Kenmore elite upright. A bagged vacuum actually compresses hair and debris. Where a bagless actually fluffs it up taking up way more volume and leading to more frequent cup emptying. It should be at least a month or two if not longer for a bag to be changed.

I’d buy an E3 any day over a C3 Marin. I think the E3 premium and C3 Marin are very comparable. But the E3 is less expensive, has speed control on the hose handle, a better tool set, tool-free removable brushroll, parts are far less expensive, and legendary SEBO commercial grade build quality and repairability. The Kenmore Elite upright is mehhh (I owned one). Its brush roll is very complex and totally not serviceable. Its hose is short and has limited use. But it is ridiculously powerful with a surprising amount of airflow and has excellent filtration.
