The bag plays an important role in protecting the filter and motor from all the dirt that’s sucked up.. Never use a Henry without a bag.

Vacuum motors need continuous airflow to remain cool.If the filters are blocked, or the bag/canister is overfilled, the motor may overheat.

This can cause a burning smell or even smoke..Always empty your vacuum before it reaches maximum capacity.This ensures it’s running effectively and reduces the chance of a burning smell.. You should also check the manual to find out if your filters are washable.

If they are, then you’ll be able to run them under cold water to remove dirt and grime (make sure they dry for at least 24 hours before re-inserting them though!)If the filters aren’t washable, you may need to buy new ones..

Black+Decker Pivot.The Shark’s filtration system does an acceptable job at preventing dust and dirt from escaping, although it’s not the most effective or hygienic we’ve tested.. There’s no HEPA filter with the Shark Handvac, which is disappointing for a pet vacuum.
