I just bought an upright Electrolux bagless hoover, which I've used twice and have been thrilled to death with. Picks up the cat hair like nothing I've ever seen before.
Today - 3rd time it's been used, the brushes won't spin on the main 'sucky' bit, although the hose is fantastic and works great. There is LOTS of hot air blowing out of the fan on the bottom, it's actually blowing stuff around and not picking it up.
I bought an upright because I have back issues and DO NOT want to be using the hose to hoover my main floors and carpets.
I've emptied and cleaned the dust cup, filter and foam, checked the brush for blockage, disassembled & reassembled hose and have found no blockage, moved to another room, tried another power point, nothing has worked. The electrolux website has no troubleshooting section and I've emailed them but no response.
Anyone have this happen before - even on something not Electrolux-made and had a solution?
