So the cleaning station definitely keeps the dust level down when cleaning the Samsung Vac stick dustbin. When inserting the dustbin into the cleaning station it takes 10-15 seconds to suck the contents out and clean the dustbin. With dog hair I would say I have to shake the container prior to putting the vacuum dustbin in the station for cleaning. Dog hair has a tendency to get hung up if I don't! Once the bag in the cleaning station is full the blue led on the front of the station turns red it does! The cleaning station is a convenient idea. Works amazing to ckean the dustbin to keep it freah for future use. Suck it does! Absolutely sucks everything out of the dustbin!!!
