Intelligent Cleaning with Detect Technologies
The POWERDETECT vacuum features advanced sensors for enhanced cleaning efficiency:

- Direction Detect: The Intelli-Sense directional sensor recognizes the direction you are vacuuming. POWERDETECT directs its powerful suction either forward or in reverse, ensuring maximum cleaning performance in both directions and saving you time.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your vacuum, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Vacuum not picking up debris or no suction:
- Check if the dust cup is full and empty it.
- Inspect the filters and clean them if they are dirty or clogged.
- Check the nozzle, wand, and hose for any blockages. Clear any obstructions.
- Ensure all connections (wand to nozzle, hand vac to wand) are securely clicked into place.
- Brushroll not spinning:
- Ensure the vacuum is plugged in and powered on.
- Check for any obstructions in the brushroll area and remove them.
- Verify that the correct surface mode (Hard Floor or Carpet) is selected.
- Vacuum turns off on its own:
- The vacuum may have overheated. Turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Empty the dust cup and clean the filters. Allow the vacuum to cool for at least 45 minutes before restarting.
- Check for any large blockages in the nozzle or hose that might be causing the motor to strain.
