Best affordable bagless vacuum for small apartment with no pets?

@honestjoe68 I just watched Roger's video on his refurbished Dyson DC19. I'm amazed at how pristine it looks! I've subscribed to him.

As for Shark, the thing that bothers me the most about them is the fact that they're single cyclonic, and thus have to rely on filters to trap the fine dust. It's a misleading "never loses suction" claim. A few years ago, I posted on here a rant about poor filtration on Shark vacuums. I'll include a link to it.

@thegen5gal No offense, but didn't you read my OP? I'm looking for a BAGLESS vacuum. My mom doesn't want a bagged vacuum.

I think the Shark you posted would be fine, even though they do have filters they have excellent suction and any I've used have also been very quiet.

@dustin stop trolling!

Alrighty then.... Didn't know I was wrong in posting my opinion! I'm not going to apologize though, I've been a member here for far longer than you have and have never before been accused of "trolling"!

Sharks actually cleans very well and they are pretty quiet. I have done tests with my Shark NV500 and dare I say it, it almost cleans well as the Sebo Felix. Even the carpet and rug institute recommends Shark.
Downside is that the filters need regular maintenance and if something goes wrong support for spare parts is slim.
One of the better Chinese made vacuums.
I just wouldn't have high hopes it to last long. However that's the same thing with all "Wallmart" vacuums.
