A properly working vacuum cleaner should have rotating beater brushes to loosen dry soil and a powerful airflow to pull the dirt into the vacuum's bag or canister.
Does your vacuum's suction power diminish while you're using it? There are a couple of possible causes. First, check the bag to see if it's full or empty and replace it if necessary. Then, check the hose to see if it's obstructed.
For all practical purposes, a vacuum cleaner bag is nothing more than a filter, porous enough to let air escape but not the dirt it collects.
To check to see if there's an obstruction in the vacuum cleaner hose (for canister models), remove the hose from the cleaner, straighten it out, and shine a flashlight into it. If light doesn't come out the other end, there's a blockage.
Canister vacuums operate differently than upright vacuums, but they should still be checked over and maintained so they operate at their best.
