Where in Ireland can I find a Service Agent

take it to an authorized service agent for a warranty check
if it is unrepairable you will be entitled to a warranty replacement unit
if it has be repaired by any other than an authorized agent , the warranty will be void

Steam cleaning is supposed to mostly eliminate the need for chemicals.

I suggest you check the steamer instructions or contact their customer service for advice before testing a small area of carpet for colour fastness that is usually hidden.

if it is a problem it will need a warranty repair or exchange
take it to the authorized service agent for the fix

You should be able to locate a service center using the below link. It requires a postal code.

Did you get the machine to work?

HI there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au here. I am an australian service agent for bissell. If you go to my website and use the link to put in a request I can get the parts for any Australian bissell machine. Your question doent give your location so i am not sure if this is a help or not.
Regards Alec
HAPPY VACUUMING :)

you bought it in August this year
as it is 2018 and only march, it is not possible to have a problem with a machine not yet made
Besides the point , it is under warranty so take it to a service agent for a warranty repair

The first problem you'll have is to unscrew the case. You will need a Torx security key -I bought a set from toolspot.co.uk Code PR7424 Toolzone 9pc Security Torx Keys. This unscrews the case. (I think I paid around £7 incl delivery) The problem is the T20 size, which is the one you need is a little too short to reach totally out of the casing, so you'll have to persevere and turn the keys a quarter turn a time until you uncrew all four. You'll also need to take unscrew two of the wheels to provide enough area for the key to turn. It took me ages!

Be careful here not to break the screw housings on the case.

Then you'll probably need to replace the switch - if you're lucky, you may just need to click the switch back into its housing, but most likely the switch retainers have broken. I have not yet found retailers who supply the exact switch. for the time being I have used a switch I had lying around and made a temporary repair. It works, and I think any switch of the correct size will do (but it needs to have an LED indicator built into it.

I havent yet started looking for the part but I should not think it will be difficult to locate (Maplins etc. would surely have an appropriate switch.

By the way the switch used by Polti is really not very good -its flimsy and breaks too easily imo.

Generic problem for all Vacuums
WHERE CAN I GET A
WHERE CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT MANUAL FOR MY NEW HOOVER VACUUM BOUGHT IN NORTHERN IRELAND

I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure
I am not sure as to where to find the owners manual for the Hoover Vacuum in Northern Ireland – is to look in the yellow pages of the phone book under vacuums or to call the Hoover Co in the United States and they will be able to help you by mailing the owners manual to the customer to sometimes you can down load the owners manual on the Hoover website

Sadly, the advice I got from Eureka was "Time for a new attachment". They can tell where to find a service agent. Call the service agent, and ask if Eureka has solved this problem. Don't waste your time trying to fix it - believe me, it's not worth it unless you are a master with switches, etc.

If Eureka has come up with a new design for that upholstery attachment, the service guy will know because millions are having problems with it (by the looks of it!). I also heard this model was discontinued, but I did not hear that from Eureka when I phoned about my problem.
