Troubleshooting
Vacuum loses suction
Check if the bin is full and empty it. Ensure the filter is clean and completely dry. Check all hoses and cleaner heads for blockages.
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery is correctly clicked into the charger or wall dock. Check that the power outlet is working. Clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
Laser light not illuminating
Ensure the Laser Slim Fluffy™ cleaner head is correctly attached and the vacuum is turned on. Check for any debris obstructing the laser aperture.
Cleaner head not spinning
Verify the cleaner head is properly connected. Check for any tangled debris preventing the brush bar from spinning. Ensure the vacuum is in the correct mode for the cleaner head.
Device won't turn on
Check if the battery is charged and properly inserted. If the battery is depleted, charge it fully. Ensure the trigger is fully depressed.
