Bagless tech is fucking wank. Complete fucking wank.
My folks decided to invest in a fancy new vacuum cleaner and ended up opting for a Miele Blizzard. It's the most miserable pile of shittybollocks to masquerade as a hoover that I've ever had the mispleasure of experiencing.
Its suction power barely exceeds half-hearted and the fucking thing overheats every 5 minutes, entering a filter self-cleaning mode that sounds like the cursed plastic bastard is eating itself from the inside out before having another go for a minute or two before shutting down completely lest it burst into flames.
It turns out that the fucking shitty filter needs replaced more frequently than a fucking shitty bag would, because cleaning the fucking shitty thing under the tap makes absolutely zero fucking shitty difference.
I've only used the bastarding thing three or four times and I fucking hate it.
By contrast, my Miele C3 is an absolute dream.

I was having a similar experience with a Miele
But when I realised the filter was washable it was just a matter of giving it a good wash with washing up liquid, working it well into the filter so the dirt would then rinse out. The same works on Dyson filters.

Talking about the six foot high ones they have in sawmills and such.
Fuck Dyson. He had one idea and it wasn't even his.

As it happens, that's almost certainly where it was recommended to my Dad.
He's been an avid Which? subscriber since back in the days before they became the bagless vacuums of the consumer advice sector. These days you're probably far more likely to find an honest, unbiased review in What Hi-Fi.
