Has anyone taken the suction head apart for cleaning the fuzz that gets stuck along the side

I detached the head and started trying to pry off the clear plastic part on top, but I think it will crack so I stopped trying that. I ended up using a compressed air can. The straw fits pretty well into the slot and that blew larger chunks out the back. Then taking into a bucket of water and shaking it around took out some more, but it's really not a great design for cleaning.

I have the same issue and don't think the plastic can be removed. I'd love to hear if someone has a suggestion for cleaning this area out as well.

I can't clean it completely. Eventually I was able to rub the sticky off but it left a smudge mark :(

I believe just the base comes off. Not really necessary for it to come apart in order to clean it. Just give it a good wipe down is all it needs.

I know it unscrews just like a paint roller would. If it came off right @ the head of the mop I would suggest super glue. Whatever works huh?

I have textured paint on my baker's rack and the Microfiber Duster works fine on it, no problems with fuzz.

I've just grasped it firmly right next to the joins and pulled gently but firmly. I didn't pull hard but did do light tugging. I also will gently twist it while pulling it apart as that helps break any suction that might be holding it tight.

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

the whole head will come off. Pls check if you own the exact model. If it is not exact model you cannot use this.

I've found that you can adjust power of the suction using the lever valve. By doing so, you can create enough suction to remove the mulm but leave the finer media behind.

Not yet. Like any tool keep it clean. No problems so far but mine is only a few months old

We regularly clean out bits of fur and such. On the end with the output nozzle, the cap end comes off, from there the g shaped piece will pull off, you can use a pearing knife to help using a little force. From there the whie pump vane assembly can be pulled out. It's held in with a slight magnetic force, back together in reverse order of course. It's pretty easy.

No. That would result in failure of the pump. The suction accessory if meant to be used as a fume extractor and an SMD part pick up tool with the included attachment. You must buy a solder pump or wick to remove solder.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

all you have do is remove the clam shell off.. use clorex wipes on the blades.. and inside the clam shell to remove the dust.. too difficult to use vaccum cleaner.. .. I do it about every 2 months to keep it going.. it works great for me so far. Ok? oh by the way, I keep this fan in living room... not in garage.. hope this issues helps u guys to clean out..

I've always cleaned quite well it using the vacuum cleaner and the bristled head. I never tried to open it (I think it's not possible).

Gary, you don't need any tool to remove it from de the main vacuum. Just watch how it is grabbed, and try to take it out with your hands. That's the only way to fix it.
