Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Having sold them in a previous life, marketing and hype.
We got a lot of people who would "upgrade" from a Miele vacuum because they wanted to stop buying bags, then see them a few months later buying bags for their Mieles.
Sorry to all the people who like them, but bagless vacuums leak sooner or later and say what you will about upright vacuums, you just can't reach as many spots as a low profile head on a pole.
what do you mean by
leak dust? that's when you need to change the filters, which is also the case for vacuum with bags, for sure it's less often as the bag is the primary filter itself (after reading again I realised that you just said that...😅)
Even though vacuum with bags are easier to maintain, I still like my bag less vacuum (a corded one) because I don't have to think to buy bags
Iirc, dyson advertises their vacuums never need to change filters. But thats probably that break before you ever get to replacing a filter. Lol
There is some magnet or sensor in the filter and if they is some small misalignment it refuses to work, I’ve had to replace the filters on at least 2 Dysons because of this ‘feature’. I’m not sure what it achieves… other than ensuring you need to replace parts after you’ve cleaned it a few times and the fit gets sloppy.
