Phillip,
Thank You...Bagless...bad thing...
Filters clog, needs to be emptied and cleaned after each use...again I hold to the fact that if bagless cleaners did not have a clear dirt container, people would not think twice about them. It is all mind over matter, you can see the dirt spinning in the container, suction is slowly disappearing, but yet you can still see that dirt...so one thinks it is still doing a great job...
I just repaired a Hoover Windtunnel Upright for a lady at church. While it was with me, she borrowed her sons Dyson (new) and thought it was just the best vacuum. I asked her to put a new bag in her Hoover, vacuum lightly and then check the bag...she called me later....and could not believe the dirt the Hoover had picked up after the Dyson, not to mention the pet hair. Plus she said the carpet looked so much better...perhaps the new brushroll I installed helped...
OK enough of my rant...
