Thank you for posting this video! My vacuum cleaner had a clog for a couple of weeks now. I followed your steps and it is as good as new. 😁

You know what I learned about cleaning roller bristles! Before I say , I’ve used a Tooth pick and sat and cleaned the bristles one by one , spent hours. And what I learned. Take roller off. Use garden hose on high pressure setting , and the bristles from bottom to top with hose cleans them spotless. I wish I would of known this a year ago. You wouldn’t think a hose will get twisted hair wrapped around each bristle. But it does wonders. Just a tip you might or might not know. It’s actually unbelievable!!!! I’m sure all of us at one point started on one bristle , digging hair out and it takes for ever. That’s my 2 cents. Also. I’m like you. I go through some rich neighborhoods and all my sweepers were once trash. A lot of them being plugged !

Excellent troubleshooting video, Hank. Thanks for the upload

Thank you Hank. I could not figure out how to clean out the very bottom where it is really clogged. What a horrible design!! Wish my old Electrolux would have lasted longer…although I had it a long, long time.

Thank you Hank! Your video tutorial will be a great help in unclogging my Hoover.

I just wanted to thank you. A newly divorced middle-aged woman who had never fixed a vacuum was successful because of this video

Thank you for this video. I could not figure out what the issue was! There was dog hair stuck in the tube but, b/c the tube is basically black I could not see it. Oh and a pencil was in there too lol.

I run a water hose through the Vacuum hose and it will push the clogs out

Hank, looks like nothing has changed at Hoover when I was in between jobs. I salvaged a wind Tunnel self propelled from new and salvaged but it's trash after 20 years with expensive replacement parts. BTW, the motor belt for the manual model is still the same part.

Thank you for the video. We are having challenges with ours where the canister attaches to the tube. There seems to be a gap and dust and small particles fly out. Any suggestions?

[@stoolie10]

Hank, Any chance you have any experience with replacing a bad on/off on a Miele Jazz upright vacuum. I don’t see any screws to release a cover unless the plastic cover just snaps over the switches.
