The HEPA filter should be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on usage. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain optimal filtration efficiency.

2. What type of maintenance is required for this vacuum cleaner?

  • Dust Bag Replacement: The vacuum uses a large dust bag, and it should be replaced when it’s about 2/3 full to maintain suction power.

  • Filter Replacement: HEPA filters should be replaced regularly (every 6-12 months).

3. Is this vacuum suitable for pet hair?

Yes, the Eureka Sanitaire SC5815 is effective at picking up pet hair, thanks to its powerful suction and brush roller. However, you may need to check and clean the brush roller more frequently to prevent hair build-up.

4. Can I use this vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, the SC5815 can be used on hardwood floors, but make sure to adjust the height setting to the lowest level to avoid scratching the floor. However, it might be a bit too powerful for delicate hardwoods, so extra caution is advised.
