I found that slow and steady wins the race with mine I paid 9 dollars for mine used and I love it and would not clean my floors with anything else now. |

I fixed up one of these for a gal at work. After disassembling most of the machine and removing the clear nozzle's top plate to clean out all the impacted dried dog hair, I found the suction loss problem to be a thin split in the vacuum line spiral hose in two places, at each end. Under the hood from all the constant flexing where the hose takes a tight 90 degree bend and exits the brush head body. The hose also gets a twisting torque applied to is as the vacuum body is rotated back and down in use. Second strain was at the top of the hose where it is clamped. Note that the hose has a small diameter nylon hose inside that carries the clean water down to the nozzle - the hose coupling is specially molded to let this nylon water line exit to the side. There was enough hose, once released from its clamp up top, to slice off the 1" split bottom end portion, re-fuse the hose to the molded connector, and re-clamp up top after allowing for enough slack to ease the strain. Works like a charm now. Dave |

Fred, that is precisely the problem -- the filter on the top of the dirty-water tank is gone. I'm going to stop by Boulevard Vacuum tomorrow and see if he can order a replacement for me. Thanks!! :) |
