Cecotec Poor Floor Contact / Worn Brush Bristles

Vacuum leaves visible lines of debris and does not pick up well from carpets.

Possible Causes

Brushroll bristles worn down, Floor head wheels jammed or uneven, Incorrect height for carpet type (on adjustable heads), Soft roller contaminated with hair and fibers

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the floor head.

Step 1 – Inspect bristles: Check the length and stiffness of the brush bristles. If they are very short or frayed, replace the brushroll.
Step 2 – Clean wheels and rollers: Remove hair from wheels and any secondary rollers so the head sits flat on the floor.
Step 3 – Use correct mode: Ensure the vacuum is in the recommended power mode for carpets (often Turbo).

Replacing a worn brushroll significantly improves pickup performance on carpets.
