What does this mean? -&gt; "Clean the dust container by placing the hose of another vacuum cleaner" - do I really need two vacuum cleaners?

Use another vacuum cleaner to clean the dust container (the cone shaped dust collector located inside the cup of the hand vacuum cleaner). The dust cup or container will have a large amount of dirt/dust on the outside and inside of this collector. See the directions for info re: the parts. It needs to be cleaned every time you use it. You'll be surprised by the amount of dust that collects there and if you don't clean it, you'll loose suction when you clean.

One powerful battery. You don't need a second battery unless you vacuum more than 20 min. at a time or forget to plug it into the charger which is provided. If you have a house full of carpet this vac is not for you. If you are just keeping the dirt at bay it is the bomb. I love mine.

I've had my vacuum for a number of years. I think it came with an extra filter. With all the dirt and dog hair that I pick up, it just kind of got clogged, even after I washed it. But I did use my filters for a pretty long time. So, I thought it was time to replace them with clean filters, but...well, you read my review, right? You should be able to use yours for quite a while.

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

No, it just means it's ready for a vacuum attachment. The air hose is connected through the 1/4" female pipe Thea's in the back of the unit. Proper air fittings is all you need.

Hi Jan. I would assume that, like every vacuum cleaner, something could be stuck (may be in the hose) preventing the water to be sucked up.

one guy said it has a rotating brush on the included nozzle head but others in comments said it doesn't have a powered brush roll head ! what gives here? are all these people buying a new or used vac and from different sellers, maybe don't all include same stuff? i wish people would say which one they bought, because unfortunately all are lumped together in these listings.

This vacuum has a bag which seems to trap lots of dust. The bag lifts in and out from the top and there is a tab that covers the top of the full bag so there is no spray of dust as you remove the full bag. There is a filter under the bag and also a paper HEPA filter on the side of the vacuum. On my vacuum, both of the filters are always totally clean, so I assume that everything is captured in the bag. I also know that there are three bag manufacturers - Eureka (sold at Bed, Bath, and Beyond), 3M Filtrete (sold at Lowes), and Arm and Hammer (sold at Walmart). I've used the Eureka Bags and the 3M Filtrete bags. I'm not sure if the Arm and Hammer bags trap dust as well. This vacuum has a bag which seems to trap lots of dust.

What is stupid is all the arguing here. Having two batteries is a great idea compared to having only one. M. Kinnamon, if you need more than the 50 minutes charge time for cleaning that these two batteries give you, then buy an extra battery, or a corded vacuum. Pretty simple.

Not sure but one of the vacuums was made to mount on the wall and the other can be flush-mounted into the wall.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

As one comment said, you can use the vacuum for the back filter and the front one you can rinse out. Thing is, when a filter gets really dirty, especially the HEPA like one, I like to put a replacement one in, even though supposedly they say its reusable yadda yadda yadda . . .

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

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.

I don't know. But I do know it was great to be able to order new attachments from Amazon. I ordered both the dusting brush and a new floor brush and am very pleased with them.

i just purchased this machine late sept. read my posting on amazon dated oct 1st. (Wolffe )yes u r right about the attachments being not proper.anyways. i found that it i very easy to get a i inchunion from a old vacuum from a local vacuum store and attach the old extension hose. i have 16ft of hose now . hope this helps. specially when vacuuming thecar. sorry ia had no reason to read your post until now.

That would suck! Actually, I think a vacuum could be attached in place of the dust collection bag. That would keep things nice an clean. It might be a bit awkward having a hose connected to the sander.
