Hard to Push | How to Videos | SmartClean® Canister Vacuum

If you’re having a hard time pushing your SmartClean Canister, flip the switch on the floor nozzle to adjust for hard floor or carpet.
  • Find the Airflow Valve at the top of the handle where it connects with the hose and open it.
  • Decreasing the suction power can also help, especially when vacuuming plush carpets.
  • The last thing you can check is how extended your vacuum’s wand is.
  • Extending the wand slightly can help ease the backward-forward motion so it’s happening farther away from you. This prevents the push stroke from starting too close to your body.
Now you can get back to cleaning with your SmartClean Canister!
Great!
