My LuV300b "handle extension" doesn't seem to work correctly as if it's losing suction, I feel air suction coming hole on back bottom left. Any idea?

Maybe you have a clog in the hose or maybe you should check the filter (there is a hidden filter I was unaware of in the bottom of the vacuum, to locate it look at the front of your vacuum just under the dust bin you will see a vented area, look for a clip to open the vent and the filter is right there. Otherwise I would say maybe you have a hole in your hose? Hope this helps. Good luck.

With my experience with this vacuum, the handle was never strong enough no matter what I did. Check to see if it is clogged at the bottom if the hose where it connects to the bottom of the vacuum (near the bristles). Mine always clogged there.

I also purchased this and love it! My vacuum works so well. Perhaps yours has a glitch or is a lemon for some reason. I know one thing, the manufacturer stands behind their product. Simply contact them through their website and let them know what has happened. They will definitely help you out.They are a family owned company with great values. Contact them!

You have the vaccum connections wrong make sure you have the hose connected to a red flap that opens down on the right hand side, the cord sets as you see it here. I have had mine over a year and NEVER had that problem, if connected properly and the BAG is in PLACE you should not have this trouble , if I knew more, such as where is dirt blowing from etc. I suspect the hose is hooked up wrong or the airbag is not installed tightly enough over the lip it goes on. Hope this helps.....

Hi Jim, I made my hoses going to and from the DD long enough so that I could snap the suction unit with out a problem. Yhat is the only solution I have to you query. Good Luck.

If you're still under warranty, send the unit back. My wife's unit lost suction completely within the first year. The replacement lost suction even quicker. It's too bad you wasted money on this poorly designed product.

If you are talking about the main hose that has the crevice tool fitting on it, it is a left handed thread. Tighten by turning it counter clockwise. Maybe try some silicone or soft glue. It is one of the flaws of this vacuum. And honestly, frustrating..

The inlet is large so you might not feel any suction. But it should definitely be sucking air. Try putting some steam by it, and serif it pulls the steamy air out.

I find that only happens when I pull the vacuum back and bump it with my knee, so I just try to be mindful not to tap it and I don't have issues. If that doesn't help, perhaps the button that holds it in place is worn and you need a replacement handle, I can't imagine it being very expensive. It may be free if your vacuum is still covered on warranty.

I have the same problem and I just called Bissell and they are sending me a new handle. We will see.

The attachments are made to be a part of the handle. For the brush attachment, you just have to make sure it's straight before putting it in its spot (it rotates 360). I haven't had an issue with the attachments.falling off, but I suppose its all in how you handle the vacuum.

Hi, Make sure the taper end of the screws go in from the bottom ( On the flat size that goes agains the food ) Then put the handle on then flat washer and tap. The taps should tighen fully and the handle will be firm. I hope this helps with the problem.

Make sure that you have no kinks in the hosing, and then you turn the water on all the way so it's shooting out the bottom stick in the tank and turn the blue switch and it should begin suction. If not double check to make sure all connections are done correctly and tightly. If all else fails contact the company for support and possible product replacement. The best of luck to you once it's working its a wonderful product

When I rinse mine with water and dry it for 24 hours it has really good suction.... That doesn't sound right. Maybe you could try a new filter to rule that out, but to me it sounds like a problem with something else in the vacuum.

I am not sure what vacuum model you have but it could be one of several issues. The wand pushes into the lower body of the vacuum and at that point it opens or closes a valve to allow you to use the sweeper or the wand, If the wand has no suction it is generally caused by sticky valve or something is lodged in the valve assembly creating the problem. I would also check the hose and make sure nothing is lodged where the hose enters the lower part of the vacuum. The hose on most models unscrews with a 1/2 turn. If you cannot get suction you may need to take it in for service.

I used a socket, put my screw driver(with rubber handle so it gripped inside the socket) with an extension to be able to reach it....... Think it's a flaw in the design but a little ingenuity and you'll get it :) Duck tape and a broom handle anyone?

All I can say is- sorry? I was not happy with mine. I suggest you contact Dirt Devil and find out if they may exchange it for a new one or have a fix. I don't recommend this model.

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?
