No surprise. Smells can stick around for a while. You could just replace the bag and then spray the inside of the vacuum with one of those odour removing sprays.
In that case it’s going to be about 1.5 € which still isn’t too expensive if it actually solves a problem. Anyway, leaving a vacuum running for hours is bad idea for different reasons.
When posting, I had to get some number from somewhere. I just found some random electricity provider and used the site to figure out roughly what they’re promising. In reality, buying electricity is pretty complicated and the pricing is a total mess. When in doubt, multiply that value with pi and you should be pretty close to what you actually end up paying IRL.
Extension cord. Sunny day. Let that shit run outside for 5 hours and see if you can blow it out?
5 h * 1 kW * 0.08 €/kWh = 0.40 €
Sounded like a terrible idea at first, but it’s not that expensive really.
I did the same calculation trying to remove cockroach musk from a vacuum cleaner! (It didn’t work.)

We had a bagless Dyson. We were cursed until we (moved out of the apartment complex infested with cockroaches and) upgraded to a Miele C1.
isn’t cockroach smell one of those things that only some people can detect, or am i completely misremembering?
0.08€/kWh only on a really sunny day, otherwise more like 0.3€.

Yes, I am marvelling at the 0.08€ and I’m wondering in what kind of electrical price paradise you’re living. Bit envious, honestly.
