Useful tips

  • Switch tools quickly

    Just slide your chosen tool onto the inlet pipe until you hear a click.

  • 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 12 hours) before refitting.

  • Don't overfill it

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