Bissell Zing Bagged Canister

“> cleaning the vacuum is also a concern, as I mentioned I have bad allergies so I don’t want something that will throw a ton of dust in my face when I try to empty it. I know it can't be fully avoided. It can be fully avoided; just use a modern bagged vacuum. Zero mess, bags last months without an impact on performance , and they leave virtually no dust inside the vacuum itself. Specially, a bagged canister is the right move for your home. My recommended sub-$100 starting point would be to get a bagged Bissell Zing or Eureka Mighty Mite and some HEPA bags (one pa k should last 1-2 years). These are suction-only machines (no rollers to clean) designed for hard floors and area rugs. If you can stretch an extra bit of cash, these canisters really benefit from some optional floor tool upgrades. The Wessel Werk D330 ($20) gives you Swiffer-like maneuverability on hard floors while the RD285 Designation ($35) has rubber squeegees that keep hair from getting stuck to the bottom on hard floors. For rugs, the $50 TK286 air-driven turbine gives you some extra sweeping and agitation for embedded debris. However, I’d like to emphasize that all of the above are optional. I recommend that people try the vacuum out in their home for a few weeks and get the tools that best help their use case. There are expensive vacuums that are worth the money (SEBO, Miele, Numatic, Lindhaus), but they sure don’t come from disposable brands like Dyson & Shark. Happy to answer any more questions you have.”
