Complete agree. Your comment helped me decide.
As far as buying bags go, between Ebay and the rest of the net (Amazon,
etc), you don't have to walk out your door to order the right one.

And that's mainly what I'm buying it for.

I have one of those portable Euroshark models, and the cannister/filter
gets clogged very quickly with pethair.

Will the same thing happen with the Hepa filters on the recommended
vacuums? Will they be clogged with pethair and have to be cleaned often?

And a major problem with the bagless type is that they don't handle pet hair
well. The hair will work it's way into the filter and clog it up. Having
sold them for Sears (before retiring), we usually did not recommend bagless
if a customer owned pets.

I vote for bagless. One less item to hunt for, run out of etc. And
what if they stop making the bags you need?
I have no problem with gently emptying the dirt cup. I'd rather see
what I need to empty than be guessing how full the bag might be.
