Hi,

My Eureka Boss vacuum has finally worn out after about 10 years.
Motor bearings came apart and the repair man says to junk it. It was
a cheap vac, only about $89, I think, but pretty good, to last this
long.

I can't find new Eureka like it. The Eurekas are are all bagless now,
apparently.

I'm looking for another vac, of any brand, to replace it. One that
has a bag, not these new bagless ones.

Any recommendations for a cheap but good vac, with bag ?

Thanks

If you don't have carpeting and truly want to be frugal, I would suggest
a small shop vacuum. It works great for us.

Agreed. Bags are terrible. Only advantage I see to them is that you
can get special bags that are supposed to cut down on allergens. They
don't, but they claim to.

My wife has tried several vacuums over the past 10 years including a
Eureka something or other. She finally settled on a Bissell brand
bagless something or other that was specifically advertised to be good
on pet hair. She loves it. The few times I've used it, it seems to be
quite efficient at what it is supposed to do. -Dave

I was wondering what the attraction was to the bagless models. Seems
very messy to have to dump the dirt and dust into an open container,
with dust flying all over no doubt. The bag holds all the dirt in. Old
bag out and into trash can, new bag in nice and clean. Ahhhh. Just
what I'm used to, maybe.

Is it cheaper to buy a new vacuum cleaner every few years or to buy a
quality "commercial grade" vacuum once? (like used at hotels, businesses,
etc.)

Commercial grade vacuums...

(Or look in yellow pages for Cleaning Equipment and Supplies or Janitorial)
