Useful tips

  • Don't overfill it

    To maintain suction, keep an eye on the bin and empty it as soon as debris reaches the MAX marker.

  • Wash the filter regularly

    Rinse under a cold tap until the water runs clear – you don't need any detergents. Leave to dry fully (at least 24 hours) before refitting.

  • Safely store tools

    Clip accessories onto the vacuum's tool holster so you've always got them to hand.
