Vacuum Cleaner

I've got a riccar with hepa filter and some other bells & whistles. It's an older model. It takes vacuum cleaner bags. I don't like the idea of using the bagless ones because when I used to use a bissel electric broom for sweeping up the kitchen area, when I'd empty the cup into the garbage the dust, hair, etc, would come flying back into my face.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a new riccar, but we're gradually getting rid of all our carpet in exchange for hardwood, laminate & tile floors -- so for $25 I bought a hardwood floor kit for my vacuum -- just an extra long hose and brush/hardwood floor attachment.

hey danyell,

i wanted to say, the bagless vacs are a no no for people with respiratory problems. i would steer clear of that one myself.

i am with lauren on this one. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> i have fantasized about the Miele vacs as they seem to be the top of the line for folks with lung issues. it's nice to hear such good things from someone who's actually had one, lauren. i am posting a link to the site of an allergy company i've ordered a lot of stuff through that has the vacs. if i had the money, i'd buy one of these in a heartbeat!

good luck. if you check around the site, they also have upright vacs.

I have a Eureka Boss with hepa filter. I would never go with bagless for the same reasons everyone else mentioned. Bagless is great for saving $$ and not having to buy bags all the time, but they are not good for people with lung issues.
