I have had the suction stop completely on the attachments. Call Dyson to troubleshoot. They had me remove (two different times) noodle shaped plastic pieces (once it was purple and the other time silver) from the outside of the vacuum. It took a minute to do. Inside was a bent pen and all sorts of debris that wrapped around it. Removed all, and it worked beautifully again. It had nothing to do with the filter, which I had cleaned several times to no avail.

Have you examined the hose to see if it is plugged. take a broom handle and gently push it thru the hose if it doesn't have bends in it.
