“Are the brushes rubber or bristles? What about cleaning; can the dust/dirt container be removed so it can be washed/rinsed? Can the filter be rinsed?”

The "brushes" on the E5 are soft rubber counter rotating brushes. There are no bristles. So far, they seem to work great. We have to large dogs, and they have not gotten clogged or tangled with hair at all. The dust bin can be rinsed out to clean it, but the removable filter cannot be washed. I just knock the dust out in the trash can and every couple weeks give it a good blast with canned air. So far, very pleased with the E5.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Low profile rubber which doesn’t get wrapped with my long hairs - they end up in bin. Older 400 series bristle roller brushes always required hair removal.. like the newer design much better and quieter too. Bin pops out easily and once the paper filter cartridge easily is removed the bin can be rinsed ( according to instructions; I have not yet needed to after only 2 uses so far). Little ?HEPA filter is corrugated paper and should not be water washed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The dirt container comes out very easily and can be cleaned in just a few seconds.
