Whilst bagless vacuum
cleaners have become very popular of late, vacuum
cleaners that use vacuum bags still have
many advantages and can be just as effective.
Here is a guide to the differences and benefits between the two
different types of vacuum cleaners.
Vacuum Cleaners Using Bags
Vacuum cleaners work by using air
suction to pick up debris which is then deposited into the vacuum bag. Vacuum bags
filter out the dirt and dust from the air path so that the motor doesn’t get
damaged. A big advantage with using
bagged vacuum cleaners is that the air has less
distance to travel and so does not put as much strain on the motor of a vacuum
cleaner as perhaps a bagless model.
Vacuum bags should be changed
regularly to ensure the performance of the vacuum cleaner. They should be changed before they are
completely full and this is usually indicated by a light that turns on located
somewhere on the vacuum cleaner.
Changing vacuum bags are easy and can
generally done without too much mess; the dirt and dust is sealed within the
bag, which is simply removed, sealed and thrown away.
It is extremely frustrating to have to
change a vacuum cleaner bag mid-way through cleaning only to find you have no
spare vacuum cleaner bags to hand! It is therefore a good idea to keep spare vacuum cleaner bags at home. This is one of the main reasons that people
favour bagless models of vacuum cleaners.
It is best to use vacuum
cleaner bags that are recommended by the manufacturer of your vacuum
cleaner. Vacuum bags are not expensive to
replace and are readily available. Consult a reputable dealer for more
information.
Bagless
Vacuum Cleaners
Bagless vacuum cleaners
work by using a filtering system of some sort rather than vacuum bags.
There is usually a line in the container which indicates when the vacuum
cleaner should be emptied. As the air
has to travel further within the machine, a strain is placed on the motor and
so these machines often get hotter than bagged vacuum
cleaners.
Whilst emptying the container is fairly
easy, the process can be quite messy, with dust flying
everywhere.
Bagless vacuum
cleaners need to be looked after more closely than vacuum cleaners which use vacuum
cleaner bags. The filters need to
be regularly inspected and washed and dried where necessary.
One benefit of using bagless vacuum cleaners is that if you vacuum something up by
mistake, it can easily be retrieved from the container.
As shown, there are various different
things to consider when choosing between bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners.
Seek more advice from a reputable dealer.
