Many low-priced vacuum cleaners are bagless these days. Why the variation in price, and is bagless really better for you and your family? At first all vacuum cleaners were without a bag. All vacuums simply used a cloth filtration system bag to contain the dust and dirt. They leaked dust and odors, but they were much better than having nothing at all. Then paper bags were introduced to very dramatically cut down on the dust. The paper liners were a great enhancement because they cut down n the odors kept in the cloth outer bag, and the filth and dust could be thrown away without a dust cloud forming over the vacuum cleaner.
Approximately 1985 the without a bag vacuum cleaner became accepted. Originally, without a bag vacuum cleaners had a marked benefit over bagged vacuum cleaners. The HEPA filtration system that all without a bag vacuum cleaners use stops almost all the dust and odors from leaking out the vacuum cleaner exhaust. The good news was that the HEPA filters stopped dust from spewing out. The bad news is that the clogged up rapidly. They clogged faster if the air had high humidity or if you were picking up dog and cat hair. The dog and cat dander sticks to the filtration system and restricts air flow. The slowing air flow is also what cooled the motor. The motors in without a bag vacuums tend not to last as long as bagged vacuum cleaners because of this restricted airflow to the motor in without a bag vacuum cleaners.
My wife and I own a retail business offering vacuum cleaners and filters in Wooster Ohio. The two key reasons people ask us about without a bag vacuum cleaners is: 1) They want to save money on bags, or 2) They want less dust. Without a bag vacuums need a HEPA filtration system to stop the dirt. These filters are pretty effective. They also need to be changed at least once a year (more often if you have little children or pets) and, they aren't cheap, $29 - $59 each. It is impossible to spend as much for paper liners. High filtration paper liners may cost you a dollar or two apiece. You will spend less money on the paper bags than for the without a bag filters, even if you change the paper bags frequently.
Less dust? Do you use waste cans at home? Do you use garbage can bags? Why? Because it's way more sanitary when you throw out the liner instead of dumping the can with all of the dust being thrown into the air. Most high end vacuum cleaners now use micron filtration liners along with a HEPA filtration system at the exhaust of the vacuum cleaner. The micron filtration liners offer first-rate filtration, and they don't clog up and restrict airflow like the HEPA filters in without a bag vacuum cleaners. The HEPA filtration system at the exhaust takes much longer to get soiled because the dust is trapped in the high filtration paper liner.
Less expensive vacuum cleaners are almost all without a bag. The profit is in the filters, not the disposable vacuum cleaners. The higher end vacuum cleaners almost all use high filtration inner bags.
If you have pets, the pet dander is what sticks to the without a bag HEPA filters. We additionally urge to dog and cat owners that they use a vacuum cleaner with a charcoal filtration system to trap and neutralize the dog and cat odors. Also, natural fiber brushes on your vacuum cleaner's roller brush will not trap the dog and cat hair in the roller brush.
