Using a bagless vacuum? Check these pics out this is typical build up of a bagless vacuum after 2 year's of usage (if they last that long) these are parts of the vacuum that most consumer's can not get to.The truth {this has been documented many times} is that all vacuums pick up Dirt, Dust Mites, Bed Bugs, F***l Matter, Germs, Filth, Bacteria, Micro-Organisms, Pollen, Urine, Vomit, Etc.. Though it is fascinating to watch this concoction of waste spinning around in the somewhat clear bagless container, but at some point it must be emptied!
Try this procedure inside your house and watch as the cloud goes p**f and spreads it’s contents throughout the room. Empty it outside and at least you have some control over where the dust cloud goes. It is an ideal project to do during the long cold winter. Now you get to the fun stuff. Because moisture is sucked into the vacuum along with the “filth” the dirt sticks to the walls of the bagless container and the filters. First, you have to use your hands with waste paper towels try to wipe off the excess that the dumping did not get rid of. Second, you also have to attempt to brush off the accumulated scum, on the filters, so they stay clean enough to let air through. Most manufacturers recommend these expensive “HEPA” filters be replaced approximately every 6 months. By the way, all the above generally means significantly disassembling the unit and then reassembling. Just think, if you could buy a inexpensive disposable bag, that is simply tossed in the trash after being filled with all the ‘STUFF” your vacuum cleaner is supposed to pick up, would you? Most people today buy trash can bags (liners) that when fill they just throw away. That’s because most people do not want to clean out a filthy trash cans! Then how has the American public been taken in by the bagless vacuum craze??
By the way, most of the customers that we see in our Modern Vac & Sew Center’s showrooms that do have bagless vacuums state to us that it was a mistake to purchase and would only purchase a bagged vacuum in the future. The simple thinking is that a consumer can save time and money by not having to buy bags. Then they see the dirt spinning around and assume all the dirt has been picked up.. Unfortunately, there is no one in the Megajippy stores to explain that bagless vacuums require much more maintenance than bagged units and their unique filters should be found, and replaced, every 6 months.
