Vacuum with or without bag: what is the difference?

With a bagged vacuum, dust enters a vacuum cleaner bag inside the vacuum. If it's full, replace the bag. It's important to do this regularly. The suction power of the vacuum decreases when the vacuum cleaner bag becomes full.

• Larger collection capacity
• Changing the bag is simple and hygienic
• Lower noise level in general

• Suction power decreases when vacuum cleaner bag gets full
• You have to buy new vacuum cleaner bags
• Less freedom of movement due to the cord

If you have a bagless vacuum, you don't have extra costs for purchasing vacuum cleaner bags. The dust and dirt is collected in the dust cup. You can easily empty this above the trash can when it's full.

• Suction power doesn't decrease when the dust cup gets full
• No returning costs on vacuum cleaner bags
• Lower energy consumption in general

• Lower collection capacity, empty more often
• Emptying the container is a dusty job
• Less freedom of movement due to the cord

Stick vacuums are often lightweight and don't have a cord. This makes them better maneuverable and easy to grab. Depending on the included accessories, you can determine if the stick vacuum is suitable for your floor.

• Suction power doesn't decrease when the dust cup gets full
• No returning costs for vacuum cleaner bags
• Cordless, so a lot of freedom of movement

• May feel heavy depending on the weight
• Lower collection capacity, empty more often
• Limited vacuuming time due to the battery

If you have allergies, a HEPA 13 filter or higher are particularly important. There are vacuum cleaners with or without a bag that have this filter. But a vacuum cleaner bag works as an extra filter. In addition, changing the bag is more hygienic than emptying a dust container. So if you have bad allergies or you're very sensitive to dust, I recommend choosing a vacuum cleaner with bag from the list of vacuum cleaners suitable for allergies.

If you have pets, you'll often have dog or cat hair lying in the house. To easily remove them, you'll need a turbo brush. The turbo brush has a rolling brush that allows it to collect the hair without much effort, even on carpet. In addition, a vacuum cleaner bag works as an odor filter too in this case. When you empty it, these odors won't go back into the room. If this is what you want, choose a bagged vacuum from the list of vacuums suitable for pet hairs.

Bagless vacuum cleaners generally feature cyclone technology. This technology makes sure the suction power doesn't decrease as the dust cup fills up. It's easy and fast to grab a stick vacuum when you want to clean the living room or kitchen. They're often light and maneuverable, so you'll have a clean floor without much effort.

We recommend replacing dust bags once every 3 months. As a result, the costs you make when buying vacuum cleaner bags are the best. Because you do not need vacuum cleaner bags for bagless vacuum cleaners, you save a lot of money on not buying vacuum cleaner bags.
