I recently picked up an 8-gallon HEPA vacuum with a pole sanding attachment. After only a few minutes of cleaning some demo debris, I've noticed that the vacuum has lost suction. What could I have done wrong? Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hey! First thing to check is whether something might be stuck in the hose. Also, listen to the motor – does it sound different from when you first turned it on? Sometimes a punctured hose can cause loss of suction too. Just double-check all those parts.

I checked the hose and it seems fine, and the motor sounds normal too. But I'm thinking I might take another look at the hose, just to be safe.
