Bagless upright vacuum cleaners are especially intended for vacuuming “wall-to-wall” carpets.

What are “Filtered Cyclonic” Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners?

Most bagless upright vacuum cleaners are the “Filtered Cyclonic” style. This style uses a method of directing a specific air current in order to rotate the vacuumed dirt and dust into a cylinder. The larger dust and dirt particles are then shoved against the cylinder wall and are then dropped into the dust bin. The smaller particles remain in the center of the cylinder and because of the nature of the air current, they find their way into the filter.

What are “Dirt Cup” Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners?

In the “Dirt Cup” version of the bagless vacuum, dust and dirt build up and collect on the inner wall of a dirt chamber into cloth bag (sometimes a HEPA filter). Many of the filters on the market today can be washed with ordinary dish soap and re-used. The filters are essential to catch any small dirt or dust particles. After the particles cake together, as a result of the movement during vacuuming, the wad of debris falls into the “dirt cup”.
