Bagless vacuums - why/how/etc?

[5705]

OK - I have a bagless vacuum cleaner. It does its job well enough, but how on earth are you supposed to empty out the bagless-end capsule?

For the second time (I forgot how bad it was the first time) I've just coated myself - and a freshly washed car just downwind - in a layer of my own dead skin?

Is there a knack?

On our dyson the bins comes off, you then lower this into the wheelie bin - pull the lid down over your arm.

Press the buttom which opens the dyson bin - all the rubbish falls out , quick bang on the side of the wheelie bin to make sure.

Whip your arm out quickly and then shut the lid, easy peasy.


Emptying the ash pan out the fire, thats a different story!

FFS. Can you tie your own shoelaces?

Mine isn't as clever as a Dyson! Maybe this is the price I pay for being cheap on the bagless front.

Panasonic here. Just invert over the bin and enough hair and fur to make another cat falls out.

The PITA is the filters - when brushing doesn't work, they go in the bath and get blasted with the shower every so often, then dried in the airing cupboard.

That is why I purchased an Henry and stopped using the Dyson.
