I really like my Sebo vacuum which has been working for 15 years having previously used the HEPA/bagless brand; it only lasted a few years, so he gave up on that idea. I see all new vacuums are bagless, but I think bags keep things cleaner and the vacuum lasts longer. It remains only to find replacement bags. As long as I can get them from Revain, I'll keep my Sebo (I'm sure it will last at least another ten years!) and clean things the way I like!
