Trying to find a vacuum cleaner that uses bags

I've had it with bagless vacuum cleaners. True, you don't have to buy bags, but with bagless, dust and debris gets into the air. I just want to take the filled bag and throw it out intact without breathing dust! Help, please. What brand is best?

I like Eureeka Bravo the Boss or Hoover Windtunnel. Hard to find in stores but I purchased mine online at Walmart.

I use Oreck..its very light weight and a very good vacuum and the easiest non dusty way to change the bags too

I got SO tired of returning vacuums to the store after they failed to clean a 9x7 rug without breaking in some way..I finally was satisfied with a Sears upright bagged model, @ less than $200..Brands I had to return were Hoover & Electrolux, I looked at Dyson but they were outrageously expensive and very poorly made..

I have always used Sears Canister vacuums. They are so strong they can lift the carpet off the floor. In 50 years I have only had to purchase 2 of them. Best bargain of my life. Easy to store, easy to use.

I'll keep your comments in mind. What I like about the Dyson ads is that they look so light and sexy, but I've read Consumer Report reviews that they're not worth the expense compared to other similar products because the other highly rated competitors clean just as well. But I like that it occupies minimal real estate -- another consideration of mine. I once ditched a brand new Eureka (an old model) because when I took it for repairs after using it maybe 3 times, the shop was going to charge me for it and I walked out of the shop and left it there, enraged.

We have a Miel which uses bags has a filter and have had for about 3-4 years. Works great!

I use Eureeka Bravo and bought a Kenmore floor tool to add to extension for my hardwoods. Under 110.00. Have not used Hoover in a few years.

Well then, all it can recommend is a Hoover! Still good. Try Walmart or Target.

I had an old Hoover canister vac-the kind that floats on a cushion of air-that lasted close to 40 years..newer Hoovers don't seem to match, quality-wise..

I swear by bagged ........... and now that they have the scented bags too........... makes it smell fresh while vacuuming................ wouldn't have it any other way............ just bought the cheap one at wal mart.............. last one lasted almost 15 years........... with just replacing belts once or twice.............. and to me they actually compact the dirt more........... have 2 labs that are shedding................ opened it to replace the bag and just could NOT believe how much was jammed into that bag.

It's a Bissell Powerforce............ think it was around 40-50 dollars.............. and I spend a little more on the febreeze bags for it.......... little strip you pull of the bottom of the bag before you put it in sweeper............... heavy? I used it on steps.......... many times before....... little awkward there but, can be done....... otherwise.......... no not heavy............ but, when I put new bag in............ my 3 year old grandson likes to help push it...........but, for awhile after I put a new bag in............. he can't budge it......... LOL really pulls out the dirt. Uses type 7 bags. soooooooo as for the rock scientist............. easy as pie to operate lol

I succumbed to watching an infomercial on the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away model. I am still not sure what to get, but this one sounds great. Does anybody own this and what can you tell me about it?

I used to have an Oreck with bags, which I loved, but gave it to my daughter. I bought another Oreck last year, but just for carpets and am sorry I bought that not because it doesn't work (and it has bags! which I wanted), but because it's rather heavy and cumbersome to use. I still haven't found the right one for me -- one that can do both bare floors and rugs with upholstery attachments, with bags, and easy to carry around. I've bought and discarded 3 cleaners in the last 2 years. Sigh.
