The first and maybe LAST bagless vacuum I had, was a Fantom Fury from 1996. I HATED that thing with a red hot chili pepper passion! I remember when vacuuming the dust would literally collect on the outside of the vacuum. The dirt cup when taken out and emptied, and placed back in, never felt like it was making a tight seal. I think it stopped working in 2000. I was never so glad. I said I would never get another bagless vacuum. I ended up getting a Kenmore canister and I fell in love with canisters. I'm sure technology with bagless has improved greatly since then, but I can't get past the fact of "EMPTYING" a bagless vacuum, whether it be upright or canister. I will give you an example......Say, it's winter time.....frigid outside........you're cleaning house.......dust cup is full........Do you dump it in the trash can in the kitchen? (NO!) dust will fly around and continue to do so each time someone throws something in the trash until the trash is taken out. My trash collection bin is in my garage......Do I dump the dirt just in the trash bin itself.........I can visualize a cloud of dust everytime I throw a bag of garbage in the trash bin. I would love the fact of not having to buy bags and filters, but what I just described is what prevents me from getting a bagless vacuum (other than Rainbow).
You can mist the inside of a plastic bag.... dump bin inside [and have no dust ploom] close up bag ,,,,tie shut and discard. or on a bagged.....pop out old pop in new and be on your way.....vacuuming while keeping all the dust and dirt where it belongs.....in the bag.

Hi,
Emptying the vacuum in blizzard conditions? Been there, done that. Have you considered taking the big plunge -- that is if you live in your own home -- and buying a good central system? The bagless versions require less frequent emptying and all things considered prices should be nice about now. Of course it is a whole different ball game. You'd have to consider working with and storing a long hose but lots of nice advantages like unbeliable quiet are a possibility. However, from the gist of what you've written, it appears obvious you'd prefer a regular vacuum. As long as it's affordable -- like you won't have to ditch your kid's college fund -- get a bagged vac you like and be happy. Just be sure to look for machines that offers good bag capacity. Here again, "Don't sweat the small stuff" applies. We face enough really serious problems day to day. Albeit comfort, ease and feeling good always come with a price one way or anoither, why be irritated over something so small? There's a fix for it. So be good to yourself and buy it. There are other "fixes" far more expensive but of less worth Venson.
