Vacuum cleaners have remained the staple cleaning tool ever since they made their debut in the market. Even with more and more homes shifting to hardwood and tiled floors, this handy tool can find itself useful in just about every household. Because of the success it has accrued over the decades, there are now multiple varieties of vacuum cleaners available to. Broadly, they can be classified as bagged vacuum cleaners and the bagless variety.
Both of these two types of vacuum cleaners have their set of pros and cons. When you’re out hunting for the best machine in the market, consider the advantages and disadvantages of both these two types. Here in this article we’ve listed all that you need to know about bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners so that you can make an informed purchase.
What’s great about bagged vacuum cleaners?
This first variety is the conventional one and the very first vacuum cleaners arrived with a bag to trap all the grit and dirt. With the advancement of technology, these bagged vacuum cleaners have taken on a new shape but still include the vacuum bowl or bag.
There’s much to appreciate about bagged vacuum cleaners starting from the simple fact that all dirt, dust and even allergens are stored and trapped inside the machine. This bag can easily be removed and cleaned after every use. Some of the best bagged vacuum cleaners come with a generous capacity to hold dirt making you vacuuming experience pretty convenient. Some of the latest varieties also include a filter for the bag.
Most importantly, the price tag on these traditional bagged vacuum cleaners is considerably less compared to the more modern bagless variety.
What’s not so great about bagged vacuum cleaners?
Although vacuum cleaners that come with bags hold out for a fairly long time, once they have reached their functional limit you’ll need to find a replacement for it. The vacuum cleaner also becomes much less efficient when the vacuum bowl is full. This means you’ll constantly have to ensure that the bag hasn’t reached its capacity. All of this can be a pretty time consuming and tedious process; something that the rival bagless type doesn’t involve.
What’s so great about bagless vacuum cleaners?
The bagless vacuum cleaners showed up in the market only recently but already they are some of the most sought after machines. Practically robotic, these cleaning appliances don’t come with a bag and are available in multiple sizes and shapes.
Unlike bagged vacuum cleaners, cleaning with this type of vacuum cleaner isn’t time consuming nor do you have to worry about replacing bags. Because you won’t need to spend on replacing bags every now and then, these vacuum cleaners can actually be more cost effective in the long run despite the overwhelming upfront price. Most varieties include a HEPA filter that can function for over six months before they need to be replaced. These filters and the entire system of bagless vacuum cleaners are much more environmentally friendly than their bagged counterparts.
What’s not so great about bagless vacuum cleaners?
The filters of the bagless vacuums need to be cleaned frequently. You will need to replace the filters after they become less effective as well. Sometimes with bagless vacuums, the dirt that your machine has sucked up can be spewed back so you might need to make a quick second round of vacuuming the same area.

Customer Testimonials
I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”
“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”
“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”
“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”
“There is no one that cleans our house as well as Katie does! She is meticulous and genuinely loves to clean, and it absolutely shows. We love it when it is our cleaning day. I could not be happier with the services provided by her and the Dashing Maids company. They are responsive, timely, and have overall been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”
“I have been using Dashing Maids for several years now, and appreciate the communication and consistency with which our home is cleaned. The cleaner that always treats our home as if it were hers is Katie. Thanks Katie for your hard work!”
