This canister vacuum is made to last a long time and has amazing power. Commercial cleaning companies find this Hoover canister vacuum to be a dependable choice and a must have cleaning supply. Residential homeowners will love the price of this Hoover and will find it the best canister for hardwood floor cleaning. The Hoover Portapower has been around for several decades and goes by the Hoover CH30000 and in the past the Hoover C2094.

The following are a few basic steps to take when your Hoover Canister isn’t performing the same way as when you purchased it.

1) Take your Hose off your canister vacuum and turn the vacuum on. Put the palm of your hand against the intake where the hose goes. Try to see if as you pull your hand away if the vacuum will move with your hand along the floor. You can also attach the vacuum to the wall and turn it on. If the vacuum is able to hold itself up your vacuum is fine and go to step 2.

2) Check your Hoover Portapower medal wand to assure nothing is clogged in the inside. If you can see clearly through it you’ll want to check the vacuum hose next. On the back of your Hoover Portapower lift the gate and attach the vacuum hose to the hole. Turn the vacuum on and this will blow out your vacuum hose if anything is stuck inside it. You should do this outside as a lot of dust will come out of your vacuum. If nothing comes out you may need to use a small pole to push anything out. If the vacuum isn’t sucking still and nothing is in the hose your vacuum hose probably has a tiny hole inside it and you’ll need a new vacuum hose. Hoover vacuum parts are easy to purchase and replace.

3) If in step one the vacuum itself isn’t powerful enough to hold itself up you’ll want to do the following. Assure that you have a vacuum bag in place and if so that the bag isn’t to full. An empty Hoover vacuum bag is better for performance. The Hoover Portapower’s carbon brush may need to be replaced and is an easy fix. Simply take the casing off and attached to the vacuum motor is the carbon brush. Replacing the carbon brush will make your vacuum perform like new and it’s a low cost vacuum part to replace. Replacing the vacuum motor would be the only other step to take and usually shouldn’t have to be done for years, unless if used daily for commercial use.

The Hoover canister vacuum will last commercial users 2 years typically before having to replace the motor and many years for a homeowner.
