        At home I use a barrel/canister type vacuum cleaner that has bags. It’s not too old and is pretty decent but bags can get expensive.

        I’ve had this attachment for about a year and found it really good for cleaning up the bunny areas.

         

                   

         

         

        Its called a turbo dust filter but is also marketed as a bag saver. Basically, it’s a small canister that catches the bulky stuff. Only the ultra fine particles go on into the bag.  The bonus for bunny clean ups is the hay never goes on into the flexible part of the hose where it’s harder to remove.  Blockages do still happen in the straight pipe and where the attachment fits but that is simple to unclog. I only use a low level suction power for general pick up and it copes well.

        You just twist the clear container part to remove and empty so it’s quick and easy.

        Thought other members might be interested in this sort of thing to save their vacuum cleaners!

          That is super cool!

          I have a newer bagless upright vacuum, and every time I vacuum the house (which is done frequently and the house is NOT big by the way!), the container is super full! I guess that’s good, that means it hasn’t lost it’s “pick-up” quality yet. But I’ll still get the occasional hay piece lodged in there! We also have pine needles living in a wooded area, I swear those things are the bane of my existence!

            That is cool! Looked it up and it’s reasonably priced too. Not sure if it would work on my vacuum though – going to have to research that.

                That’s what I like about this, it turns my vac into a bagless one essentially. My vac is only a couple years old and is great for general cleans but I think it’d be well abused if I’d done bunny clean ups without this attachment.

                I got mine through a vacuum
                store, so the sales rep was able to give me the adaptor to make it fit my cleaner. It’s just a 1 1/2 inch piece of plastic pipe. There are several so it will fit diameter of different pipes.
