filtering.That offers many profits:cleaner outlet air,less replacing of
filters and less dust in the appliance.The dustbag is more hygienic,
stronger (even when wet),contains 25% more dust than other
dustbags and guarantees that the suction power stays on a higher level,
even when the dustbag is getting fuller.The dustbag is even closable so
that if you replace the dustbag,no dust can escape.

becomes red,even when the nozzle is not placed on a surface.
