I have had this vacuum for 2 years and it recently stopped picking up everything and has become VERY loud?!

I really don't know what to say. My vacuum was on the loud side from day one. And I found it works best on carpet. You should get in touch with Eureka and see what happens.

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 haven't had mine that long, but I find that if the motor starts getting louder it's past the cleaning time. I follow the directions and pull everything apart to clean then replace the filter. It gets pretty slimy. It also has a 1 yr warranty on motor assembly and fountain parts. Call Veterinary Ventures as directed in the instruction book.

well if it sounds ok as a blower, but strange and rattly as a vac, I would check the filter for tears, if the motor sounds strange disconnected, I would try to blow air through it to knock off any dust or leaves that are stuck on the moving parts... if that doesn't work contact the manufacturer.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much. Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.

It is a very bad vacuum, mine not only stopped picking up but started tearing up my rug

I think it does that after it starts to get full. It can get full just doing one room. It is very poorly designed. Their previous design was a much better vacuum and had none of the problems this one has.

I have had this vacuum for a little over 3 years and I love it!! I also have had household help who have liked it so much they went out and bought one for themselves. I have owned probably 10 different vacuums over the past 50 years and this one is great! G-granny

Have had mine for almost two years now and it picks up everything I vacuum over, including dust and dirt.

NO sorry mine does the same thing and I can't seem to get it too stop either! It was great until I moved it to another place and then it just sits now! I really think they should replace it with a better model for us all ! Mine is just a dust magnet now ! :( very sad! Don't buy this one and tell a friend!

I've had my vacuum for about a year now. I bought the 1st vacuum like this one 2yrs ago and returned it while under warranty because the brush unit stopped spinning even though the vacuum was still sucking air. I purchase a 2nd one after that and here I am a year after that and again this vacuum has stopped working. Same problem. Is there an easy fix? I see that the belts are available through Amazon, but I don't want to order this part unless this will absolutely fix the problem. I actually like this vacuum and am disappointed that it stopped working. Any advice?

So I've owned it for almost a year, I think it's more than loud enough but I also bought it mainly for its durability. Depending on what kind of work you do, it should be fine. But I will say if you're using power tools or something loud along those lines, it will not but loud enough to overpower the noise from those. Like when my gf vacuums it can no longer be heard.

I think it might be from the foam filter that needs cleaned out once in a while. Ours stopped picking up the other day and it was also from the foam filter,,,i cleaned it then it worked fine. Hope this helps some for ya!

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.

No I never had any problems with that. I did have problems last year (bought this several years ago) with wires breaking in the head. Best vacuum I ever had. Beat my friend's Dyson! Picked up more dirt

That is exactly what is happening to mine. The first several times I used the vacuum it ran perfectly. However after about two months of use, the vacuum would heat up then stop running. I thought it was dead, but after ten to twenty minutes I plugged it back in and surprisingly it worked again. But it will shut off again after heating up. I believe it is a flaw in the design and sadly there was only a 90 day warranty. I really liked the vaccum being small and portable, but I am angry at the company for putting out an inferior product and ripping people off. I wish I could revise the positive feedback I left them!

I have the same problem. All this vacuum is good for is touch up cleaning. Not powerful enough for anything else.
