I try to hold my breath when I empty it.
LOL! That wouldn't be a good advertisement for selling it

I've repaired many janitorial floor cleaning equipment machines so when our vacuum went out I picked the model but it came in a bag or bag less model. I prefered the bag model and my wife preferred the bag less. Guess which one we ended up getting.
I have a commercial grade Hoover upright convertible with a disposable bag, and a small Hoover PortaPower with a small cloth bag. Have had them both for many years and they do everything. When I do the final shake of the cloth bag outside I stand upwind of the dust, no problem.

I got a Rainbow about 6 years ago, it works great but now that I am disabled more and have had medical problems, I wish I had not gotten it! It is bulky and I have to have my husband empty the water bowl and it's hard even for him now. I keep seeing the commercials for the Shark and keep thinking I would have been better off with it, would have been cheaper, too!!!
Well lets just put it this way. I might be slow but I'm not stupid. Hahaha!Dare i say?
I've never heard of a Rainbow...
Awwww i'm sorry it's becoming so difficult (((hug)))
They're very expensive. Been around for years, They use a water bowl that the dirt goes into, then you dump the dirty water and replace with clean. It is good for those with allergies. My friend got one as she had many allergies, and she would sneeze like crazy every time she vacuumed, she never sneezes now. The air does feel cleaner and my allergies are better with it, but it's just too cumbersome anymore.
Thanks for the feedback, Jesse and RayJeena.
It's good to know which ones to check out when i need to....i've had some real clunkers LOL!
By the way, this portable Dirt Devil is excellent so far.....i've used it on the steps....it's gem, so far
Thank you.Portable Dirt Devils are good, but the full-sized ones are not. Avoid them.
Their air horn is too small and gets clogged all the time.
I use an Oreck commercial vacuum. Great on carpets, but marginal on bare floors.
The parts are good quality, easy to find, easy to replace.
