It says to clean it out every six months but honestly, I just found this out right now in my research on it and I've never done it! I'll have to try that today and see if it suddenly works ten times better than it already does. I've never had it throw out any dust while vacuuming and it's very easy to empty. The cannister has a little trap door thingy that I just empty into the trash. When we bought ours we first vacuumed with our old cleaner and then ran the Dyson afterwards and we were completley grossed out. (We have three cats in addition to the rugrats.) Dysons are super pricey but I tell everyone who asks about it that it's totally worth it. Overstock.com sometimes has them for cheaper and they have free shipping a lot of the time.<br>Whew!

Considering the cost of this marvelous vacuum cleaner, I'd like to know how it stacks up on the following: How easy/difficult is it to empty the dirt out? Are there filters that need to be cleaned and replaced - like on my Hoover bagless that's collecting dust (not from use, but from sitting idle in the spare bedroom) because it throws out more dust than it picks up and because I can't figure out what to do with the various filters it requires. Not to mention the cost of replacing these filters - which is a lot more than the cost of vacuum cleaner bags; and the difficulty in finding the filters in stock.<br>Thanks. :)<br>Y.
