dust from emptying? Also, about how much dirt can it hold before emptying?

Hey Rachel, The bag or bagless debate is all to popular. I think you'll find most people that buy bagless vacuums, will only buy them once. They usually return to a bagged model sooner or later. Bagless vacuums typically last no where near as long as bagged models. This is because bagless machines use a series of filters (some us the very expensive HEPA filter, like this Hoover canister) and as soon as those filters get dirty (the first time you vacuum) it creates so much strain on the motor, they usually burn up in 1-2 years. Go with a bagged model, you'll be much happier, and you won't have to breath ANY dust. There's really no good way to keep the dust out of the air, when emptying a bagless vacuum. Hope this helps.

2 that i bought barely picked up dust. I trashed both since i didn't want to pass garbage to somebody else. I bought 2 Dewalt 18v XRP vacuums for a similar price.They both work great and batteries last much longer.

without looking and measuring, I'd say about 3 inches. Frequency of emptying is directly proportional to how lazy you are with clearing your plate first - lol. I'd say it holds quite a bit before needing to dump - in fact the smell of rotting stuff gets to me usually before needing to dump it.

Yes it's pretty easy to empty out and it's plastic, so not very heavy. You can try to use thin trash bag liner to keep it cleaner, i didn't and so there was a lot of paper dust and particles stuck all over the place. I'm sure it's easy enough to rinse off if it bothered me enough, but it's been fine as is. Hope this helps. =)

This cannister is very easy to empty, but there is a technique. In order to contain any lose or fine dust, I hold the mouth of the trash bag around the opening of the cannister. When I shake or move the cannister around to loosen any debris, this keeps the dust inside the trash bag and out of my nose!

You empty it the same way you do the DC44 its predecessor. On the base there is a red tab that you push up and the lid on the base opens where the dust and dirt falls out. Hope this helps!

I honestly could not tell you. I installed this unit shortly before starting a remodelling project so any dust that it may allow out is negligable at this point.

I took my bin to the compost bin and came in and rinsed it. I was able to pour 3 quarts + 3 cups of water into it before it was running over. I usually empty it when it has about 3 quarts of the ground pre-compost material. It is great!

With my experience it will suck up the dirt.The suction seems to be powerful but it also depends on the size of your pump. I have a larger pump so it has powerful suction. If there are any larger pieces like very small rocks it might not get that (it might just push them out of the way) but as long as it is sand or dusty type dirt it should eventually get it all.

It holds about a gal I think. I empty mine often into my compost bin in the garden so the size isn't an issue to me. I just know it pre-composts at least 10 times faster than when I used to take the scraps out and dump them.

I use the clumping litter. I put a double good-quality trash bag in the bucket, then about 4" of litter in the bottom. This is enough for overnight and I empty it every morning. I generally just use this for night-time needs. I think about 6" would get you through 12 hours or so for one person. If you put more than that, it's going to be very heavy when you go to empty it.

Hello.If the area is small (below 40sqf) or not too dirty we do not sweep firstSo far this item is working OK with the dusty areas

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

I'd use compressed air to clean it rather than washing it, just need to remove any larger particles of dirt and grit that it may have picked up.

Not much , it actually works great , Have a cheap vac. with a Hepa filter and have worked with solid surface material for a month ....and opened the vacuum last week ..very little dust !

I don't have any issues with dust. Only if I have to add a lot of litter at one time which would happen with any color. I just wipe with a damp rag once a month and it's good.
