I am as concerned about replacing a bag monthly that cost $5 or more ea. $60 or more per year. Add in the $30 annual maintenance charge. More if parts are needed.
The Dyson filter can be washed and reused (unlike the bag). I doubt the filters would need replacing within 5 or more years. Which is less expensive to operate?
Other things to consider: The clean & service on a bagless vac is $15-$25 more than a bagged vac. The filters on Bagless vacs need to be changed more often as well, even the "lifetime" Dyson Hepa needs to be changed pretty often. A belt change on a cogged belt is very rare but a Dyson belt change could be $100.00!!!!

Ill take a shot at this question, In all probability the consumer or dyson user does not follow the service schedule, if they were told beforehand of the maintaince involved they would of never had bought it the first place. Every single dyson problem is due to the user refusing to follow the schedule of maintence.Other than the usual belt and clutch problem. Please trust me i would not lie to you says the fine british fellow..... MOLE

MOLE Hi mole Bingo!!! upkeep/service or lack of....will kill any vacuum but more so on a bagless....99% of most bagless dont come in for service until its cyclones/filters are caked up clogged up....and that neglect is gonna cost you more due to the xtra time and work involved in restoring it to its like new performance...... i like the filtering of the dysons...but lifetime they are not. but proper filter maint is a must on dysons/bagless......the dysons /bagless that came in for annual maint with proper filter maint were the ones that performed as good as the day they were bought. turtle

Bagless are multiple times more filthy than a bagged machine (assuming the bag was put on correctly, if not, a higher charge is applied). They easily take more time to thoroughly clean.

Hello turtle: Why are the dysons brought in for service [if they are perforiming as good as new]? Preventative maintenance? Carmine D.

Hi Carmine
Yes....we did have some dyson/bagless owners who were all about prevent maint. on everything they own...new filters every year-belts..ect reguardless of how clean they were....nor were any of them pet owners....that i do remember for sure . They were all very happy with their vacs and how they performed...(no pets..odor ) could be the reason? This was when the 7 and 14 were still pretty popular..and when we used to work on them. Idont really remember seeing any dust leaks anywhere either...but did see the light coating of dirt/dust when you removed the pre-mtr filter on some not all. turtle

Thanks turtle. Filters and servicing are more costly in bagless vacuums. Needed more often too than in bagged vacuums. Preventative maintenance is highly recommended to keep the bagless working properly vice bagged vacuums which can take more abuse and neglect than the more labor intensive sensative bagless. Have to daily dump dirt bins because of small capacities and temperament of motor to dirt/lack of air flow. So I ask, what are the advantages of bagless over bagged.
