Yeah, I hate canister vacuums because I hate dragging the canister behind me.

My friends bagless Dyson also makes his whole house smell because of his dog so I don't think that's an issue unique to any brand. You can get carbon bags for some vacuums that supposedly help with odors.

Interesting to know about the Dyson! One of the reasons I was going to buy one was the appeal of being able to put all the tubes and plastic components into the sink for a good soak and cleaning in hopes that it wouldn’t stink. Have had our roomba for a year and surprisingly it doesn’t smell at all, limited use case and more supplemental than a real vacuum replacement but still. Curious as to why some stink with animals and others not.

That same friend's Roomba also does not smell, but it has an auto empty dock which sucks the Roomba's contents into a vacuum bag and that does smell for the ~10 seconds it runs but the smell dissipates since it runs for such a short time.
