Bagged VS Bagless

[turbo500]

No, I'm not disputing your opinion. Read what I said. I'm pointing out that we do not accurately represent the vacuum buying public, so you can't legitimately say "customers would want this" and then say "I like to do this" in the same debate, because you're not an "average customer". You know more and care more about your vacuum than most.

Ok i shall take note Chris.

Bagged vs Bagless video

Here is an excellent video, if you have 12 minutes, showing the virtues of bagged vs bagless vacuums:


 

 

[marcusprit]

From someone who is trying to sell bagged machines.Not quite an impartial view. I'd say they both have advantages and disadvantages.

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

Shall we just go back to beating carpets outside with a rug beater like my grandparents did?

 

[marcusprit]

I don't understand your point Olive oil?

 

[marcusprit]

As I said there are advantages and disadvantages to both bagged and bagless. Some will prefer bagged and that's fine some will prefer bagless that's fine too. Some like both.

Whatever works best for you. ))

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

Do you know how thy cleaned carpets and rugs before vacuum cleaners? They either swept them clean or took them outside and beat them. Dust and dirt would fly everywhere.

 

[marcusprit]

Yes and your point is?

 

[marcusprit]

Call me stupid but I can't quite grasp your point?

 

[turbo500]

I think Oli is getting at dustbags being a step forward in terms of ease of use and hygiene. Then with the arrival of bagless vacuums, a step backwards and return to "dust clouds", similar to the effect of taking a carpet outside and sweeping/beating it.

Am I right, Oli? Correct me if I'm wrong

Incidentally, with regards to your "Not quite an impartial view" comment, he may not be completely impartial but he didn't say anything that wasn't true.

 

[marcusprit]

OK we are comparing the dust cloud created when beating a carpet or dusting a floor with a broom to emptying the Dyson bin? Hahahaha shakes head

 

[turbo500]

Hahahaha shakes head

alright then. Shall we move on from Marcus's excellent display of maturity and skilled, coherent conversation...

 

[marcusprit]

Haha if you like. And I will move on from your ridiculous comparisons of emptying the Dyson bin.

I should upload a video of my method of emptying the bin proving once and for all that I do not come into contact with the dust. It doesn't affect me one bit. ))

 

[turbo500]

*MY* ridiculous comparison?

I don't think so. I was only translating what it appeared Oli was getting at for your benefit.

 

[marcusprit]

Yes but agreeing with his view.

Anyway I was being balanced in my view saying that there are advantages for both bagged and bagless.

You prefer bagged and that's fine. We shall agree to disagree about bagless

 

[turbo500]

Yes but agreeing with his view.

Who the heck said I was agreeing with this view?

Are you having your own conversation in your head?

Read what I said!! I elaborated on, what I thought was, the point was that Oli was making.

I then made a further comment in response to yours regarding the video that sptyks posted.

Nowhere did I say that I agreed or disagreed with Oli's point.

Good god, I get more sense out of the kitchen wall! Starting to think that Shirley Valentine had the right idea!

 

[marcusprit]

Sometimes feel like banging my head against a kitchen wall! Hahaha

 

[oliveoiltinfoil]

No my point was all of the bickering and near arguing over bags or bagless. To stop it all, I say we get rid of all forms of vacuums and clean our houses and carpets how our ancestors did !

 

[marcusprit]

Hahaha maybe I don't have a preference actually. If I could get my hands on a Riccar I'd happily use a bagged machine.

I don't want to argue with anyone. Everyone has their own views and there's something to be said for all of them. There's some very nice vacuums out there many I'd like to own. Right now my fav upright in the UK is the Dyson and my fav cylinder is the Miele S8.

Whatever works best for you is fine by me.
