The hose of my vacuum cleaner is clogged, what can I do?

Detach the hose and look through it to determine if it is actually clogged. If this is the case, you can take a long object such as a broomstick and carefully push it through the hose. This will generally remove any objects that are clogging the hose. If this didn't help you should contact the manufacturer.

What sizes dust bag are there?

There are two sizes that need to be considered. First is the size of the plate with the bag entrance. This determines whether the dust bag will fit a certain vacuum cleaner. Then theres the size of the bag. This is mostly indicated in liters and determines how much dust the bag can hold.

The power cord of my vacuum cleaner does not rewind back into the device, what can I do?

It is possible that there is a twist or fold in the cord. Completely roll out the cord a few times and rewind it back into the device under guidance of your hands. If this does not solve the problem, it is possible the mechanism to rewind the cord is broken. In that case, contact the manufacturer or a repair service.
