Dewr Customers:
We had a few customers this week come in with the same issue: “My vacuum’s not sucking like it used to!” If that sounds familiar, don’t worry—you’re not alone, and it’s usually fixable without replacing the whole machine.
Here are the top 3 reasons your vacuum might be underperforming:
-
Clogged Filters:
Over time, filters fill with dust and debris, especially if you forget to clean or replace them regularly. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making your vacuum weak. We recommend checking your filters once a month. -
Blocked Hoses or Brush Rolls:
Hoses and brush rolls often get tangled with hair, strings, or even small socks (yes, we’ve seen it). Make sure everything spins freely and nothing’s jammed inside. -
Full Dust Bin or Bag:
Sounds basic, but it happens more than you’d think. A full dust bin/bag can reduce performance dramatically. Empty it often—even if it’s not all the way full.
Quick Tip of the Day:
If your vacuum smells a bit off (burnt or musty), sprinkle a teaspoon of baking soda inside the dustbin or bag. It helps neutralize odors and keeps your machine smelling fresh.
