If the vacuum loses suction power, check for any blockages in the hose or brush roll. Clean or replace the filters if they are dirty or clogged. Additionally, empty the dust cup and ensure it is properly attached.
To extend the battery life, avoid letting the battery completely drain before recharging. Store the vacuum in a cool, dry place and ensure it is turned off when not in use. Regularly clean the filters and the brush roll to reduce the load on the motor.

Ensure the battery is properly charged and securely connected to the vacuum. Check for any obstructions in the air pathways. If the vacuum still doesn't turn on, inspect the power switch for any visible damage or wear.
It is recommended to replace the filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage frequency. Regularly inspect the filters for wear and tear and replace them sooner if you notice a decrease in vacuum performance.
