Empty the canister often and keep the washable filter at the top cleaned out. The filter is the only thing that slows down this vacuum.

Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums. I own this and during use it picks up my cat food but when you turn it off, the food bits just fall right out, meaning it lacks adequate suction to fully draw into the collection chamber. I ended up just buying another "corded" vac for real usage and use this weak vac for dirty simple jobs, like my car. But, before I shutoff after using it "everytime", I hang it over a garbage can to let out whatever doesn't get sucked up, its pretty ridiculous.

Haven't encountered this problem. Our vacuum is working just fine. Might want to try cust. support.

Mine did the same thing. I just got a new one... never liked it anyway. I got a wireless Hoover that I'm in love with.

Do you like your carpets and floors really clean? I have not been happy with the suction on the Eureka RapidClean at all. Even when using the handheld alone, the stuff sucked up would fall back out.

thank you, do you still like you vaccum? I just ordered it and am nervous about it a bit :-)

I highly suggest you try using your current vacuum with it's cord still partially wrapped up before you buy this vacuum - test out the shorter length and see if it works for you. Besides the deafening sound and too tight extension tube (both of which don't bother me EVERY time I vacuum), the cord is my biggest regret in this purchase. I have to unplug and replug constantly when I didn't have to with my old vacuum.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Same problem I had with my first one. If you call Dyson, they will have someone walk you through taking it all apart and cleaning it etc. I had already done this so I knew that wasn't the problem, but I did it again anyway. Still wasn't working. I finally returned it and got a new one. My new one actually stops occasionally too, but not like the old one. I'm not sure if you can still return it for a new one or not, but I would if you are able. Good luck.

I definitely would recommend going with another steamer/vacuum. Though I cannot give advice as to which brand.

It sounds like you have a real problem with either the outlet or your vacuum. Try different outlet and if same result have qualified person check out your vacuum immediately.

Hi Rochelle ~ I've had my up and using it since September and have not experienced overheating and/or the 88.88. I would definitely be contacting the manufacturer or where you purchased it from if it's overheating and get another one. Good luck!!
