it sucks the dirt and put them to filtering system, does it mean filters will need to be cleaned more often than if you use cleaner with bag?

Yes, it goes directly to your filtering system. It doesn't pick up big stuff like leaves though. We clean our filters only every few weeks.

I don't find that to be an issue but I regularly clean/replace my filters.It does a decent job and covers the whole pool but it just takes a lot of time.

l live in the desert and I have had this cleaner for since April 2014 and I have not had added work in cleaning the filters. Great sweeper and cheap too.

I'm not sure about cleaning the filters more often cause I recently bought new ones, but I have noticed that I'm having to back wash more often since I've put this vacuum in

I just take out the little filter bag and shake it over the trash or use a whisk broom to get it cleaner. I've had mine for over a year, and I haven't needed a new filter yet.

This vacuum has a bag which seems to trap lots of dust. The bag lifts in and out from the top and there is a tab that covers the top of the full bag so there is no spray of dust as you remove the full bag. There is a filter under the bag and also a paper HEPA filter on the side of the vacuum. On my vacuum, both of the filters are always totally clean, so I assume that everything is captured in the bag. I also know that there are three bag manufacturers - Eureka (sold at Bed, Bath, and Beyond), 3M Filtrete (sold at Lowes), and Arm and Hammer (sold at Walmart). I've used the Eureka Bags and the 3M Filtrete bags. I'm not sure if the Arm and Hammer bags trap dust as well. This vacuum has a bag which seems to trap lots of dust.

The filter resembles a cloth bag. Big dirt collects in the bag, while fine dirt appears to embed in the fabric of the bag itself (versus being distributed back in the pool). Both are easy to rinse with a hose. Bag is also machine washable.

My wife requested that we go back to a bagged version of sweeper as she found there was a lot more work involved in dumping loose dust that went everywhere, and cleaning filters, sponges, bins etc. On this sweeper the bag is also the filtration unit and you change it when the light comes on. We have had ours about 4 months and so far the bag has not needed changing. This bag is the easiest that I have ever installed (it has a very unique loading mechanism), as well as a air freshener that installs below the bag if you wish. My wife also wanted a light machine as she has trouble with her arthritis, and this unit filled that wish as well. The reason for the light weight as well as the good suction is a new technology of motor that is utilized. The only negative that we have noted so far is that you do not have any attachments that can be used on these units, so you might need to consider that before you purchase it. Hope this helps.

Depends on how dusty the conditions are.It's best to clean them after each use.Order washable filters from Amazon and be done with it.

I'm not really understanding what that means though it seems you would not want to leave the paper on a filter. My suggestion would be to look on line for the manual- usually they are easily downloadable. Also, I would suggest replacing it in the same fashion as the old one you took out. If you are talking about the bag itself, leave it exactly as it is. You could also can a Miele dealer to ask the question. They are always quite helpful. You're bettr off being careful and not ruining the machine- they are wonderful and can last many years. Mine is currently going on 15!

No. U just spin the handle at the top of the filter a few times and it turns flappers inside the filter that clean it out. It's a great dust collector. Btw buy the jet remote switch for it also. It makes it so much more convenient.

I think what it does is funnel the crunchy debris/dirt into the vacuum part - or somewhere that the vac can suck it up. Update on The Bailey (my name for the Neato) I can't imagine keeping up with the dogs/cats/dust/dirt without this guy. Even running it every day, I have to clean the filter in the middle of a run.

Hi Eliyah. I can't tell if this is a known issue, however, it doesn't surprise me that some dust would go through the bag. It is intended to blow and vacuum leaves rather than dust, generally. In order for the vacuuming to work, the air must go somewhere. In this case, it passes through the bag, which is somewhat porous, and acts like a kind of filter. Very fine dust particles will pass through the weaving of the bag. I personally thought it did a pretty good job of mulching up my leaves and depositing them in the bag. There was some dust that passed through, but I kind of expected that. Try it on some leaves and small foliage and see what you think. Hi Eliyah.

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.

According to the owners manual, both filters need to be replaced after approximately 20 dust bags have been used. The manual also says that the micro-hygiene filter can be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged. I've only had my vacuum a few months and haven't had to replace a bag yet.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

The bag attaches tightly air blows out the bag it's self so if you are in a lot of dirt it blows dust out the bag. there is a long hose and can to catch that looks better to use then the bag. I'm going to look into that set up for mine.

it's like a vacuum. the hose connects to either the hole in your skimmer or like our pool we have a special spot for it to connect to. then at your pump you have a part that unscrews with a basket in it that you dump when it gets a lot of leaves in it..the filters will clean out the dirt

I think it is relative to replacing the filter. In mine, the filter and bag are one piece, so if you order a new filter, I believe a new bag will be attached.

It stirs the dirt up and sucks it through a fabric filter. I find that some particulates get through. The filters come in various capabilities so get the finest available, 2 microns.
