loss of suction on robotic vacuum cleaner is a plugged vacuum hose

The second and sometimes most common reason for loss of suction on robotic vacuum cleaner is a plugged vacuum hose. If the vacuum hose becomes plugged, air flow will become restricted. To unplug a vacuum cleaner hose detach it from the machine and inspect the inside. If there is a restriction in the hose, remove it with your fingers and replace the hose onto the unit. If the hose is long and the debris is hard to get too, a broom handle or other long object can be passed through the hose to dislodge the debris. Most vacuum cleaners contain more than one vacuum cleaner hose, so make sure to check each one by process of elimination. Another area that can become easily plugged on a vacuum cleaner is under the lower base of the unit by the roller brush. Large debris can get caught in this area and restrict air flow to the vacuum cleaner hose.

If your vacuum cleaner bag is not full and the vacuum hoses are not plugged the next thing to check is the condition of the hoses. Many hoses are made from plastic which can easily tear or crack. If your vacuum cleaner shows signs of wear or are cracked they need to be replaced. Even the smallest hole in a vacuum hose can leak enough air to greatly diminish the suction potential of your unit. Replace your robotic carpet cleaner with OEM parts from the original vacuum manufacturer to ensure the tightest fit.
