My Hoover Turbo Cyclonic Doesn't Pick Up Very Much. What's Wrong?
I cleqn the canister regularly, adjust for pile length, and it still hardly picks up anything. Pieces of thread, lint, and paper tidbits to just lay there. We've been Hoover fans for years, but this machine just doesn't seem to perform. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

naw...something is preventing the suction ... make certain that the hose is not clogged. remove the hose from the machine, remove any attachment from the work end of the hose, look inside the hose for clog...insert broom handle if you have to. it is not the vac.....it's a clog somewhere.

your canister is not seated properly.
