What is wrong with my vacuum cleaners?

Posted by admin
soulztar asked:


Every vacuum cleaner I have ever had starts smelling burned after 1 min.
of use. They barely pick up anything and I have to go over that spot 10 times.
In addition I have to clean the rollers EVERY time before vacuuming. What am
I doing wrong?

This happens with all my vacum cleaners, new or used.

      It can be anything, but if it happens to all of your vacuums then it’s probably something you are or are not doing.

      I would look at the above suggestions, like checking the belts to checking the height adjuster.

      Then, consider your vacuum. You have to change the bags, which do clog up. You should do this every 3 months if you vacuum weekly.

      It’s the belt, when it gets old, it does not rotate any more stays in one spot, and starts to burn, before it breaks a part
