Why You Should Trade in Your Bagless Vacuum for a Bagged Model

You've probably heard the radio ads for Vacuum Center & Sewing Room proclaiming "bags are better" for vacuum cleaners. It's true — most of the models you see in big box stores don't have bags, but bagged vacuums offer several advantages.

Considering you're going to be vacuuming your home regularly for years, those advantages really add up over time. Let's break them down a bit:

1) Better allergen filtration: Vacuum bags typically have multiple layers that trap dust, dirt, allergens, and other particles, and the filter is contained within the bag system, so you don't have to worry about replacing or cleaning a filter,

2) Hygienic disposal: Does anyone empty the canister of a bagless vacuum without spilling a little debris or releasing a little puff of dirt? With bagged models, most families only need to replace the bag 3-4 times a year, and all the debris stays within the bags.

3) Long-lasting suction power: Bagged vacuums often maintain consistent suction power no matter how full the bag is, thanks to their efficient filtration system and sealed design. In contrast, bagless vacuums may experience a decline in suction as their dust cups fill up — which ultimately means more work for you with more frequent emptying or less efficient vacuuming.

4) Maintenance is a breeze. If you've been using bagless vacuums for any amount of time, have you actually done any maintenance or repair beyond changing the filter? Many people just buy a new one when their bagless vacuum stops working well, but the bagged models are built to last. As Lifehacker says, smaller repairs like replacing belts can be done yourself if you're inclined to learn, but there also are a plethora of vacuum repair shops ready to help, including Vacuum Center & Sewing Room here in St. Cloud.
