The directions to say to vacuum the object afterwards, is this necessary? I'm imagining vacuuming plush toys . . .

No I think they only mean areas like rugs or upholstery. That's all I've done.

I have not vacuumed dog toys afterward and have had very good results. I have not vacuumed pillows and also have had very good results. I do vacuum floors and upholstery though. I also use it on my hepa filters. Works great thus far.

Ifelt like they are saying to vacuum afterwards because normally you do vacuum carpet and rugs when you use carpet fresh, etc. Maybe the vacuum helps pick up any loose dust. Although, I don't vacuum my puppy's plush toys.

I didn't use it on plush toys, but did use it on sofa and vacuumed. They have a detergent and I use that for the plush toys.

let it dry a bit and that use you hose with an attachment the toys should be ok- maybe even a little more plush ... hope this helps

Joan, the directions say to vacuum, but I bet in the case of plush toys, maybe a soft bristled brush or towel... Maybe do it outside.. I used it on a rocker, recliner, so I vacuumed and it did get rid of the problem with my nose......Maybe try doing nothing with them after they dry.

Not really. The paper bags tend to "spit" a little when you take them out just from the bag shifting and air coming out. If the stuff you're vacuuming up is that bad, you should be wearing a respirator as well regardless. Also, they do sell a different kind of bag for use when vacuuming toxic materials...it's basically the same brown paper bag but within a black plastic bag as well that then has a sealable mouth for proper disposal. I haven't used it before but I suspect you'll still have the same problem when removing/swapping it out. Best bet, get the plastic bag and wear a respirator as well. Good luck. Not really.

No problem..I only use the "seal only" feature..to seal my packaging (Not the vacuum). You dont need to turn anything off.. just follow the instructions placing the edge of the bag against the gold strip inside and press n seal! People that use the "vaccum" feature place the end of the bag inside the hollowed out portion inside which is a different place from where you do the "sealing".. The instructions will give you clarity and illustrations on how just to "seal" ( not vaccume).. Oh and to my delight.. this sealer will seal my own product bags so that youre not limited to just using the " seal o meal" bags! good luck!

My Roomba (Roombie, as I now call her) just finished a cleaning session and I'm able to inspect her closely as she recharges. My best guess is no, your cupboards' nether-regions will not be vacuumed. If they were an inch higher then my answer would change. How about you raise the cupboards with a few matchbooks under each leg? You'll love the way Roomba is drawn like a cat beneath anything she can find. It's a good way to ensure there's no monster under the bed too.

If you don't have the suction tube on there is a shaped attachment that takes it's place. Then take the straight tube and place it where the bag goes. This is how to go from vac to blower.

Some will inevitably get sucked up. It's not super fine sand but it will get stirred if you disturb it. Best way to vacuum would be to use a circling motion so you can pull surface debris upward without pulling too much sand.

Good Afternoon B.C., Simply by using it. It does however need to be cleaned 1st. Thank you, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop

Dude, dont ever run your roomba without doing an eyeball check of the area real quick. Thats a cleanup nightmare you dont want.

I used my old Rainbow wand(not the beater bar) with an attachment for cleaning hard floors. It did not fit snugly so I had used tape to keep the suction strong-worked well(but I am getting some kind of rubber gasket to make it easier). I am not sure of your purpose- to bring up the nap while using suction? This model is small but the power and suction is every bit as good as a Dyson(even a friend of mine with a Dyson said as much after using it), so maybe use the rake on the carpet first and then just vacuum as you usually would? It's a great little vacuum, just needs to be emptied sooner than larger models. I used my old Rainbow wand(not the beater bar) with an attachment for cleaning hard floors.

I net my pool before I place my vacuum in the pool I would suggest to try and remove all larger objects but this vacuum does a wonderful job totally love it !!!!!! Hope this helps.

You would have to have a vacuum with a blower function. Many shop-vac style vacuums have this, but regular floor sweepers often don't. If you do have one that has a blower function then you could probably duct tape the nose cone that comes with the air pump to the vacuum hose. The cone is removable and makes a roughly air tight connection to the inflation hole.

Without using the vacuum lid? I don't know, to be honest. Just be cautious using the vacuum.

We put it in a disposable cookie sheet to play with. I would think it would vacuum up pretty well. It's not sticky or anything so it would be like having sand in the floor.

Just hold your regular vacuum hose up to the bag's opening and voila, it sucks the air out of the bag. It's very easy and kind of fun.

Forward and reverse to apply solution (also vacuums/extracts), then a second pass for extraction only. Once I have finished the room I then do another round with hot water only as a rinse, but that is not required. Vacuum when dry with your regular vacuum cleaner. The results are outstanding.

Not needed though it does make for easy clean up .. .and speaking of keeping your toys clean. ALWAYS get a good toy cleaning product to keep the toy fresh, clean, and lasting a long time.

Yes, all you do is hit the center button (Stop/Seal) and insert the bag. It will just seal the bag and not apply the vacuum. Same procedure you use to create a bag. Remember the bags are on a continuous roll (You can buy pre-sealed bags, but the roll is better.), so you must seal one end of the bag. Once you fill the bag and insert it, the vacuum system will start, but to stop this, just hit the Stop/Seal button first then insert the bag. Now you have a sealed bag with no vacuum applied.
