The LG Komprssor fails to live up to it's own hype.

If Dyson’s leak dust as you claim, then why do researchers give him the “Asthma Friendly” seal of approval?  Dyson's do not leak dust under normal circumstances.  I'm not linking in hopes to convert the vacuum hardcore types but I do encourage all folks who simply want to know about Dysons (before making a vacuum purchase) to look at the research.        DIB

I vote for simply putting it in a filtrete bag to begin with.  Works fine and actually keeps the insides of the vacuum cleaner.

I second that motion. 

I'm very impressed with the quality of the vacuum cleaner paper bags on the market today.  Originals and replacements.  I find from my own experience that vacuums with full-bag indicators allow more bag capacity to be used up before engaging when good quality filter paper bags are used in the vacuums.  And the vacuum maintains decent suction right up to the point of a new bag replacement.  Plus the prices of the filter bags are more reasonable and affordable than the bagless vacuum filters [IMHO], which are a rip-off.

If you hold a Laser Particle Counter near seals, cord winders etc on vacuums that are not sealed systems you will get various counts of particulant matter. FACT.

As for approvals and certifications by agencies we all know they can be distorted to fit the company needs. I have personally seen meter readings. If they are acceptable to you than fine. I however feel I HAVE to tell my customers the facts, pluses or minuses about machines. I don't know why Dyson is such a touchy subject for many. I read of lot's of happy customers and I have many people come into my shop telling me how much they hate their Dyson. Along with the panasonic I think they are the best of the bagless and in a good price point.

THEY LEAK DUST ... while vacuuming and disposing. Scoffing at or denying that fact is irrelevant. The real question is: Is that acceptable to you? If so, by all means buy a bagless.

I also think serviceability, availability of parts and can a local shop fix my vacuum or do I have to send it back to the manufacturer, should also be important when purchasing.
