FAQs

I have a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner that I bought several years ago. I had to replace the belt on it and now I can’t get the bottom plate off to replace the belt again. What do I do?****

The bottom plate is held on by a series of tabs. You must release these tabs to remove the plate. There is no easy way to do this. The best way is to use a flathead screwdriver and place it under one of the tabs and pry up on it. This will release one of the tabs, but you will have to repeat this for each tab until all are released. Once you have done this, the bottom plate should come off with ease.

How do I clean my Dirt Devil vacuum?****

First, turn off your machine and unplug it from the wall outlet. Then remove any attachments from your machine and empty out any dirt or debris from your machine’s collection bin. Next, you can use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down your machine’s exterior, but be sure not to let any water get inside of your machine as this could damage your electrical components. After you have wiped down your machine’s exterior, you can then use a vacuum hose attachment or brush attachment to clean out any dirt or debris that may be stuck in hard- to-reach places within your machine’s interior.

How often do you need to clean a bagless vacuum?****

How Often to Clean a Bagless Vacuum. Give your bagless vacuum a thorough cleaning every six months, or more frequently if you’re a member of the frequent vacuumer club (having shedding pets automatically makes you a member!).

Does a bagless vacuum need a filter?****

Bagless vacuums can save you money because you don’t have to buy replacement bags. But like bagged vacuums, they have filters that need periodic cleaning or—for HEPA filters—replacing, probably more often than with a bagged vacuum.

Why is the bagless vacuum cleaner important?****

Convenience – One of the most obvious reasons to choose a bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner is that it is much easier to manage. You don’t need to think about buying spare bags – ever! See your dirt – It is much easier to see when the cylinder needs emptying if you don’t have a bag inside your vacuum.

Are bagless vacuums safe?****

Bagless Vacuums are Not Hygienic and Diminish Filtration, Suction and Cleaning Performance – Without bags to hold nearly all the captured dirt, the microfilters on bagless vacuums quickly clog from excessive dirt build-up and must be replaced often or a loss of suction and cleaning effectiveness will occur.

Do bagless vacuums spread dust?****

Every time you empty a bagless vacuum cleaner, it releases a significant quantity of dust and allergens back into the air. As bagless vacuum cleaners need to be emptied frequently, this can pose a real hazard for allergic and asthmatic individuals.

Are bagless vacuums better for allergies?****

Better for allergies – Bagged vacuum cleaners are much better for allergy sufferers because there is no risk of this nasty bacteria getting released back into the air when you empty it. If you or your family suffer from pollen, dust or pet allergies, we highly recommend a bagged vacuum cleaner.

Are bagless vacuums better for the environment?****

Compared to its bagged counterpart, a bagless vacuum cleaner is easily the more environmentally friendly option. Bagged vacuums can use hundreds of bags over their lifetime, but with a bagless model, you won’t be throwing anything superfluous away along with your dust and dirt.

What are the disadvantages of a bagless vacuum cleaner?****

Some consumers find bagless vacuum cleaners to be heavy-maintenance because they require removing and washing the filter now and then. That also makes them time-consuming because you may have to clean the cup frequently than you’d need to replace bags in bagged models.

What is different about a bagless vacuum cleaner?****

A bagged vacuum cleaner works in the traditional way of using a replaceable bag as a filter to trap dirt while allowing air to flow through the bag. Bags must be replaced when they are full. Bagless vacuum cleaners use filters to trap dirt and debris in a dirt cup or chamber that can then be emptied.

How can I make my bagless vacuum smell better?****

Place a dryer sheet into the dust bag of your vacuum cleaner before cleaning to improve the fragrance of the vacuum cleaner itself. In addition, you may use some orange peel or a few drops of essential oil on a piece of paper towel to remove the odor.
