how do you empty the dust bin?

Hilary, It isn't obvious. As others have said, step down on the black lever in back and then lift the handle and dust container out of the base. On mine I turn it over and pull back on a gray tab that allows a door into the dust container to open. You may be surprised at how much "dust" is in there. Bill

Push your foot down on the black pedal in the back. It will lift the box out. You will then push the purple button on top. It will drop the box.

Very simple. For this model, press the foot pedal on the right corner facing you, and the cup will lift right up.

Step on the release button on the top of the base,lift off the base, hold it over a waste basket, then push the button that's on the handle and the dust bin opens. Hope this helps

Hilary, To be very honest I was very unhappy with this purchase. When trying to empty dust bin it would not release. Received it one day and returned it the next day. If you have a old shark (Mine is about seven yrs. old and I think you can still get them online ) I ordered a new battery and it works well. In my opinion this model is not worth the money!! Hopes this helps.

This cannister is very easy to empty, but there is a technique. In order to contain any lose or fine dust, I hold the mouth of the trash bag around the opening of the cannister. When I shake or move the cannister around to loosen any debris, this keeps the dust inside the trash bag and out of my nose!

I have removed the dust cover. There is a little plastic piece in the back which you would use to hold and lift the unit. You can pull it down and back, and it does snap out and you can clean the little filter. then snap cover back on. You will see where the little tabs are so you can reinsert properly.

When I am done dusting, I shake out the duster and then wash it very carefully, in the sink. I do not wring it out, I just lay it outside to dry. Hope this helps.......

The dust tray easily lifts up from the top of the sweeper! The sweeper comes with a metal tool that you use to clean the bottom brush! So easy!

There are two clips on the bottom toward the hose that you squeeze in to remove the dust catcher.

I clean mine window fans by taking a stiff broom to them regularly. Set the fans to blow out highest setting, vigorously brush the face letting the broom bristles poke through slightly. The dust gets sucked out the window, blown away by the fan and doesn't come inside.

What I have done is first vacuumed the foam filter, then take out the two perm filters and use the brush attachment on my Kirby... It has enough suction to get out almost all the collected dust... I also have a unit in another room to reduce dust in my apt... Hope this helps...

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

I haven't owned it that long, so I never never washed it. I just keep it in the bag it came in. I would assume you could just shake it out and get the dust off.

The casinster near the handle collects the dirt. There is a red release tab near the side of the canister. Just pull that back. It will open the back of the canister so that you can dump what has been collected. The opening will snap shut after emptying.

There isn't any dust with this product. We place the pellets directly in a litter pan and use a standard scooper to remove the soiled pellets.

After dusting, I simply use the vacuum cleaner to "refresh" the duster. Careful to hold it tight or it'll get sucked into the vac

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.

I use a process of sweeping up most of it and then use a shop vac with a bag system inside to clean everything. You can put it down with a rose sprayer. Hope this helps.

There's a cup release button, it's grey and on the opposite side of the handle from the power button. ONce it's removed you just turn the top and dump. I usually have to shake the filter into a bag to loosen up the cat hair and dirt. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.
