Looks like I have an argument to work on

OOps. I've had mine for a year. Guess I should clean it now.

The only thing I recommend is to check the brushes once in a while if anyone in the household has long hair.

I had to cut a lot of MY hair off from around the brushes, lol.

Me too.

A live person answered the phone and spent a long time on the phone talking me through how to fix the problem. I have not had any problems with it since then, nor has my sister that has the regular model.

I agree. Had the same noise and similar helpful customer service.



YOu guys have inspired me. Think I'll go clean my filter right now! Thanks Betsy.

You're welcome!

My instructions say to rinse it really good under the faucet and then to let it dry for a MINIMUM of 12 hours before reassembling.

Let us know how it works afterward!

Got mine as a Christmas present and I love it! It picks up cat hair like no other vacum I've ever had. I'll never use any other vacum again!
