A little pet peeve I have...

[panasonicvac]

Clarification

The picture shows just how well the exhaust filter can trap the dust, that's where air blows out the most. But everywhere else you'd find some air with dust blowing out. This is still better than say like for example a Bissell ProCup even though it claims to have a HEPA filter, it cannot filter as well as the Hoover or the Sanitaire Force. But is both the Hoover and Sanitaire Forces completely sealed like say a Windsor? No. To my knowlege, there is NOT a single bagless commercial vacuum on the market today that is completely sealed and probably will never be.

Let's get one thing straight, shake-out bags and bagless vacuums means you are making a deal with the vacuum devil. Would a water filtration vacuum be any better than a shake-out bag? As long as one reads the ENCLOSED INSTRUCTION BOOK, using and maintaining a water filtration machine is not difficult.

I do not mind a shake-out bag in those old Royal/DD handvacs from the 1980's and early-to-mid 1990's because it's smaller than what y'all find in those Sanitaire/Eureka and Oreck machines, so emptying it out is not the worst thing in the world (provided if it's done outside). The general consensus is that bigger is not better.

Now if I had an apartment with wall-to-wall carpeting and ended up with a machine that used a shake-out bag, I could use a bagged canister like the Bissell Zing to vacuum out the shake-out bag and make it look like new. It beats having to dump it in the trash can.

What do you guys think?
