Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaners

Giving 2 stars on the suction alone. Hepa filter doesn't self-clean/turn after one use. A lot of dirt falls out from the hepa filter when removing the dirt box or collects behind the the dirt box if you don't pay very close attention to aligning it just right. I really liked how much dirt this thing pulls out of the carpet but it's heavy and dirt just falls out, a lot of dirt, when emptying the dirt box. I'm returning and not getting another after reading the other reviews in here that sound just like my experience.

I returned this vacuum after a week and a half. I was impressed with how well it deep cleaned my carpets, but it was way too messy to empty the dust cup. After vacuuming both floors of my house, so much dirt collected behind the hepa filter that the filter stopped rotating. The visible part of the dust cup that collects larger particles wasn't very full. When I removed the dust cup a large amount of dirt fell from behind the hepa filter and made a mess all over the vacuum cleaner. I had to get my old vacuum to clean up the mess. I had to turn the vacuum on and off four times and empty the dust cup each time to remove all of the dirt that was lodged behind the hepa filter. I had to clean up the mess with my old vacuum each time after removing the dust cup.

I may have had a defective vacuum. but I decided not to take another chance. Best Buy wasn't happy about taking my vacuum back. I don't blame them, I sure it's hard reselling a used vacuum. I didn't want to deal with returning another one.

If I buy bagless again, it will more than likely be a Dyson but I'm leaning towards buying one with a bag. The bagless revolution seems to be a lot of hype.
