Can you turn the empty resevoir over on top of the unit to protect both from accumulating dirt dust and debris like the 20-30 year old ones?

I recently replaced a 25 year old model with new one. The design is identical. Resevoir when empty can be placed over the unit as a cover.

You can, but the pik is so hard to remove that I, with arthritis in my hands, can hardly remove it, so I leave it open and have a paper towel that I draped over the top of the reservoir wet and when it dries, it shapes to the top and dust/debris can't get in. I wish the pic came out easier - but we do what we have to do to make things work.

If you have a source of compressed air you can blow it clean. It's not really made to be taken apart and wiped clean.

There are eight screws along the back that allow you to open the unit. I personally have never opened the unit but the way it's designed I would say that a blast of canned air would be sufficient to clean it even with the casing still present.

Yes put the pile height on bare floor and the brush control on bare floor. The brush does not spin but the vac is still on.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Yes it is very easy and it seals up the spot when not in use, so you won't get dust through that point.

You can dust without taking off, but to really do it right (once every 6 months or so) you should take the cover off.

I think the ventilation holes are there to allow the heat to flow out. Since its underneath, I don't see how dust will build up too often.

If you mean as to clear some debris or to unblock, forget it. It's pressure is way low for it...It's a duster, nothing more.

Depends on how dusty the house is and how close to the floor the return air is mounted. I clean mine twice a year.

Top roller is fully supported from the right, left side is unobstructed expect for dust cover. Cover could be removed to allow contouring over the drum but you would fully expose the belt on both sides. And of course the dust collection would be non existent. Dust collection in general is poor on this machine. Good value, great tool to have.

you can only clean the outer liner that protects the active carbon as a dust filter.....as for the active carbon it is not intended to be serviced is my understanding.

Hi Marie, yes we do recommend vacuuming or dusting first. While this unit is great at picking up dust it will make the job a bit easier if you remove loose debris first.

The dust bin is transparent so you can see the debris inside it until emptied, which is easy to do. Once empty there can still be some dust and debris sticking to the surfaces inside of the bin, which is not easily accessible because it is attached to the unit. And there is no way to just flush it out with water.

Don't know why you would want to. Had mine for a long time, years, and never need to remove cover. If nothing get's in you don't need to clean it. But I'm sure you could. I'm not.

Yes i have one of these units . there is a plastic cover for the front of the unit which fits nicely and kind of hides the unit.

Yes. There are coverings that you have to open but are easy to open. When not in use the coverings protect the openings from dust and water.
