPA Cloth bags has yet to advance, but will in time. But the bagless machines, especially the multicyclonic & dual cyclonic variety, sustain & maintain their power FAR LONGER than bagged machines, as long as you maintain the pre-motor filter & change the HEPA Filter on the exhaust every couple of years. That fact, despite the suction being only average at the hose compared to a bagged canister vacuum which typically have the most suction with a fresh bag, does make bagless better. It's that sustained suction power that pulls more dirt out of your carpets!
Well, no offense JoeyPete, but your user experience with a bagged canister vacuum is definitely not average! Most households do have to change a bag every 4 to 5 weeks. And with bagless vacuums, you SHOULD be emptying them every time anyways, why have that dirt just hanging around if you don't have to?
Yeah my current canister bagged vacuum is awesome. It's probably too much for my use but I love it. I hated emptying the bagless one everytime...and with pets sometimes 2 or 3 times before I finished my house. LOL.
I would agree with that. Some bagless vacuums have a poor bin design & can be messy to empty. There are lots, though, that are relatively easy to empty....it's one of those things where it's best to try before you buy, see which design you like best. And yes, the Kenmore canisters are good. I have a 1992 Kenmore EVPC canister that is awesome. Only problem with them is, of all the models they have made with a HEPA Filter on the exhaust, they have only recently come out with a couple that have a Sealed System like Miele uses, the rest are unsealed & air & dust goes around the HEPA, which makes it pointless to have.
I use a bagless really because I like to see all the dirt. It makes it fun. I empty it outside always while wearing a mask. I don’t like how that some dirt gets stuck inside no matter how much you try to shake it loose so you have to wash the canister every now and again. Then after washing it you have hand dry it and you can never get all the water out so you have to let it dry out in the air for a couple hours for all the water to go away. If you leave even just a small amount of water in the canister and vacuum with it, the dirt tends to stick to canister and impedes needed airflow. For me, I wash the canister once every two months.
One of the biggest things that doesn't get talked about is the volume of air or CFM that a vacuum moves. The best way I can describe it is with an analogy, if you had a big mess on your hardwood floor would you clean it with a spray mop that uses a little water or a mop and a bucket of water? Probably the bucket because it can pick up more dirt. You carpet acts like an air filter and get full of dust and dirt, the more air you vacuum moves,the more dirt it can pick up. So what type of vacuums have high CFM ratings? Bagged vacuums! This is because a bagged vacuums has a shorter air path from the floor head to the bag than the spinning cyclonic action of bagless vacuums. If you can't find the CFM rating of your next vacuum,keep shopping!
Not true of all bagless vacs however bagless requires more filter mantinance baged will go much further between changing bag vs dumping canister what vacume is better depends on a number of factors like haw much carpet needs to be cleaned amongst other factors
Bagged are way better! I still have really old philips vacuum with strong suction 2200w. Even if filters are bad it still have good suction. I bought my first bagless vacuum dyson big ball and i just hate it. Suction is fine but the quality is poor (piece of plastic). So uncomfortable to use. I still use my philips.
You can get bagged vacuums that don't cost an arm and a leg. You not only have to clean the bucket with the bagless vacs, but the filters require constant washing and/or changing to keep them running efficiently. If you're on a budget, there's at least two Oreck commercial vacs that can be purchased for under $200.
@@karenpierce6424 on bagless vacuum cleaners it is called a Canister not a bucket The more correct term is a Canister Also bagless last way longer and are better for the environment
One great way to keep your bags smelling fresh. I use downy unstoppable or purex crystals. I recently learned how to make it myself though. If you buy a box of baking soda, bottle of heavily fragranced warming oil, and Epsom salt mix it together not using too much oil and, shaking as you add ingredients voila! You have home made version a lot more for about the same price.
Bagless requires filter change (once a year to keep the HEPA in mint condition), bagged requires bags. Considering cost, bagless is the way to go. But it's not a huge saving. Also when you empty the canister in a bagless, dust is everywhere. Do it outside for the love of god. With bags, you just throw them in the trash. Done deal. However they do start to stink quite often and can only hold so much dust - But you wont know because you cant see inside the bag.
The AEG BAGLESS HOOVER IS WHAT I LIKE BEST AND THEY CAN HOLD MORE DIRT AND ARE EASY TO CLEAN AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES. PEOPLE WHO HAVE BAGGED ONES ARE JUST REALLY LAZY.
Bagged vacuums are the way to go, much more suction. There just seems to be more air pulled trough. On mine you can see the carpet being pulled up by the suction, pretty cool. They go through alot of bags, but you can just buy the cheap generic brands.
Bagless vacuums all have very small HEPA filters with poor airflow, so suction power is much less than a bagged vacuum. I have to go over the same area of any carpet several times with a bagless vacuum. Vacuum bags have a much wider area for air to pass through, so it gets more out of the carpet.
You need to change the FILTERS more often in the bagless vacuum (twice a year to maintain air velocity) which can lead up to being more expensive than buying a box of bags (which sometimes include filters). And you cannot wash air filters. Some bagless vacuum manufactures say you can but that is FALSE. There is a reason virtually no vacuum technicians recommend bagless vacuums. Bag vacuums are superior to bagless vacuums.
False, bagless vacuum cleaners are the best there is as there is no need to spend a fortune every year on vacuum cleaner bags Bagless vacuum cleaner filters ARE washable on the most up to date bagless vacuum cleaners and the filters are also reusable
Your Shark's air exit is in the front of the machine; therefore, millions of minute particles get blown around and contaminate your air before the vac even hits them. The second thing is all bagless vacs leak over time if they're not professionally maintained and changed . Besides simple wear and tear from age, small particles of dirt get between the seals. The 3rd thing is if your filters are not meticulously changed and maintained, they don't work; and if you use the washable filters, each time you wash them, they are less efficient. And last, but not least, the amount of time and effort it takes to use and maintain the unit is important, and a bagged vac always comes out on top in that race.
Karen Pierce some baggless vacuums are maintained well and they don’t leak dust. So everyone has the right to have their opinions. If you prefer bagged vacuums then that’s ok. But some people prefer to have baggless vacuums.
I have a shark rotator professional lift away and it’s a great vacuum to have and has good filtration even though it gets messy when emptying the dirt cup but it’s still a great vacuum to have!
Hello, I have questions regarding bagged vacuums. When emptying bagless vacs the dust shoots back I know, but is it possible to empty bagged vacs in a similar way by patting the dust out and avoid re-buying the bags? I know dust is bad but just wondered if I could have the efficiency of bagged but without the re-buying. Also, do bagged bags have the same issues as bagless vacs in terms of replacing filters and such, or is it just a life of bag buying?
I change the bags in my vac once a month and vacuum every day. So I need 12 bags per year. Don't reuse the bags. I originally bought two 12 packs and send off every December for another 12 pack. That makes it so I never run outta bags.
@@karenpierce6424 bagless vacs are by far the worst home appliance nowadays, my mom has a shark and I only like that its quiet and easy to maneuver but my kirby g6 is way better and I painted my house with the spray gun attachment
you didn't touch on air purification. Bagged vacuums don't have the same ability to exhaust air in the same way that baggless vacuums do, which is why more HEPA and allergen free vacuums are bagless.
Actually a "clean air" or tools onboard style of bagged vacuum can have the exact same style of filtration that a bagless vacuum does, and the best filtering vacuums like Miele are bagged. With bagless vacuums you have to keep all the seals clean to maintain the filtration but the dirt in bagged vacuums stays in the bag and away from the seals and keeps more dust from clogging the post motor filter.
@@MarkAgueVacuums that's very true but the suction in bagless vacuums decreases much slower compared to bagless ones as the airflow goes down much faster as a vacuum bag fills are due to the amount of air goes through becoming much less That doesn't happen on bagless vacuum cleaners
once my bagless dies, i'm never going back to it. didn't realize i had to shower every time i empty the damn thing.

I bought my first bagless vacuum dyson big ball and i just hate it. Suction is fine but the quality is poor (piece of plastic). So uncomfortable to use. I still use my philips.
Bagged vacuums are costy but you dont need to worry about cleaning the bucket
You can get bagged vacuums that don't cost an arm and a leg. You not only have to clean the bucket with the bagless vacs, but the filters require constant washing and/or changing to keep them running efficiently. If you're on a budget, there's at least two Oreck commercial vacs that can be purchased for under $200.
@@karenpierce6424 on bagless vacuum cleaners it is called a Canister not a bucket
The more correct term is a Canister
Also bagless last way longer and are better for the environment
One great way to keep your bags smelling fresh. I use downy unstoppable or purex crystals. I recently learned how to make it myself though. If you buy a box of baking soda, bottle of heavily fragranced warming oil, and Epsom salt mix it together not using too much oil and, shaking as you add ingredients voila! You have home made version a lot more for about the same price.
Just empty the bag when/if it stinks. Bags are not that expensive!
Bagless requires filter change (once a year to keep the HEPA in mint condition), bagged requires bags. Considering cost, bagless is the way to go. But it's not a huge saving. Also when you empty the canister in a bagless, dust is everywhere. Do it outside for the love of god. With bags, you just throw them in the trash. Done deal. However they do start to stink quite often and can only hold so much dust - But you wont know because you cant see inside the bag.
The AEG BAGLESS HOOVER IS WHAT I LIKE BEST AND THEY CAN HOLD MORE DIRT AND ARE EASY TO CLEAN AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BAGGED ONES ARE JUST REALLY LAZY.
lol I wouldn't call anyone who use bags lazy .. You still have to vacuum manually so.
@@stephensnell1379 They're not lazy; they have a brain and use it!
@@karenpierce6424 exactly
Bagged vacuums are the way to go, much more suction. There just seems to be more air pulled trough. On mine you can see the carpet being pulled up by the suction, pretty cool. They go through alot of bags, but you can just buy the cheap generic brands.
Wrong,bagless are the best and they keep suction longer even as they fill up
@@stephensnell1379 you obviously haven't done any proper research into bagged vacuums.
@@stephensnell1379 also the suction on bagless vaccums do lose suction when it starts to fill up
Bagless are ridiculously retarded due to 10x more seal/ joint failure points. Bags for life!
Bagless vacuums get odors too, especially if you don't change the filters on a regular basis.
The odours aren't anything compared to bagged vacuum cleaners
The vacuum that I recommended is the shark rotator pro lift away I totally recommend this vacuum
Bagless vacuums all have very small HEPA filters with poor airflow, so suction power is much less than a bagged vacuum. I have to go over the same area of any carpet several times with a bagless vacuum. Vacuum bags have a much wider area for air to pass through, so it gets more out of the carpet.
Especially if you have a direct air vacuum like a kirby where the dirt passes through the fan
You need to change the FILTERS more often in the bagless vacuum (twice a year to maintain air velocity) which can lead up to being more expensive than buying a box of bags (which sometimes include filters). And you cannot wash air filters. Some bagless vacuum manufactures say you can but that is FALSE. There is a reason virtually no vacuum technicians recommend bagless vacuums. Bag vacuums are superior to bagless vacuums.
False, bagless vacuum cleaners are the best there is as there is no need to spend a fortune every year on vacuum cleaner bags
Bagless vacuum cleaner filters ARE washable on the most up to date bagless vacuum cleaners and the filters are also reusable
I just brought a bagless model with auto self cleaning, hope it will meet my expectations
That is impossible.
No vacuum can clean it’s countless air filters.
Care to post the brand and make?
How did it go??
Too much garbage in your face? There's plenty of space out in space!
Not all baggless vacuums leak dust my shark rotator has good filtration but I do also like bagged vacuums
Your Shark's air exit is in the front of the machine; therefore, millions of minute particles get blown around and contaminate your air before the vac even hits them. The second thing is all bagless vacs leak over time if they're not professionally maintained and changed . Besides simple wear and tear from age, small particles of dirt get between the seals. The 3rd thing is if your filters are not meticulously changed and maintained, they don't work; and if you use the washable filters, each time you wash them, they are less efficient. And last, but not least, the amount of time and effort it takes to use and maintain the unit is important, and a bagged vac always comes out on top in that race.
Karen Pierce some baggless vacuums are maintained well and they don’t leak dust. So everyone has the right to have their opinions. If you prefer bagged vacuums then that’s ok. But some people prefer to have baggless vacuums.
Oreck bagged vacuum
Orecks are the biggest bang for your buck, clean well, have a long life expectancy, and are probably #1 in saving you time and effort vacuuming.
Kirby G6 ftw
Better than last video I saw on the subject
I have a shark rotator professional lift away and it’s a great vacuum to have and has good filtration even though it gets messy when emptying the dirt cup but it’s still a great vacuum to have!
Just empty the dirt cup in the dumpster or trashcan outside while wearing a dust mask.
@@nonelost1 true
I HATE BAYLESS. .HAVE THE SUN SHINE IN YOUR PLACE WHILE YOU VACUME. LOTS OF DUST PARTICLES IN THE AIR

Hello, I have questions regarding bagged vacuums.
When emptying bagless vacs the dust shoots back I know, but is it possible to empty bagged vacs in a similar way by patting the dust out and avoid re-buying the bags? I know dust is bad but just wondered if I could have the efficiency of bagged but without the re-buying.
Also, do bagged bags have the same issues as bagless vacs in terms of replacing filters and such, or is it just a life of bag buying?
I change the bags in my vac once a month and vacuum every day. So I need 12 bags per year. Don't reuse the bags. I originally bought two 12 packs and send off every December for another 12 pack. That makes it so I never run outta bags.
Lol.. Look at how lousy these vacuums are picking up dirt.
Don't ever buy a POS shark
It's not just Sharks; all bagless are POS!
@@karenpierce6424 your right
@@vacuumboy6.0 Thanks, Dax!
@@karenpierce6424 yes but sharks are especially bad because they're not made to be serviced or fixed in anyway whatsoever
@@karenpierce6424 bagless vacs are by far the worst home appliance nowadays, my mom has a shark and I only like that its quiet and easy to maneuver but my kirby g6 is way better and I painted my house with the spray gun attachment
you didn't touch on air purification. Bagged vacuums don't have the same ability to exhaust air in the same way that baggless vacuums do, which is why more HEPA and allergen free vacuums are bagless.
Actually a "clean air" or tools onboard style of bagged vacuum can have the exact same style of filtration that a bagless vacuum does, and the best filtering vacuums like Miele are bagged. With bagless vacuums you have to keep all the seals clean to maintain the filtration but the dirt in bagged vacuums stays in the bag and away from the seals and keeps more dust from clogging the post motor filter.
@@MarkAgueVacuums that's very true but the suction in bagless vacuums decreases much slower compared to bagless ones as the airflow goes down much faster as a vacuum bag fills are due to the amount of air goes through becoming much less
That doesn't happen on bagless vacuum cleaners
