Dyson manufactures vacuum cleaners that the company claims will never lose suction as long as you properly maintain the machine. There are several things that might make a Dyson vacuum lose suction, such as clogged hoses or a dirty filter. Fix these issues to restore suction. Always consult the Dyson Company to see if they will cover the cost of repairs if you are unable to restore the suction on your own.

Remove the filter. On most machines the filter is above the dirt canister. Remove it by pulling the dirt canister from the machine and removing the canister lid. Dyson has bright release buttons that are easily accessible and visible.

Wring the filter out and let it air dry completely.
