An independent laboratory confirmed that on average, the leading bagless HEPA-filtered vacuum emitted over 175,900 lung-damaging particles per minute during the test.
What you’re breathing in (fine particulate matter) has been linked to bad health effects such as including chronic bronchitis and premature death, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Bagless Vacuums are Not Hygienic and Diminish Filtration, Suction and Cleaning Performance – Without bags to hold nearly all the captured dirt, the microfilters on bagless vacuums quickly clog from excessive dirt build-up and must be replaced often or a loss of suction and cleaning effectiveness will occur.
And bagless vacuum microfilters are expensive, usually costing more than a multi-year supply of large capacity filter bags. And perhaps the most annoying problem is that dust and other allergens become airborne when emptying bagless vacuum dirt containers.
Why are Bagless Vacuums So Popular? Bagless vacuums outsell bagged vacuums in today’s USA marketplace. This should not happen, if one considers the substantial advantages bagged vacuums offer, as compared to bagless machines. But there is a reasonable explanation for this situation.
Simply put, bagless vacuums are popular for two reasons:
The perception that money is saved by not buying vacuum bags.
2. It is easier to empty a bagless dirt container than to replace a full vacuum bag however, these perceived advantages are more than offset by the high cost and inconvenience of frequent micro-filter changes, diminished filtration and suction performance, the shortened life of vacuum motors caused by clogged micro-filters, and the hassle of emptying perpetually full dirt containers.
