emptying your bagless hoover is a monthly thing

[laurageordie]

I have to empty my bagless hoover every month. Gets full up of dust and Greg fluf.

My mum recons she only does this once or twice a year.

How often do you need to empty yours?

Every week! Hairy dog and cat!

All the time!

After every time I use it.

Every time I use it but we have a big house and 2 cats.

I have a little Dyson Animal, so it needs emptying about once a week or so. When I had a bigger hoover, it was probably about once a month.

Atleast once a week!

I empty it every time I use it. Small house but new carpet in one room.

After every use (daily, have a dog and a toddler). Hate putting it away with dust in it!

When I realise it's not hoovering properly anymore.

Every week. I see it as a good sign if the vacuum cleaner is picking up a lot of dust. If it isnt, then it isnt doing a good enough job.

Every evening. Small flat but messy kids and pet hair

For the whole house clean, it gets emptied every time it's used. The little handheld one really depends on what it's being used for.

Her vacuum cleaner must not work very well...

About once a month, I did have to wash the filter recently though, hadn't done it for a couple of years at least . It sucks much better now.

3 times a year

Eek now I think I've got a broken hoover! The bag is big and there is no one at home during the day

We have fortnightly rubbish collection so I time emptying to coincide with one of those , either fortnightly or monthly. Separate hoovers for upstairs and down.

Every time I use it. It gets clogged with dust otherwise. In the house we lived before, I only needed to empty it every few weeks. This must be a dustier house

After every use, or every other use.
We have a cat and 2 small boys.

Must remember to wash the filters more often tho.

Ours is emptied every time we use it too! It fills up really quickly, it's a Dyson upright thingamy.

Every time i do a full hoover round - i dont see how it would work otherwise - the cylinder gets full after about an hours worth in our house.

It gets emptied when we can see it's full - it's a Dyson so it's very clear. Probably about every 2 to 3 weeks

And your Aibu is...?

When I had a Dyson it was every 3 weeks or so. Now I have an upright it is every 3 months or so. I think the bags hold more and also the dust and dirt is compacted. The bag definitely feels very heavy compared to when I lifted the canister off the Dyson.

When its full, every week or so. Cleaning the filter makes a huge difference to suck power

Every time I use it...not that it NEEDS emptying that often (Dyson) but that way it is already ready to use, when I get it out...especially when I am in a rush !
