I just got this and can't lift out the dust-bin. HELP

Once you push the tab to open the plastic access door it should lift right out with no problem. Nothing holds it in place but gravity, there are no clips or tabs keeping the dust bin inside.

Thumb in back. two fingers at the front, lift straight up. It snaps in place and snaps out easily after you do it a time or two.

I just mashed the button on top take off cover and pull out clear plastic bin. Hope yours works better than mine!

Push the button on top and remove the lid. You should be able to pull the collector right up out of there.

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

probably the mini fan from the back of the system is full of dust, dust it off with a vacuum hose very carefully it might work. good luck.

The floor tool needs to be lowered to the lowest level. Make sure it has auction to the wand. Sometimes the canister becomes unmatched and not seated properly

Hold it upside down shake it, to let debris fall out, blow all over it with compressed air, make sure the batteries are good. That's about all I would know to try

The release button on the handle (Just above the power switch) will release the vacuum attachment. Reverse the process for installing the blower attachment.ps. Make sure the vacuum bag is on tight or your laundry will suffer, and the dust cloud could get the E.P.A's attention.

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

I just had the same problem. GRRRR What did you end up doing to get it open?

I have to ask, what are you doing with it currently where it doesn't have suction power? what do you have hooked up to it?

The remote is bad. Sounds like its making constant contact somewhere. I would take it apart and blow all dust out from the inside then put it back together. If that doesnt help get a new remote.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

I'm thinking you pulled it out way past the red mark on the cord and broke it. I did that to my vacuum cord, I had to put a pinch clothes pin on that. Sorry.

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

First try a tiny bit of oil or WD-40.If it's somehow welded shut or won't move at all, return it for a new one.It's supposed to open a few inches, as in the picture, not all the way.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

Very gently grab the broken propeller from the middle near the spindle and pull straight up. There is nothing holding the propellers other than friction, but you still have to be careful not to damage the motor.
