Now that I have it narrowed to a Sears Kenmore - bag or bagless?

I'm getting the Sears Kenmore mainly to pick up cat hair and dust mites burrowed
deep into an old carpet.

Some recommend the bagless Kenmore, but it seems to be a dirty task, with
constantly emptying the cannister.

Am I correct?


They're listed here (looks like there's a new bag model 35922 & bagless model
#35933. CR recommended the 35922 and 35923)

I have tried three or four bagless vacuume cleaners over the years (although
not the particular model you have selected), and my opinion is that they
simply don't work well enough. Maybe a Dyson is advanced enough to justify
going bagless, but the lower end models (eg. everything else) simply aren't
there yet. To get them to work effectively, you have to empty the interior
chamber (including washing the foam filter, if the model has one) before you
vacuume each time. That's a much greater inconvenience than a cord or a
bag.

Maybe bagless vacuumes will be good enough eventually, to replace bagged
cleaners, but they aren't that good yet, imho.

HTH,

Donna

The Dysan is way better to anything they sell at sears. I have a top
of the line kenmore, I just bought for the upstairs, and a Dysan.
Emptying the chamber could not be any easier and is zero mess. This is
one thing that Dysan has figured out. You simply hold it over the
garbage can and pull the trigger and all the contents fall into the
garbage can. No mess at all. No bags, ever. Unless you are buying some
cheap aftermarket paper bags, the Sears bags are 5 dollars apiece and
with 2 dogs and a cat I would be lucky to have 1 bag last a week.
Besides the Dysan does a much better job than the Sears on picking up
hair.

I like the idea of just taking out a bag and tossing it into the trash.
Seems much neater than any bagless. Cost of bags is only a few dollars a
year.

I recently bought a Hoover bagless and returned because of the mess and
exchanged
it for a bag type. My son has a Dyson bagless and it is not any better.
