I sucked up fallen leaves, mud, sand, masks, and plastic without mercy.
After that, I wondered what the inside looked like… so I checked with an endoscope (*´з`)
I can see wear and tear on the body around the fan.
You can see white spots in various places.
When sand or stones get sucked in, they make loud sounds like “Bang!” and “Crash!” as they’re collected.
I think they’re getting caught by the fan and “pinballed” inside.
This is proof of heavy use!
Is it better to avoid sucking up mud (muddy fallen leaves) as much as possible?
Well, I don’t care so I suck it up anyway, but if you want to keep it clean, “fallen leaves” only is better.
When you suck up mud, the rotation drops slightly and dust becomes intense, making the unit look “stressed.”
The strain is significant, and overdoing it is risky.

Mud has stuck to the wall.
Since it can’t be washed with water, you have to poke it with something.
Or you could try sucking soft media-like materials in a cycle to clean it.
The back of the fan is pretty bad…
The mud is rock hard (；∀；)…
I need to think about this before it gets worse.
The grinding blade seems to be fine.
The fan has no cracks or chips, but it’s become surprisingly rough.
It’s a consumable part to some extent, so it can’t be helped.
After using this dust collector, the things it struggles with are
・Mud-like materials (heavy, water-containing, sticky things)
・Branches (can’t be crushed, can’t be sucked)
・Plastic (resin-based)
From experience, it’s best to avoid these.
Mud puts significant strain on the motor. Branches and resin materials make the sound really sad.
I think it’s best to use it mainly with “fallen leaves and dried leaves.”
