A:AnswerThere is a model that comes without the self emptying addition. I don't know if Best Buy sells that one.
I don't know why anyone would want that one. Part of the beauty of having a vacuum like this is that I don't have to empty the bag.
The self emptying version holds quite a bit before you need to replace it. They are quite expensive so I will empty the bag myself 2 or 3 times before I replace it. The vacuum bags are made well and they do last quite a while.
A:AnswerIf you go into the APP on the bottom of the page there should be a link with a troubleshooting guide.
If you continue to have problems contact the manufacturer. They will help you.
A:AnswerI have hard floors in the tv viewing area and had it vacuuming while watching with the family. Had to turn it up a little bit really not bad. It is louder on carpet as it kicks up the suction. But if you are in the house and it is working, it really is of no bother. Certainly not loud like a big vacuum.
A:AnswerMy s9+ worked flawlessly until my return period to Best Buy ran out (for me it was 45 days). I've had it now for 5 months. Now every time I run the vacuum I have to restart it several times during each run cycle. If you see error 31 get to the store for your refund. Its a recurring problem. For the price of this vacuum this should not be recurring problem.
