I remember the old pre-bag bagless machines, which were very messy and
troublesome to empty, but I've never seen one of the newer ones being
emptied. It's hard for me to imagine its being less trouble than
opening the vacuum cleaner to get at the bag, but if you say so, you
must be right. I guess I need to see one in action.

Both bag and bagless types can result in some dust getting into
the air when getting rid of the dirt, but it is not much, especially
if you move slowly.

I like not having to hassle about bags.
