Innovation in vacuum cleaner design continues abound with this upcoming model from LG, allowing you to vacuum for up to four times longer before emptying. Recent patent filings from Dyson indicate a similar method, but it looks like LG are going to be first to market with this new bagless concept.

Hello M00seUK:
 
It may be innovative for bagless vacuums but not bagged.  Bagged vacuums have always compacted the vacuumed debris.  Suction created in and by the bagged vacuum design eliminates the air and compresses the dirt.  One of the reasons in part that a bagged design vacuum can be used much longer before changing a bag vice the bagless dirt bin that needs to be dumped as frequently as daily after every use.
 
What does this do for the bagless supporters who said vacuum users loathed dirt stored in the bagged vacuum?  So they prefer bagless and want to dump the bagless bin after each use and before storage in the closet?    
 
The more we change the more we stay the same.  Or as someone on this Forum likes to say:  "What's old is new again!"

A question for consideration:  Does the compacted dirt "bricks" make bin dumping more or less difficult for the users?

I sometimes wish they wouldn't allow patents for such obvious and relatively minor things.

I can't recall the ad copy word for word but didn't Europe's bagless Rowenta vacuum make this claim several years ago.  I'll have to look around for the model but they did have a rather fancy looking machine with a wedge-shaped floor tool that was supposed to pack collected dirt at the bottom of its dust continer.

What, the Rowenta 'Airforce'?
 
As far as I can remember, it used a screw-type, helical chamber to spin stuff out into a bin. I've a sneaky feeling that it never worked properly, as the machine didn't appear to be on sale for long.

Hi Trolobite,
 
It was the Rowenta Infinium (do you know it) I was thinking but I was wrong.  Same as the Rowenta model you described, it also drew in dirty air and deposited the dirt it carried in a bin at the back.  The name I should have quoted was Sanyo.  They made a metallic blue bagless machine for a while and that's what I was thinking of.  Sorry for going the long way round.
 
Regards,
 
Venson

Come to think of it, it was the "Infinium". The 'technology', if you can call it that, was called 'Airforce', and the cleaner was apparently partly designed by two blokes off a UK Channel Four design programme. This was a programme series, where they looked at 'improving' tried and tested designs for everyday objects.
 
I remember one episode where they tried to improve the toilet bowl, to stop men 'spraying everywhere'! The resultant design had a splashback: I didn't think they were all that good as designers.
