The Bagless Vacuum - The Right Choice For Your Home

As an avid golfer, I liken the bagless vacuum to the metal driver.

Just like there's really no reason to use a driver with a wood head anymore, there's no reason to use a vacuum cleaner with a bag either. Unless of course you just like nostalgia.

The bagless vacuum has changed (revolutionized is too strong a word) the way we clean our carpets. The benefits over the older models that have bags are numerous. But that doesn't mean you should just run out and get the first bagless vac that you run into. There are still some things you need to look at before making this major purchase.

It's no secret why these newer models have quickly become so popular. Anybody who has ever vacuumed a floor knows that keeping up with the bags is nothing more than a pain in the rear. With a bag free vacuum, you'll not only save time, you'll also save money.

For starters, these are so easy to clean. You just pull the chamber off, dump the dirt in the trash receptacle of your choice, snap the chamber back on and you're ready to resume your work.

Compare that to twisting off a bag (where there's a good chance you'll spill the contents), disposing of it, searching for a replacement bag (you did have some in the closet I think), then carefully putting it back on, lining up the tabs and twisting it in place.

Then there's the cost of new bags, if you can find them. Your vacuum cleaner probably requires specific bags depending on the make and model number. Hopefully the store has the ones you need, or you'll have to go to another store. That's if you remember exactly which bags you need before you get there. Otherwise you need to go home and double check before returning to the store. There is no one size fits all vacuum cleaner bag.

In other words, with a bagged vacuum you need to remember to keep a fresh supply on hand, and remember where you put them. It seems your current bag always becomes full at the most inopportune times, like right in the middle of your vacuuming when you forgot to purchase new ones or forgot where you put them. How inconvenient is it to have to run to the store in the middle of your chore, only to forget again what type of bag you need, or to find out the store doesn't have any more?

Consider all this and it's easy to see why the bagless vacuum has quickly become so popular.
