10 Best Vacuums For Pet Hair Around The House
Best budget vacuum for pet hair: Eureka PowerSpeed — an under-$100 option with an XL dust cup, different pet-specific tools, and five height adjustment settings so you can easily transition from your living room's hardwood floors to your bedroom's high-pile carpet — no fight necessary. What's included: Upholstery tool, dusting brush, pet tool, crevice tool, upright vacuum. Promising review: "I've tried many vacuum cleaners that claim to be for pet hair, but this is the only one that absolutely SLAYS! I'm almost embarrassed at how much pet hair it picked up on first use, since I thought my previous vacuum was decent. For reference, I have two medium-haired fluffball cats and regular visits from an American Eskimo dog who sheds more than I ever thought possible. I'd vacuum after each visit, but I always suspected there was leftover fur in the rugs and carpet. Not anymore! This machine is exactly what I needed. Never thought I'd write a product review for a cleaning device, but here we are! I love it. 10/10 would recommend." —KCGet it from Amazon for $89.99. Best handheld vacuum for pet hair: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser — a compact model ideal for upholstered furniture, carpets, and car interiors. This lil' guy offers a surprising amount of suction and a handy crevice tool that helps clean hard-to-reach areas so you don't have to turn a blind eye to any messes. What's included: Crevice tool, brush, and cordless reviews: "Wow! I was skeptical — I'd tried to remove pet fur with industrial-strength tape rollers to no avail — but this worked AMAZINGLY! Transformed our cushions that were covered in cat fur, and now they look good as new. A miracle given the price." —J. Greenberg"I have a Maine Coon cat. He has lots of fur that grows in thick for the winter, starting in the fall, and by around spring, it all goes POOF, and fur is everywhere. I also have a short-haired domestic cat who sheds a bit in spring. This vacuum is fantastic for the cat tree, along with any other upholstered furniture. Also fantastic for getting dog hair out of your car as well. I use the narrow tip for edges around the house. The pet eraser attachment is perfect for dealing with pet hair. When done, I do recommend taking the pet eraser head apart and cleaning the bristles out and rinsing out the compartment that holds the debris." —J. MansonGet it from Amazon for $68.99. Best cordless vacuum for pet hair: Dyson Gen5detect — a splurge-worthy pick that's the most powerful in Dyson's lineup. It's got a lot of things going for it, but one of the coolest features is the illumination technology, which allows you to see hidden-in-plain-sight dust, debris, and pet fur, so you always get the job done on your first go. What's included: Combination tool, built-in dusting and crevice tool, hair screw tool, digital motorbar cleaner head, fluffy optic cleaner head, cordless vacuum, charger, docking station, wand, and review: "I previously had a very cheap vacuum, and vacuumed the carpets regularly. After getting this, popping on the carpet cleaner head and getting to work, I fully filled the chamber over three times. The amount of yuck this thing sucks up is phenomenal. The green light is fantastic, and helps me to see and then capture lots of pet hair I wouldn't see with my eye, but would feel gross on my feet. And you get confirmation of the cleanliness via the sensors. My place has never been so clean. Green sensor mode is super quiet, and while swapping in the carpet head is louder, it's far less loud than a cheaper vacuum and 10X more powerful. The battery lasts far longer than I would need, and setting it on the charge port means it will always be full when I need it again. A lavish purchase, but if you care about cleanliness and are looking for a long-term investment that is superb and powerful, this is an excellent choice." —jimbojonesGet it from Amazon for $799.95. Best corded vacuum for pet hair: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus — a lightweight, agile pick with a series of specialized pet tools and features, including a tangle-free brush roll, one-touch dust canister emptying (so you don't have to touch anything yucky), and an optional Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator filter to keep things fresh. What's included: Crevice tool, pet turbo eraser, and 2-in-1 pet dusting brush. Promising review: "My Parson Russell Terrier sheds clouds of short, white fur. My Border Collie sheds buckets of long black hair. The beige wall-to-wall, low-pile carpets in the primary and guest bedrooms were taking a beating. Enter this Bissell vacuum, and the problem of pet hair was solved. In the first 10 minutes, I filled the large canister container TWICE with pet hair. The suction is amazing. The motor accounts for most of the weight, while the body is lightweight plastic. I'm 80, and had no problems lifting or maneuvering it around. Highly recommend." —Louise O. StandishGet it from Amazon for $199. Best vacuum for allergy sufferers: Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pro — a beloved model that sucks up dander and 99.9% of other allergens with a *completely sealed XL HEPA filter,* which ensures no pesky particles leak back into your air. What's included: Pet power brush, crevice tool, and upright vacuum. Promising review: "This vacuum sucks so good. 😎 I'm preparing my office for a new job I just took working from home. What is now my office was once my kitties' bedroom — in other words, it smelled and was just dirty/hairy. No matter how hard I tried with my other vacuum, it still didn't feel fully clean. The reviews were promising for this sucker, so I knew it was worth trying out. This thing has the suction power of a black hole. It works like a breeze, and I'll be able to use it for carpets, area rugs, furniture, hardwood floors, and who knows what else! When I first turned it on, I could tell it was like driving a Lamborghini over my Toyota Prius. It can be surprising at first how much it sticks to the floor, but I fully believe that's a good thing! I'd say after getting over that initial shock, it's very easy to use! If you're hesitating on buying this vacuum, don't. It's 100% worth every penny." —Lauren CappaGet it from Amazon for $199.99. Best robot vacuum for pet hair: Shark AI Ultra — an affordable but powerful machine with a self-emptying base, HEPA filtration, and 360-degree home mapping tech so it *won't* repeatedly run into the leg of your coffee table or get stuck under your couch. What's included: Two side brushes, XL HEPA filter, Shark AI Robot, and self-emptying base. Promising review: "I am so thankful for this little robot. It saves me SO MUCH TIME. I normally vacuum and sweep DAILY, sometimes twice a day. I have three massive dogs that shed like wild, and there is not a day in my life when little dust balls of dog fur are not lining my hallway and gathering in corners of my living room. I have loved and used my Shark brand pet vacuum for over eight years now, and knew that at least with Shark, I would get great customer service and a good warranty on the robot. When I run this thing, I don't have to sweep. It doesn't do as great on my area rug, but my floors and hallways are always clear of dog hair, which is absolutely the #1 reason I purchased. If you are purchasing to combat dog hair as I did, just be aware that you will have to clean it out after every cleaning session. I also try to free the brush underneath of hair often, as the longer dog hair just wraps around it. Still, the three minutes it takes me to empty and clean the brush is wonderful compared to 45 minutes of sweeping and vacuuming every day." —TaylorGet it from Amazon for $349.99. Best combination robot vacuum/mop for pet hair: eufy X10 — a do-it-all contraption that features AI obstacle avoidance, a self-emptying design, and an auto-detangling roller brush so you never have to flip it over and perform emergency surgery as its endless beeps sear into your brain. Since it also offers powerful 8,000 Pa suction — compared to the typical 2,500 to 5,000 Pa of other vacuums on the market — you might as well get another dog 'cause double the fur is no concern. 😊 What's included: Robotic vacuum cleaner, Omni Station, and AC line. Promising review: "I can't give this robot vac/mop enough stars. Absolutely love this thing. So easy to use and to schedule tasks using the app on my phone. We have an English Bulldog who I thought shed a lot. Then, we got a German Shepherd and oh my the hair!!! I was sweeping and vacuuming, plus using a Swiffer for pets every day, and still could not keep up with all the shedding. If I missed a day, it was horrible. I set this vac to run every day, and there is so much less pet hair. This is the best purchase ever!!!" —Stephanie ThomasonGet it from Amazon for $699.99 (available in two colors). Best touchless vacuum for pet hair: EyeVac Pet — a perfect pick for anyone whose home feels like a combination Supercuts x PetSmart Groomer given just how much human hair and fur is flying around. It's also great for collecting errant litter, kibble, and any other debris your four-legged babes dabble in. Promising review: "If you have pets who shed, this is a game changer!! We have a German Shepherd and cats. The need to sweep or vacuum our floors is a daily thing. Used in conjunction with a squeegee-type broom, it only takes minutes to get up fur, litter, and everything else on the floor. It is a quality product that sits quietly in the corner. The suction power is awesome. It will collect litter, dry pet food, and lots of fur (!!), plus sand and dirt. It looks really nice and is super easy to dump the debris out. Would highly recommend this product. Has been a game changer in my house. No more hauling out the big vacuum cleaner every day!" —CathrynGet it from Amazon for $169+ (available in five designs). Best bagged upright vacuum for pet hair: Kenmore Floor Care Elite — a formidable contender with three motors that deliver 20% more power than conventional vacuums, plus an LED dirt sensor so you don't miss ANYTHING. One reviewer says they just bought a new one after their first lasted 15 years! What's included: Extension wand, pet handimate, combo brush/dusting tool, crevice tool, and upright vacuum. Promising review: "Saw the reviews and rankings on this Kenmore, and the price was good, so I purchased. Soooooo pleased!!!! I have an Oreck, and there's simply no comparison. The suction on the Kenmore is phenomenal!!! It has two motors, so when you move from the 'floor' setting to the 'carpet' setting, it almost self-propels because the suction is just that strong. Comes with two very handy attachments, which store directly onto the vacuum. Wow! Sooooo pleased. I have dogs and cats and lots of shedded hair. The wand was great for hair build-up in hard-to-reach places. Because of the two motors, it does have some weight to it, BUT I am a petite 61-year-old, and I have no problem maneuvering it. I would highly recommend it to anyone with pets!!!!! You will be thoroughly pleased!!!" —ConconGet it from Amazon for $299.98. Best canister vacuum for pet hair: Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog — a great pick for large homes thanks to its 36-foot operating radius, 🤲 which ensures you don't have to find a new outlet every few feet. What's included: Dusting brush, parquet twister floorhead, electro plus floorhead, crevice tool, handheld turbo brush, canister vacuum. Promising review: "I have 12 indoor rescue cats, two of which are long-haired, as well as a little dog. I have been through more upright vacuums than I care to think about. So my home and pets are hard on vacuum cleaners. The majority of my home is hard vinyl, with carpeting in only two bedrooms, and two large area rugs and runners. This wonderful vacuum handles all of my flooring perfectly... it's easy to maneuver... and easy to change the heads for different jobs. The suction is strong and the power head pulls itself on carpet and area rugs... You just have to guide it. The attachments work well, plus the pet tool for upholstery is the first one I've ever had that actually worked like it should. It didn't take long to get used to pulling a canister behind me, because even though it is solid, it's not heavy or hard to maneuver. My only wish is that my Miele lasts for many, many, many years, because I think I finally found a vacuum for my house full of fur!" —julie nutterGet it from Amazon for $791.34.

The best cordless vacuum cleaners for a spotless home: 10 tried and tested favourites
Choosing a cordless vacuum isn't a decision that should be taken lightly. You're likely to keep a vacuum cleaner for years, relying heavily on its ability to suck up dust, crumbs, mud, pet hair and any other dry spillages or sheddings that end up on your floor. Choosing the right model can be the difference between an effective cleaner that's a delight to pull out of the cupboard and a dud that you dread having to unblock, detangle and clean after every use. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. In this review, I took 10 of the leading cordless vacuum cleaners from a range of manufacturers and at various prices and inflicted the same cleaning tests on each one. That takes all the guesswork out of picking your next cleaner: I can tell you exactly which ones picked up the most mess. Best cordless vacuum cleaner overall: Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty IP3251£369.91 at John Lewis Best budget cordless vacuum cleaner: Vax HomePro Pet-Design £317 at Amazon Best cordless vacuum for deep cleaning: Dyson Gen5detect£649 at John Lewis Best cordless vacuum for clean emptying: Henry Quick Pro£399 at Amazon Best handheld cordless vacuum cleanerDyson Car+Boat£199 at AO I've been reviewing technology and home products for more than 30 years. In the past few years, I've been a freelance writer specialising in testing vacuum cleaners. During that time I've tested more vacuum cleaners of various shapes, sizes and types than I'd care to count, from handheld helpers to heavy-duty dirt-shifters. Most cordless vacuum cleaners are designed to work on carpet and hard floors, so I tested them all on both. To do this I weighed out spillages of flour, recycled wood cat litter pellets and pet hair. Flour and cat litter are easy enough to come by, but my dog doesn't shed enough hair to test this many vacuums. So I'm also the proud owner of a box of sweepings from a friendly (but slightly bemused) local dog groomer. I gave each vacuum cleaner a chance to pick up as much of the spillages as possible, with a single push-forward and pull-backwards motion, and weighed the collection bins before and after. Most vacuums will collect more if given more chances to go over a mess, particularly from a different angle, but I wanted relatively tough tests that would truly differentiate one vacuum from another, so I allowed only a single sweep. I also tested the batteries by seeing how long it took them to run down from a full charge – at full suction and in each one's most economical setting. I performed these tests with the floor head attached, where possible. Lastly, I tested the suction using a pressure gauge. While strong suction is useful, the cleaning tests were more important because other factors play a big part in the overall cleaning prowess. For example, a well-designed floor head can make a moderate sucker as good a cleaner as a more powerful model with an inferior brush or roller. All the machines I tested are being sent back to their manufacturers or donated to the British Heart Foundation. £369.91 at John Lewis£549.99 at Currys If there's one thing that makes cordless vacuum cleaners a pain, it's the emptying: taking it to the bin and jettisoning the debris after vacuuming. And, if your family is anything like mine, you may have to do it before you clean too because someone else didn't bother to empty it. That won't be the case with this Shark vacuum, though: it empties itself. It's also very good at cleaning. Why we love itThe Shark IP3251 comes with a base station that operates as a stand and charging dock. When you rest the cordless vacuum cleaner on it, it springs into life, opening the base of the vacuum's collection bin and sucking its contents into a larger container, leaving the cordless stick empty and ready for next time. The secondary bin has a volume of two litres, so can take a few empties of the 0.7-litre stick. That would all be pointless if the device itself wasn't up to snuff, but it's an excellent cleaner. Its floor head has a fluffy roller for hard floors and a brush bar for carpet, and it works well on both surfaces, performing a literal clean sweep in my tests. It's a shame that … I found it worked better if I held it lower while vacuuming on some carpets, with fins on the base otherwise catching when I pulled it back. That may make it better for shorter than taller people. Weight: 3.71kgMax suction power (measured): 28kPaBattery life (measured): 43minsDust capacity: 0.7lAdditional filters supplied? no £320 at Argos£317 at Amazon The Vax HomePro Pet-Design is good value for money, sitting at the lower end of the price spectrum but still coming with a good selection of tools for handheld use. It also performed well in all the tests. Why we love itIt's comfortable to hold and use, and simple to operate, with just two large buttons – one to switch it on and the other to boost the power. Battery life is displayed by a light-up ring and lasted a decent 34 minutes in our rundown test. Emptying it is straightforward, too, with a button to open the collection bin, while a pump action lifts dirt off the filter, so you don't have to poke your hands in. It's one of the few cordless stick vacuums that can support itself when standing up, so there's no need to find somewhere to lie it down between cleaning jobs. It's a shame that … the floor head is a basic single-brush bar, which is unsophisticated when compared with the alternatives you get on Shark and Dyson models. Still, for the price, it's ultimately forgivable. Weight: 3.5kgMax suction power (measured): 19kPaBattery life (measured): 34minsDust capacity: 0.7lAdditional filters supplied? no £649 at John Lewis£649.99 at Dyson Let's not beat about the bush: this top-of-the-range Dyson is the most expensive vacuum cleaner here. It's also the best, making short work of all my tests. If it's any recommendation, it's the vacuum cleaner I used to clean up any residual mess when I'd finished testing the other models. Why we love itAs with Shark, Dyson provides a soft roller for hard floors and a brush bar for carpets. However, it does this with two separate detachable floor heads, rather than rolling both into one. That means you have to switch heads each time you change surface, but it also means that they're adept at their assigned roles. The hard-floor head has a green light that illuminates the dust on the floor as you clean. Not only can you see where you need to clean but also you can witness what a super job the roller does of vacuuming everything up. The carpet-floor head has an anti-tangle mechanism that combs it free of long hair as it rotates. A dusting brush and crevice tool are inside the extension wand, so you don't have to seek them out when converting to handheld mode. It also comes with a mini motorised tool that's perfect for lifting pet hair from upholstery or just cleaning the stairs. It's a shame that … its screen is useful to indicate battery life but it also insists on counting how many particles of various sizes it's collected – a feature no one asked for. Weight: 3.5kgMax suction power (measured): 31kPaBattery life (measured): 56minsDust capacity: 0.77lAdditional filters supplied? no £399 at Currys£399 at Amazon Most cordless sticks create a dust cloud when you deposit the contents of their collection bins into your dustbin. The Henry Quick Pro is the only cordless vacuum we've reviewed here that doesn't do that because of its disposable dirt-capturing bags. Why we love itWe can't emphasise this enough – it's frustrating to vacuum the floor only to have the dust billowing out of your bin and back into the air when you empty it. With the Henry Quick Pro, you push a lever on the top and the base opens, jettisoning the bag of collected rubbish out of the bottom. It leaves no mess and has the added benefit of no filters to clean. In my tests, the Quick Pro performed decently enough, other than on hard floors with the cat litter, which it pushed ahead instead of sucking up. That job would be better tackled by removing the extension wand and using the device with a handheld attachment. It comes with a comprehensive selection of accessories, including a motorised mini head for stairs and upholstery, a flexible hose and a useful handle extension for taller users. It's a shame that … the bags have a plastic top that holds them in place inside the collection bin. Henry manufacturer Numatic claims to offset the carbon cost, but it would be better environmentally if it didn't use any plastic at all. They also cost £1.30 per 1-litre bag. Weight: 3.2kgMax suction power (measured): 10.75kPaBattery life (measured): 1hr 11minsDust capacity: 1lAdditional bags supplied? yes, six pods (bags) £199 at AO£249.99 at John Lewis Dyson doesn't manufacture a vacuum purely for handheld use, instead opting to repackage an existing cordless stick without the extension wand. The result is a handheld device so powerful that you may wish you could also use it on the floor. Why we love itThe Dyson Car+Boat is a cunning repackage of the Dyson V8. That model is now the bottom of the range of Dyson's regular cordless stick cleaners, but it makes for a handheld unit that performs above and beyond expectations. It comes with three key attachments: a mini motorised tool for upholstery and stairs; a crevice tool for gaps; and a combination dusting brush and funnel. It's a powerful combo that cleaned up my test messes with aplomb. I had to use the funnel rather than the motorised tool to collect cat litter, though, because there's no way this smaller device wouldn't just push them ahead. It's a shame that … you can still buy the V8, with the extension tube and attachments, for a similar price. It also comes with Dyson's old mini-motorised tool. Newer models come with a better-designed tool, which has a tapering roller that doesn't trap longer hairs. It would have been a nice addition to this repackage. Weight: 1.9kgMax suction power (measured): 21kPaBattery life (measured): 38minsDust capacity: 0.54lAdditional filters supplied? no Sign up to The Filter Get the best shopping advice from the Filter team straight to your inbox. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. after newsletter promotion £299.99 at Lakeland£399.99 at Gtech Best for: smaller homes The Gtech AirRam 3 is a third-generation refinement of a cleaning device that looks more like an old-fashioned carpet sweeper than a vacuum cleaner. The collection bin is in the base – you lift it out by its classy leather strap and can tip the debris straight into the bin. I particularly liked that it has edge sweepers on its front corners – a concept borrowed from robot vacuums. These flick debris out from the very edges of skirtings and kickboards into the path of the suction. It's an area in which few other vacuums are particularly effective. It didn't make the final cut because … although it was brilliant with cat litter, it didn't fare well with my pet-hair or flour tests, leaving behind dirt when I lifted the collection bin from the floor head. Weight: 3.8kg; max suction power (measured): not measured; battery life (measured): 25mins; dust capacity: 0.8l; additional filters supplied? no £199.99 at Lakeland£189.05 at Amazon Best for: light weight and light use A constant source of annoyance with cordless vacuum cleaners is that you have to find somewhere to lean them when you want to put them down. The AirFox is light and well-balanced enough to stand on its own, so you can leave it in the middle of the room while you do some dusting, and it won't fall to the floor. The trigger needs to be held down to keep the vacuum running and while there is a trigger lock to keep it in place, it's fiddly to use. It cleaned well in my tests, though, only really struggling with the cat litter, which seemed to get stuck in the floor head. It didn't make the final cut because … I found it uncomfortable to hold for extended periods because the back extends out over the handle, getting in the way of my wrist. Weight: 2.9kg; max suction power (measured): 31kPa; battery life (measured): 1hr 10mins; dust capacity: 0.4l; additional filters supplied? no £499 at John Lewis£499 at Miele Best for: simple operation Despite being a high-end brand in most categories of domestic appliances, the Miele Duoflex HX1 sits in the middle of this gathering in terms of price. That's largely thanks to the lack of additional features you get when compared with the likes of Shark and Dyson. It performed well in my cleaning tests but generally proved better on carpets than on hard floors. It operates in either floor or handheld mode. The floor head is basic, with a simple brush bar and no anti-tangle features. It comes with three handheld attachments – a crevice tool, a basic upholstery nozzle and a dusting brush. It didn't make the final cut because … emptying relies on gravity alone, so you end up having to poke your fingers into the collection bin to clear it out. Most disappointing was the battery, which didn't last long with the floor head attached, even on the weakest suction setting. Weight: 3.1kg; max suction power (measured): 12.5kPa; battery life (measured): 13mins; dust capacity: 0.3l; additional filters supplied? no £499 at AO£499 from John Lewis Best for: super-long battery life With the Unlimited 10, Bosch has gone all in on the bling. It has a very flashy screen, which informs you visually when you're changing floor surfaces, and lights up in a different colour depending on what power setting you've got the suction on. It's useful, but possibly not useful enough to justify its higher-than-average cost. The overall build quality is excellent, though. I loved the spring-loaded filter clearing lever on the back, which means you can empty the collection bin in a smooth single-push motion rather than the banging and poking you have to do with most other vacuums. This lever can also compact the rubbish as you clean to reduce how often it needs emptying. The Unlimited 10 also had the best battery, which made the unit heavy but lasted an astonishing hour and a half in its Eco setting. It didn't make the final cut because … it's a bit expensive without there being enough of a cleaning benefit to justify it. Weight: 3.8kg; max suction power (measured): 13kPa; battery life (measured): 1hr 34mins; dust capacity: 0.4l; additional filters supplied? no £92.99 at Currys£92.99 at Amazon Best for: lowest price If most of the other reviews left you thinking that you were going to have to take out a second mortgage to get a new cordless vacuum cleaner, the sub-£100 price tag of the Beldray Airgility Pet Plus+ should be a breath of fresh air. It's light and petite but has small attachments, too, which aren't large enough to pick up larger particles. It doesn't collect dirt as well as the best vacuum cleaners here, but for a fraction of the price it does a reasonable job. The biggest problem was cat litter, which was sucking OK from the floor but caused a blockage after only a tiny amount had entered the collection bin. It was surprisingly proficient at flour on hard floors but failed to agitate my test carpet enough to replicate that success. It also left a bit of pet hair behind during testing, either on the floor or stuck to the rollers. It didn't make the final cut because … it didn't perform as well as more expensive rivals, though it does still impress for the price. Weight: 2.2kg; max suction power (measured): 9.25kPa; battery life (measured): 41mins; dust capacity: 1.2l; additional filters supplied? yes, one Cordless vacuum cleaners are vastly more convenient than corded models. There's no cable to unwind and no need to find a power socket – you just take the vacuum to the mess and get started. The downside is that they run on battery power. The batteries can last anywhere between an hour or so on light settings and down to a few minutes on full blast. They should last long enough to get around an average-size house in one go, but larger spaces might need a mid-clean charge, which can take a few hours (or an expensive extra battery). All cordless vacuum cleaners will have a good go at your carpeted areas, but they work on hard floors, too. The best hard-floor models tend to come with a fluffy roller, which will be better at picking up dust from smooth surfaces, as well as a standard brush bar. One particularly good thing about cordless vacuums is that they tend to break down into handheld devices if you remove the extension wand. Check it comes with the attachments you require. If you have stairs you may like to look for a mini motorised tool, which is a bit like a miniature version of a regular floor head, ideal for vacuuming smaller areas, such as stairs and upholstery. Yes, cordless vacuums quote high levels of filtration, with some claiming to trap even the tiniest of particles, such as pollen. However, emptying cordless vacuums that don't use bags can create a messy dust cloud, so these may not be the models for you if you're allergic to dirty particles. Filters also need regular cleaning, which is something you won't be used to if you're moving away from a vacuuming system that uses disposable bags.
