In 3 words : No. Vaccum. Bag.
- raverbashing 8y agoBagless vacuums aren't better. Really Cleaning dust out of a bagless vacuum is bad if you have allergies. Buying the bags is an annoyance but it is the lesser one.
- cududa 8y agoJust get a subscription to them on amazon and you never have to think about it outside the 4 minutes it takes you to change the bag
- joering2 8y agoI seen Henry and Hetty being used on a cruise ship and fell in love with a little happy blue guy. Too bad you cant get any of the line in USA. I dont think they have representation in North America.
- gonvaled 8y agoI have been using a bagless vacuum for some years (no Dyson), and I am quite happy. You have to clean it sometimes, and it is a bit messy, but you can do that in the sink after emptying it in the bin, so it's not like dust is going to be flying around. I am happy to avoid buying and changing bags.
- dovik 8y agoA lesser one excepted when your bags were retired from market -> need to buy a new vacuum even if the older one was still functional.
- newnewpdro 8y agoThat is not unique to the Dyson brand.
- yetihehe 8y agoDon't know how it looks in dyson vacuums, but in every brand I've tried, bagless vacuums are a disaster. They either don't filter that good, require special cleaning or both. One bagless vacuum I've recently used was designed so awfully, I joked that it should come with another vacuum to clean it. From what I've seen in pictures, Dyson's designs are much more easy to clean.
- sofon 8y agoPretty much all the Dyson's I've used have had very poor suction and hardly pick up anything. The Toshiba bagless cleaners work well in my experience.
- stevekemp 8y agoIt's funny I had a few friends locally raving about how good dyson vacuum-cleaners were. I thought my existing vacuum was just fine, but I borrowed an upright from a friend for a few weeks and when I did I was hooked. I started out by vacuuming the floors with my existing machine, and used tried the dyson afterwards. The amount of stuff it sucked up was very surprising. Sure the dysons are a lot more expensive than the generic machines, but I have to say that I loved mine. It's only because I live abroad now, and I don't have carpets that I've not looked into getting another.
- dovik 8y agoIt was. Other brands started to sell bagless vacuums only after Dyson first success. For other brands, bags was as profitable market.
- dirktheman 8y agoWe have a Numatic Henry and it runs circles around the most expensive Dyson. While the Dyson seems more powerful on paper, in reality the Henry sucks up more dust, grime and pet hair. Our Henry is 18 years old, survived falling down the stairs, a complete house remodel and basic family life with kids. The bags only need to be changed a few times per year, and changing is a breeze. Compare that to the Dyson where you have to empty the bin every other time you use it. Oh, and the Henry doesn't seem to lose power as the bag gets fuller since the motor is placed on top of the cleaner. Every part can be replaced (and are still available, for a 18 year old vacuum cleaner!) but as I said, they're nearly indestructible. And cheaper than a Dyson. There's a reason why professional cleaners use them, I guess.
- fredley 8y agoHenry owner here: totally agree. Also, unlike a fancy Dyson, it's designed to be bashed around, yanked around and generally abused. It's the Nokia 3310 of vacuums. And if a part breaks, because they're used commercially it's cheap and easy to replace.
