have charged it for 24 hrs as recommended but only running for 5 seconds any suggestions?

Worked great until the motor burned out. Never had charge problems because the motor didn't last very long.

My vac runs for 10-12 minutes. If I forget to plug it back in, it will not have any charge. I still like my little vac, because it does what I want, quick pickup in busy areas without dragging out the heavy house vac. I noticed there is a new cordless out with a much large battery. I would replace the battery, about $50.00.

Mine arrived charged and has operated without incident since I installed it. Sounds like you may have a charger issue.

Hi! Put it in the charger and when it is full the try it again. If it still was going on and of you better return the item.

You might need to replace it. Mine charged no problem. and I haven't had to recharge it in over a month. Yours may have a faulty battery.

Sounds like you got a bad battery. Mine goes on for about 2 hours. 20 minutes is unacceptable. As for a new one

Send it back as quick as possible. You've already had it work longer than mine ever did.

I only takes a couple of hours for mine to charge. Sounds like your charger or battery is faulty.

Hello, I just plugged the computer in with the new battery and let it charge for at least 24 hours. It works fine!

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.

Could be a dead battery. Mine would last about 20-25 seconds and then die. Fixed when I replaced the battery.

Sorry for your problem with the battery install. If the new battery is not defective, sounds like the main unit is defective. I obtained the batteries as a gift for my daughter. She installed the new batteries and selected the option of new batteries installed. Then left the unit in the home dock, charging overnight. Went from running less that 5 min to completing the whole area for approx 50 min never having to go home for a recharge. Runs like new again

Can not really answer you on that ine. I would probably either try another charging unit to see if that was the problem or else send it back, I did find that the batter life is not what I had hoped it would be as it seemed to last about 3 hours but not much longer. That was/is my one disappointment with the unit...Barbara

Only running for 10-15 seconds isn't normal. Check the batteries and the battery contacts in the battery box making sure the contacts are clean bright and shiny. If that doesn't fix the problem try a fresh set of batteries. If it still malfunctions, with the fresh batteries, return it.

I would give it another day to charge. After the unit has been fully charged (I think it can take up to 12 hours) it should turn blue. If it doesn't turn blue then change the charging cord and see if that makes a difference.

Yes charge it for a full 24 hours before your 1st use. It is in the owners manual or you can go online to the company website. It will work great after that. CheersRandall

My manual says to charge no more than 24 hrs, I normally charge it over night and it works fine.

My unit came charged out of the box, worked for a week and didnt even run out before I charged it overnight anyways. Aside from initial charge, which i didnt pay attention to how long it took, I have charged it from dead at night to full 7 hrs later when I woke up so definitely doesnt take 24 hrs to charge
