I Vacuum about 2 to 3 to 4 times a week but when I used my Panasonic icon as my daily driver for quite a long time I had to change the bag every 2 to 3 weeks and when I had my sebo e3 Premium how to change the bag every 1 to 2 weeks.

Here in the good Ole USA. the bagless rage is based on the no loss of suction, no filters or bags to buy of course. completely sealed and hepa filtration so there is no release of dust back into the air.

The media and medical science has a portion of the nation believing that if any one comes in contact with a germ or dust mite it will be there demise. If that in fact was true. None of us would be here today to be in any danger. The few that are truly sensitive to dust mites. And for germs are those with compromised immune systems due to cancer treatment or HIV.

We have over sanitized the world around us in an effort not to be sick. When in fact we have only created a stronger germ like MSRA. MSRA is the most resistant to sanitizers and disinfectants.
 
Do you mean MRSA?

Wasn't the “good ole USA” responsible for plastic covers to fit over sofas - 1950s and 1960s, I believe - which I have to say I have never quite got the concept of. What was the appeal? To keep the material completely clean because home owners are far too lazy to rip off the covers and toss them into the washing machine or trapping dust so that it doesn’t get a chance to lie on the material? Or both.

Personally I don’t know of any other country other than the USA who have adopted their plastic covers for sofas. I can see the appeal if decorating or if moving home, but not permanently.

Also I think it was the good ole USA that the UK got the first wave of air purifiers in the 1980s for homes. Remington I believe, sold them.

Whilst there is plenty of science to back up theories and yet appear to be exaggerated, there's a slight element of truth these days given that the younger generation are being born with far more allergies than my generation suffer from. Yes there are other contributing factors - there will always be contributing factors other than suffering from breathing difficulties. Dust on skin can also be a major irritant for some people, its not all about breathing it in. Dust bags minimise that leakage as far as I'm concerned, both to the skin and both to the lungs.
 
My SEBO Felix bag last 3 months on average using daily or every other day.

My Vorwerk Kobold VK150 2 to 3 months on average using every other day.

I own a pet too so pet hair is mainly what is picked up. Both vacuums bags are filled to the top. Bag usage above is based on using just that vacuum in that period.
 
Personally I wouldn't fill he bag right up to the top as it puts stress on the motor, and at my house when the bags around half full it loses around half the air flow and suction but but it still got plenty to clean with.
 
I personally don't like filling bag right to the brim.

I might as well answer the question now ~

When I used to use my Turbopower 1000 as my daily (vacuuming about every 2-3 days) when my hair used to be long,it usually filled up within a week. Now my hair is stupidly very short,it usually takes about 2 weeks.

With my Sebo X1.1 (my new daily driver) I can't say yet as I've only had it just over 3 weeks,but already it's quarter filled but I know I can fit alot more in.
 
My Kirby Sentria WAS my daily driver (2-3 times a week) and it took about 4 months to fill a Kirby HEPA cloth bag to the Full line (about half way). Kirby bags are huge!


 


Now my new Royal Everlast 8300 is my daily driver. It also has a huge bag like the Sentria, and we will now see how long it takes to fill a Royal Type B bag.
 
Plastic slipcovers on sofas and other furniture-those were marketed by the plastics companies and the places that installed those.The upholsry on sofas is fixed and cannot be easily removed except during reapholstering.The covers were esp touted too homes with kids and pets.If the covers weren't installed or vented properly it was like sitting on a "balloon!"Yes,those plastic slipcovers were common in the 50's60's and the plastic could be available in "tinted" colors if desired-to help hide old upholstery.The best covers were made to be removable for cleaning or replacement-or when the pets and kids have left the home.I remember them!!
