Why most vacuum cleaners sold in North America these days are bagless?

We owned canister vacuum cleaners for decades, the last Kenmore we bought is bagless. I see the advantage of both. I too like not having to buy bags, but honestly, I think the canister did a better job. After I figured out how to take apart the new vacuum to empty, it’s not so bad, but I do take it outside to empty because of the airborne dust, and the clearances inside the mechanism are tight as compared to the old canister, so things are more likely to get caught inside and it fills up much faster.

Yeah, we've been using a Dyson animal for close to 20 years now. I love not having to remember to buy bags which we had to do once upon a time.

We added a roomba for our tiled ground floor, and love it doing a general clean every morning.
