Cannister filters are easy to use as they have a turn-crank that loosens the compacted dust between the filaments. That saves the mess involved of turning a felt filter bag inside out and beating it to loosen the compact dust. And that fine dust gets all over everyting unless you are using dis-posable bottom catch bags.
But... in order to clean a cannister throughly, they need to be blown with compressed air. A majority don't, but they are defeating the purpose of having the cannister in the first place.
And there is no short-cut to not using a separator barrel with either a DC or a cyclone. The bag will fill so quickly that life becomes a pain cleaning out the main dust bag. With a separator the larger stuff goes in and you simply pull off the lid and dump it. The main dust bag that gets the smaller micron dust that passes through the separator can go months sometimes without servicing.
