Does this HAVE to have a filter bag? My large Shop Vac doesn't. Also, does it run on battery power or corded?

No. This unit is cordless. The actual vaccuum part, when not in use, sits in a charging base that does have a cord and I always have that plugged in. The base is attached to a wall. When I'm done vaccuuming, I place the vaccuum piece back on the charging base, so there is full power next time I use it. Hope this helps.

Depends on the amps/watts of the filter and the size battery you get. I can run full size saws, Vacs, etc. Without any problem

Yes, it has a dust extraction port. I use a shop vac attached to it and it sucks the dust up quite nicely. It's a great feature that I couldn't live without.

A smaller shop vac would probably work fine, if you reduced the end of the hose for the vac to match the outlet for the dust bag. I do not think a large powerful vac would work as well as it would not draw enough air... but a smaller 5 gallon size should. Have not done this myself... I just take it outside and work there with a mask.

It comes with a bag filter but there is an option to replace the bag with micro filters similar to what you have in your AC systems. It's a a better filter hut will reduce the amount of waste that the robot will be able to collect

A regular vacuum works great. The shop vac hose will be too big in circumference.

Needs to be plugged in, In terms of noise as others responded it does get quite loud, It's about as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner.

Bag designed for leaves and larger items. A finer filter would reduce airflow. Best t use shop vac for dust.

Yes, vacuum is corded. Cord wraps up nicely around backside of vacuum. Cleaning out the canister is easy, but I use a small wire brush to brush of dust and debris stuck to filter..a bit messy. Do it over trash can.

Yes, the vacuum requires a 120VAC power source (plug). While that may be inconvenient for some, it provides a much better vacuum than a DC vacuum since it has more power.

Yes, it is a bottom dump cannister and the filter does have to be cleaned occasionally. I want to go back to a bag vacuum cleaner...not as messy!

This not a vacuum like a shop vac.. This is a saw dust collector. Unit works great. I have a number of tools that I plug this unit into.

No. This does not come with the vac. You can hook up to a vacuum cleaner that should be powerful.

I cannot answer this question, because at first I used the vac. quite a lot, and then I put it aside for months. I am using it again, but have not changed the bag yet. To be honest with you, I don't know when I will need to. I am hoping 'it' will let me know somehow. I am very happy with the product.

My vac runs for 10-12 minutes. If I forget to plug it back in, it will not have any charge. I still like my little vac, because it does what I want, quick pickup in busy areas without dragging out the heavy house vac. I noticed there is a new cordless out with a much large battery. I would replace the battery, about $50.00.

Has to be plugged in while using. You basically treat it like you would a vacuum cleaner, which takes some adjusting to in a yard.
