Well since I figure all of it has come from outside, might as well return it to where it came from...it's all biodegradable

Another thought
I watched the infomercial and they mentioned nothing about the hepa or the belt. Is the hepa washable or do it need replaced and if so, how often? Are they expensive? Thanks
And which council provide bags? I've never heard of that.
Thanks.

Ohhhh
sorry I wasn't paying attention to your location. LOL.
Although I don't need it since I have a Rainbow (that I LOVE) and my Epic 6500, I'm so wanting one of these for some reason! And that's very odd for me to even consider a bagless vacuum other than Rainbow.....but they do look really cool..As long as the hepa filters aren't outrageous and need to be changed a lot. I also read that the belts don't need to be changed either; they replace the entire head if it goes bad, not just the belt. As long as they do not let dirt escape while vacuuming. Although on one of those pics posted by the OP, I did seem to notice some dirt collecting on the outside of the vacuum...the one showing the back of the vacuum itself in the upright position. If you look closely it looks like dust on the wands themselves.

I think the Hepa is a lifetime filter. As for the belt i think it's covered in the 7 year warranty.
It's supposed to be a sealed unit so dust shouldn't escape. But Shark informercials are very misleading! Sharks by name and Sharks by nature!

Butb it is a very innovative vacuum. If they become available in the Uk i would be temted to buy one. We only have the older Rotator model currently.
Danorob1: Give us a progress report, please.
How is this Shark holding up? Anything new about it that you find you really really like or dislike?

I bought one of these two weeks ago after getting rid of my Dyson DC65 Complete...I use the tools a lot and trying to do that with a Dyson is a real hassle. I absolutely LOVE the Shark..especially since the powerhead still works when you lift off the main vacuum unit to get underneath chairs and coffee tables. The Dyson did a great job on carpeting but truthfully, the clearance was so poor that you couldn't reach under many items of furniture without using the wand and one of the two on-board tools...none of which are ideal if you need to vacuum a large amount of space underneath a kitchen table or other piece of furniture. I also really enjoy having the controls to the vacuum at my fingertips. The electric mini-powerhead is awesome on my sectional sofa that my dog covers in hair on a daily basis. My primary vacuum is still my central vac with Hide a Hose but I'm really enjoying this new Shark (never thought I'd say that about a Shark product)!

Good God
I had a 20 percent coupon at BB&B so I bought the Shark Rotator Professional lift-away (not the powered lift away).
Just as I feared, emptying the canister is a P A I N because it's not as simple as just holding it over the trash and dumping it, because fine dirt gets everywhere inside the canister and you have to shake, bang and tap causing more dust to fly. I hate the attachments. The dusting brush is a complete joke. The hose is stiff and you have to stand directly beside the vacuum or it will tip over. I decided I'm just using this to vacuum carpets and use my Rainbow to clean everything else. Additionally, I use my rainbow to suck the Shark canister clean because I don't like emptying it
On a positive note. It is light and easy to use vacuuming carpets. The suction is really good. That foam filter gets very dirty quickly. It says wash it every 3 months but I'm thinking once a month if not more often than that. You can wash the collection bin which is good.
All in all, it's good for carpets but for everything else it's terrible (at least in my opinion)... I'm trying to figure out how this thing gets the massive amounts of good reviews. This doesn't even come close to being the best vacuum I've ever used.
