(NB: The tips below do not apply to the Steamvac Duo, the Steamvac Agility, or the Steamvac Dual V or V2 models. The models involved are the models in the range F5815 to F5914-950.)If your Hoover Steamvac was working properly and suddenly it is not sucking any water, nine times out of ten, the culprit is the lid on the lower recovery tank. The lid on the lower tank (or dirty water tank) needs to hinge at the front and snap down at the back in order to creat a proper seal. If the lid snaps on but is not locked on at the front, you will not get any suction. Simply take the lid off, and ensure that when you put it back on, it must hinge on the front tabs of the tank.Right now you are thinking that you shouldn’t have let your brother borrow your Steamvac. And you are right, because he used the hose attachment and returned it with the hose still attached to the front of the tank (some models only). Now when you try to use it there isn’t any suction. In this case, you are missing your tank duct.

On models where the stair/upholstery hose attaches to the front of the recovery tank, one must remove a square plastic piece in order to attach the hose. This square plastic tank duct must be replaced before the Steamvac will operate properly in the upright position. So call you brother on the phone tell him to find it, or call me at the number at the top of the screen to order one.Most the likely, the culprit here is under the recovery tank. Standing behind the steamvac with the lower tank off, to the right and front you will notice a round duct opening about 2 inches in diameter. This should have a rubber seal on it. If it is missing, look under the hood of the steamvac it may have fallen forward there. Otherwise, give me a call to get another one.Believe it or not they may just need to be cleaned! You can remove the rack of brushes by pinching the tabs on either side and pulling it out. The plastic is clear so you can see if the brushes and gears are gummed up with hair and carpet fibres.

Rinsing usually works best. There are two more things to check if this doesn’t solve the problem. First, check that the switch for the brushes is set to high. Second, look under the clear plastic piece near the switch (it is removable). There is a small screen that collects lint and hair (like a dryer screen!). This is the air intake for the turbine that drives the brushes. Clean it off and your back in business.Unfortunately, these problems are usually a bit more complicated and need professional service.

It's highly versatile—either push it along the floor like a standard upright vac, or pop out the handheld portion to take on small spills, delicate sofas, or similar hands-on targets. It's a great idea, as it combines the best of both worlds: the power of an upright with the portability and convenience of a handheld. But that means you're faced with the drawbacks of a hand vac, and the Air Cordless is held back by short battery life and a small dustbin. It's a solid choice for apartment dwellers, though you'll need to make some trade-offs in the name of versatility. Hoover Air Cordless Series 3.0 Eureka Brushroll Clean With SuctionSeal AS3401A Bissell Bolt Ion 2-in-1 Lightweight Cordless Vacuum Design Similar to its purely upright predecessor, the Hoover Air Cordless Series 3.0, the 2-in-1 sports a futuristic, gray-plated RoboCop look with a dash of blue trim used to highlight multiple parts of the machine, like the Power switch, and latches used to detach various parts from the main chassis.

It's a solid, premium-looking design that seems to have become Hoover's signature look—not a bad thing at all. The vacuum stands almost 4 feet tall and weighs 5.9 pounds, or 6.9 pounds with its lithium-ion battery inserted. It's lightweight and cordless, making it easy to carry around and move from room to room. However, it's first necessary to screw in a supplied bolt with the accompanying crevice tool holder to ensure the handle remains securely fastened to the rest of the vacuum. You only need to do this once; after that step is complete, the Air Cordless 2-in-1 is rock solid. Given its small size, prepare to empty the dust bin somewhat frequently. The Air Cordless 2-in-1 only holds 0.7 liters of debris, which is a lot less than the 1.05 liters the Air Cordless Series 3.0 can hold, but still more than what the 0.45-liter Dyson DC59 Motorhead can handle. It's important to keep in mind, though, that the 2-in-1 is basically a handheld vac in the body of an upright stick model, which should put the light capacity in perspective.

Plus, removing and emptying the bin is easy to do: A trigger labeled Hand Vac Release detaches the hand vac from the stick, and in the middle of the hand vac is a Dust Cup Release button that releases the dust cup from the rest of the vacuum. From there, you must pinch and lift two blue plastic tabs to remove the filter so you can  empty out the dustbin into the garbage. It sounds more complicated than it is. An interchangeable 20-volt lithium-ion battery that comes with a 2-year warranty powers the vacuum. Unfortunately, it only lasts for 15 minutes and the full recharge time is nine hours, so make sure you have your target areas well-planned before switching the vacuum on. It's not a huge battery hit compared with the Dyson Motorhead, which has a maximum run time of 24 minutes. To charge the battery, you need to place it on the included charging cradle. The battery comes equipped with an LED-based charge level indicator, so you can at least keep track of its progress over those nine long hours.

If 15 minutes of cleaning time just won't cut it, you can pick up an extended runtime battery here, which lasts for 25 minutes and takes three hours to charge, but for $99.00, it nearly doubles the price of the entire vacuum. Attachments and Features Like the Hoover Air Cordless Series 3.0, the 2-in-1 has a helpful headlight at its base, which illuminates dirt and debris clearly, even in the dark. During testing, it helped reveal hair, plastic twist ties, and other debris that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. A couple of attachments for the hand vac come with the 2-in-1, including a brush roll and a crevice tool. The hand vac's suction is good enough that the brush roll tool feels redundant, although I could see it being useful on fabric-covered sofas. The crevice tool is a standard wand that extends the reach of the hand vac ever-so-slightly—useful for clearing dust or debris out of corners. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to detach the extra tools from the hand vac—no latch, no button, just brute strength is required.

I yanked the brush roll off, and with no easy place to grip, it slipped out of my fingers and flew across the room. My fault, but it would've been nice if the attachments were as convenient, well-designed, and easy to remove as those included with the Dyson V6 Mattress. Performance and Conclusions The 2-in-1 uses Hoover's WindTunnel 2 technology, which means it uses two air channels to lift and remove dirt. That's one less air channel than the Air Cordless Series 3.0, but since given the hybrid design, that reduction can be forgiven. In any case, the 2-in-1 is still fairly powerful. I tested the 2-in-1 in its upright position against its cousin, the Series 3.0, and found it to be almost as good. I sprinkled piles of kitty litter and Cheerios on a low pile carpet and passed each vacuum over them to see how they would fare. The 2-in-1 revealed suction power nearly on par with the Series 3.0—it was able to pick up most of the litter and cereal in just a few short passes. Just like the Series 3.0, it sometimes had trouble picking up the tire-shaped cereal pieces and they rolled away—but nothing another pass over the carpet couldn't fix.

I also tested the hand vac and experienced similar results. But you might not even not need to remove the hand vac all that often, as a near-180-degree swivel makes the 2-in-1 very easy to maneuver around the floor. In comparison, the Eureka Brushroll Clean with SuctionSeal AS3401A is a bit of slog to move around with its rigid handle, though it lasts much longer since it uses a cord and is equipped with a larger dustbin. Suction power is about the same for all three vacuums, which is impressive in the 2-in-1's case. One of the best things about the 2-in-1 is the Power switch on top of the handle that you can easily activate by rolling with your thumb. Roll it forward once from the Off position and the vacuum goes into Hard Floor mode. Push it forward once more and it goes into Carpet mode, which activates the brush roll when it's attached. I found the 2-in-1 did its best work with the brush roll on. The dustbin got full pretty quickly in testing. My hands got a bit dusty, too, so it's not quite as streamlined as the Dyson Motorhead, for instance.
