My vacuum is brand new. I have used it once. Today as I vacuumed it just randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on. Any ideas why and what needs to be done??? Power outlets are good and I have checked everything with the vacuum. Like I said its brand new!

Same as the others. The vacuum stopped running and will not come back. Less than 3 weeks old. AVOID BUYING THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!

Same as others too. Ours is fairly new. Won't come back on. VERY frustrating since we thought were upgrading and getting a better vacuum.
