Does anyone else have a problem emptying the canister?

Yes. I've found it somewhat difficult to unlatch at times... But for a myriad of other reasons, I just use my Shark Navigator instead. I really hate my Dyson at this point.
789101
Yes! In fact, I can't make it work now. Am going to go on their site and see what help they can be...did you get this resolved?

If you are referring to the clogged debris getting trapped up inside the canister, it is often difficult to empty. I usually have to knock the opened canister against my garbage can numerous times hoping it will eventually come free.
789103
Not at all. Click the button above the canister to remove it, push the button on the canister to empty it. What kind of problem do you have?
789104
Yes, we have LOTS of dog hair to pick up and it sort of clogs the canister and keep is from dumping. I have to use my hand to drag it out. Not a big deal, but a deal....

Yes! I too have a problem with emptying the canister. Reason being is we have long (human) hair in the household, so it gets wrapped around the center column in the dustbin. So when I goto empty out the canister, it's all well wrapped with all the other fluff in there. I often need to remove the clear cylindrical housing in addition to opening the 'bottom door' and then use my hands to free everything up. But I don't mind doing this since at least I don't have to buy and throw away bags. I always perform the emptying outside and hold my breath. Kinda sucks, but I still love my Dyson cuz it sucks in other ways :) Yes! I too have a problem with emptying the canister.

The bottle just snaps in, but I have the same problem. I thought my canister was empty but it's just the machine. In fact I don't even use it anymore. I wish I had bought it locally so I could return it. ..

It has something to do with the way the reserve is reset in the unit. My husband fills it with a pitcher and has not had any further trouble

I empty mine after each use. I have had no trouble with clogging or removing it from stick. I use it daily and have had for few months.

I have not discovered a way to tell. I usually just let it run out and hook up a new one. I do not start with a new canister every time.

I have not collected enough to try to empty it . I have another filtration in line with this. It looks like you could stand it on end and drain it if necessary.

I haven't had a problem at all with that. Container stays closed until you pop it open over the waste basket.

screw the horn down on the canister. make sure it is tight but not overly tight. if just air comes out then tighten it more. you can buy replacement canisters. just unscrew the used one and screw on a new one

I would ensure that the paddle is firmly attached. Also check the position of the top of the canister. It has two grooves on either side. Check the position. I hope this works.

I don't have this problem, so I can't help you. I empty the bottle immediately after each ride and leave the top off until I fill it again. I also never close the valve, since the bottle sits upright in my bike rack holder.

I have not experienced that problem, but I do use filtered water when filling it. Try that. :)

It could be clogged...did you check all pathways? I've honestly never had that problem. It's similar to a vacuum, so I'd imagine it gets gunked up.

I haven't had that issue at all. I always empty the rest of the ice out of the chamber. Sorry I can't be of more help. I also use mine almost every day.

Yes. My canister falls off frequently and I cannot keep the handle in place no matter how hard I try.

Have the same problem, too, but I just have one of those plastic grocery bags underneath (after taking the canister out, of course) and most just falls into the bag! That's the only filter I remove because it's washable & only know of 1 other filter, the hepa filter, but have never changed it... :o(

The floor tool needs to be lowered to the lowest level. Make sure it has auction to the wand. Sometimes the canister becomes unmatched and not seated properly
