No Suction | How to Videos | Pet Hair Eraser®/Auto Mate® Cordless Hand Vacuums

If your Pet Hair Eraser or AutoMate Lithium Ion Hand Vacs have low suction, don’t worry, here are some tips to help! 

  • Your dirt container may be full. Be sure to empty it to allow more debris to be picked up
  • If the dirt container isn’t correctly attached low suction can occur. Be sure it snaps into place on the body
  • The filter on your hand vacuum may need to be washed or replaced. Hand wash the filter and screen under warm water to clean it
  • Make sure that the filter has no gaps when replacing.
  • If needed, you can buy a replacement filter on bissell.com
  • The tool you’re using may be clogged. Detach the tool and remove any debris or hair that may be blocking suction
  • Make sure your battery is charged. With the machine off, plug in your charger
  • The LED light will appear red when charging, and go blank when the battery is fully charged.

These tips should help fix low suction trouble with your Pet Hair Eraser & AutoMate Hand Vacs!
