Vacuum cleaner with no-touch-no-fly-dirt emptying feature

[jhschool]

I want a new vacuum cleaner. 

I want one where, when I empty the canister/bag/whatever, I don't have

to touch the dirt or be exposed to it.  Dust really affects me and clogs my breathing

(plus it grosses me out).

 

Right now I have the red Dirt Devil upright one.  I have to unhook the canister, open it, take

the filter off with my hand, and empty out the dust into a plastic bag while bits

of dust fly off the filter--it's gross and gets around my face.  Even if I use a glove or plastic

bag to hold it, I have to shake out the filter (surrounded by dust).

 

I want one where I don't have to touch the dust or have it flying.

 

Is there something like that?  I would be OK with a bag one where I just throw

out the bag.  Does that even exist?

I recently bought a Dyson.  To empty it I hold it over the garbage can and push a button.  The bottom opens and the dirt falls out.  I also LOVE how well it vacuums.

Yup. My Dyson does that. Just one of its many outstanding features.
