Where does the exhaust exit? Does exhaust kick up floor dust where you have not yet vacuumed?

As with most vacuums, it exhausts out the back, but because the hepatitis bag is cloth and passes through a filter there isn't the strong blow out you see from other vacuums. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so you can imagine the fur. I don't have any problem with it blowing around like tumble weeds.

It follows you around like a dog on a leash, so you've pretty much already vacuumed where the main unit's at. I haven't noticed it kicking up dust, but them I'm looking ahead, not behind.

The exhaust comes out of the top thru a rectangle measuring 7" x 1.75". My face seems to be 59" above the floor. I can feel it on my face in an area approximately 30 to 36" by maybe about 2 feet. If you look at the photo of the canister standing with the handle at the top, and call the handle the "top", the 36" spread of the air is from side to side. My experience is that feeling or breathing the exhaust is not unpleasant; however, I do not have allergies.

I have not noticed any dust coming out of the bag. This vacuum is the replacement for our old Eureka we used for over 30 years. It did not leak dust either, just got tired.

I'd leave it in to protect the exhaust parts of the vacuum. When it's operating obviously there is air being drawn in and therefore exhausted. If you don't use the dust bag you are first putting a lot of very fine dust right back into the air and second not filtering the air going through the machine.

Your pump was doing what it is supposed to do. A vacuum pump that is smoking out the exhaust means it is pulling out contaminates from the system (moisture and acid). That smoke is contamination. Every vacuum pump I have used in the past 32 years of being a proffessional refrigeration technitian spews some oil out the exhaust as well. Once the smoke is gone from the exhaust purge the system with dry nitrogen. Pull several vacuums this way and the smoke will disappear. Thats is when you know the sysem is clean of moisture and contamination.

Picks it up decently well - Turn it to the bare floor setting so that the brush isn't running, and it'll pick up most of it. I usually go over the bathroom with a broom and mop as well afterwards though, I like things sparkling clean! In the carpet it picks all the litter up.

You can't open it up and it does collect a lot of dust inside over time. I've found the easiest way to clean it is to use one of those canned air dusters and blast the dust loose through the back. Then turn the fan on high and clouds of dust will come out. Tip- do this outside or in your garage or all your furniture in the room will be covered in dust afterward.

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.

There is a sonicrafter accessory called a "Dust Extraction Adapter", that hooks up to a shop vac. My guess the adapter screws into the holes. The adapter didn't have very good reviews, so I passed on buying one.

The yellow portion rotates. You can have the exhaust set up to ground level to blow horizontally across the floor. We have 3 of these. You can plug them off of each other too.

No, this is pretty basic. But it does pick up an appalling amount of dust and pet hair, returns to the dock automatically, and avoids stairs and carpet fringe. It's running now, as a matter of fact. We're loving it, and are seriously considering buying another one or even two, as we have a large 3-level home.

Most of the dust comes from the back of the machine. I do not notice dust coming from the front

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

Good morning Fussy Deb, I put the black side toward the motor as it will catch all dust particle. I hope this helped you!
