It should click into place. If it's not clicking, put in and then twist to line up the locking dot.

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.

Guess there must be some problem with your model as mine does not do that. It stays locked in to position. I have to unlock it.

Maybe you didn't lock it at the proper position (there's only one spot on the handle where you can do this, you should hear and feel it click). Otherwise you should send it back

look just below the handle on the main upright before you get to the red release latch. there is a decal where it instructs you to "twist to adjust suction...." it's the only thing you can twist. THANKS for asking - i hadn't noticed it before & i need it, too!!

Jayne, the first time my wife tried taking the canister off she couldn't get it turned either. Once I removed it and snapped it back in place a few times she was then able to remove it herself. I hold the vacuum handle in my left hand, with the snout pointing away from my body, grab the canister with my right hand and turn it left, or counter-clockwise. It only moves about an inch and then you pull it towards the front of the vacuum - towards the snout -to remove it. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem but realized that there was not enough pressure. If you tighten it more it should lock into place, also make sure the door is pressed down all the way before snapping the handle down.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

There are two screw locks on the handle. One is a screw on the end of the handle, and the other is an internally threaded collar that slides up and down the handle. The first thing you do is push the handle hard into the mop head, and turn it clockwise to tighten it into the broom head. It CAN be slightly difficult to push it into the broom head, because there are some bumps on the handle that have to be pushed into the broom head pretty hard - they kind of "snap" into the head and then you can tighten it. After the handle is screwed into the head, you slide the collar down onto the broom head and tighten that. The collar prevents the handle from twisting out of the head.

There should be a button on the handle. You have to hold it down continuously.

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.

Mine is sometimes hard to push. Holding the handle at a lower angle to push it helps. Putting a new cleaner clothe (or whatever they call it) on helps also. I don't find it a big problem. I guess I have strong arms. I like my mop. Hope this helps.

The handles should just lock or snap together. You have to make sure the ends of the middle section (between the hand end and the machine end) are oriented in the right direction. Hope this helps... otherwise, you should be able to find a customer service number for them in the manual or on their website. Best of lock.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

Pull behind. The handle likes to fall down. I would like it to be locked in place so when you let go of it that it's still in the position I left it.

Lift up on the bottom red handle. Pull up the sides to a semi locked position, then push down the bottom. That should lock the sides

Rotate the bottom portion of the handle till it aligns with the arrow.Not so much that the battery compartment opens; you will get the hang of it.Be careful, mine began to overheat and melt.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

I just hold below the part where it lengthens or shortens & twist above that part to loosen & then adjust it. Sorry you are having problems. I love my mop!

I have to set it flat then push the handle forward (not the vacuum itself only the handle as if pressing down and pushing forward) and it will click in place to stand upright.
