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.
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.
