Has anyone had a problem with the handle popping out of the vacuum when they pull it towards them? I returned a different model because of that issue

Only if it is not "clicked" in. Otherwise it is like a spring action that pops the handle up. As long as it is properly secured, no issues

Yes. Also the cord holder broke in the first week, the button to the wand extender fell off and is missing, the clip to the dust canister broke, the pet attachment tool kept falling off its holder and now is lost. The latest, after 7 months of use the brush roller won't spin due to a belt problem which is not accessible to the consumer to fix. I called Electrolux customer service and the person I talked to was unknowledgable. I must travel 35 minutes to an Electrolux approved vacuum repair store if I want it fixed under warranty. I will not buy Electrolux again since I can not have it repaired locally. Nothing like the old Electrolux products years ago. Yes.

Yes, the hose keeps tugging back when your pulling it out. you have to hold it while vacuuming. not fun

Are you pushing down on the grey button on top of the vacuume cleaner beside the handle? You have to push the button down, then pull the canister out. The top fits more snug than the last one I had. I have to hold the canister between my knees, then turn the top and pull it up. I'm hoping it will get easier the more times I do it! Hope this information is helpful :0)

Yes, it requires a good deal of effort to pull the bottom of the handle back. However, I don't think that necessarily means that it is defective, since mine is the same way but has worked superbly for about a year.

With my experience with this vacuum, the handle was never strong enough no matter what I did. Check to see if it is clogged at the bottom if the hose where it connects to the bottom of the vacuum (near the bristles). Mine always clogged there.

I had no problem as the suction is so great. I agree with tools for maybe corners etc.... Overall I absolutely love this machine and I am one that swore by Dyson. Both are amazing.

Mine has never popped off. I'm not sure if it's fixable after that happens. I would think so though. I would put some baby oil on the plastic points wher the handle pivots in and then try to slide the handle back in positon. If that fails....... write te manufacturer and see what they say.

Its a Suction issue. Haven't had this vacuum for 1 yr & its already useless. Local Repair recommends to buy new over repairing. I'm going back to bagged vacuums, This bag less concept has been a nightmare from the getgo

Yes. I've found it somewhat difficult to unlatch at times... But for a myriad of other reasons, I just use my Shark Navigator instead. I really hate my Dyson at this point.

Yaa my handle pulled out too but I tapped bigger holes and put in new bolts it has been a great help with other projects like car gas tank removal. My Dyna sits on it good and once you strap it down it ain't going nowhere.

You need to tighten the two Philips screws which secure the handle to the body. It shouldn't detach as long as it's screwed properly.The left side of the back of the vacuum has a clear looking port for one end of the hose, the wider end. The gray part on the hose attaches to that port and you screw it to the right to secure it. The other end of the hose (narrower black end) gets wrapped around the back of the vacuum (there's a little "arm" like thing that it loops over) and then stuck into the hole on the bottom right of the back. When you want to use the hose you take that end out and stick any attachments onto it. You need to tighten the two Philips screws which secure the handle to the body.

I haven`t had any problems with the filter popping off. I suggest you call Dyson customer service with your problem. I`m sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Have no idea about other vendors. I think it is a super vacuum and have had no problem with the attachments. Have you tried contacting Hoover.

Sorry, I don't know. I've only had mine for several months and have had no problem, except that it functions on vacuum overkill.

Not mine. I spend about 1/2 hour each time I vaccuum trying to detach the canister so I can get the dirt out. Most of the time, I just have to use a coathanger to pull the dirt out. Then, I have to vaccuum the floor where I was pulling the dirt out. Love the vaccuum otherwise.

Gary, you don't need any tool to remove it from de the main vacuum. Just watch how it is grabbed, and try to take it out with your hands. That's the only way to fix it.

Mine is sometimes hard to push. Holding the handle at a lower angle to push it helps. Putting a new cleaner clothe (or whatever they call it) on helps also. I don't find it a big problem. I guess I have strong arms. I like my mop. Hope this helps.
