To take the old glass off and hold the new glass in place. Honestly, it turned out to be a disaster for us. Hope it works better fo

No it doesn't have suction feet...........it will stand up on its feet. This unit is meant to be mounted to something.

It relies 100% on suction alone, they give you a clear plastic inline guage so as to adjust suction for "optimal" performance. Hope this helps.

Yes, the suction feet are included. Only thing not with it would be heavy lag screws if your going to mount it to the wall.

HI..not sure. BUt suspect you can find extra suction cups at Bed, Bath and Beyond for things like that. I have had mine several months and they still work fo me.

Sure, its actually ideal for the suction. Just as long as the surface is flat or slightly curved without any wrinkles or bumps.

On the hose close to the handle there is an adjustable collar that allows you to close additional holes which increases the suction. The vacuum already has a powerful suction system, but by closing the additional holes it truly becomes even more powerful .

It's probably a dirty filter. You can wash and dry them or buy a new ones for about $12 each (pre-canister and HEPA). Made a world of difference when I cleaned mine--wondered why it ran like doo-doo after 10 years since they're supposed to never lose suction. Apparently they aren't miracle machines--you do need to clean/replace the filters occasionally.

There is an attachment with suction cups that helps to support the unit. It will also fit a number of intake tubes as the attachment for that piece is a cone that gradually increases in size. It does not, however, come with any tubes to connect it to a filter. Users must supply these.

No!! This unit is used to remove air and create a vacumm in whatever device it is hooked up to such as an AC unit. It is not to be confused with a sweeper/vacumm

Good question. I move mine around with the suction cup mount. I bought another one, and just leave them in place, so all you have to do is remove the unit. I did put them on while it was warm, so to allow the suction cup to work better rather than on a cold surface

See the dustbin in the center? That whole piece lifts off the large base and you can bring the smaller unit into tight spaces and up and down stairs. The hose and attachments allow you to vacuum the steps. I love not having to lug the whole vacuum when cleaning my steps. I use the crevice tool, not the rotating brush. A couple passes with the crevice tool picks everything up.

The suction hose is designed to remove crankcase oil through the oil level/oil fill port on a small engine. It will not fit through a small automotive dip stick tube.

You can buy hooks that attach by suction. Target, Walmart places like that carry them. Any household speciality store would have something like that.

It is not suction cups. There are drywall anchors that the hooks go into. The anchors may be giving it the look of plastic. It is a sturdy setup if installed correctly.

There's an upholstery brush and a tool for narrow areas. They fall off all the time while vacuuming. You also can't pick up large crumbs like cereal without using the wand/hose.

I have to ask, what are you doing with it currently where it doesn't have suction power? what do you have hooked up to it?
