Q: How do I choose between a bagless vacuum cleaner and one with bags?

A: Do independent research until I arrive at my answer, which I finally have:

First I did a Google search that brought up Choosing the Best Vacuum Cleaner by Consumer Reports: 

 Bagged vs. Bagless:
“Bagless vacuum cleaners save on the cost of purchasing bags, but they also require more filters that need periodic cleaning or—for HEPA filters—replacing. The dust and mess of emptying the bin of a bagless model can be problematic if you have asthma or allergies.“

Then I found an article in the same search that reviews the 10 Best Commercial Vacuums for Home Use or Worksites 2019 and they are all bagged vacuums.

Source: https://primereviews.org/best-commercial-vacuums-for-home-use-or-worksites/

- - - - - - -

Then I remembered when I worked as a commercial housekeeper, and the facility only used bagged vacuums; so I know and can verify from my own experience that bagged vacuums are the standard in luxury commercial facilities; and since bagged vacuums are the standard, that tells me that commercial businesses don't even expect their employed housekeepers to spend time cleaning vacuum filters, so I will not put myself through that at home when it wasn't expected of me on the job.

Conclusion: I originally thought bagless would be the way to go for my next vacuum upgrade and was set on getting one, but the more I research, the more I am realizing that a bagged vacuum will suit my needs best; I have also read a good amount of vacuum reviews where people went bagless and hated it due to the small bins that require emptying after each use and went back to a bag that holds more. I don’t doubt bagless has its benefits, but when it comes to what will work best for my vacuuming regime I will stick with a bagged model, since bags are the standard in luxury and that’s good enough for me.

Housekeeping Tip: Not sure how often to vacuum? Consider the fact that vacuuming happens every day, multiple times a day, in luxury destinations where people pay good money to vacate their homes; therefore, if people pay for and expect daily cleanliness outside their homes, then that should always be the goal inside a home as well. After all, if you wouldn't pay money to stay somewhere that's just like your home, then why are you paying to live in your home?

The Problem With TCM's Closed Captions and How To Fix It (For DISH Customers!)

Captioning Service 1 is the DISH default; switching it to 0 (zero) works with TCM captions. I don't want my MTV any more, but I do want my captions, especially on TCM where old movies are full of fuzzy sounds, funny accents, and mumbling voices -- and thanks be to the stenographers who make it possible! However, the past few months TCM's captions have not been as consistent and it made me question if they stopped captions altogether since all the other channels still had captions. The good news is TCM didn't do away with captions, but the Captioning Service setting did change without any word given to DISH customers or TCM viewers, at least not to this one. Scroll to the end to read the solution for DISH customers, or keep reading for my rhetorical digression: Gee, if only there was a way to inform paying customers of changes like this? For all the useless information TCM hosts spew, they could at least give some useful information since their captions are th...

Kinky Kicks, Disgraceful Dames, & Hollywood Hypocrisy! My 10-star Movie Review of 'Smarty' from 1934

My 10-star review on IMDb.com of ‘Smarty’ from 1934 , starring Joan Blondell, Warren William, Edward Everett Horton, Frank McHugh, and Claire Dodd:  Kinky Kicks, Disgraceful Dames, & Hollywood Hypocrisy! Marriage and divorce lawyers take a bigger beating in this movie than Joan Blondell does, and if a single slap on the face equates to domestic violence then people don't know what domestic violence really is! There is more violence against women in modern movies than there is in this film, yet people are now programmed to believe that it's acceptable for women to get beaten so long as it isn't by their husbands! Please, go sit through 'True Romance' and watch Patricia Arquette take a bloody beating from James Gandolfini if you think 'Smarty' is violence against women. Even 'Goodfellas' has more marital violence, yet both AMC & IFC can't stop showing it which tells me that reckless violence against women is the status quo per th...

Marriage is Hell and Love is a Battlefield: What You Don’t Know About Marriage If You Haven’t Been Married

Q: What is marriage? A: Marriage is like the U.S. Marines -- it's not a rose garden! If Harry & Sally had an awkward multi-year courtship on the way to the altar, I would say that my husband and I had a completely catastrophic 19-year courtship on the way to the courthouse.    As of this writing, it is now the 21 st anniversary of the beginning of our long and unconventional relationship, which started with a chance meeting on Valentine’s night in 1999; and our two-year marriage anniversary is still a couple months away which took place on a Friday the 13 th in 2018 -- unconventional is putting it mildly! In fact, I’ve now known my husband for over half of my life and it didn’t happen without overcoming a lot of issues that rip many couples apart -- the funny thing is that we dealt with most of those issues before we ever got married, LOL! Needless to say, I put my time and tears into our relationship, and I totally earned the title of Wife just l...
