Very good point with the bagless vacuums. I didnt even think about that. However, I might want to add, there is a very high chance that I will not be doing the vacuuming. I get short of breathe really easy, especially when cleaning. Either my husband or a family friend that cleans house for extra money will probably be using it and emptying it out. Will the bagless part be as big of a deal if I'm not the one emptying it?
Miele vacs look really nice, but I cant afford that right now...but will keep it in mind for the future.
Diane, I will check into the Eureka Boss w/ HEPA Filter. I didnt know they made one. This Bissell vacuum is the first I had heard with a HEPA Filter. How do you like the Eureka Boss? Does it pick up good? Especially with stuff like pet hair?
