Are bagless vacuum cleaners better than bagged?
Bagged vs bagless vacuum – what are the main differences? If you're in the market for a new vacuum, you might be weighing the pros and cons of bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners. Here we tackle some common queries, and shed light on what type comes out ahead.
1. Which is more convenient: a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner?
Like their name suggests, for bagged vacuums you'll need to change the vacuum bag from time to time and remember to keep a supply of bags in stock. Bagless models are fitted with a reusable dust box that's emptied in the rubbish bin after a vacuuming session. Beyond finding this low hassle and convenient, many people appreciate that there are no follow-up costs.
2. Which is more hygienic: a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner?
This is a common question. Both bagged and bagless Bosch ProHygienic models are equipped with a first-class filtration system with an UltraAllergy filter. Bagged ProHygienic vacuums also come with an AirFresh dust bag. If you want the best vacuum for allergies that will limit your exposure to dust, choose a ProHygienic vacuum cleaner with a bag.
3. What's best for pet hair, power, peace and quiet: a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner?
Sometimes bag or no bag isn't your only concern. If vacuuming makes your mind go to pet hair, allergies, high-pile carpet, or loud motor noise, don't worry. We've got vacuum cleaners to solve every vacuuming challenge – in bagged and bagless models. Those looking for ultimate vacuuming flexibility should also explore our cordless vacuum cleaners .
4. Which is easier to use: a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner?
When considering whether to choose a bagged or bagless vacuum, ease of use should also be on your mind. Changing a bag is easy and makes bagged models a high-comfort option. But if you ever need to retrieve small toys, jewellery or other tiny treasures from your vacuum, you'll appreciate the transparency of bagless.
For easy bag changes: choose bagged.
For easy retrieval: go bagless.
5. Which is best for cleaning my car or mattress: a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner?
In this case, it's less about bagged vs bagless and more about having the right attachment. A special crevice nozzle, for example, slides in between the car seat and centre console. In the bedroom, a mattress brush is perfect for, no surprise here, cleaning your mattress. Another option to consider: a cordless vacuum cleaner. With nothing to tie you down, you can flexibly vacuum many different surfaces, from garage and shed to the attic and bed.
