Bagged vacuums are much better as far as sucking up dirt and keeping it contained no matter how well a bag-less filters. The down side to bagged...forgetting to buy bags, and not knowing when it's full. Bag-less are great in knowing when it's full, and not needing to purchase bags, down side to those... way to many areas and different parts to take out and clean, that get extremely filthy and it's not just dumping the cup out either, there's usually three foam filters to wash out and dry, plus the cup to empty and an upper cup to clean out (if you have one like I do), plus hepa filters to replace, which if you can find them at the stores once your vacuum is no longer "one of the newest out there" good luck. Honestly I prefer to have a bagged one now that I have gone through 4 bag-less ones. So when this one dies, and it will, I'm going back to bagged.

I prefer bagless vacuums. I have a long haired cat and his fur seems to fill up bags on vacuums very fast. I end up using more then 3 bags that's said to be the normal amount used for the normal household.
With the bagless models I don't have to worry if the bag is full and need a new one (if I actually remembered to buy them) I can just look into the clear cup and know right away if it needs to be emptied. Another nod to bagless vacuums is when I see the dirt in the cup, I automatically empty it which helps if there are allergies in the home, whereas with the bagged vacuums the bags sit in the vacuum and get mouldy and dusty - yuck!

My allergist recommended the style with the bag. Even though both have filters it is when you empty and clean the bagless kind that the contents go back into the air. With the bags, you just throw it away and replace the bag. It works for me but I know many like the convenience of the bagless. :-)

I'd say bagged, the bagless ones work great at first, but lose suction. they usually have filtrers that clog and need replacing. I have a new-ish bagless vac. and an old old bag vac. I'd rather use the old bagged vac any day, it actually picks up the dirt. I have heard that the new dyson vac's never lose suction, have no filters, and are bagless.but they are pricey I do not own one so I cannot tell you how good they work, but I do plan to buy one one of these days, so does my mother and she cleans houses.

If your going to buy consider a top fill bag type vacuum. The bag filters the air coming back into your house after vacuuming best, and top fill ensures that you get more suction as it fills up.

Bagged. I hate the bagless. When you empty them the dust flys right back up. The filter gets clogged and you gotta bang it against something to clear it. It's just gross!
I clean houses and I hate the bagless vacuums!! I hate them!!

Bag vacuum ones. I feel that the dirt gets locked inside, and I don't have to worry about anything escaping and then having to clean up all over again.

BagLESS. No allergens sitting in the closet. No bags to become obsolete before the vacuum dies. Just open, dump and you're done. No fuss, no muss.
