I have a Dyson..bagless. On occasion I take the canister apart and clean it --sometimes with a toothbrush. I do like the bagless vacs but do not like the fact that I have to take it apart to clean it.

I rinse out the filter with dish liquid and let dry about once a week. Less often I fill the canister with sudsy water and swish around. I wipe the base and wheels off after each use.

I always felt that the ones that used bags didn't contain the dust inside the bag only. Seemed to seep out into the interior of the vacuum itself. That's why I went with the canister models.

I take apart everything that can come apart.

There are quite a few parts in my upright.

There's also 2 filters.

I have a small, handheld canister Shop Vac, I've used it to vacuum out the nooks & crannies of my upright. I've never washed any parts. I don't want to have to wait for everything to dry or not dry properly.

I have a Dyson and a Bissell. both are uprights and have canisters that remove to empty them.

Both canisters, come apart by pushing a button. They can easily be cleaned out by wiping them or placing under the facet. Every so often I wash the filter and allow it to dry.

I will never go back to a vacuum that uses a bag. They are expensive and need replaced too often. I vacuum the first floor of my home very day...have two dogs and I like the fact that if I accidentally vac up something in error, I can get it out without tearing that bag all apart.

I have Dysons. I wash the permanent filters at least once a season. The inside of the dust bin I wipe out with a microfiber cloth or a duster. My husband will use the wet/dry vac about twice a year to clean out the the vacuum openings, etc but you can do the same thing with the dusting cloth. I have GSD's so we have dog hair, dirt, etc. This is what works for us.

I have the Shark Rocket. Every season I wash the filters w/soap & water & let them dry out overnight, wipe down the canaster inside & out w/a damp paper towel.

Never cleaned the brushes as nothing ever gets tangled up in there. All the dust bunnies ~~as well as hell~~ are sucked up into the canaster.

Cleaning process takes a total of no more than 20 minutes tops.
