One of the factors that determine the performance of vacuum cleaner is the airflow as it sucks dirt. The airflow in turn can be dependent on the bag, which filters dirt and allows air to pass through. Over the years, manufacturers have developed a model of vacuum cleaners that do not use bags. This article features how bagged and bagless vacuum work and their advantages and disadvantages over one another. Bagged Vacuum Cleaners Some vacuum cleaners have bags made of porous materials and is usually inserted between the intake tube and the exhaust port. This vacuum bag collects dirt and debris that are being sucked through the intake port. The tiny holes in the bag are large enough to let the air pass through but too small for the dust particles to fit through. One advantage of this type of vacuum cleaner is that the bag can be replaced with a new one when it is filled up with dirt. You just have to slip it out of the vacuum and throw it to the trash bin. If you have allergies, bagged vacuum cleaners are better because you will not come in contact with the dust. On the other hand, bagged vacuum requires you to continuously buy bags. Though vacuum bags are inexpensive, it is still inconvenient to change bag from time to time. Also, every time you vacuum, the bag accumulates dirt so you always have to remember to check if the bag is full before using it. Bagless Vacuum Cleaners As the name implies, bagless vacuum cleaners do not use bag but instead use dirt container to collect the dirt and debris. They also use filters that allow air to pass through and retain the dirt particles in the container. To keep the cleaner in good operating condition, you need to empty the container when it is full. One advantage of a bagless vacuum cleaner over the bagged one is that you can easily see if the container is full so there is less worry about forgetting to empty equipment. You do not also need to worry about buying new bags. Also, if you accidentally vacuumed something valuable, you can easily retrieve it from the dirt container. Though bagless vacuums do not require you to change bag, you need to clean the dirt container and perform regular maintenance on the filters. Cleaning the filters can be a heavy chore because they either need to be washed, brushed, fully dried or completely replaced. While it is true that you save money from not purchasing bags, you will have to pay for the yearly replacement of filters. Sometimes, the cost of filter replacement is almost the same as a year’s supply of vacuum bags. Emptying the container can also be a messy process since you need to shake or pull out compacted dirt from the bottom of the container. Most users of this type of cleaner often complain that dust particles are exhausted into the air and scatters back into the room. For pet owners, using this cleaner can be a pain in the neck because pet hair will stick to the equipments filter. The accumulated pet hair may reduce the performance of airflow so there is a need to clean the filter thoroughly. Over time, the filter also retains the odor from pets even if you clean it very well. You may need to replace the filter more than the recommended replacement period. Otherwise, your vacuum will spit pet odor that will stink up your house. The market for bagless vacuum cleaners continues to rise because the idea of not buying bags is appealing to customers. However, many industry experts predict that users will soon see the realities that bagless vacuum has more disadvantages over the bagged ones.
