bagless vacuums are a gimmick

Most people think a bagless vacuum is the greatest thing since sliced bread, no more worries about keeping bags on hand...
The romance wears off quickley once people realize they still have to empty the dirt container, and worse yet clean filters!

Yes, bagged bacuums lose suction, some worse than others, but its still a whole lot neater to empty than some dirt cup, even if that dirt cup in on a Dyson.

Buy one now; it's going to be a collector's item soon. Put it next to your Maytag Neptune TL and your TiVo'd copy of the single episode of Heather Graham's now-canceled show "Emily's Reasons Why Not." Jesus, how low do your ratings have to be in order to be canceled after one episode?

But I digress. This testosterone-fueled Transformer wanna-be is going to have a short shelf life. Buy one now. In fact, buy two.

one of my worries about the z is, lets say you use it very often, daily. the wire that flicks the filter is eventually going to wear the filter, i imagine. i also hear the hose suction is less than expected. the front wheels seem quite small. seems they would sink into loose carpets. and the cord wrap, i wouldnt even bother, and simply toss the cord over the handle...

filter

David,
No worries on filter wear, it turns v e r y s l o w l y.

would take a LONG time for that to wear out.

Frigilux: I'll put mine next to the Neptune TL and the Royal Powercast.

imagine if it turned at brushroll rate?

brushroll rate?

That would be kinda needless no?
The filter only needs to turn fast enough so the little metal fingers can "snap" the pleats and knock the dirt off.

The turning filter is powered by its own little motor, giving the Z three motors!

But if the vacuum is sucking while the filter is turning and being flicked how is stuff going to drop off?
