My Dreame Vacuum Has Weak Suction or Isn’t Picking Up Dirt Properly

Common Signs:

  • Noticeably less suction strength.

  • Dust and debris are left behind after cleaning.

  • Poor performance on carpets and rugs.

Why This Happens:

  • Clogged or dirty filters: A blocked filter reduces airflow.

  • Brush roller is tangled: Hair and debris wrapped around the brush can restrict movement.

  • Dust bin is full: An overfilled bin impacts suction efficiency.

  • Blocked airways: Debris might be stuck in the vacuum’s pipes or hose.

How to Fix It:

  • Clean or replace the filters every 2 to 4 weeks depending on how often you use the vacuum.

  • Empty the dust bin after every cleaning session.

  • Inspect and untangle the main brush regularly, especially if you have pets.

  • Check for blockages in the air channels and remove any trapped debris.

  • For stick vacuums, make sure the cyclone system is clear and spinning freely.
