I empty mine after each use. I have had no trouble with clogging or removing it from stick. I use it daily and have had for few months.

Doesn't clog, but the rotating brush recently stopped rotating for me,and I've only had it for 2 months. (This was after I cleaned all the hair off, as well.) Without the brush rolling, it misses a lot of stuff.

Suzanne, I am having the same difficulties with this vacuum. I usually cannot get it open to take out the dirt and dog hair, so I end up pulling it out with my fingers - YUK! I finally was able to get the entire thing apart to wash it all and there is debris behind the screen that I have no idea how to get out, so I just kept forcing water through it...very frustrating. I am sorry that I bought this vacuum. It was a lot of hype over nothing.

Hey Kevin....I use my Dirt Devil constantly as I heat my house with wood...To keep it at tip top suction....take out filter and brush filter or use as I do my air compresser and blow off the dirt....you can wash filter every so often in soap and water....I buy from amazon extra filters so mine works at top capacity always....Keep it clean and it works fantastic....good luck....Slimchic13

I would look at the manual. The only time mine bogged down was when I was working with wet leaves. It worked for a while until the wet dirt that was on the leaves built up into mud caked inside the impeller case area. I would check that area for built up material (unplugged of course). Maybe there was wet material in there when you used it last, but after being in storage it dried up.

We put our pump in a dish of warm water and vinegar and it cleans the crud out well. We had ours for four years and just replaced it because it was getting too noisy. The new one is very quiet.

I have no problems. I dump immediately after brewing and rinse well with the sink sprayer. Cleans it perfectly. If something does stick, I use a toothbrush.

I tested mine out with fresh water then blew it out and put it in my bug out bag. It has been in there for around a year, I just took it out to put some more fresh water through it and it is completely clogged, Nothing being drawn through, then I blew through it and nothing came out, I poured some fresh water into it from the end and let it trickle through it. That loosened it up and I was able to suck fresh water through it.Now I am not so sure I trust it to filter water.

We have not had problems with our drains clogging from cleaning the brush. Usually, we pull the excess fur off the brush by hand and then wash out the brush.

Mine hasn't clogged yet, I also don't let it sit off for more than 12 hours.... This nebulizer requires little to no cleaning during its use, just keep filling it with oil and your good to go.

There is a squeeze tab on either side of the removeable vacuum section. Squeeze it to remove the hand vacuum, then easily remove the clear dirt hopper from the hand vac. Shake contents into the trash and replace.It's extremely simple.

No, you can have the dirt/debree go right into the can. You do have to clean it however.

I don't recall my can clogging...perhaps residue has built up in the nozzle?If it can't be cleaned, I'd contact Easy Off or Amazon about a free replacement can.

I dump as much of the solid out that I can by turning the bag inside out. Then, I rinse out the bag while it's inside out and I rub the bag together between my two hands, once it seems clean, I flip it and do a final rinse. It couldn't be simpler to clean, and I'm a guy!

There are 2 little pinch leavers in the sweeper head, when squeezes it pops open the dirt trap on bottom of sweeper, make sure it is over a trash can before opening!

You should be cleaning it everyday, and it shouldn't take to long to clean it. If you don't clean it every day it does get clogged and takes a long time to get it fully clean again. I always forget to clean it after I use it and it takes me a good half an hour to clean it. If you clean it everyday after use you shouldn't have a problem but do a full cleaning every once in a while to keep it up a running properly.

We've had ours for awhile now and have NOT had any issues with the lid getting clogged. Granted we never leave the unit with the lid in the downwards position. That may be something you should consider when using. Hope this helps.

This vacuum has three filters, any one of which can become clogged at any time, and two of which Dirt Devil no longer manufactures (so you must remove and clean them yourself). Vacuuming one room is good enough to clog two of the filters to the point the vacuum has no suction. Refer to your directions for where to find the filters, or take a sledgehammer to the worst vacuum ever made and find them that way.
