Holy %^*#$@ !
God gimme back the old rusty trusty electrolux bag one. The wife gave it away in perfect working order and got a bissel bagless. Has a nice window to see your dirt twist around.. I really had too wonder were all the fine paritcals were going. Dint much care because I never used it until today..

My desk needed cleaning of ashs and such, and thought Id play with this new bangless wonder..
First off I notice its covered with dust. but how?
Oh well, I figured and pulled the hose thing from it and attach the brush end and proceed.. What the? cant turn off the brush motor? Nope. K lets let it sit and burn a hole in the carpet while I use the hose thingy. Whatever I thought and continued on.
It isn't pulling anything and guessed the clear cup thing must be full and removed it and dumped it..
NICE.. made a cloud of dust and my shiney black garbage liner is now a dull gray..
Still no suction.. I'm thinking there gotta be a filter in here somewere. After some examination I found the damn thing. It's ABOVE the cup and that section does not remove.
Time too get dirty.
Only one thing you can do is to reach up in there and pull the shit away to reveal a filter thats acting as a bag and pulled it off.. Looking at this engineering marval I had to wonder wtf and I going to do with this now.. I allready have a pile of dust on the floor, a nasty gray garbage liner, and a handfull of of stuff I thought I was getting rid of.
Hmmm.. Looking around I saw No spare vacuums and no air compressors... Shucks
Garbge can dint like my banging the filter in it and only resulted in a cloud of dust and ever a grayer liner.. Lungs werent haven a good time either. Worst part is the dumb old filter was still dirty.. I thought about going outside with it and getting creative, but it's March in minnisota and not that nice out there yet. Besides I felt I should NOT have too.. Its a f*****ng vacuum CLEANER

WATER!
That worked but resulted into a dirty sink and wet hands.. About the time I set down the now clean filter I thought about the pile of shit on the floor and decided it had to go right now. opps..
water+dust=mud. Im loving this bagless shit about now..
But anywhay I got it all back together and blankly stared at the big ass dust spot on the floor not really wanting to use it knowing the shit going to end up in the NONREMOVEABLE upper part again. It's really an endlees loop the bagless way I gather. Only the BIG shit sworles and the fine shit Infests the rest..
And oh why do then even put on a Hepa filter on it.. when your done cleaning it ya look like a pig that that just came from the mud hole anyway.
Dumb engineers.. End rant...

I HIGHLY regret buying a bagless vac. I'll never buy another.

You HAVE TO clean it EVRY FRIGGIN' time you use it. When you do, it's a filthy job.

The bag is far better - you never need to get your hands covered in crap.

Right on!

Thank you. I feel much better now..

Look on the bright side. You get to see the dirt swirl around! AND! You never have to buy a bag! w00t w00t. That is some l33t shit!


lol. I dunno. I've always been happy with our vacuum. Its a eureka i think. I dunno, I dont vacuum anyways.

I, too, have a bagless. But I hid my Electrolux canister vac in the garage. I pull it out for vehicles or when the SO isn't around.
