Couldn't agree more! Bagless vacuums are a false economy.
we just got a Sebo k2 kombi…best vac we have ever had…and i thought my Kirby was nice…this thing blows that away and its so light and so solid…goes to show you buy the best and buy once you save in the long run…and since we ordered off the Sebo US site they gave us the 10/10/7 warranty and its not even an onyx…amazing dedication to the customer…and this channel really helped point us in this direction since our house is too small for a central vac…thanks @Performance Reviews.
Love your channel. Ended up buying a Sebo Felix (my first bagged vacuum). Bagged vacuum's are pretty great but I think you are vastly undercutting what the real yearly cost of bags are.
Here are my biggest issues with bagged vacuums:
1) If you have kids, or cats or anything that creates gross messes from time to time, you may end up vacuuming up some food, or hairball, or whatever else got onto the ground. The vacuum cleaner will suck it up and it will stink up the bag. Especially if you're vacuuming up cat litter that gets out of the litter box. Over the course of a week or two, that bag stinks and it wont even be half full. So I end up having to replace the bag immediately before it's full. This is a huge issue with bags since a lot of stuff dropped on the ground smells.
2) You can't see what you sucked up in a bagged vacuum! What if you accidentally sucked up some kids jewelry or something like that. We'll never know. With bagless, you can see what is being sucked up. Furthermore, let's say you suck up something you didnt want to and have to get it out of the bag. There goes another bag. Because you have to cut it open to retrieve the item.
Another issue I have with the sebo felix, is it cant even suck up cherios dropped on the ground without having to change an attachment. Sort of ridiculous that a $750 vacuum fails so badly at this. It's faster for me to just get a brush and tray and do that for things like that that pull the vacuum out and try and get it to suck them up for 5min.
I think what every vacuum needs is a small bagless area that you can switch to for the gross stuff, which you can then empty and clean. Then for standard vacuuming, switch it back to the bag.
I personally hate all vacuums because none of them are really out to solve a problem, they're out to make money. And replacement parts is how they do that.
My VERY cheap Hoover bagless has been absolutely fine, but I don't use it often.
I mean consumerism is basically narcissistic entropy. Substance is irrelevant, projecting face is all that matters. So it's entirely expected that the consumerists masses will choose the functionally useless tool shaped objects with BIG SUPERLATIVE LABELS and SHINY CHROME ACCENTS and endorsed by a FANCY SOPHISTICATED ENGLISHMAN over something like a boring Miele canister. They need the mirror mirror on the wall, well in this case the carpet, to tell them they're the fairest of them all.
I agree with this, however, as someone who has grown up very poor my mom was more focused on staying off the streets and putting food on the table than buying a vacuum and was only able to afford the cheapest vacuum at the time which happened to be a Dirt Devil Dynamite and that was the only vacuum she ever had, well until things got better. It lasted a while and cleaned ok even though it wasn't a good machine and would spit dust from the exhaust, only reason it broke was because of my mentally unstable cousin freaking out and breaking everything including it which she would have also been able to do with a better machine like a Sebo. Only things ever replaced on it were the belts. To give you an idea this was a $40 vacuum, and she could only afford it when it went on sale for $20.
1:46 Hey, what's that vacuum on the right?
What I find baffling is the robot that self-empties into a bin that has a bag. A bagless machine that relies on a bagged final receptacle? We are a confusing species.
Much of the current society does not understand build quality. The products designed and manufactured today are not expected to last, so this forces people to keep buying new products. I have a 10 year old Riccar, still going strong. I have just kept it clean and replaced the brush bar, and use good quality hepa bags.
Highly intelligent and helpful video for sure!👍
Wow. I never thought about the sealed cheap vacuums that are good at filtration becoming warped from the cheap plastic/heat losing the seal…I think you can gauge how well your vacuum is working if when you're done cleaning….and furiniture has been freshly dusted with the dusting brush…if you see little to no dust the next day on what you just dusted… you're good…. I know you have a central vac…but have access to all of these great vacuums… but if I had a central vac… that's what I would use too.
STIMTASTIC…LOL. Relatable.
🙂 Also pickup different shape brooms and dust busters and something to pickup cobwebs from ceilings while ur vacuming
😒 checkout your local thrift stores, look and see if they have a traditional upright vacuum that uses paper bags, also pickup Shop Vac to vacuum up the car and for stuff all around the house like walls and ceilings and nooks and crannies. Some of the old school uprights to look out for are the ones that are built with mostly metal parts and they might have labels on them stating that it is for 'commercial' use
Any vacuum gets thown away whennit doesnt get maintained
I just bought a teal SEBO Essential G1 from the thrift store for $15, best cheap vacuum you can ever buy!
I got a Shark Stratos cordless for quick clean up and cleaning my Parrots area. It actually picks up all the big and small crumbs they drop and does well on the carpets. I also have a Deebot T8plus self empty robot that runs every night. AND I have several old school metal Royal uprights and canister vacuums when I want to do a deep cleaning. I can find parts as far as filters and normal wear parts easily and cheap for all of them. All the Royals were bought used and cheap. The cordless I watched for the best price new or refurbished and bought when a deal showed up. I Think the Shark claimed to be hepa, not sure about the robot. The old Royals were before that was a thing but you can get hepa rated bags for them.
I'm reasonably happy with all of them but I am not afraid to tear any of them down to repair them till they aren't worth fixing anymore, I doubt the parts for the Royals will ever go away and they are simple and built like tanks, very similar to Kirby but lighter.
I paid almost 520 bucks for my Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra upright (Got it from QVC with a $10 discount, so it was $489.99 plus tax, split up into 5 payments of $103.88), and it is a very solid performer. I clean the bare floors, carpeted stairs, and the upstairs carpet with it, and it always does a great job at getting dirt and hair out of the carpet and off the bare floors. The pre motor filter hardly gets dirty even after a few months of vacuuming, and the HEPA filter is still clean. This is definitely an upgrade from the Kenmore Progressive bagless upright that I used to have, the one that was a rebranded Panasonic JetForce Perform. That vacuum also did pretty well performance wise, and its HEPA filter never had to be changed for as long as I had owned it, but the cyclonic system it used wasn't as efficient as the Dyson's cyclonic separation is, and some parts of it felt cheap. Plus the belt was a pain in the ass to replace (My Dyson uses a direct drive power head, so thank god for no belts to hassle with). I used to have a DC33 and a DC07, and neither one had any issues and were solid performers.
thanks for that video ! I have a vacuum specialty store. i learned alot from your videos. i wish I could stand in a big store while people are buying cheap vacuums or too expensive(Dyson) and tell them that for the same price or just a bit more, you can have a better vacumm with a better after sale service ! people come in with their cheap Upright and have not taken care of it, and I do have to charge alot for the whole cleaning and new filters(if available). anyways, its an ongoing battle,, haha thanks for your videos. they help alot with the Miele
