Does this device make it easy to empty the can, or do you still have to wrestle the plastic bag out the top?

There is a video that shows all the features, it may be helpful to watch. I love this can thought it was a little pricey but so far it feels worth it.

There is an inner plastic can, so you can just take out the whole inner can to get the plastic bag out.

It has a can liner that can be pulled out, but merely needs to be pulled up a little and sits up making removing bag easy.

I don't find removing the bag difficult. There is plastic insert inside the trash bin fits snugly, however, so the bag sits tight. There are two little indentations where you use to lift this insert and remove the bag. This trash can is terrific!

It's very easy and lifts right out. I use a plastic grocery bag as a liner and take it out every day. I have a bigger pail that I use for recycling. This door mounted pail is small, about the size volume of a plastic grocery bag. However I find it to be perfect for wet garbage, and things that won't recycle. I take it out to a dumpster in my condo complex after dinner mostly every day and am pleased not to have the garbage in the kitchen over night.

Yes, it easily lifts out by sliding a fingernail under the rim and lifting. Then just slap it a few times against the inside of your trash can and most debris will be knocked out of the strainer.

Yes, it ejects it in the black container on the left of the picture above. I usually add a plastic bag to make for easier clean up. I hope this helps!

I would not call it a "pull out" basket. The bin is a separate piece from the shredder. The shredding unit sits on top of the bin, and will not operate unless it is firmly in place. To empty the bin you have to lift the shredder off the top. It is quite top-heavy, and a bit cumbersome, and it's hard not to get tiny shreds of paper all over. I think this is pretty standard for shredders like this in general. I usually unplug it and take the whole thing into the garage to empty it. In fact, I put the whole thing bin and all into a plastic garbage bag before I separate the two parts, so the confetti is contained in the bag.

I think it is pretty easy, the main container fits in your hand leaving other hand free to wipe clean and dry. I use it every other day to shred carrots for my dog food.

yes, that's the way I use it. You can buy "shredder bags" or just smaller ones in general. It still makes a mess when you take the bag out though. :)

Hey Norma! The canister is very easy to empty. All you do is push a button to release it and when you have it directly over a trash can or trash bag, you just ope n the bottem and the gunk falls out. (don't do like I did and open it over your foot) With arthritis, though, I do believe the carry around canister would be a little heavy. The vacuum itself is very easy to manuever, especially with the swivel feature. I truly love this vacuum, but like I said, the detachable carry around canister would probably be a problem for you. I hope I was of some help and don't hesitate to ask other questions if you need to. Hey Norma! The canister is very easy to empty.

Yes it is an easy device to use, use the pump and fill the bag with air. There's a little bead that you can push to seal the pipe so air doesn't escape. Unscrew the silver valve near the pump to allow air to escape, but the manufacturers suggest you let the air out slowly and keep your neck in while it deflates. Dont apply pressure to it to speed up the deflation process as it can damage the product.

Easy to remove top; just two snap latches on either side. I put the entire base inside a large (44 gal. type) garbage bag... the latches are on top and grab onto the lip of base....for daily cleaning flip latches - lift off lid. Weekly, when time to toss used litter, I peel bag from around base so that what was "outside of bag" (lining the base interior) is now inside.. tie and toss.

No, it is very easy to remove the bag; just remember to disconnect the hose from the vacuum first!

The holder is designed to take bags out one or two at a time. While I do t think it would take long to pull out all bags, it is not designed to empty all at the same time.

Its so easy! You lift this lever that is in the front of the vacuum, and that lifts the lid to where the bag is kept. Using the Amazon picture as a reference, this lever is on the top, just across from where the hose attaches to the body.

The lid/shredding mechanism has to be removed to empty the basket. Not difficult to remove and replace. Unit has proven to be very reliable.

Cleanup is generally easy -- the liner lifts out with the bag in it, so you can position it better for taking the bag out. I've never had a bag rip. The lid has a smooth bottom surface that is easy to clean, though it has a tendency to fall into the bag if you let the lid slam closed.

The lift away canister for the dirt sits simply on the main body and can be quickly pulled off with the touch of a button. There is a latch that secures it to the main system that it fits into easily and taking it off and on is simple enough that my 11 y/o child was able to empty and replace it without issue.
