vacuum cleaner best bagless

charlysez

i have just had an electric shock of my henry vacuum so not being technical have decided i need a new one.
done a bit of surfing trying to find reviews, would ideally like a bagless cylinder as i have lots of stairs. excellent suction, surely that goes without saying. and as good as i can get for under £100.
according to reviews the LG vk9021 is coming out on top, unless of course you know differently...........................

Hi

Sorry to inform you that bags are far superior to bagless. If you can stretch your budget a little then the cheapest Miele should be around £130. These are by far the best vacuum cleaners.

Good luck

why is that? is there a technical reason, i dont like the faffing with bags and the extra expense. but if there is a valid reason i would consider it

i would go for the type you wanted.

miele bags are supposed to be good but im like you, bagless for me, less hassle

We've just got rid of our SEBO upright vacuum, which is meant to be a professional quality cleaner.....rubbish...replaced it with a Dyson ball upright which is head and shoulders above it in the volume of mess and dust it sucks up.

Who told you that?

Or is Dyson ads just marketing ploy, stand to reason bags get clogegd up, suction goes down the pan, and yes I have had this with old vaccum cleaners

I have lots of bagged vacuum cleaners and several Dyson. Dyson wins hands down, the latest one I got was last week with the one with a ball, its even better than my old 5 year old Dyson DC07 animal which was warn hence replaced. Its been blooming marvellous so manoeuvrable, the ball and bagless certain are no gimmick

Hi

This could get a bit involved but to keep it simple, bagless systems were developed for commercial applications to extract dust, where as bags have been perfected for home use, as over 90% of what a domestic cleaner sucks up is fibreous. These fibres block the cyclonic system of a bagless cleaner therefore you need to empty the chamber virtually every use. Also a bagged cleaner has far better dust retention.

the point is that your 5 year old dyson is worn out after such a short time and at such a high price , i took our dyson in to our local repairs after the clutch went and he showed me all the dysons he had in to repair they outnumbered all the other cleaners 5-1, i have a henry that i use for work and it's getting on for 8 yrs old , takes a lot of punishment picking up dust , rubble etc but is still going strong

to the o.p are you sure it wasn't a static shock rather than from the machine ?

Indeed the are not cheap but a decent vacuum cleaner isn't. I could have got parts replaced its only the elasticated hose, the cyclone due to plastic handle now cracked and perhaps the brushes could do with replacing, I priced up parts but it was coming to £50+ and the an thought would could be next that goes? 5 years isnt to bad I think

I got it replaced because I saw a good deal and grabbed it. I still got old one wondering still to repair or not

Dont you think reason why they may also be repaired more is because they are popular I bet the sell far more than most other models hence the need for more repairs

Dyson also have a very good repair after sales service and now come with 5 years guarantee not many goods come with 5 years guarantee of course you got SOGA

Thanks for your explanation I still think bagless are better though as I said I have sued many bagged vacuum cleaners before not only clogged up but messy

I still have a bagged vacuum cleaner for car and yes its fits that criteria, messy, and gets blocked, its a Morphy Richards and only 2 years old

Its quite simple - you haven't had a Miele!

I don't mean this to sound patronising but its the truth. Miele make vacuum cleaners purely as a loss leader, it virtually costs them money with every one they sell! Why? you may ask - simple, if you buy one you will realise how much superior it is to any other vacuum cleaner, so therefore when your next domestic appliance needs replacing the chances are you will probably buy another Miele product.
