Hi, you might want to unscrew the bottom to see if it is clogged but first I would remove the hose and check there. I have had little objects get caught there and it would loose suction. I have 2 of these and have had the one for 5 years now and love them both. Hope this helps

Check both filters. Maybe they are dirty. Might be a partial clog inside System somewhere. Check for partial clog where the bag is connected.

as with any vacuum, the intake tube can get clogged, the manual show how to clean out.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

I would check the bag first to be sure it isn't at capacity and needs to be changed, after 6 months it may need to be changed. If that isn't it I would check in the inlet area to see if anything was sucked in that is now blocking it. I have had no problems with suction problems at all. The first bag I found needed to be changed earlier than the next bag I guess because my old vac wasn't working as well any more so when I initially started using the Miele the first bag got filled a lot faster than I expected. Good luck.

The first thing I would do is check to see if the bag is full. Secondly I would check to see if anything was clogging the hoseAnd if neither of those work I would take the vacuum to a place where they repair Mieles for a complete check up.

The suction hose works great. After having this vacuum a few months, I'm not as thrilled by it. I think it should be picking up better. Sometimes the dirt basket is full and other times it doesn't pick up much at all. Probably the operator.

I haven't had any problem with mine losing suction. It has been on my dash since October and has not come loose. Sorry..

I am sorry, I never had any issue with mine.. Did you make use of the black disc they had provided to stick to the dashboard, because that is very strong and provides greater suction.

The suction is not as strong. For that reason I could not give it five stars.

With my experience with this vacuum, the handle was never strong enough no matter what I did. Check to see if it is clogged at the bottom if the hose where it connects to the bottom of the vacuum (near the bristles). Mine always clogged there.

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.

I would guess that if our attachments ever became loose, I would first see if I could address why....put a rubber band or something around the neck of the loose piece or maybe even duct tape. We haven't tried other brand attachments, but most on our regular vacuums are interchangeable. Sorry I cannot help you more!

I've had mine for about 4 months and have never had this problem with it. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I'd suggest contacting Hoover to get it replaced.

The suction driven hose attachment flew apart in my wife's hand about the 3rd time she used it. That thing really gets to spinning fast. Hoover did replace itand even called later to ask more about it's demise. No problems with the replacement or the vacuum overall. We like bagged vacuums over the non-bagged ones

Mine barely made it 6mths and I haven't gotten any response from the warranty office. The vacuum I received came w/ one of the wheels off. Even that didn't seem to bother Hoover. I would recommend you do everything you can to buy from a store that will take this crappy vacuum back should you experience similar issues.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

Yes, I've started having problems with mine after 7 months. I thought it may be the filter but they said not. They sent me three parts I have to try to replace and see if that works. It seems like the don't want to give out new filters. My suction is fine for about 5 minutes and you can see the diffence. There are no clogs but the motor overheats and shuts down. I'll see what the parts do but I don't thing they are the problem.

I have the same problem. All this vacuum is good for is touch up cleaning. Not powerful enough for anything else.

try opening all parts possible and also make sure the filter is CLEAN . Also, should not be to full of hair on the botton, keeping it clean helps the motor to last longer .

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?
