The answer is simple...vacuums with filters allow air and anything finer than the size of the filter holes to pass through...if you hold a light over your bag and turn the vac on, you will see an explosion of fine dust coming from the bag...Vacs work on airflow, so the less air flowing through the bag, the less dirt you pick up...clogged bag = no airflow=no cleaning. Bagless vacs should have the filters cleaned after every use, and the canister emptied and washed. Buy a Rainbow to eliminate these problems.
If your Dyson cordless vacuum is pulsing on and off with the filter in place, the filter may need a wash. I'd also strongly recommend checking the bin inlet, wand and motorised floor tool for any blockages, following the steps shown in our video guide:
When you check the bin inlet, make sure the bin inlet flap is able to open and close freely, and that no debris is jamming it in place.
I'm confident this will resolve the issue.

We'll be able to talk you through some simple diagnostic checks when you have your machine fully charged and easily to hand.
Push the tabs on each side of the canister at the same time and pull down on the bottom(black part). You will see a light blue filter paper that is held on with a black plastic ring that is pushed all the way towards the motor. Pull that ring off and the blue filter paper comes off. You can buy new ones at Wal Mart, but it's only necessary after it starts getting ragged. Just take it outside and shake it real good and put back on the same way it was on before.
The foam just is put over the round center beneath the top of vacumn with top off the bucket. Just slide up to top of round assembly and you good to go. If you have the paper bag filter on remove it first.
Just use the sponge filter, if wet dust goes through the blades, it will build up, throw it off balance and the vacuum blades will break loose from the shaft.
When you use the shop vac for cleaning up water you must remove the filter.
The filter is for dust particles not for water
I would replace your filter and dump the water out from the shop vac, Also after each time you vacuum up water dump it out of shop vac.
the ring goes over the filter insid the vac where the filter is.take the filter out and cleanit real good then put it back on.now the ring goes over the filter and get pushed all the way to the top and pressed on to hold the filter in place
Its activated its thermal cut off. Check the filters - if the paper pleated cone filter is blocked throughly tap it gently to loosen dirt before washing it completely and drying it in a low temp tumble dryer (put it in a pillow case with a towel inside the pillowcase to stop it knocking off the sides in the dryer.) Also check the main dust channels behind the bin and also behind the beater bar as it may well be clogged. Then reinstall everything and check again.
