It’s getting close to that time of year again. The sun will be shining, flowers will be blooming, lawns will be growing and your kids will be running back home with tiny treasures from playing outside. Soon enough, you’ll start to find those tiny twigs, small leaves, grass clippings and microscopic morsels nestling in your carpet. Which leads us to the point of this post: It’s important to have the right, powerful vacuum to tackle the season.

When it comes to picking a vacuum, you need one that’s perfect for your home, but also perfect for you. This means knowing the differences between a bagged vacuum and a bagless vacuum. On paper, choosing one over the other might seem easy, but in reality, certain things should be taken into consideration before purchasing. Let’s dive in!

Bagged vacuums are a great at tackling a variety of different floor surfaces; carpet, wood, tile and more. They keep dirt and grim out of sight and give you peace-of-mind knowing that whatever your kids track inside won’t need to be handled by you. Why? Because whatever it is, it’s in the bag (pun intended). Bagged vacuums are also a great option if you want to keep allergens tucked away and locked in the bag. Full disclosure though, bagged vacuums do eventually require replacement bags.

Ok, forget about the bag for now; let’s move on to bagless vacuums. Another great option for tackling a variety of different floor surfaces, bagless vacuums tend to be a little more versatile. Most have a removable canister that gives you freedom to move around. And speaking of the canister, since there’s no bag concealing what’s being sucked up, you can literally see when the canister needs to be emptied.

Here are great options for bagless vacuums.
