Difficult to Push | How to Videos | Pet Hair Eraser® Lift-Off®

If you find that your vacuum is harder to push than normal, the following may help.

  • You may be using the wrong floor type setting for the surface you are trying to clean.      
  • Locate the floor type setting on the side of the vacuum
  • Turn the knob to the left for high pile carpet and to the right for bare floors
  • Certain carpet types like Super Soft or Soft Silk carpeting require vacuums with height adjustment to easily move and effectively clean that premium thick type of carpet.

We hope you found these tips useful and your vacuum is now working properly again!
