If you've recently been looking for a new vacuum cleaner, you might also know how many different types there are today.
And perhaps you've even come across the term "bagless vacuum cleaner". But what exactly is a bagless vacuum cleaner, and how does it differ from other types of vacuum cleaners? You can find the answers in this blog post.
What is a bagless vacuum cleaner?
Let's start from the top. What exactly is a bagless vacuum cleaner? The name might already give it away. A bagless vacuum cleaner is exactly what the term implies: a vacuum cleaner without a bag.
This usually means you simply empty the vacuum cleaner's container into the rubbish bin instead of emptying a bag. The container can vary depending on which bagless vacuum cleaner you choose. There will also often be a filter, which on some models needs to be changed occasionally. Typically, you can find out which filter you need in the manual or on the manufacturer's website.
Why choose a bagless vacuum cleaner?
When choosing a new vacuum cleaner, there are many things to consider, and this also applies to bagless vacuum cleaners. Ultimately, the choice of vacuum cleaner largely depends on your needs and how you use your vacuum cleaner.
But here are some good reasons why you might consider a bagless vacuum cleaner.
Save money on vacuum cleaner bags
You probably know the feeling. You spend both time and money replacing vacuum cleaner bags. You have to consider whether you're getting the right bags for your vacuum cleaner, and at the same time spend money that you feel you could easily have spent on other things.
You avoid this with a bagless vacuum cleaner. Here, you simply empty the built-in container, which means you can say goodbye to trips to the supermarket for new bags.
Maintain suction power
It's not uncommon for a vacuum cleaner to lose suction power when the vacuum cleaner bag is nearly full. And it can take a long time before one gets around to changing it. Therefore, you risk vacuuming with worse suction power than your vacuum cleaner actually has.
You avoid this when using a bagless vacuum cleaner. Here, you will usually find that the vacuum cleaner maintains the same suction power, no matter when you use it.
However, some bagless vacuum cleaners have filters that need to be replaced occasionally. This will typically be much less frequent than with vacuum cleaner bags.
Avoid rummaging through the bag
Most of us have probably vacuumed up something that was on the floor but shouldn't have been in the vacuum cleaner. Maybe you dropped a piece of jewellery, or perhaps the children hadn't quite cleared away all their toys before cleaning began.
And it's not always the most charming task to rummage through the vacuum cleaner bag for items you'd actually like to keep. With a bagless vacuum cleaner, you'll typically be able to locate your vacuumed belongings more easily, as the container is often transparent. This way, you can avoid sifting through too much dust and dirt to find your lost items.
You'll come into more contact with the dust
These were just some of the advantages of a bagless vacuum cleaner. However, it doesn't mean there aren't also some simple disadvantages. Especially for those who might be allergic to dust, a bagless vacuum cleaner might not be the best choice.
You will often find that you come into more contact with dust when emptying the container of a bagless vacuum cleaner than when changing the bag on a traditional model. Therefore, it might be an advantage to choose a vacuum cleaner with a bag if you are particularly allergic or generally sensitive to dust.
Which vacuum cleaner should you choose?
Here comes perhaps a slightly boring answer. But there isn't one definitive answer to this question that suits everyone. Whether a vacuum cleaner with or without a bag is best for you ultimately depends on your needs.
So, consider your preferences regarding home cleaning when you're thinking about choosing a new vacuum cleaner.
