Oh, definitely my vacuum cleaner. I have never changed the bag on that thing. And I dread the day that it will become necessary.

Can you clarify… when you say “changed” do you mean emptied or replaced?

You can empty the bag without throwing it away?? I always thought those bags were supposed to be tossed as they are when they’re full :o

… I’ve done neither haha

Well that’s terrifying.

My old vacuum bags were meant to be tossed, but I just emptied it and put it back because $.

Just to clarify something… having a full bag doesn’t mean it’ll explode in flames or anything like that (normally at least) - it just means your vacuum won’t vacuum… there’s no place for the dirt to go so the vacuum just lifts the dirt and spreads it across your floor.

You might as well just stop vacuuming.

There is very little to no suction when the bag is full. Have you ever checked if what you’re doing has any effect?
