I love this vaccum. It's bagless and has a hepa filter. It is a small canister though so needs to be cleaned often. Also keep in mind, even though it is a hepa filter.. according to the manufacturer you still need to replace the hepa filter every 6-12 months, which I wouldn't have bought had I have known. With that being said, this is a small, very light vaccum which is perfect for the little carpet we do have!
