Old vacuum cleaners required bags, and these needed to be emptied and replaced, costing quite a bit over the lifetime of the vacuum cleaner.  More and more modern vacuums are bagless, meaning you don’t have paper bags to collect the dirt.  Instead, dirt and dust is sucked into a plastic bin that can be easily & hygienically emptied.  Below are the bagless vacuum cleaners that we have covered on this site.

Eureka’s catalog has expanded in recent decades to include a handful of ‘specialty’ cleaning appliances. The Pet Lover Oh! upright bagless vacuum is one example of Eureka’s pet related products. Cleaning up pet messes is a big concern for pet owners. Many vacuums cannot handle this task very well. Pet hair and other animal generated debris can clog tubes and become a burden on the appliance. With the Pet Lover Oh! upright, pet owners can find a better way to keep their homes clean and their pets happy.

Utilizing a bagless design helps keep the long term cost of the Pet Lover Oh! Vacuum down. After the initial purchase, consumers only have to replace filters rather than buy new bags every week. The unit is designed to take care of pet hair problems on smooth floors, upholstery and carpeting. It offers a total of 12 AMPs of power to get the job done.

The Pet Lover Oh! bagless vacuum is equipped with a 20 foot power cord which provides a decent cleaning radius. Accessories include a pet upholstery brush and crevice tool that help consumers clean on and around furniture. The unit is backed by a one year manufacturer warranty.

What did customers who bought Eureka’s Pet Lover Oh! upright bagless vacuum like?

• Assembly was made easier by clear, concise directions and took generally under ten minutes for most consumers.
• The compact size is ideal for smaller living spaces, such as apartments, single rooms or town homes.
• Emptying the collection container is very easy and requires only the push of a button to remove from the vacuum.
• The Pet Lover Oh! vacuum proved effective in homes with multiple pets, even heavy shedders.

What did Eureka’s Pet Lover Oh! customers dislike?

• The Pet Lover Oh! sometimes blows pet fur and debris in front of the vacuum, mainly when used on smooth surfaces, which makes it very difficult to suck up.
• The Pet Lover Oh! bagless vacuum seems to frequently break after only a short period of regular use. Longevity was not noted as a strong point for this model.
• Some consumers found that the tiny roller wheels placed on the bottom of the vacuum scratched their hard wood floors, leaving permanent damage.

Since the early 1900s, Electrolux has been producing many household appliances that have turned some consumers into return customers. Another example is the Versatility bagless upright vacuum. The Electrolux EL8502B Versatility vacuum offers consumers 12 AMPs of power that can handle carpeting and smooth floors. This unit includes a two year manufacturer warranty as well as the reliability many consumers have come to expect from this manufacturer.

The Versatility vacuum is packaged with a 14 foot stretch hose for greater reach when cleaning stairs or high surfaces. It is also designed with an on and off motorized brush roll control and edge cleaning bristles that allow consumers to work deep down into commonly missed areas. The one and 1/5^th quart dust container gathers debris while the HEPA filter system helps remove allergens and more from air and floors. The presence of the HEPA system makes the Versatility a good option for those with allergies or asthma.

This unit comes with a dusting brush, crevice tool and hand held Turbo tool. The HEPA filter reduces house hold odors while giving floors a thorough cleaning. Many consumers flock to the Versatility’s bagless design, which dramatically reduces the amount of money need to maintain the vacuum after the initial purchase.

What did customers who bought Electrolux’s Versatility bagless upright vacuum like?

• Removing and emptying the collection compartment is very easy and requires only the flip of a lever.
• The Versatility offers a great deal of power that helps keep the suction going at optimum levels in most situations.
• Many consumers with multiple pets in their homes commented that the Versatility was able to keep up with significant pet hair accumulation on floors.
• All included tools can be stored on the vacuum cleaner, making it much easier to keep everything together and store it without losing pieces.

What did Electrolux’s Versatility bagless upright vacuum customers dislike?

• Some consumers had issues with their Versatility vacuum shutting off automatically due to a blockage that they could not find after multiple inspections.
• Repeated returns have been made due to the roller brush malfunctioning and falling apart after only a few months of regular use. This part appears to be a weak spot in the vacuum’s over all design.
• The unit consistently clogs for many consumers. Clearing the various compartments and channels is not easy each time it requires attention.

Combining many cleaning tools into one convenient tool is definitely a good thing. It saves space and simplifies many home maintenance tasks. Electrolux has created its ErgoRapido bagless cordless hand held and stick vacuum cleaner to do just that. Consumers can make one purchase and get a stick vacuum as well as a hand cleaner all in one for a diverse number of options when tidying up or doing a quick clean up. It may not be a good choice as a replacement for the main vacuum in the home, but it does offer the functionality of a compact, light vacuum and a hand cleaning appliance.

The ErgoRapido vacuum is designed to be very lightweight. It weighs around six pounds, making it an easy choice for those who are concerned about lifting a heavy full size model. The bagless design can also help reduce the amount of money needed to keep the ErgoRapido operating over time as well. It easily fits into most storage spaces.

Electrolux backs its ErgoRapido bagless vacuum with a two year warranty. The battery charger is Energy Star approved and manages 9.6 volts of power. The charging station can be mounted on walls for easy storage. The unit is packaged with a dusting brush and crevice tool that allow the vacuum to clean in corners, cushions and more.

What did Electrolux’s ErgoRapido hand held and stick vacuum customers dislike?

• After about six months, some consumers reported that the battery began to hold less charge and the motor would run slower than it did originally.
• Over time, the suction power of the ErgoRapido vacuum begins to diminish (usually in relation to the dying battery).
• Larger debris, such as cereal spills, is not picked up by the ErgoRapido and may only be pushed around on floors.

Many consumers prefer the upright design, but want something more portable and easier to store. Dyson presents the DC18 Slim all floors cyclone upright vacuum. This unit offers a lightweight design that can easily be carried up stairs and stored in smaller closets and other spaces. Just like other products in the Dyson catalog, the DC18 is also constructed with quality and offers a long life span compared to other vacuum brands.

The DC18 is constructed with a lifetime HEPA filter system that eliminates the need to purchase additional filters. The HEPA system removes a great deal of airborne allergens and debris, expelling clean air back into your home. A lifetime filter dramatically reduces the cost required to keep the DC18 in good working order, which is a big plus for consumers who are on the fence about the price of a Dyson vacuum.

The DC18 offers a total of 200 air watts of cleaning power. This unit is also equipped with a long 25 foot power cord and 4/9 gallon collection compartment that can be emptied by pushing a single button. The DC18 is backed by a five year warranty and includes an on and off brush bar that extends to reach higher surfaces and stairs.

• The Dyson DC18 makes a lot of noise, primarily an irritating whistling sound that some consumers found very unpleasant and disruptive.
• After multiple uses, some consumers found that the beater bar did not function as well and began leaving clumps of dirt and hair behind that had to be picked up after vacuuming.

Consistent, powerful suction is one of the strong points of almost any Dyson vacuum model. The DC07 All Floors Cyclone upright vacuum is another example of Dyson’s quality and eye for effective design. The unit is equipped with Dyson’s trademark cyclonic system that helps maintain suction for optimum cleaning power every time the vacuum is used. Many consumers return to Dyson because of the reliability and unfaltering suction power of its products.

The DC07 is constructed with a HEPA filter system that is certified as asthma friendly. Dyson’s HEPA filters have been known to help remove 99.99% of debris from the air, making your home more breathable as well as clean. Every time the Dyson DC07 is used, the air taken in through the vacuum is effectively cleaned and sent back out nearly 100% free of airborne allergens such as dust and pollen. The HEPA system is a must have for homes with allergy sufferers and pets.

Additional accessories packaged with the DC07 include a 17 foot long hose, dusting brush, upholstery attachment and crevice tool for narrow spaces. The unit is designed to be bag free to keep long term maintenance costs down. It is also packaged with a five year warranty courtesy of Dyson.

• Negative experiences have been reported when consumer had to contact Dyson’s customer support to make good on product warranty promises.

The Dyson brand is associated with many products, but some of these deviate away from the standard upright vacuum design. Dyson satisfies fans of the canister vacuum with its DC21 Stowaway model. This vacuum cleaner utilizes a canister set up and equips it with all the popular features that have made Dyson so desirable. The unit maintains constant and even suction power, even after a long period of use and comes with a durable design many consumers love.

The Dyson DC21 Stowaway canister vacuum comes with 220 air watts of power and a power cord that measures over 16 feet long. This model is also equipped with a 4/9 gallon collection bin and conveniently compact design that is ideal for storage in smaller spaces. Dyson has also backed up its DC21 Stowaway with a five year warranty. Most consumers find they do not need to use the warranty, but it is there just in case.

The DC21 is packaged with a hard floor tool that extends for use on stairs and elevated surfaces. An on and off brush bar enhances cleaning potential along with the lifetime HEPA filter. Through the HEPA system, the Dyson DC21 can remove a great deal of particles and allergens from the air sucked in through the vacuum.

What did customers who bought Dyson’s DC21 Stowaway canister vacuum like?

• The extreme suction power offered by a Dyson turns many apprehensive customers into long time Dyson buyers.
• The DC21 Stowaway cleans air as well as carpets through its highly effective HEPA filter system.
• Emptying and cleaning of the dust collection compartment is simple and convenient, reducing the amount of time needed to finish the job.
• The unit is not as loud as most other vacuums. There is some noise, but noise output in general is low with a Dyson model.

What did Dyson’s DC21 Stowaway customers dislike?

• The Dyson DC21 is constructed primarily of plastic pieces. Over time, these can become damaged or cracked and hinder the vacuum’s ability to collect dust securely.
• Some consumers found that the hose accessory included was a problematic weak point. It would sometimes break apart and become unusable after a short period of time.
• Not everyone likes the canister vacuum design. Some consumers complained that the DC21 in particular had trouble rolling over carpeting and other obstacles, possibly due to the small wheels attached to the canister base.

Dyson is one of the most well known names in the vacuum cleaner industry. It is most often associated with high end models that can get a little pricy for some consumers. The concept behind Dyson vacuum came about in 1979 when founder, James Dyson, was inspired to improve on existing vacuum designs. These shows significantly in the way Dyson’s products have progressed over the decades.

Today, Dyson models are recognized for their durability and excellent power capabilities. They never lose suction and include patented cyclone technology that is known for collecting more pet hair, dander and dust particles than most similar vacuums. The DC23 Animal vacuum cleaner can collect as much as 99.9% of all particles that enter it, which means that the air sent back out of the Dyson into your home is 99.99% cleaner after each vacuuming.

The DC23 Animal is also built for convenience. It is very easy to push and can be maneuvered in most small spaces. The use of a filter means consumers never have to purchase vacuum bags again. This specific model is intended to be optimized for homes with pets. Even households with multiple dogs or cats notice a difference with the DC23, which can keep up with fur and dander removal when used regularly.

What did customers who bought Dyson’s DC23 Animal vacuum cleaner like?

• They are much quieter compared to similar models by different manufacturers. Even though there is some noise, it is kept to a minimum.
• Adding or removing accessories from the Dyson DC23 Animal is very easy and requires only a single step to snap on or take off.
• The suction power offered by a Dyson is very strong and consistent. They do not lose their suction power over time like some vacuum cleaners do.

What did Dyson’s DC23 Animal customers dislike?

• The extension wand included is a little unwieldy and can be cumbersome to use in some situations.
• Dyson’s powerful suction can actually work against the appliance, pulling carpet fibers right out of floors in some carpet types. Consumer should test run on various surfaces before vacuuming an entire room to monitor potential damage.
• Dyson recommends that consumers check filters an average of every six months on most models. Those intended for pets (or used in homes with pets or excessive dust) will need to check much more frequently, possibly once a month.

Bissell has been producing carpet cleaning products since the late 1800s. That’s a long time to perfect features and come up with new concepts like the one behind the Versus vacuum cleaner. This unique creation by Bissell offers consumers a new take on the standard bare floor cleaner. The Bissell Versus vacuum includes a 12 AMP motor and bagless design for better convenience when cleaning smooth flooring and low pile carpets. Bagless also means less money is needed to maintain the Versus.

What makes the Versus so unique is the V shaped base. The shape is intended to get into corners and run right along walls for a more precise clean. It also directs a majority of large debris into the center of the V where it is sucked up while finer particles are collected by the arm extensions. The unit offers a 13 inch wide cleaning path and is equipped with a pre motor filter and one year manufacturer warranty.

Additional features include a stretch hose and narrow crevice tool. The vacuum head is also designed to pivot left and right so consumers can easily work around furniture and into every nook and cranny of a room. The V shape is a great choice for many households, especially those with numerous obstacles in each room.

What did customers who bought Bissell’s Versus bare floor vacuum cleaner like?

• The initial assembly of the Bissell Versus is very simple and takes almost no time at all.
• The overall design of the Versus is very lightweight and compact. Anyone can easily lift or maneuver the unit throughout their home or carry it to different floors with ease.
• Pet hair, leaves and other large debris was easily collected by the Versus, leaving floors tidy and debris-free.
• The bagless design eliminates the need to purchase bags and makes it even easier to maintain the Versus.

What did Bissell’s Versus bare floor vacuum cleaner customers dislike?

• Some consumers found that while using the Versus in homes with pets, fur and dander was stuck in the arms and did not get sucked into the vacuum like it should have.
• The power cord included with the Versus was rather short which requires more plugging and unplugging and can prolong the time needed to finish vacuuming.
• Crumbs and other debris can sometimes clog openings in the V shaped head and cause the unit to eject them back onto the floors, sometimes at a great distance.

The Momentum upright bagless vacuum cleaner by Bissell offers all the standard features most consumers have come to expect out of a vacuum along with a few extra bells and whistles. This cleaning appliance is constructed with a 30 foot power cord for a sizable cleaning radius as well as 12 AMPs of power. It is another example of Bissell’s experience in the carpet cleaner industry, which began in the late 1800s and has thrived because of improvement an innovations through product features.

The Momentum upright is packaged with a one year manufacturer’s warranty, an extension wand, dusting brush, upholstery tool, crevice tool and the Turbo brush. Each accessory adds another option for a diverse selection of cleaning options that can handle regular flooring, carpets, furniture, stairs and other surfaces the vacuum head may not be able to reach.

Another useful feature included in the Bissell Momentum is the exclusive DirtLifter brush system. This feature, along with the strong suction and high efficiency cyclonic vacuum design, help make the Momentum a good value for the price. Consumers searching for an all in one vacuum that can handle regular household use can benefit from Bissell’s Momentum.

• The Momentum includes a pre motor filter that can be removed and washed for continued use.

What did Bissell’s Momentum upright bagless vacuum cleaner customers dislike?

• The Bissell Momentum’s filter seems to become clogged easily, which can begin to cause the suction power to diminish quickly.
• The noise output caused during regular operation can be very high and become disruptive in a household of multiple people or apartment setting.
• The Momentum seemed heavier than necessary, which made it easy to tip over. This was especially obvious when applying or using the hose included with the unit.
