A quick way to clean a vac filter is just switch the hose to the exhaust side ((after the vac is emptied)) and use the vac to blow the filter out. Not quite as good as compressed air or a blower, but works good to quickly get you back to the task at hand

That’s what I meant. The large sections can be taken apart to fit through tight areas, turns and smaller doorways

Other than a light snow, we are now going to get our 1st dumping starting right after noon tomorrow. 18″ with some rain mixed in that translates to HEAVY ! I also need to do my best to catch the AH neighbor next door to one of my properties that thinks it’s perfectly OK to shovel out a parking space and toss all the snow on my sidewalk

Don’t do that ! Unless you put them in a container so they can’t leech into the soil
