SERVICE AND REPAIR FAQ

Why is my vacuum/cordless/robot not performing as efficiently as it used to? Cleaners work hard in the home and need care and maintenance just like any other moving parts object. Over time dirt, hair and debris builds up and impedes performance of the cleaner, ultimately wearing down and potentially damaging the machine if left unchecked. Imagine that your cleaner was a big cog; if something were to obstruct it; it would no longer be able to work effectively and create new issues with time.
