Kenmore vacuum odd hose connector

I love the bagless vacuums - you can see the dirt that it picked up. But... it seems weird - I empty the clear canister several times during a single vacuuming. At the same time I change the bag in my old kenmore canister vac every few months. And same for shop vacs - I am always blowing out / washing the filter on my 12 gal shop vac because I see lots of dust / stuff on the filter. But vac still works. And I take the bagless containers (we have several of these vacs) apart to rinse off dirt from filters and the innards of the container - they get strands / dust / built up on the surfaces that I think help make it spin the dirt / restricts the flow. Any way to know how much my efforts improve / restore suction? Are there gadgets to measure suction for vacs? How often do you do any of that with bagless machines? And again, meanwhile - the bagged canister just gets bag changes every few months. I like to think I don't have a dirty house, but surprised how much the bagless machines pick up. Any thoughts about how much effort is needed for bagless machines? Are bagless better than bagged or vice versa? How often do you change the bag on a bagged vac? Oh! And any thoughts on the add on tornado / spackle bucket products to collect most things in front of a shop vac? Are they good? Do it yourself? or purchase? THANKS!

I plug it in and hear a click near the compressor Runs for 20 seconds off for 2 minutes back on. Compressor is hot. Not sure if it is in a relay of the compressor locked up ?
