Hoover H-Upright 500 Sensor Plus review | TechRadar

Advanced multiple cyclones are highly effective at separating dust from the air within the machine, with the result that your vacuum requires less filter maintenance. There’s no motor power control, although you can open the vent at the rear of the cleaner to reduce suction power on some floors.Lastly, if you've tried all of the above and you're still experiencing a loss of suction, it's probably due to the motor. Now you can replace the motor, it's not the easiest of jobs but it's certainly doable and you may find that you don't need to replace the whole motor, just the carbon brushes in the motor. When the brush bar is on it will agitate the carpet fibres so you easily lift out dirt and debris and when you switch it off it will leave your delicate surfaces scratch free.
