Since there are no bags, will the Vacuum cleaner get dirty inside? How hard is it to clean out?

It is very easy to take it apart and dump whatever mess is inside. The suction is extremely powerful. I love it.

Kevin, it is the dirt on the outside I am picking up I worry about. This thing is handy as pockets on a shirt and works very well. As long as you keep the filter clean I wouldn't worry about the rest of it!!!

Dirt accumulates in a removable bowl. You can wipe the bowl easily with a paper napkin or towel, or wash it if you want.

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.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up. Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

it doesn't come with vacuum bags. The vacuum is more like a ShopVac with air in and air out openings. I assume whatever it sucks in simply blows out the other end.

Yes only when picking up dry stuff (will pickup dirt without bags). When picking up wet you do not use the bag. I have used it without the bag for dry stuff and I just throw the dirt away and rinse it. Very good vacuum.

it uses no water to clean. it uses a wet pad and suction. the pad is much like a wet Swiffer. it can be used without the pad as a cordless vacuum the hardfloor does a very good job quickly either way. it has a relatively short battery life , but recharges in about 3 hours. there is no steam either. we enjoy ours.

It comes with an extra filter that you can clean anyway (we haven't had to yet). Also comes with a cleaning tool. No bags, just empty the tray after each use. Very easy. Hope this helps.

Not quite all. Apart from the lucid brilliance of the first answer, there's the fact that I'm finding for this sort of quick work, (28 bookcases) bag-less vacuums tend to pop open easier. Spilling all the crud you've vacuumed in 3 months all around you. Just another thing.

Hello Jim:The lid on the Dust Deputy snaps off. There is a second bucket inside the one bolted to the vac and you just lift it out. I guess you could put a bag inside, but you really don't need it.

Thanks for the info. We have 2 dogs and I'm worried that I'll have to change the bag once a week! It seemed like I was constantly dumping out the bagless one, a chore I really didn't like! I don't mind removing the bags, it's just that the cost of buying a lot of them can add up. We'll see how it goes - vacuum just arrived today!

Yes, it is a bottom dump cannister and the filter does have to be cleaned occasionally. I want to go back to a bag vacuum cleaner...not as messy!

I use a vacuum cleaner and it sucks every bit of air inside. The problem are the bags' valves. They don't keep the vacuum.

It is bagless. The vacuum does use a filter that accumulates debris and must be shaken out per use, and occasionally washed; but it is not a bag, and does not need to be replaced unless damaged.

Hi Mary, I have not had that Vac since sooo long, but, so far, so good, and a lot better, than a bagless vac! I have been trough several vacs, so far this one is the best. I love it, and I am vacuuming every 2nd day, because of our pet! It pics up debris a lot faster than any other vac.

I bought a Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B which I keep in my closet. It makes all of my Space Bags much more usable. (Previously, I ended up not sealing them back up.)

SUPER ..it will suck the heck out of bare floors, but remember that if you vacuum more than 1x a week, you will no doubt still have to invest in an additional filter as the vaccuum won't work right once the filter's clogged. I dry my filter by my wood stove; other wise it takes DAYS unless you live in the desert. Hope that helps.

No, there's no bag. You just push a button to unhook the bottom part of the unit, take out the filter that sits in there and dump it out. The filter gets stuck with pet hair and lint, I've thought about vacuuming it off with my upright but so far have just shaken it out into the trash.
