Solution
A couple of things to consider if your vacuum loses suction power are:
- Dust container might be full. Check and empty the dust container and clean the filter.
- Filters/nose cone might be dirty or missing. Clean or wash the filters and put them back. You may also change or replace the filters. If need to replace and buy new filters, you may visit or contact support for available options.

- Air channel/cyclon may also be blocked. Try removing the dust container and check the air channel and air inlet in the dust container to see if something is stuck.
- Floor nozzle might also be blocked. Remove the floor nozzle and check if something is stuck in the nozzle/brush roll. For cleaning of brush roll, you may refer to your use and care manual.
- If your vacuum's nozzle does not pick up dust or dirt as expected, make sure to use correct nozzle for each floor type. (Hard floor - bristle nozzle, fluffy nozzle. Carpet - bristle nozzle)
- Nozzle brush or fluffy roll can be blocked with hair and dirt. Remove floor nozzle and clean brush roll according to instruction manual
- Tube and/or nozzle neck can be blocked. Check if any clogging happened in nozzle/tube.
