At home there is a child plus animals (2 dogs and a cat), six from the door mat cannot be removed with a large brush, and the carpet cannot really be vacuumed. Have to collect six small furniture brush. This greatly increases the cleaning time. And yes, the life hack told in the answers with adding water to the container saves the filter from such rapid contamination. Terribly disappointed with the purchase. A conventional bagless vacuum cleaner does a much better job.
