User Tips

- Empty Dustbin Often: Don't wait until the dustbin is completely full. Emptying it regularly prevents loss of suction and keeps the vacuum running efficiently.
- Check for Blockages: If suction suddenly drops, always check the nozzle, extension tube, and brush roll for any obstructions.
- Charge Fully: For optimal battery life and performance, ensure the vacuum is fully charged before each significant cleaning session.
