Features & Specs - Dirt Devil SD40000
Bag Denotes whether the model has a disposable bag. A growing number of vacuums, particularly upright models, use a container that can be emptied eliminating the bag. However, to capture the fine-dirt particles, these models must use a filter (such as a HEPA filter), which can need regular cleaning, or replacement. Replacement filters tend to be significantly more expensive than bags. While vacuums with bags may also use filters, the bag acts as a prefilter that helps to keep the fine-dirt filter cleaner thus extending its performance between cleaning or replacement. Another caveat: Emptying the dustbin and cleaning a filter can be messy, and handling it may expose you to dust and other allergens. Bag	No
Brush on/off This feature allows you to turn off the brush when using tools or cleaning bare floors, eliminating any hazard should the vacuum tip over while you have the hose extended. Brush on/off	No
Easy on/off A switch that's located on the handle or where your foot can activate it is more convenient than one on the body of the vacuum. Easy on/off	Yes
Manual-pile adjust Adjusts the height of the machine to a carpet's pile height to allow for easy movement and thorough cleaning. Adjustments are automatic on some models, but we prefer the manual control afforded by some models. Manual-pile adjust	No
