Post your favorite bagless vacuums!

Yeah I have sold way too many nice vacuums. Although all those wouldn't fit in to my apartment anymore. Selling the Electrolux Ultra Active / Ultra Performer was a big mistake. It had massive 2100 watt motor. EU has now the new rules what prohibit from making more than 900 watt vacuums.

On that blue Electrolux pic above, what is the blue stripe on the floor head? Is that just a colored strip or is it some sort of headlight? Just curious.

the Quantum

the Quantum is an awesome water vac, costs $500 in the United States and cleans every bit as well as water vacs costing 4 or 5 times that price, and it actually does one thing better than the Rainbow. With the current model Rainbow, when you fill up to the center post, the separator is not actually in the water so there is a gap before what you vacuum up hits the water. The Quantum actually holds more water and the vacuumed debris goes directly in to the water because the separator is always in contact with the water. Don't get me wrong, I like my Rainbow but Rexair could learn from the designs of some of the other water machines.

It's the powerhead light. Ph is the old (EU only) small ph. Now we have the full size Electrolux Paragon ph.

I love my Electrolux Ultracaptic, but I have to say my all time favorite bagless cleaner would be my Fantom Lightning. I love that machine!

Update: Not too long ago, I added to my bagless lineup a Fantom Cyclone XT. If the Thunder was good, the Cyclone XT is superb. It is a marked improvement over the Thunder. One can tell that Fantom really took the initiative to correct all that was annoying about the Thunder and make it not only more pleasant to use, but also a ton more convenient to service.

I am keeping an eye out for a Lightning and a Fury to complete my Fantom collection.

My favorite is now AEG / Electrolux Precision.
It has massive airflow for a bagless vacuum (76 cfm from the nozzle), dual cyclone system keeps the pre motor filter clean a very long time.
Manual height adjustment + very long cable and hose. Fully sealed hepa filtration.

For those who say:

Bags are Best. Well, except when they're not. Bagless vacuums can last decades. The world's first bagless vacuum that doesn't lose suction (Rexair model A) is close to a century old.

Yes,bagless machines can last a long time if-----THE OWNER TAKES PROPER CARE OF IT!!!!Most owners throw away the instruction book with the box and MISUSE the vacuum.In this instance it won't last long!!

Tolivac,exceedingly true

Comment, I’d bet it’s unusual owner, who is NOT a collector/afficiendado, who actually takes care of their vacuum , they are NOT the norm

The Dyson DC07 is a brilliant Vacuum Cleaner

@rdwdcp

Yes it is! Funny you say that; I just bought one to add to my Dyson/Fantom collection, and it’s great!

Since I started this thread, I have since added the following cyclonic vacs to my collection:

NIB CY18 Cinetic Animal
UP20 Ball Animal 2
NIB UP14 Big Ball Cinetic Total Clean
UP13 Ball Animal
NIB DC39 Triggerhead
DC28 Airmuscle Animal
DC24 Red
DC21 Motorhead
DC07R
NIB V7 Animal +
Like new Fantom Cyclone XT

...and, looking back, it sure seems that I have a Dyson problem. Haha. As I have made room for these in my collection, I’d now say my group is about 60/40 bagless/bagged.

I don’t have pics of all of them, but here is a sample.
