Which Type Do You Use?  

I have a very old, very heavy, upright Kirby. It cleans good, I have to get bags for it. I also have an inexpensive, light weight vacuum that you empty the dust cup. It is upright but has a way to use a hose and attachments. Right now it is easier for me to use.

I do not use a vacuum cleaner, just use brooms and mops for cleaning floors

Vacuum definitely is better than conventional sweep.
The dust won't fly up, however it consume electricity
and quite tedious. My husband bought one big vacuum cleaner
that need to change the dust-bag. At first he is hardworking
to drag it out and vacuum. As times passes by, the vacuum cleaner
became permanent resident at the store room.

We ended up just sweep the floor

Well, as i do not use a vaccum cleaner yet.. so i cannot tell you much... sorry! anyway is that important stuff?? and how it works...
