Originally, vacuum cleaners had a dust bag attached to them in which the dirt that they sucked up would accumulate, for it to later be emptied out by the owner. These were usually not reusable bags, although some of the more modern models do have just plastic bags that can be binned and replaced. These more traditional vacuum cleaners with bags do still exist, and there are some definite benefits to having one.

Firstly, traditional bagged vacuum cleaners are often cheaper than the more modern bagless ones. Some come with special features, for example multiple layers on the bag for better filtration or a self-sealing dust flap that prevents dust escaping when the bag is removed. This latter feature is particularly beneficial for anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma. It also means that most bagged vacuums are more hygienic and messy than bagless cleaners, as the bag can be emptied into a dustbin much easier than the plastic containment unit on most bagless vacuums. However, you should consider the cost of having to replace the bag every now and again, as after some time it will become too dirty and worn to function properly.

The first bagless vacuum cleaner was a Dyson, and since its release bagless vacuums have become increasingly popular and hence increasingly available. Because there is no bag, the suction on these models is usually thought to be more effective. Instead of a bag, the dirt is stored in a plastic bin area that can be removed and emptied out, so you never have to replace it. However, emptying this compartment can be very messy if you are not careful and is best avoided if you do suffer heavily from any form of allergy.
