How often do you find yourself changing out bags? Could you clean a full house a few times before changing?

Many times. I have used my vacuum 10 plus times and bag is half full (checked it today in fact). Of course different surfaces (hardwood, carpeted, etc.) make difference. I buy the bags from Amazon, 10 for less than $15.00.

Have had this nifty tool for 3-4 months. Have not had to change the bag yet. Frequency of bag changing depends on many use factors. I find it great for hard wood floors, stairs and is so light that it can be carried around to reach high places. It's named appropiately. Love it and worth the money.

yes, I clean my house once a week and change bags about every 4-5 months; I'd check how much is in the bag, if it's 50-60% full, I change.

I change the bag maybe every 3 to 5 months. i'm always pulling my vacuum cleaner out to clean up messes. i have all hard floors but a small house.

If you have dogs, you won't be able to do that. The dog hair fills the bag fast. I usually just empty the bag by pulling stuff out and use it again. I can't answer your question because I don't know.

This is a small vacuum and doesn't have a power head. It isn't suitable for whole house cleaning. This vaccum is great for stairs (of which I have many), car interiors, curtains and upholstery. I suppose if you've got all hardwood or tile floors, and only needed a vacuum for periferal things, you'd be okay. It's very lightweight and portable. I hope this helps.

My best guess would be yes but it depends onb a lot of things. Have had it 3-4 months and have not changed it yet. In spite of that, it's a great powerful little tool that is light enough to carry around and do floors, stairs, drapes, places high and low.

I have only wood floors. Have cleaned a lot of pet hair (short hair), several times and am still on 1st bag.

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.

I change mine every 2-3 years, depending how much you use it. I use it about once a month for the large kitchen area.

Not too much. I have had my dishwasher over s year and a half and have only used about a bag and a fourth of my second bag.

Depending on your biomass I think about once a month. I usually trade off between rinsing the sponges and replacing the carbon (PS to save money buy cartons on carbon and refillable bags). IF you miss a cleaning nothing too dramatic happens but it's good practice.

I've not had that problem, but i did clean a lot of lint from it. I turned it over and first cleaned the brushes. There was a lot if lintbehind them that i just pulled out with my fingers. You may need better bags too.

I've had my vacuum 1 1/2 years and I have changed it once. Some of the dust and dirt will come out if it is tapped on a hard surface. I do this each time I change the bag. We have 3 small indoor dogs. When I vacuumed the other day I noticed that dusty stale odor. Guess it's time to change it. But you should be able to see the dirt that won't shake out.

We clean out the leftovers (old maids, etc) with each batch but only do a thorough cleaning every 3-4 times we use it. Its kind of a pain to clean but we feel it's worth it.

I would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

I use them. I rinse and reuse until the bag tears. It's quite a few times. Possibly 10 times.

I leave mine on and in full time. I do take it out, turn off and clean weekly. In addition I take it out for the winter and store.

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!

I feel similarly GMA, and I wash ziplock bags all the time and reuse with no problem I turn the bag inside out to wash it and stand em up to let them dry. Perfect.

I dump as much of the solid out that I can by turning the bag inside out. Then, I rinse out the bag while it's inside out and I rub the bag together between my two hands, once it seems clean, I flip it and do a final rinse. It couldn't be simpler to clean, and I'm a guy!

I pretty good amount of time really because you can switch the shower bag off while soaping, washing hair etc. I took a shower, shampoo and conditioner, then my husband took a shower and there was still about 1/3rd of the bag left. Hope that helps.

I bought replacements w the vacuum but I haven't had to use them yet. Instead when I go to empty the vacuum, I also clean out the filter (I use gloves and a face mask, I def wouldn't do it without those things).Otherwise, I'd probably switch it out every month or so (I use it to vacuum my studio).

We have 3 cats, and it's enough, but we must empty the dirty litter 2 or 3 times a week. One Litter Robot might be enough for you, but be prepared to empty it every day, which simply involves opening the drawer, taking out the bag with the used litter, replacing a fresh bag, and adding some clean litter to the LR. Still, you'll enjoy the advantage of not smelling the litter box, and not scooping. Also, you don't need to use their bags - shop around.
