It sounds as if you need to clean the filter. This vacuum is sop powerful for such A small appliance. I need to clean the filter very well after each use. I also put this filter in the washing machine about once a month and it comes out looking like a new filter. So, try emptying the filter more often.

I use a vacuum cleaner and it sucks every bit of air inside. The problem are the bags' valves. They don't keep the vacuum.

It could be clogged...did you check all pathways? I've honestly never had that problem. It's similar to a vacuum, so I'd imagine it gets gunked up.

Hmmm . . . it will clean up standing water. But it's a vacuum. If you have a stain as a result of water that was left standing, I don't think any vacuum will be able to remove that.

NO, if your question is cleaning "stains" on carpets and so on, it does not have a BRUSH, so it wouldn't do the trick, but it can suck up water if you need it to

Check to make sure the bottle of cleaning solution is seated correctly, all the way in. If you're sure it is, you may have a defective unit and should contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will stand behind it.

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

First question answer is no.Second no you just vacuum the water up with water attachment. This thing works great!!!

You may have to much air in your machine. Ours does filter the water as you are stating but the filters catch all of the debris. The first time I used the dolphin we had the same problem, however, my husband figured out he did not purge the air before starting the machine. I hope this helps!

Yes it does. The tank for the cleaning solution is on the upright and the tank for dirty is below with the vacuum head. One note to be aware of, the waste tank is only about 1/2 the size of the solution tank so it has to be dumped more frequently than it needs to be filled.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

You can use it to vacuum the floor prior to the wet scrubbing. Is is constantly sucking up the dirty water as you clean, like a carpet cleaner. You can also go back to suctions only to pick up any excess water after you have cleaned an area. To me, the key is to go section by section.

I'd love to be able to help u but I haven't used it yet. I would guess it maybe vacuum holding it on. Not to b funny but have u looked in the owners manual? It may have some helpful hints.

I would think there must be some kind of blockage in the vacuum function of the machine. any floor cleaner that uses vacuum uses a fairly simple system consisting of a fan for the suction, and a series of small duct tubes to direct the airflow. any obstruction in the duct tubes will reduce or eliminate the suction. also the fan that creates the suction could also become faulty or damaged. a mechanically savvy person could dig into the machine a bit and possibly figure out the problem. they are not very sophisticated devices. there is a belt that drives the scrub brush, and the dirty water is sucked up and deposited in the holding tank. all of those functions I mentioned have to be looked at.

it goes up walls a little bit but not very high, and it does not climb stairs. I brush the stuff on the stairs and push it down to the pool which it will clean up then
