I took my Hoover for free estimate, they told me is clogged from underneath, (some area between the brush and the hose) not the hoses or the filter. It costs too much to fix. How can I unclog it? It;s a foding handle bagless model.
Got a friendly small garage nearby? Maybe they'll let you use their compressed air line (or do it for you) - by far the best way to dislodge the dirt underneath.
