I am still getting the hang of having and using this clean station but so far so good. Once the canister is full place it on the station and it will suck out all the dirt, dust, hair and whatever mess it picked up and leave the canister as good as new. Make sure to clean the dustbin thoroughly with water and dry it before use. It's size is perfect because it doesn't take much space and you place it next to the vac for easy access to it. Once the dust bag is full it will indicate you when to replace it. The instructions are easy to understand so you'll be able to do it as required. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially if you suffer from allergies. This is great and will eliminate it without compromising your health.
