That is not unique to the Dyson brand.

Don't know how it looks in dyson vacuums, but in every brand I've tried, bagless vacuums are a disaster. They either don't filter that good, require special cleaning or both. One bagless vacuum I've recently used was designed so awfully, I joked that it should come with another vacuum to clean it. From what I've seen in pictures, Dyson's designs are much more easy to clean.

Pretty much all the Dyson's I've used have had very poor suction and hardly pick up anything.

The Toshiba bagless cleaners work well in my experience.

It's funny I had a few friends locally raving about how good dyson vacuum-cleaners were. I thought my existing vacuum was just fine, but I borrowed an upright from a friend for a few weeks and when I did I was hooked.

I started out by vacuuming the floors with my existing machine, and used tried the dyson afterwards. The amount of stuff it sucked up was very surprising.

Sure the dysons are a lot more expensive than the generic machines, but I have to say that I loved mine. It's only because I live abroad now, and I don't have carpets that I've not looked into getting another.

It was.

Other brands started to sell bagless vacuums only after Dyson first success. For other brands, bags was as profitable market.
