When discussed, bag-full notifications/indicators (LEDs or on-screen alerts) are appreciated for reducing guesswork. Not every review mentions it, but those that do consider it helpful for hands-off ownership.
A bag-full indicator light on the dock is repeatedly mentioned as a helpful reminder to change the dust bag (and may also alert to airflow issues/obstructions per one reviewer).
The bag-full indicator is mentioned as a helpful cue for when to change bags and avoid overfilling. Some reviewers note it’s easy to read (often changing color) and supports consistent performance.
A bag-full/dust-full style indicator is mentioned on certain variants, helping signal when it’s time to change a bag or address capacity, but it’s not consistently referenced for all models.
A bag-full/level indicator is mentioned as a helpful convenience feature that reduces guesswork and prompts timely bag replacement to keep performance steady.
Bag/full status signaling is useful but can be confusing if not reset properly after changes, leading to premature prompts in at least one long-term user account.
Some users note the app provides reminders for replacing disposable bags, but there isn’t always a clear, foolproof ‘full’ sensor experience compared with docked self-empty systems.
Bag-full indication is a weak spot in reviewer expectations: some call out wanting clearer notifications or indicators for capacity-related events, especially given the premium price.
Notification support is limited in some reports: reviewers mention a lack of clear alerts for a full onboard bin, and low-water alerts for mopping can also be missing. Visual inspection of the bagless canister is often used instead.
Reviewers note there is no bag-full indicator, so you need to check bag fullness manually; some consider this the kind of feature Henry intentionally skips to stay simple and affordable.
