Bagless vacuum cleaners are how most modern vacuum cleaner are engineered. There are many advantages to them and they are considered environmentally friendly. The reason is that there is no bag to be through away that could end up in a landfill. The old style bagged vacuum cleaners would not only be messy but the paper bag was also the filter from which the air would travel through and trap all the particles of dust and debris.

Today's modern bagless vacuum cleaners are equipped with several traps and a hepa filter to collect not only the large dirt particles but also the fine dust particles that could pass through a paper bag. A hepa filter not only traps dust of a smaller size than most bags but also mold and mildew as well. To help keep the suction at it top volume the hepa filter is removable and cleanable.

Another advantage is the multiple trap system most bagless vacuum cleaners have engineer into their units. Unlike the old bag vacuum cleaners that has one place for all of the dust and debris that is picked up and does become clogged, the bagless is different. With a multiple trap system, the larger particles are trapped and separated from the smaller particles. This allows for the air to flow through at a more consistent rate for a longer period of time. This will help maintain an overall even cleaning job.

Periodically the bagless vacuum cleaner does not only need to have the traps emptied but also cleaned. Most arte made out of durable plastic that is safe to wash with warm soap and water. This will help maintain the efficiency of the bagless vacuum unit.

Bagless vacuums do come in all the variations that bag vacuums cleaners come in including standup, canister and small portable units for furniture and cars.
