Discovery of the Weekend! Several weeks ago I noticed that hose/attachment feature of the sweeper had absolutely NO suction, however, the regular part worked just fine. I had resigned myself that I would probably have to buy a new one (goo) but my wonderful husband agreed to take a look at it. Well, he unscrewed the bottom cover, and lo and behold . . . SOMEHOW, there were several magnetic alphabet letters just chillin'. Undoubtedly, Joshua had figured out how to open the "hatch" for the hose and insert the letters. Amazingly enough . .. my sweeper works again!
