Possible Causes

Worn or missing brush bristles, Brushroll not spinning at full speed, Incorrect floorhead height for carpet, Blocked floorhead air channels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and detach the floorhead.

Inspect the brushroll:

  • Check the bristles for wear; if they are very short or uneven, replace the brushroll.
  • Ensure the brushroll spins freely when turned by hand.

Clean the floorhead:

  • Remove any debris from the suction channel and around the brushroll housing.

Usage tips:

  • Use the correct power mode for carpets and move the floorhead slowly to allow the brushroll to agitate fibres.

If performance remains poor with a new brushroll and clean floorhead, check for overall suction loss elsewhere in the system.
