How to choose a vacuum cleaner with a dust bag

Modern household appliances are not cheap, and this statement also applies to vacuum cleaners. But the price does not guarantee the necessary technical parameters in each case. When choosing a new vacuum cleaner, you must rely on common sense and analyze the main technical characteristics.

First, choose the type of bag. Disposable no need to empty – the garbage is disposed of with the bag. However, you will have to regularly replenish the supply of new bags. This solution is suitable if it is problematic to clean the dust container at home. It’s also a lifesaver for pet owners, as reusable fabric bags are quite difficult to clean of hair. 

Models with reusable dust collectors more economical in operation, as they do not require frequent replacement and associated costs. The reusable bag is made of durable multi-layered fabric – if necessary, it can even be rinsed in cold water. However, you need to get used to how to empty it – try to do it not in the living room. It is best to shake it outside, as this creates a cloud of dust. And do not think that a reusable bag is eternal. It also needs to be changed – about once every 6 – 8 months.

Popular questions and answers

Responds to reader inquiries expert of the online hypermarket “VseInstrumenty.ru” Maxim Sokolov.

What parameters should a vacuum cleaner with a dust bag have?

Choose the appropriate bag size. For home use, a model with a capacity of 3 – 5 liters is suitable. This is enough for several cleanings. For comparison: professional vacuum cleaners have tanks with a capacity of 20 – 30 liters.

Of course, as with any vacuum cleaner, it is important to pay attention to the power consumption and suction. The higher these parameters, the more productive the equipment, which means that it is able to remove heavier debris.

If you need appliances for the home, then it should be a compact vacuum cleaner that is easy to maneuver and easy to store. For many users, the presence of interchangeable nozzles is also important. It will not be superfluous to adjust the suction force, which allows you to adapt to the task. Pay attention to the length of the cable – it must be at least 3 m for ease of use.

Before buying, it is important to know the availability of consumables. Any bags require replacement, only at different intervals. Look at the cost of original bags and the possibility of buying cheaper ones from other brands. It is important to know this in advance, so that later you will not be left without consumables or pay too much for them.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of bags over containers?

Dust bags are better than containers in that the vacuum cleaner is quieter and better retains dust. A vacuum cleaner with a bag is smaller and cheaper than a vacuum cleaner with a container. Which needs to be washed and there is always a risk of damaging it. The disadvantages are the need to purchase disposable bags and reduced power when filling the bag.

Which bags are preferable – fabric or paper?

Both fabric and paper bags do an excellent job of retaining dust and can capture even fine particles due to their structure. Thus, the dust does not get back into the environment, but remains in the bag.

Paper ones are inexpensive, easy to install and remove, retain dust well, and are environmentally friendly. However, when collecting heavy debris or due to careless handling, they may accidentally break. And these are always disposable bags.

Fabric – more durable. They also retain dust well, even the smallest particles due to their porous structure. There are both disposable and reusable fabric bags. The latter need periodic cleaning.
