I am not a Dyson seller. This is a real appraisal.
Originally all vacuums were bagless. All vacuums basically used a cloth container to surround the airborne debris and dirt and pet hair. They leaked airborne dirt and dust and odors, but they were significantly better than using nothing at all. Next paper liners were introduced to very dramatically cut down on the dust.
The liners were a big step up because they cut down on the odors kept in the fabric outer container, and the filth and dirt could be thrown away without a dust cloud forming above the vacuum cleaner.
Around 1985 the bagless vacuum cleaner grew to become prevalent. At first, bagless vacuums had a distinct advantage over bagged vacuums.
The HEPA filter that all bagless vacuums need stops virtually all the dust and odors from leaking out the vacuum cleaner exhaust. The excellent news was that the HEPA filters stopped up airborne debris from spewing out.
The awful news is that they clogged up swiftly. They clogged sooner if the air had high wetness or if you were vacuuming family pet fur. The family pet pet dander sticks to the filter and slows air movement. The slowing air movement is also the thing that cooled the motor.
The motors in bagless vacuums tend not to stay fresh as long as bagged vacuums because of this constrained airflow to the motor in bagless vacuums.
Now we have a local small business selling vacuums and filters in Wooster Ohio. The two most important reasons buyers ask us about bagless vacuums is: 1) They want to save money on bags, or 2) They want less dirt.
Bagless vacuums similar to the Dyson, need a HEPA filter to impede the dirt. These filters are very successful. The bagless filters also really need to be changed at the least yearly (more often if you have young children or dogs or cats) and, the bagless filters are not economical, $29 - $59 each.
It's ridiculous to spend as much for liners. High filtration liners can cost you a dollar or two each. You'll spend less money on the paper bags than for the bagless filters, regardless of whether you change the bags habitually.
Not as much airborne debris?
Do you use waste cans at home? Do you utilize trash can liners? Why? Because it's far more sanitary whenever you throw out the paper filter bag rather than of dumping the can with all the airborne debris being thrown into the air.
Nearly all high end vacuums today utilize micron filtration paper bags along with a HEPA filter at the exhaust of the vacuum cleaner. The micron filtration paper bags offer first-rate filtration, and they don't clog up and impede airflow such as HEPA filters in bagless vacuums. The HEPA filter at the exhaust takes much longer to get filthy because the grime is ensnared in the high filtration paper liner.
Not nearly as costly vacuums are just about all bagless. The revenue is in the filters, not the disposable vacuums. The higher end vacuums just about all use high filtration inner paper bags.
The exception to this is the Dyson. It is a well designed vacuum cleaner that is certainly not economical. Starting at about $399, they are the top of the line in bagless vacuum cleaners.
In the event you have dogs or cats, the cat dander is what sticks to the bagless HEPA filters. We also suggest to cat owners that they get a vacuum cleaner with a charcoal filter to block and defuse the family pet odors.
Furthermore, natural fiber brushes on your vacuum cleaner's roller brush will not catch the family pet fur in the roller.
