we have the same vacuum in our resort. if you take apart the handle you will see that the switch for the on/off part inside needs to be reinforced with a piece of something hard so that the on/off swich will work when you put the handle back on the vacuum. i have found that a piece of white plexiglass that the guys had in the shop worked very well for this problem. if you have any questions, please e mail me at julleye@mncable.com i have worked with hoover for the last ten years. feel free to email me with your questions. julie
