I have a couple of these and they're my favorite handhelds. Yours really don't look all that bad. One of mine came to me stuffed with so much pet fur I think I could have knitted another dog out of it. All I've ever done to clean out the bags is to vacuum them out with a canister machine. That said, I run mine with the optional paper inner bags. The funny thing is I have to put the outer bag on the machine upside down with the paper bag in place. The cardboard collar prevents the outer bag from twisting into place in its normal orientation.

I got a nice one that I have never used. I don't want to get it filled with dirt. I might buy another to use around the house. I never use any of the vacs in my collection.

That's a beautiful example. If you were to use it, paper bag liners would be a must. But yeah, you can certainly find another one to use. They usually aren't terribly inexpensive, although the prices on eBay right now are nothing short of ridiculous.
I've got a blue one like yours, although mine has a guard in front of the switch, as well as an older one with a gray handle and cord and a red and gray bag. I got them both about five years ago and paid $3 for the blue one and $8 for the red and gray one. I just wish somebody made replacement brush rolls for them. |

I haven't seen mine in a while and just taking out to look at it I was surprised it wasn't the bag that I remembered at all.
