I just bought a vacuum cleaner from Wal-mart and after it’s third or fourth use it has barely any suction when the hose is plugged into the base. If I unplug the hose it has plenty of suction and can pick things off the floor no problem. I see nothing clogging the hole where it plugs in and nothing obstructing things underneath. It’s a Hoover vacuum cleaner. Thanks!

Roll a marble through the hose to see if it’s plugged.
The filter is probably too dirty. Remove the filter and clean it. You probably have suction without the hose because it is less distance, but when you attach the hose, it takes more power to move the dirt through the hose, so you are noticing the lack of power.
If you are sure that there is nothing blocking the pipes, then there may be a leak so all the suction is lost before the place it’s supposed to do the work. It’s actually the air flow that does the work.
It can be dirty… But I think it’s because the button that leans the vaccuum back and standing is broken somehow… that’s the mechanism that would determine how it sucks in.
its probably just worn out already. i think maybe the suction is having a hard time traveling through the hose because its just not strong enough. i would take it back and see if you can replace it.
might be clogged, or if you live with women there is alot of hair wrapped around the brush keeping it from moving. you have to look close for the hair because it doesnt rest on top of the bristles but around the cyleneder under the bristles. cut the hair off if it is there should fix it, also stick a screwdriver through the hold under the base while its off then turn it on and continue you might break something free.
Throw a ball or some small heavy object into the hose and see if comes out of the other end of the hose. When you do this make sure that the hose is unattached to the vacuum. If the object comes out of the other end then the hose is clear and the problem is somewhere else but I think that the hose is clogged up. I also came across an article that speaks about vacuum use – I have not read it all but I leave a link below – just in case you interested.
