re: Most people want bagless
Not me. My wife bought a small bagless for doing stairs etc. and we
hated it the first time we had to empty the container. Even though we
took it outside to the garbage can to empty, the cloud of dust coated
us and the container itself. It was more work to clean up afterwards
than it was to vaccum the stairs.
Maybe people get used to it after a while, like they say you do when
you live next to the railroad tracks, but whenever possible, I choose
not to have to get used to things I don't like.
