Bag vacuum cleaners require a bag and this is what catches the dirt that you vacuum up, when the bag gets full, you simply throw it away and replace it. Canister vacuums suck up the dirt into the canister attached to the vacuum. You then detach the canister and dump the dirt out of the canister.

What is a vacuum cleaner used for?

A vacuum cleaner is a cleaning tool in many households. Most come with a carpet and rug cleaning design, which features a rotating brush to pick up dirt so that the vacuum can carry it to the bag. These are called 'upright' vacuum cleaners, as opposed to 'canister' vacuum cleaners, which are connected by a hose to the tool being used. Many upright vacuums now have hoses, which can be used like a canister hose, and some canister vacuums have power heads, with rotating brushes. Vacuum is created by an impeller, which pulls air from one part of the machine to another. The low pressure, or 'vacuum' is used to transport the dirt and dust into a bag or receptacle. Some vacuum cleaners are mounted on trucks, and have hoses six inches (15 cm) in diameter, and are used for cleaning industrial sites. They are powered by the truck engine, and have very large tanks that the material is stored in until disposal.
