Classification

Currently, there are 2 types of vacuum cleaners:

  • With dust bags. The dust bag can be reusable (textile) or disposable (from synthetic material or paper).
  • With containers. Such models of vacuum cleaners are equipped with cyclone separators. Most often there are two of them. At the end of cleaning, the container is washed with water, eliminating residual dust.

To find out which vacuum cleaner is better - with a bag or container, we will consider both options in more detail.

With dust bag

For the manufacture of dust collectors, airtight materials are used. For this reason, dust trapped in the air stream settles inside the bag. After cleaning, air through the filters is discharged out of the outlet.

Important! Modifications equipped with dust collectors are small and extremely easy to use.

Benefits:

  • Efficiency. The dust collector perfectly performs its tasks, regardless of the suction power and the operating mode of the device.
  • Compared to conveyor-type apparatuses, a vacuum cleaner equipped with a bag is much quieter.
  • A disposable dust container is thrown away. At the same time, the risk of dust getting to the owner is minimal. The risk is generally zero if there is a special valve in the bag.
  • Removing from the housing is completely effortless.
  • Low cost.
  • Many models have larger bag capacities compared to containers.

Important! If the bag is reusable textile, then the cost of buying dust collectors disappears. To figure out which one is still more convenient for you to use, read the article on types of bags for a vacuum cleaner, their pros and cons.

Minuses:

  • There are times when the dust collector is torn, and this is a direct danger to the vacuum cleaner engine.
  • Paper containers are dense, so aggregates are quite powerful.
  • The cost of acquiring new paper dust collectors. If the bag is textile, this problem is not relevant.
  • As the bag fills, resistance increases. If you do not empty or replace the dust bag in time, the motor may fail.
  • Many modifications of vacuum cleaners are outdated, so the production of disposable bags suitable for this model may be suspended. In addition, cleaning the cloth container is not the most hygienic occupation, and there is little pleasant in this.

Important! Pets bring a lot of joy, but cleaning their wool is a lot of trouble. On our site you will find tips on how to choose wool vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum cleaner with container

The main advantage of this option is the absence of costs for the purchase of replaceable bags. Cleaning this device is much more convenient and less time-consuming - in comparison with the previously described devices, it is enough to shake the dust out into the garbage bucket and rinse the container bowl well.

pros

Advantages of the best vacuum cleaners with a dust container:

  • Convenient device for large garbage. Thus, randomly seized buttons, coins, and other equally necessary things will not be lost.
  • High suction power, which does not depend on the degree of filling of the container.
  • The use of special filters for air purification.
  • Thanks to the cyclone filter, the working life of the motor is quite large.

Minuses:

  • First of all, this option is not for those who would like to save on a purchase. Compared to the cost of a “brother” with a bag, this unit is much more expensive.
  • When choosing a particular brand, it is advisable to opt for models using multicyclone technology, since a conventional cyclone holds only 97% of the dust.
  • Loud noise at work.
  • Power is lower compared to models equipped with a textile dust bag.
  • The need to rinse the container after cleaning.
