My vacuum seems to have lost power and the bag does not seem full. Have you encountered this? Does bag need to be changed very often?

I am assuming when you say it is loosing power you mean it is loosing its suction. I have not had that issue and the vacuum bag needs changing only when full. That depends upon the type of dirt or dust yiou are picking up and its quantity.Look in the manual for the description of ther small bag indicator on the vacuum.

No problem with power but self winding cord broke within 6 months. It spent months in repair shop because if it is not a certified repair shop Electrolux will not ship a part. They do not have any repair shops near me. Ridiculous policy.

Haven't encountered this problem. Our vacuum is working just fine. Might want to try cust. support.

Try to make sure that the bag is not anywhere by the sensor and make sure that nothing is blocking the lid from coming down all the way otherwise it would close and open back and stay open sometimes. If that does not help try to turn off the power and manually push the lid down it seemed to help.

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

Barry D. not sure we have just wrote to Worx about our bag ripping after 2 times so we shall see how they respond. Still love the idea we can vacuum up the leaves it has made life easier being electric. We see our neighbor with a Gas Blower & having to stop quite a bit to put more Gas in. Love the Trash Can attachment better then the smaller bag but will let you know what Worx says.

I purchased my Dust Buster hand vac about a year ago and now it will not hold a charge. I am looking into Manufacturer warranty (2 years) to see if they will fix/replace vacuum.

I haven't had that problem and I use my machine daily so I would say no, it's not normal. If it's not the outlet (do other appliances work using that same outlet?), the tank isn't empty, it sounds like the machine broke.

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.

Don't worry about the battery! Leave the Shark plugged in when you are not using it...run it til it slows or stops, them let in plugged in again for , well, plan to let it charge over night ! If it is still weak, plug it back in for 12 hours , Still weal ? Refer for service. Normally, the cbattery and charger last a long ( years ? ) time . A great vacuum!

The product must be the Kone vacuum as that is the product on this page. And... I am having the same problem. Could the battery be exhausted? I have had this vacuum for several years.

I had the same thing happen. I ended up plugging it in to a different outlet and then it worked just fine, but I did have to set the vacuuming schedule back up. Originally I thought it was the outlet, but had it checked out and it was working fine. Italy be worth a try for you.

I didn't keep the vacuum long, but the bags don't have very good filtration, so I'd say every 3-6 bags it would need a new filter. If you want a great bagged vacuum that doesn't require filter changes, get a Hoover Windtunnel Max and be sure to use their HEPA bags in it. I've had one for several years, and have only changed the filter once.

I have had the vacuum just over a year. The battery (on a full charge) now lasts only about 5 minutes - if that - before significantly powering down. I've been trying to find a replacement, but am not sure what kind to get.

I'd leave it in to protect the exhaust parts of the vacuum. When it's operating obviously there is air being drawn in and therefore exhausted. If you don't use the dust bag you are first putting a lot of very fine dust right back into the air and second not filtering the air going through the machine.

Must be. Like you, I had one for many many years and it did everything I needed and more. It finally died and went to vacuum heaven. I was going to buy this new version until I saw the reviews. Now I don't know what to do.

It sounds like you have a real problem with either the outlet or your vacuum. Try different outlet and if same result have qualified person check out your vacuum immediately.

Check with Q Industries customer service. I have found them be very responsive. I had to replace the air hose as it came apart after several years use. I wrote a review and in the review complained that the plastic catches on the bag broke when I was putting the compressor up after replacing the hose. They evidently read the review and sent me a new bag free of charge.

Sorry, I don't know what is wrong. My biggest problem was with the life of 3 batteries. The just didn't last long enough. Disposed of original then the 2 replacements are either not charging or won't hold the charge. I was really disappointed since we like the vacuum so well. Wish it could be converted to a cord. Good luck with it.
