Cut-and-Paste Budget Bagless Vacuum Design

[cheesewonton]

I get my bags at the op shop or when I buy a vacuum. I am so cheap I will use the bag that was in the vacuum when I got it ( unless it is the wrong type of split open) until it is stuffed full.

I fill a bag in two weeks or less with our abundant pet hair and desert dust. It's raining tonight and the dogs have tracked in all kinds of dirt already. I will be busy tomorrow though it promises to rain more.

I take 1-2 months to fill a bag, dependant on model. My family has 2 dogs and live rurally, though our house is just not big enough to fill bags.

Yeah if I had pets running around the house, I'd have a bagless as my daily driver preferably a true cyclonic Vacuflo where there's no filters to mess with and not have to smell anything as I'm vacuuming. Unless if I can have a bagged central vac connected with a cyclonic seperator because I can have the best of both worlds where I can save money on buying bags from all the pet hair I'd suck up but also have great protection for the motor. Otherwise I can get away with washing out the primary filter on the Sanitaire for a while before ever buying a replacement. But I'm a type of person where I'd rather have a vacuum where I can simply unwind the cord, flip the switch on and off, wrap the cord back up and be done. That's one of the reasons why I favor a bagged upright but it just gets challenging with having pets around since I don't want to spend alot on bags.

I would take that bagged and seperator setup.
