  1. I have both. They both work well. I have to remember to buy bags for one, but it is easier and cleaner to empty. The bagless one usually makes a mess when I empty it.

  2. bagless it most of the time has a HEPA filter which filters out bad stuff but they both use electricity so ..

  3. Well usually the bagged vacuum cleaners are the cheapest one, because they will charge you a super amount of money for the special bags you then have to buy.
    And you then have to look for certain dealers in certain location who actually sell those special kind of bags, that might only fit that type of vac you have at home.

    While a bagless is mainly just a one-time payment.

    And most good brands have special integrated filters that you can remove and clean out ( or wash ).

    So if you are using a bagless one for a longer period of time, then this is probably your choice.

    But of course, if you are a cheap-stake you can buy a bagged one and then open up the included bag everytime its full and empty it. Then close it and re-use it!
    It might not be that "hygienic" but if you are not that picky try this option!

  4. My family has 2 VERY old bag Electrolux vacuums – one used by a woman born in 1899. These vacuums have cloth bags that can be washed. Through the years the machines have needed minor maintenance and repair (belts, hose repair). These machines were considered quite expensive at the time they were purchased, but have been in use for 60 years. That seems to me to be pretty good for the environment.
    My vacuum is a bagless. I really like the fact that there are no bags to burden the environment, nor do I have the problem of obtaining the precise one needed to fit the machine, and of course not the expense which like everything increases in price so quickly.
    With t the bagless, you have the option of what is done with the collected material. Unless there are new carpets in the house, the vacuum is picking up material that can be recycled in a well-managed compost heap.
