Deciding between a bag or bagless vacuum

There are many things to consider when you purchase a new appliance. For a vacuum, there are many choices. You can go for a cordless or plug-in, an upright or canister, and choose a bagless model or one that uses an Ottawa vacuum bag.

Originally all vacuums were equipped with a bag to capture the dust, dirt and debris. They were non-disposable and needed to be emptied outdoors. Today there are several different models and styles, including the choice between a bag and a bagless. Bagged units collect all the dust inside the removable and disposable bags. Bagless sweepers have a filter that sends the debris into a chamber or bin, which needs to be emptied and cleaned periodically.

Benefits of using a vacuum with a bag include:

• The dust and mess are all contained within the bag and can be disposed of and replaced with a new, clean version.
• It is much easier to pull out the bag than with a bagless version, where you need to empty the bin into the trash and possibly release dirt back into the air.
• Pollutants are captured within the bag.
• Most bags can hold up to two pounds of dust, so you won't need to deal with the job very often.

Benefits of a bagless system:

• You won't ever have to spend money on bags again.
• If you are in the middle of a project and the bin is filled, clean it out and keep going. If you run out of bags, you are stopped in your tracks.
• Although you need to take care, clearing the bin is easy. You will also need to attend to the filter from time to time.

Both versions can come with a HEPA filter to give you cleaner air and to help with pet dander and pollen.
