Those convertibles could whoop a Dyson senseless in a cleaning competition, and with half the power and half the suction! You have a LOT to learn, you don't need all those big amps and strong suction to clean carpets! The convertible was never a strong candidate suction wise, but like I said, it didn't need strong suction!
But just in case- check your bag! Go ahead and change the paper bag (Type A for a Decade 800) and see if that doesn't help. |

Your bag will inflate more as the bag fills! This is due to when pores on any vacuum bag or filter get clogged with dirt, the air can't escape as fast so the bag inflates firmer. With fan blades in great condition and brush roll in great condition the machine should be in good shape!! Fan blades and fan chamber should be clean though!! Use Genuine Hoover Type A bags. The new HEPA style bags will work phenomenal!! I see the package of Genuine Hoover round belts, so great job on that!!
That's a great machine. With machine running on an area rug, you should notice the machine will lift up the carpet at the edges. It is working properly if it does that. Canister vacs and this will have very different hose suction!! |

That did the trick!! Now its leaving better grooming marks in the carpet and best of all when I hook up the tool adapter its holding my fingers to the inlet!! |
