Like KevinH says, don't wait until the last minute. Clean up your dust immediately. And if new, future dust proves overly vacuum resistant... then consider moving to a new home (with older, more vacuumable dust)... but with all of your old belongings safely in tow.

My existing house is spotless - not a sign of dust anywhere. I'm just hoping that one day I don't pick up an artefact from the riverbank that is covered in any new dust - rendering it useless. In the meantime, my vacuum cleaner is working perfectly and thanks to all those who invented it and keep it in such pristine condition.

I was so confident after reading that my 4.8 vacuum was still able to pickup dust from the newest version of K4PC that I threw the old dusty version in the trash.

Thank you ever so much! Karma to you!

Sorry, I haven't been following this (very entertaining) thread. Just to be clear. Does the newest version of the vacuum cleaner fully clean all of the dust and lint from recently acquired K4PC carpets?

Yes, it does.

Does anyone know what changes K4PC 1.8.1 has over 1.8.0. I'm still on 1.8.0.

Thanks,
Carol

I'm not entirely sure. The multiple dictionary (for alternate languages) support comes to mind, but I could be wrong, though.

IIRC it was more of a bug fix than a feature fix. IAC, current vacuum works fine with cleaning up the critters.

I've got to set aside about four hours to sit down and go through this thread to make sure I know what I want !
I've been enjoying it so much I've kind of let the subject drift out of me brain a bit....

Thanks. If you upgraded to 1.8.1 I guess it's safe to do so.

I've just read this whole thread and couldn't find the exact question I've been wanting to ask. And I can't find an instruction manual for the vacuum that answers it. What I'm wondering is if I can convert from one type of dust to another. Or does this vacuum only remove dust as you're putting the dusty object onto something?

I'd like to convert to a different type, removing the dust in the process.

You must first dust your object, and then you may convert it into any other kind object you wish, confident that it won't get dusty again.

Of course, the place where you obtained your cleaner is also an excellent place to ask questions of a more explicit nature.

MSWallack · 11-09-2011, 04:05 PM

Calibre is very good for changing dust to lint or lint to dust. It can even help you keep track of all of the dust that you've cleaned.

DiapDealer · 11-09-2011, 04:48 PM

Calibre doesn't technically play a part in the dust removal/cleaning process at all. The 4.8v Alf Dustbuster just happens to have a calibre attachment, is all. A third-party, non-calibre-supported attachment, to be exact. The distinction is nit-picky, but important.

Modifying the object is easy if you are the right calibre of user.
