Yes, my wonderful tristar with the Eurkea VG3 PN (which i use way more than the original cxl power nozzle {"turbo brush"} ) has failed me :-(

So i went to shampoo my room with my G3. I vacuumed very throughly with my dads Eureka Capture Plus Pet Lovers Bagless POS (cRapture as i call it) and then shampooed. After letting the dry foam set for 10 mins i ran over it again without the suds flowing out (using the fluffer thingy to work in the suds) afer letting the floor dry, i vacuumed again with the cRapture and to by shock there was quite a bit of sand and shit in the container :-O (shocked), i almost died.

Why did i use the cRapture? Because it's bagless so i can see what comes up and if i suck up water, it won't hurt it (much) :-p

Your vacuum is working just fine

Shampooing always loosens embedded dirt from deep in the carpet it is normal to pickup more dirt after shampooing.I recommend shampooing carpet twice a year.

You'd be amazing at what can be stick in carpeting, especially if you only vacuum 3 times a week. I vacuum my entire house at least twice a day, and I shampoo the entire house once a month. After vacuuming when I am finished, it pulls out a lot of dirt, because the shampooer does loosen it. It is completely normal
