The bag fills up fast but the suction never lets up, even when it's half full of dog hair. I can see the dirt lines disappearing from my carpet in one pass, and the HEPA filter gives me peace of mind with my allergies.
The motor pulls so hard I can feel the carpet fibers lifting as I push, and that 99.97% dust trapping is a real comfort with two shedding dogs around. Bag swaps are quick and mess-free, which beats emptying a canister any day.
First time I've owned a bagged vacuum and the fact it traps over 99.97% of dust while I'm emptying it makes a huge difference for my allergies. Suction is seriously strong on the carpet, pulled up stuff my old one left behind.
