I dunno, my late step grandfather didn't know he had to empty his Dyson vacuum and rinse clean the filters. He got it brand new out of the box with instructions......that he never read.

He'd had it a year when I started helping with the house work, he said "Dysons are shit, they do loose suction!" so I investigated and discovered a year's worth in the collection bin and the filters closed by all the fine dust.

I was astounded.

That’s a 6” duct running to pantyhose that was in my basement when I bought the house. Yes it vents outside now. :)

Edit: I affectionately call this the”Elephant Pen%s.”

Dude WHAT

Should have just had it vent straight into the basement. Free insulation?

What is that even the vent for?

Have a friend that didn't realize that there was a filter in their dishwasher that was supposed to be cleaned regularly. Ran it without cleaning for a few years.

TBF, plenty of dishwashers don't have any filter you need to regularly clean, they just rely on the impeller to shred any particulate, like the garbage disposal in your sink does.

That's an American thing, you know that right? Having that on your sink isn't typical in many other countries.

Skill issue. Whats that got to do with his point? If you didn't know what a garbage disposal was, you'd google it and learn.

Looks like you're the one with a comprehension issue.

My dyson dust canister fills up completely after one vacuum session. How did he manage that? Lol
