Vacuuming a cotton painter's cloth once? Who did It?
Cotton cloth and debris clogged my vac up -- stop and clear.

constantly."
After two days of troubleshooting and replacing bags, filters and foam
shrouds, I finally checked the hose input connection hole (without the
hose in it) and guess what? It almost sucked off my finger prints! Yup, it
was the hose clog all this time. A few long pokes and shakes and it was
all clean and I could pick up marbles from sic inches away!

And THIS is why the internet was created. Not able to fix my vacuum, I came here. Lo and behold! I also had a hose clog :-D
