I've never had the light go off. I change my bags often because of the smell when you run the vacuum if you don't. I also pour essential oils on a tissue and stick it in the bag before I run it to help kill germs and bad odors so I don't need to change as often, plus the aromatherapy is great. I don't have a filthy house, but for some reason the dirt just smells through the bag and vacuum. I had a kirby for 20 yrs and never had this problem, even with keeping the same bag for 6 mos. I change the bags in my Sebo every 2-3 months, and I hardly use the machine since it is my secondary vacuum. The essential oils definitely help. I've never had the light go off.

Since this is a top fill bag, you can usually wait until the bag full indicator is about ¾ over in the window before changing it. For most end users this will be almost full because of the compactness of the dirt. What the manual is referring to is changing the bag before it is full if the contents are mostly dirt, sand or other heavy materials. With this type of debris, little or no air can flow thru it or around it to allow good suction. If the contents of the bag is mostly dust, cat or dog hair, feathers or other lighter stuff that air can move through very easily, you can pack that bag until it is overfull and still maintain good suction. Hope this clears that up for you. Since this is a top fill bag, you can usually wait until the bag full indicator is about ¾ over in the window before changing it.

Hi.I have been using mine for a week now.The twisting mechanism to switch the light on and off if comfortably stiff. It stays off in my pockets. You may want to check if the rubber "O" rings are intact or have fallen off by mistake. I believe they might help in keeping the twisting mechanism comfortably tight.

I'm sorry this has happened, but unfortunately it is not fixable, or at least it wasn't a year ago. I had a previous one that had this same problem and I tried to get it fixed but was told by customer service at Deni that it was not repairable which is why I bought a new one. The previous one was about 6 yrs old so it wasn't an entirely unexpected problem; since I knew it wouldn't last forever. Occasionally, the bag wouldn't sort of "stick" to the wire after sealing and I attributed that to the problem, so now I hold the wire down with a finger before I lift the bag. This is probably something they should add to their instructions.

You have a automatic and manual mode. In auto mode, when the bag is placed properly, press automatic, give a little push on the lid, and the approximately 24 inches of vacuum, with the heating precess does the job for you. With manual mode, same precess except you press "Pump", when it reaches the vacuum you want, press "Seal", and you're done. You also can set the seal time, depending on what you are doing, with 4 heat zones on that. Good examples are on YouTube, which is what I did myself before purchasing. Just type in the machine model number and make and take you pick. Very good information on YouTube. Hopes this helps you decide. There are lots of models to choose from, and I would definitely get this one model. Also, go the company site, there are plenty video examples to view.

My bags are about 4 years old however I doubt much has changed. One of the bags has a handle to carry it with . The other does not. Guess they figured if you were using it for commuting you would just use one bag.

I turn it off when it is my bag, but if you are leaving it sit somewhere it will turn itself off without the switch.

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.

Great question. The light I use is blocked by this back, so I attach the light on the side of the bar near the shifters on the mountain bike bar, this is awkward but works. There is some sort of attachment that goes on the top of the bag but I cannot use it for the light. The light is actually strapped on part of the grip. It's a very good bag though this is a major issue.

Absolutely! I've changed the contents many times. They're made of much thicker material than a food storage type baggie. You open the bag, put in your items, seal it, in the middle of the bag there is a plastic cap you open, you attach a vacuum hose and suck out all of the air. Some have said their bags leak, there is a slider to close it, but I always manually press my hand along, pressing the edges together to make sure it's sealed tight. I haven't had one let go yet.

Good idea to change out every month & 1/2 or so, as recommended. I peeked inside and wow, it sure picks up a lot right away! The vacuum suction is only as good as the air flow is able to go in and out, so better to change the bag more frequently & not have it clog up where the air is forced out where ever it can go like out the seals, and around the filters. Why bagless get real dirty on the outside as the air is forced out around the seals. It is not hard to pop off the cover and slice the tab over and pull out the bag.

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

Mine lined up just fine, so I think there may be an issue with your lid not being on properly. I never had the problem with the lid not lining up when I replaced the bags. I would contact the manufacturer about the issue, or talk to a person where you bought it. Hope I helped. Thanks!

I personally do not find it difficult to replace. If you cannot close it then you have the bag refill upside down. Turn it around and work it that way. The bag will be overflowing from the top not the bottom going down.

I don't think you will have to move your lights back, my ex wife rides a Honda 1100vtc, and her lights look to be about like the ones on your bike. I think at most you would have to set the bags at a lower height. The bags have a leather piece that goes under the seat that adjusts the height. Since the bags are slanted, they are just below her lights.The saddle bag supports will be whatever supports fit your bike. The bags come with tie downs to tie them to the bag supports. The supports are just standard u shape.

No the light does not bother them...I usually change them every other season due to wear...they are easy to change using an air gun to put them on...there are you tube videos that are awesome for doing almost anything. As far as the fading bags goes there are sprays to bring them back to black and UV protect-ants that will keep them that way... I hound some @ Gander mountain and other sporting goods store near the waterproofing.

There's a clamp that allows you to mount to the seat post which works well. This also allows you to adjust the angle on the light. The light also has a clip on it so that if you have one of those seat bags, you can just clip it to the bag.

Agree with other comment (except its QTY 6 to a bag). When your done using it just leave the tip on, it seals itself & when your ready to use it again, just throw THAT tip away & put on another.
