Now that I have it narrowed to a Sears Kenmore - bag or bagless?
wrote in message ... 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? 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 |

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. |
