Remember these:
"Price does not determine how much dirt a vacuum will remove"
"NO vacuum gets more than about 70 to 80 percent of the dirt from the rug"
"Emptying a bagless gets you a face full of dust"
"Cordless stick vacs are NOT a replacement for a full size machine"
"Robots are not vacuum cleaners"
"Uprights work better on carpets, canister work better on bare floors"
"Canisters are much easier for attachment use"
"HEPA disposable bags that seal before removal are best for allergy sufferers"

Meh, bagless have their downsides, but in my personal *opinion* I think they're fine. Dumping the dust into my garbage can is not a dirty ordeal at all, it's quick and all the dust just falls to the bottom. It's far more unpleasant dealing with an antique shake-out bag, now that has to be done outside because that'll give you a face full of dust. I don't have much experience with disposable bagged vacs, but I've thrown away a couple vac bags full of dirt, and if you're not careful and squeeze or shift the bag, even a little, it'll blow the dust right out of it, and that'll give you a face full of dust.
So, really, there are pros and cons to either system. To add something to the list:
-> Bagless vacs need to have their filters cleaned or replaced regularly.
Actually if you're shopping for a bagless, I'd recommend checking which one has easy filter access, and washable filters.

Tom,
You could make a poster of the above that should be in every vac store and department store in America.But then 80% of the so called cleaning machines to keep our homes and the air we breathe clean would no longer be needed.And people might begin to learn that there is a self sealing 4 ply filter bag or that 3 real attachments can do the work of 5 or that some vacs do automatically what others can't do at all or that wet dust can't fly or ?!?.
