My Bissell Powerforce Will Not Suction Properly.

My Bissell PowerForce vaccum will not suction properly. It seems to be "clogged up" with just typical household dust and dirt. No matter how much I try to clean it out, I can not get it to work properly.

If you are getting a reoccurring clog, you may have something caught in the hose.  The best way to eliminate this is to thoroughly clean out the clog, not just remove it, but remove the source.  Sometimes pine tree needles or other sharp objects will embed in the wall of the hose and cause a clog.  You can remove the clog, but until you remove what is causing it, it will probably come back.  Below is a convenient video to assist you:  http://www.bissell.com/how-to-videos/clean-filters-hoses/?cid=ccsocial
