Here’s a simple method for removing and cleaning this filter..

Check for Tube Blockages.Another common issue is that a tube or hose in the vacuum can become blocked.. All it takes is for a twig, hair clump, or larger item to get stuck in the tube, then.

incoming debris will start to build a barrier that quickly increases in size.Blockages can also be caused by sucking up debris when the vacuum is already full.This type of suction loss will increase gradually as the clogging gets worse..

If you can’t work out what’s causing your vacuum’s suction loss, take the time to check the vacuum hose, wand, tube leading into the dust canister, and anywhere else where there might be a hidden blockage.You may need a torch and a pair of tweezers to remove the debris..

Sometimes blockages are deep inside the hose.

If this is the case, detach the hose from the vacuum, hold it straight, and shine a torch through it.It did manage bigger debris without dropping any bits back out, however, which is quite a feat for a compact cleaner.

Of course, the small nozzle does limit how large a job it can handle, so don’t expect to clean a whole floor with it.. A downside is that we found that it struggled to clean carpets.It was ineffective at picking up dust and other debris when using the main nozzle, but immediately stuck to the carpet fibres when using the crevice tool.

You’ll need to use the softer brush for carpets – and even then the performance was poor.The good news is that it performed much better on hard floors and other hard surfaces..
