I had the vacuum for about 5 months. Suddenly it started blowing the air OUT rather than sucking it. I made sure the filters are in properly.

We had the same experience. I agree with the commenter that the vacuum does not work well on high carpet or in dealing with long hair and a fair amount of pet fur. After my experience with Miele, I would recommend folks to buy a dyson.

Based on the authorized dealer who repaired our Miele, he said that the Miele does not work on thick carpets. It gets clogged and does not suck. We had to go to floor setting. I do not recommend on thicker carpets. It does not suck!!!!

I recently had a problem as well. The battery started not to fully charge. I purchased a new battery and it was better but, it still does not fully charge. I don't know if it is the battery, the charger, or perhaps the vacuum itself. In your case, it sounds like the charger maybe defective because it is has been my experience the charger only flashes (blue light) when the battery is in the cradle. I would order a new charger and battery (if the battery is old) or first replace the charger and see what happens. Good luck!

On my unit when the filter plugged it just restricted air flow as the air is drawn thru the filter. It seems like there is a different problem if its blowing dust out into the room such as something not seated properly.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

I have had mine for two years and am experiencing the same thing for the last month. Can't hardly vacuum anything before it pops off. Aggravating!!

Have you tried cleaning the canister and filter? I've had a Dyson for years but didn't know how to disassemble and clean it until I saw it on YouTube.

I have never had this problem. Sounds like a poor contact between the battery and the vacuum or maybe the vacuum is plugged.

You should try cleaning it. You can run your vacuum hose over the front and back and hopefully it will unclog the blades.

I would call a vacuum repair store. Most cities have them. The price of it was so inexpensive, I probably would not bother repairing it if it is old. I would just get a new unit if you like it that much.

Have you checked the roller in the bottom of the vacuum? Could be tangled with hair. Secondly, the motor and canister areas need to be cleaned out or they will get congested with dust/particles.

I am guessing something is missing. I have had two of these vacuums and never had this problem. You may want to return it and let them know it is defective. Hope this helps.

I just cleaned it with a handheld vac, but I think they need to be replaced every six months, haven't had it that long, but it's doing what we wanted it to do.

We just changed ours after 4-5 years and it was dirty. The machine did seem to work well all that time, so it's not like it lost air flow from being overly dirty. Make sure to vacuum the outside periodically (it will get dusty) so that air can flow in.

try opening all parts possible and also make sure the filter is CLEAN . Also, should not be to full of hair on the botton, keeping it clean helps the motor to last longer .

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.

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.

I have not experienced that problem. It's actually the best vacuum cleaner that I have ever owned. I highly recommend it.
