I respect your opinion
You are not a collector, you are an average user. Many people like bagless better, as you don't need to buy bags. That is exactly why they sell, even if filters for them cost more in the long run.Personally, I see the Rainbow as a better alternative for a bagless. You never need to touch the dirt, and it doesn't smell. A rainbow isn't difficult to use and maintain once you get used to the whole water idea. The rainbow is very reliable an can run for many years with proper care, without needing a service. I hate the idea of dust blowing back in my face with my bagless machines (not rainbow) so that is why I laugh at those Shark infomercials whose happy customers state that the Shark helps with their allergies. It is simply a fact that bagless is here to stay, whether collectors like it or not.
