My Dirt devil easylite is not every old but dog hair goes out of the cyclonic part and down in the filter and clogs it up when you turn it off why?

Sorry, No answer for you. I had one and it quit working after a couple months.

Same answer here, the default is off. I have mine attached to my shop vac, where it works great by the way.

Did you check the input hose connection - at the bottom brush intake and where the dirt goes into the canister? Other than that, I'm not sure what could be happening. Hope this helps.

I have the red Dirt Devil Featherlite vacuum. I use these filters. They work really well and they are much more economical to use.

Sometimes when hair or something floating through the air enters the machine, it will be zapped. With my dogs and cats, I had a hairy house and it happened too often for my noise sensitive Labrador. I have mine to my sister and bought new ones that didn't do this

The filter is like a very loose sponge, I have been using it for over a month and have not noticed anything in it. I think the better advice is to change the water more often and don't let gunky crud build up in your pets water in the first place.

On my unit when the filter plugged it just restricted air flow as the air is drawn thru the filter. It seems like there is a different problem if its blowing dust out into the room such as something not seated properly.

I really do not know- I suggest you look online -put the name and model f your Dirt Devil and it should come p and then you will know exactly whih filter to use. Also, your Dirt Devil should tell you somewhere on the inside what filter to use. hope this helps!!

Let me put it this way, my hair is down to my ...you know...and It picks it up. It gets wound around the roller brush because it is so long but it is simple to remove. When I vacuum my carpet and I pull out the filter to empty out what it picked up...I am amazed at how much pet hair was on the filter and it pulls off in one piece. I am so happy I bought the Eureka Easy Clean so I don't have to pull out the big vacuum anymore when I want to vacuum while the pets are shedding this time of year. Please keep in mind that I have a regular carpet, not shag, so I don't know how it works on that but I bet it would work just fine on that too!

The small dirt particles goes into the filter cartridge inside the filter like a real pool does. It works pretty well I think it is small, I have a 15' pool and it takes a while to vacuum it.

I would think things like dog hair would clog the reels-we always vacuum before cleaning to help remove the loose debris to prevent this but I havent used it on any heavy dog or pet hair-always vacuum first especially heavy piles-this a cleaner not a vacuum so vacuuming first is the key-hope that helps but havent had any issues and seems like different circumstances-have you contacted the manufacturer and followed their manual

A solution to the brushes not turning or the shaft breaking would be at the time of cleaning, be sure and remove any fuzzy ball that build up with cleaning. The inside of the brush housing gets carpet fuzz all over the inside along with fuzz on the brushes. AS you rinse this, it balls up and clogs the "gears" on the side of each brush. Be sure to fish these out and make sure the brushes turn freely as you clean. You made need forceps or tweezers to pull these fuzz balls out, but this is key to proper function

Hmm, maybe there is an issue with your unit. Mine (un-altered) blows really hard. My dog and wife are scared of it!

We own a DC07 for almost 4 years now. I clean the filter as instructed in the manual. However, this time I noticed some clogging in holes of the shroud instead the canister. Just a few simple and careful twists the shroud came off. I rinsed and all the holes are clean. Thinking of these holes being clogged and noticing some other fine dust inside the tubing, I wondered about the fine dust elsewhere. I used a T15 star bit and unscrewed the 3 screws on the top. 2 of the cyclones were clogged at the top. I said hhhmmmmm. I then went online to Dysons site and it is not recommended to rinse anything other than the canister and filter. Whatever, I rinsed the entire cyclone canister with luke warm water as there are no electrical parts in this area of the Dyson. A little water is heard in the cyclone area, so air drying is the only option. It is easy to disassemble and to reassemble. No need to take to a repair vac, they will tell you they do not like Dysons . They want you to trade them in though...and then I see they sell them as reconditioned...total scam. After the drying time of 24-48 hours, it performs just as it did when it was new. Total time of disassembling and cleaning the entire cyclone area, canister, filter and brush is under 30 minutes. Let dry and reassembly is under 15 minutes.

I don't know. I would go to the Dirt Devil website and check. There should be phone number listed if you would prefer to call. There is also a number on the cleaner but I think that is for the warranty center. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

I think it might be from the foam filter that needs cleaned out once in a while. Ours stopped picking up the other day and it was also from the foam filter,,,i cleaned it then it worked fine. Hope this helps some for ya!

Power can be dependent upon how dirty the filter is, if you have any air leaks or the actual electric motor itself. In my opinion, the first place to start is by replacing the filter, then check your hoses for leaks or obstructions. If the motor is bad, it usually just goes all at once. Good luck.
