Most Frequently Asked Questions About the Best Vacuum Cleaners In 2024

Over the years, our readers have sent us a lot of interesting questions about the best vacuum cleaners. Because they have been intentionally designed to be extremely easy to use, most of the time, we don’t even think about how they work or the different quirks in their designs.

But when you actually take the time to learn about them, these little pieces of knowledge can dramatically improve your best rated vacuum’s performance.

In this article, we have compiled a list of some of the most essential questions that we have been asked, in the hopes that you will find them useful.

Which One Is Better, Bagless or Bagged Vacuums?

There is really no formal consensus on which type is better; it all depends on what you want in a good vacuum cleaner.

In bagged vacuums, all of the dust, dirt, and debris are sucked into a self-contained bag. Once the bags are filled up, detach them from the vacuum and just throw the entire bag into the trash, then replace it with a new one.

The biggest advantage that you can get from this design is that it causes no fuss. At no point in the entire process will you have to come into direct contact with all of the harmful particles inside of the bags. Top vacuum cleaners’ bags are usually equipped with their own filters and seals to prevent them from leaking outside, so if you or anyone in your family are allergy sufferers, bagged vacuums will be extremely handy.


The disadvantage to it is that it is quite expensive to purchase bags every now and then.

Bagless vacuums, as the name suggests, do not use bags. Instead, they have an integrated dust cup inside that holds all of the things the vacuum picks up while it is cleaning. When these cups are filled, they have to be detached and dumped. Though it can be quite messy and dangerous for allergy sufferers during the dumping process, it is considerably cheaper.

What Is A Filter? Do I Need to Change the Filter? If So, How Often?

The filter is an essential component of a vacuum cleaner. When your corded vacuum or cordless vacuum cleaner works, it sucks in a huge volume of air that contains dirty materials. Because the air has to be vented out of the vacuum, all of the fine dust, allergens, and harmful microscopic particles that it carries must be separated and kept inside of the vacuum somehow.

That’s the job of your filter. It makes sure that all of the dirty particles that your best rated vacuum captures don’t escape.

Most filters nowadays are HEPA filters. These filters are top-of-the-line and are capable of removing every trace of dirt and dust that passes through.


Fortunately, the filter is one of the most durable components in the vacuum. Most people using their vacuum cleaner for three to four years never have to bother with replacing the filter for a new one. Instead, the most they have to do with their filter is to detach it and wash all of the dirt and grime off of it.

You should only replace your filter if it has become so dirty that it cannot be washed and reused anymore, or if it is broken. In that case, check your user’s manual to see which type or model of filter your vacuum requires. If it is a proprietary filter type, call your manufacturer or check their website to order a new one.

Conclusion

That’s it for these best vacuum cleaners in the world FAQ. Though this article is fairly short, we hope that the information in it has helped you somewhat in understanding your vacuum cleaner a little bit better. Until next time!

Clogged cabin filter could be the issues, but he said air flow so my guess the fan or the blower unit is going out.

That is something that is out of my experience. I would as a mechanic or an Air condition expert for that one.

Any input would be appreciated.
Hello Resolution and welcome to the forum -

Although you say "once in a while", I'd suggest you check the fuse.

When it's not blowing air, does it sound like the blower is ON?

If the blower is running, but no air is coming out, it may be that the vent(s) are not opening up.

Like said above, check the cabin filter see if you can confirm that the blower motor is actually running.

I hope you get er sorted out.

Do you have the Subaru limited dual climate control, or basic style? Is your car actually 2jz swapped? If so, I would definitely consider talking to whoever did the swap.
