"<a name="start_25245.284043"></a><span style="color: #0000ff;">That's what makes me laugh the most about bagless vacuums. Disposable paper bags were put in to make vacuums easier to empty and more hygenic, and then we took them away again and made them messy and dirty again? Talk about a step backward!"</span>



 



Actually, I think they're a couple of steps backward. Most cloth shakeout bag machines aren't that messy to empty, and "filter cleaning" consists of shaking the bag well before emptying (washing it every once in a great while). By the time you get all the filters cleaned, brushed out, beaten against the garbage can, washed, and air dried for 24 hours, you're much farther behind in the game. I have owned 2 bagless machines in my life, and I won't own another one. Shakeout bags, on the other hand, aren't bad to deal with, and a good cheap, effective option if you properly maintain them.
