so last week I was expirencing problems with my fantom fury. there was very weak suction and little to no dirt going into the container. tonight I sat on my floor and took it apart because I was curious to what the problem was. it was the motor. the dirt had gotten into the fan and clogged it. hair, dust and other forms of debris were cleaned out and back together she went the machine has great suction and now I am getting dirt in the container. thank you to those who pointed me in the direction of the problem
