If there are girls with long hair in the house, the hair tends to get wrapped around the roller brush. I don't know yet what to do about that. But I don't like the bagless kind of vacuum.

I have long hair... grew up in a house having 8 women, all with long hair!
The answer to the hair wrapping around the brush is to regularly take the brush out of the vacuum, and to use a scissors with a very sharp lower point, and cut straight down the side of the roller, so the hair strands can be gathered off the brush.

As to the bagless kind of vacuum, I agree! It's a way to spread dust!

I kept going thru one vacuum after another, until I decided enough of this.
I couldn't afford a new Kirby, so I saved up a couple hundred dollars, and watch Craigslist.
That beat up old vacuum I got for $200 has been indestructible for years. And the suction is still great. Yes, it's heavy... but why use a lightweight vacuum, and then pay for a gym membership to tone the arms?

The bagless kind can be a bit "dusty" when ya' gotta empty the thing that holds the dust, etc.

What kind of vacuum do you have?

And the bagless vacuum is more likely to spread bed bugs.

I think that's why bed bugs are an epidemic in a lot of places now.

It's just my opinion. But I think it makes sense.

It's a good point.....i've always wondered about the bagless kind, because when you empty it the dust, etc. goes everywhere....

I used to have a Dirt Devil....

it died.

It's gotten to the point that a lot of stores only sell the bagless vacuum. That's why I think it makes sense to think it could be connected to the bed bug epidemic.

Really? Why do they think that a bagless vacuum is a "good" thing?

I have a bagless Dyson. I empty it outside in the trashcan. It's great!

There's no clouds of dust when you empty it?

There certainly are. But like I said. I'm outside. It's already dusty outside.

I try to hold my breath when I empty it.
