Planned to vacuum this AM but got about half done and the vac started with an unusual noise and stopped “sucking”. I spent about 30 minutes taking the thing apart and checking for blockages, etc. Cleaned every part I could get to and tried again and, goodie, it’s all back to normal. The vac is a Dyson upright and I so appreciate it is made so one can disassemble it without tools, etc. to clean it or find blockages. Quite proud I was able to fix it since so many products seem to only work for a couple of years and it’s time for something new.
