A:AnswerMy living room is 14.5' x 34' and my dining room is 16' x16'. I have a combination of hardwood floors and carpeting. I can vacuum the entire first floor without filling the cup. If I do the first floor and all five bedrooms on the second floor, that will fill the cup. A lot also depends on how much dirt gets tracked into your home. If you have an entryway where a lot of leaves get blown in, then yes, you might have to empty more frequently.
A:AnswerHi Bets,
That's a good question indeed. At this present moment, there is 3 different configuration of this unit on the market. They are as follows: the model HV300 series (which is the category this one falls under) that is also the oldest version of this unit from the three models and the lightest one weighting about 8 lbs compared to 9-10bls for the other two, the model HV320 series (which is an upgrade) and lastly the latest version which is the HV380 series. The main differences between this specific unit you are inquiring about (model HV301) compared to the 2 others (except the weight and accessories) is that this unit doesn't have the dual-brushroll technology, on board accessory storage and LED lights on the floor nozzle. This unit HV301 and the HV320 series are also a bit less powerful (500W and 4.2A) than the latest version the HV380 series (600W and 5A). Finally to answer to the second part of your question, yes you can remove the power head and use the extension wand to dust off the ceiling corners and fans with any of these units. Please also keep in mind that the accessories that come with each unit determine the price point as well as the unit itself. Hope this information was useful. Thank you

A:AnswerI would first check the bottom of the rollers to c if there is stuff around them. Maybe wash the filter sponges out to see if they picked up too much dirt & let them air dry. Hope it solves the problem.
A:AnswerIt can do curtains with the attachments that are included, but it would also depend on how fragile the curtains are. It a vacuum, use common sense.

A:AnswerDon't have an exact number, but I'd guess almost equivalent to a floor fan on the highest setting. With the carpet/upholstery attachment, add like 20dB to that
