There may be something in the tube. Take it apart and check. If not, call the store. Im a customer

You will have to call the store

Should have been in the package. Call the retailer if its not there.

Hi Cass, there is a little opening on the back of the canister in the black part. See how you go!

Mine did also once and I just took it out and cleaned it. It had hair etc wrapped around the spool. I also noticed if the brush is clogged the machine does not work properly, cutting off all the time so it is important to keep the brush clean. Now I clean mine after each use.

It may be the spinning brush head. Ours started doing this but worked fine with all the other attachments. We thought maybe it was shorting out, and we cleaned out every piece of hair etc that may stop it turning. It turned out to be dust in the connectors. A can of compressed air saved us putting it in for repair for between 7-14 days.

I'd take it straight back to where you bought it from. Have you got a solid red light when you plug in the charging lead? Have you inadvertently disconnected the battery by pressing the button underneath?

Haven't timed it exactly - never used it till the battery runs out. But you can keep it on charge - we did so accidentally for a week, and there was no problem.

@cpalace Thanks for your reply. :)

Fully charged if no charge at all 4 hrs .

Yes. Has a straight corner attachment and a dusting brush attachment. Both of which can be hung on the vacuum holder.

Note there is an attachment in the current Godfrey's sale advert on TV where they are using it on a sofa. This piece did not come with mine. Just the skirting board piece and another piece with a brush which you could use for curtains or sofas even.

JZ66 take the brush head off of the brush tool by pushing the grey button, you will then magically have the sofa cleaning tool in your hand.

Hi Ellen it's best you email Hoover directly for this information - that way you're getting correct details.

Judging from my bathroom scales, the motor with stick and head weigh between 1 to 2 kg. It certainly feels that light and easy to carry around. That along with having a small power head makes it convenient to vacuum even my stairs as easily as i do the floor.

Sorry I have never timed how long one charge lasts, I just use it when I need it and charge it when it is flat. As far as comparison to Dyson, no idea, I have never used one.

I didn't look at the Dysons because they were too expensive for my budget. I haven't timed. mine when using either I'm just happy with it. I would not consider it to be a vaccum for a main house personally just for running over areas quickly. I am becoming more disappointed in the fact that the suction head doesn't swivel. The Dysons may do that? You need to go into stores and trial them yourself if you can.

I got it from Godfreys at Gepps Cross in SA. To be honest, i can't remember what i paid now. It wasn't the most expensive one. It was between $100- $150, from memory.

I ordered mine from Godfreys onine, it is regularly $300 but I waited for a sale and only paid $149.

It's a simple set up. There is a bracket to attach to the wall (I haven't done this yet), and the unit hangs on that with a connection to plug in to a power point. I leave mine on charge all the time because i use it everyday. I've had no problem with the battery life or charging - all straight forward.

Thanks for the info Moshgirl!

Yep like Moshgirl says, simple hanger which also holds the accessory tools, and a plug pack with DC plug that goes into the handle. I also leave mine on charge 24/7 with no issues (and you should NOT have issue these days, with LiOn cell technology and proper charge controller chips). There is a charging LED that changes colour from red to green when it's fully charged again.
