I have a hoover bagless vacuum. Over time it has lost suction. I have cleaned the filter in the chamber next to where all the debris is collected and nothing is stuck underneath it. I don't know much about the mechanical workings of a vacuum and don't want to start tinkering if I don't know what's wrong.
Have you had this problem? How did you fix it?
I also have a lot of pet hair in my home and live in a dusty climate. Could this be part of my problem?
For the love of Tivo and Popeye's chicken, please help me!

you very easily could have a broken belt or a clog, either is very likely. even bagless cleaners have belts that keep the moving parts moving properly, and if they're not, your suction will go down dramatically. you should have someone look at it though that knows what they're doing. good luck!

I'm on my third vacuum in 8 years. Sometimes they just lose suction, die and there's nothing you can do about it. I have 5 cats and each time I vacuum I have to dump the container at least twice. I also have to stick my hand up in there and pull down huge clumps of cat hair that get tangled around the filter area. If you've tried everything it may just be time for another vacuum (annoying). I currently have the Bissell 'PowerForce' Upright Bagless and it's the best one I've used yet. I saw online that Wal-Mart has them for only $50. I know that eventually it will die like all my other vacuums but it's been great so far...

initially i think of they're on the subject of a similar, yet in very short order the filter out on the bagless gets clogged and then they don't look to be almost incredibly much as good, the filters are intense priced. With the bag you may get a sparkling effective gadget via skill of fixing your bag. I certainly have not tried a Dyson. Had Kirby, Hoover, Kenmore and Oreck. i like the Kenmore and the Oreck the desirable yet i've got confidence the Oreck replace into not extremely certainly worth the money it value vs the decrease value of the Kenmore. What i do unlike on the subject of the baggage is how basic that's to lose or throw away something effective. i replace into vacuuming under a fabric wardrobe and sucked up my anniversary ring as quickly as. With the bagless I observed it in there and rescued it. possibilities are high with a bag i'd have by no skill prevalent and particular concept somebody stole it or invariably questioned what happened to it. considering that then I take my bags outdoors and empty them right into a bathtub for a rapid sorting in the previous I toss them. that's gross yet I certainly have rescued a pair ear earrings, funds, little covers for battery booths, incredibly some hardware and so on.

The fact that is has lost suction gradually indicates a blockage, most likely a huge hairball, in the suction path from the beater-bar compartment. If you can disassemble it yourself, it should be easy to find. If not, take it to a Hoover service center.
Rmoving the belt cover is usually a user friendly job, and there are instructions in the manual. Take the cover off, and look in the throat of the suction line at the back of the unit.

if it is anything like mine was , it is destined for the trash dump...i only wish i had researched this vacuum before i bought it and the one year warranty was up...come to find out it is junk, it constantly clogged as it gets used over time(little over a year old and it was clogging)......consumer reports recommended Eureka as the best at the time..i wish i had known this and taken their advice before i bought this piece of junk several years ago
i now own a Eureka and i love it ....great suction on the edges near walls too when i vacuum...i will never buy another Hoover again
P.S. i also have alot of pet hair and dust, i live in Texas, worst place for dust i have ever lived so far

2 places to look for a blockage
check by the beater bar thats the brush part and the other one is the hose if you have the attachment pieces

Say, that reminds me, what's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?
Answer, the position of the dirtbag, :>)

Remove the hose, likely that you have a hairball stuck in the there.
