Just purchased a black and decker fur buster hand held vacuum. Worked fine for the first 4 or 5 minutes and then it started turning off - why

SOURCE: Sebo Automatic X1 vacuum 'check brush' light on

I work in a Sebo agency, where we sell and repair Sebos - although they're so reliable we don't get that many to repair.  What's "automatic" about this machine is that it automatically adjusts the brush height so that it's ideal for whatever floor it's on.  It does that by sensing the amount of drag on the brush.  On a wood floor, there's much less drag than on a carpet, so the machine lowers the brush as far as possible to get the optimum drag.  After a while (4 1/2 years in your case) the brush has worn so far that the machine can no longer get it down low enough to brush the floor effectively. That's why the light comes on.  There's still plenty of bristle to do a good job on carpet but, if you want to do the best job on your wood floors too, you need a new brush roller.  Change the brush roller, and you'll probably feel the suction's improved too!
Any questions, just post a comment and I'll help if I can.  I value your feedback so please remember to rate this response.
Good luck!

I'm not sure what bag your referring to. The only bag for this is the carrying bag. So I have to assume you mean one of the filters.
There are three filters for this vacuum.

• Primary Filter.
• Exhaust Filter.
• Secondary Filter Element.

I have included a link to a site that carries the replacement parts and a diagram of the vacuum.
Hope this helps.
On another note If it doesn't help I really don't feel to bad because I'm in Detroit Michigan. And I'd rather have a dozen useless vacuums hanging out in New Zealand any day. :)
Find me a job there and I'll buy you a new vacuum. :)

Response by small6363 was right on target. All the reviews and comments I had read up to this point for my Dustbuster CHV9600 indicated the battery could not be replaced. I am so glad this link was here.I have ordered the part and will follow the other posters' cautions about reassembling the product. I could not be happier as I could not find the model anymore and it is my favorite purple color. Thanks again small6363. You are a life saver.

Make sure the on/off Switch is FULLY in the "OFF" position, or it will not charge. ( The unit turns off when the switch is about 3/4 of the way to the "OFF" position)
