How to chose between a bag or a bagless vacuum

I have used and owned both types of vacuums bagged and bagless and they both have their pros and cons. The bagless ones are becoming more and more popular since it is new and everyone seems to like new.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. The downside to the bagless vacuums is that you have to clean the filters every so often to make sure that it does not get clogged and it can be a messy job. The good side is that you no longer have to buy and replace the bags which will save you money in the long run. It also tends to be less bulky then the bagged vacuums.
   It is also a bit fun in the beginning to watch all the dirt that you are sucking up spinning around in the bagless vacuum. It gives you a clear view of just what you are picking up. But when it is time to dump the canister the dust flies all up in your face.
2. The downside of the bagged vacuums is always having to replace the bags, and with so many different replacement bags these days it can be a bit confusing and pricey. With so many different companies offering different bags like filtered which are better for allergy suffers and some even contain a dust flap which close the bag automatically upon removal to ensure no dust flies around. The bagged vacuums are also more expensive then the bagless versions.
3. In the end it all depends on what you want. If you suffer from allergies then I do recommend the bagged vacuum! The suction of both are good and stay good with maintenance that you should do to maintain your vacuum. With so many different vacuum choices on the market it can be confusing, but keep the simple things in mind like..

   2.The quality for what you are paying. Does it have the features that appeal to you and will help you clean the best. Does it have the tools that can connect to it that will be helpful to you?
