I received the Clean Station as a promotional item when I purchased my vacuum cleaner.  I had no idea what a "clean station" was but once I received it and figured out how to use it, I couldn't believe how useful it was!  You simply take the canister from your vacuum and place it in the Clean Station and it's a DUSTLESS removal of all the dirt!  Incredible!!!  This is a genius idea and especially helpful to those with any type of allergies or airborne sensitivities!
