Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Tandem Air dual-motor technology work?

Tandem Air technology uses two individual motors operating together inside the upright frame. One motor powers the metal brush roll for carpet agitation, while the second motor drives suction through the filtration system and attachments.

2. What happens if the vacuum accidentally picks up a rug edge or sock?

The Hall sensor technology detects the jam and immediately stops the brush roll before the belt can snap. Once you clear the item, turn the unit back on to resume cleaning with no broken belts.

3. How does the self-cleaning Fur-Get-It tool remove pet hair?

The included Fur-Get-It pet tool uses specialized teeth and suction to pull stubborn pet hair out of upholstery, stairs, and bedding without tangling or clogging the tool.

4. Are the brush strips on the metal brush roll replaceable?

Yes, the metal brush roll features replaceable brush strips. When the bristles wear down over time, you can replace the strips without buying an entire brush roll assembly.

5. What does the Red Carpet Service Plan include?

Offered through participating dealers, the Red Carpet Service Plan provides scheduled tune-ups and inspections to keep your vacuum operating at peak performance throughout its warranty period.
