Now normally, I'm a bagged fan myself. But there are a few bagless ones I do like. My favorite is the LG Kompressor upright, I have the luv200r model. I think it's absoutely gorgeous and it does a good job I feel. What's yours, and why?
As a collector, My personal favorite would be a green Fantom Fury.
What I think are the best bagless vacuums for residential cleaning would be: Rainbow, Filterqueen, and true cyclonic central vacuums (Vacumaid or Vacuflo). I don't mind filtered cyclonic models but true cyclonic models are easier to maintain.
What I think are the best bagless vacuums for commercial cleaning would be: Sanitaire (Both direct and clean air models), and a Cleartrak/Workhorse.
I don't know if shake out bag models would count as well but if that were to be the case, I would pick both Sanitaire and Kirby as the best ones.
Hey I have a tristar too! I think it's called the dxl model? Don't quote me on that lol. I think you will like your kompressor. I had always wanted one back from when they came out when I was still a wee teenager, obviously didn't have the money for it then. Before I got it I watched videos of people doing real world tests with them and they actually did very well, and so has mine. Word of caution though, if you get a model 200, they do not make exhaust filters for it anymore, so you have to get creative with some fabrication of sorts. Ones after that are still avalible.
Filter Queen, Water Matic, Silver King, All water filtration vacs (Rainbow, Hyla, Sirena, Delphin, Thermax, Rotho TT, Big Power, Ocean Blue, Oasis. However they are still messy and not as superior as a bagged vacuum.
I'd like to try a Sirena though. I'd also like to try the new to market Quantum water vac and Italian made one that I can't think of the name to right now but it looks really cool, with a power head.
