Sounds like you need to give your turbo brush some love! Dismantle, clean, grease on all moving parts, re-assemble and try! If your better half is anything like mine you'll find hair inside every bearing and joint, which seizes the whole thing up!

Beko, yes, I dismantled it and got a mountain of dust and hair out.  I put it back without grease and it seems to work fine.  I suppose I could put a little grease on the fan spindles, but I don't want the dust to stick.

By the way, I'm not 100% sure which way up the HEPA filter goes.  Is it writing side up?  Thanks.

I use a few drops of 3 in 1 on the bearings.  Hepa goes writing side up.
