Vac-rant! The VacMan site is full of lengthy, crazed, paragraph-free rants about vacuum cleaners. It's full of incoherent goodness!
All canister vacuums are "bag first" collection machines, though not all are "top fill", which performs better. Canisters perform better and last longer than all uprights, except a Sebo X-1, the worlds only "VACUUM WITH A BRAIN"(TM) by design, because they sit on the ground and do not have Gravity working against them,in fact it works for them. The American/Japanese/Chinese & Korean made canisters and uprights are a long way behind the German Miele canisters & Sebo X-1 upright, worlds only vacuum that "THINKS"(TM) Vacuums in Filtration Technology, Quality of Workmanship, Design, Engineering and Safety Features that protect your investment. The German made Miele canisters & Sebo X-1 uprights are also way ahead in Cost of Ownership and only a Miele canister & Sebo X-1 upright will pay for itself in 10 years or less, due to "cost of ownership / maintainance and amp draw"
