A favorite toy but the suction got so weak that it does not attach anything any more, even with hot water etc. Any suggestion to revive it?

Just got this,still brand new,no problem so far. If the suction doesn't work, can you use tape? Worst way,but probably works

We had the same problem and I'd love to hear back as well. This was after a year or so of use.

Same problem here. Great toy, but it sure is fragile. Maybe take to a Hobby Shop? Haven't done it yet.

I haven't had that issue but it's mostly been used as a catch all for my baby's toys. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they would replace it.

It sounds like there is no suction. You may need to clean or replace the filters. That was my experience.

Yes my kids loved it (until the 4 yr old cut the recharge cord in half) - can't find replacement parts for it though -sigh

My machine has been well-used for an elderly dog and then a puppy, but I have only had it about two years. It started developing leaks, and then I noticed that the dirty water container was not filling up. It seemed that all the dirty water was collecting in the bottom and leaking out on the ground. I have been limping along with it like that, but last time, it was a mess. I know I need a new one since yesterday, we had another vomit experience and my son just had a bloody nose all over the carpet. Gotta love the SpotBot!

I understand your frustration with this toy, as we have experienced the same issues... I immediately changed the batteries, which helped, but overall it's just a very cheaply made toy. It still works, several months later, but only when stroked lightly with the stick not by hand. I was expecting more, but in the end, my 3 year old likes it well enough the way it is, so we kept it. She actually played with it just today! Hope this helps.

I am sorry to say that the same thing happened to me and I could find no info on replacement parts. I ended up junking the machine which was a shame as I really liked it. Sorry I can't be od help.

Good Luck , they don't have parts for this item , my son found a place in Cleveland to take them for repairs but it will be out of your pocket . Its a shame they don't stand behind there warranty. It is a great vacuum when it is not broken but it seems to have a lot of flaws the handle also breaks very easily. Sorry I couldn't help you

I really loved it and raved about it, but after about 6 months it would constantly get stuck with not being able to lift the soiled litter. I had to stop using it, but I never got around to contacting the company. I moved on to a automatic circular one, and it didn't work either. Moved on to a 3 pan system where one is a sifter type pan, and I sift it manually. I wonder how long yours lasted.

i took sweeper all apart in attempt to fix this also i ended up breaking the vacuum and it was just over 1 year old. I was very careful it was a mess i broke a piece and still never regained full suction. I went out and bought a shark professional vacuum

If your product doesnt work, email who you got it from request a replacement or total refund including shipping and handeling. We are going to be buying a bigger one our boys love ours so really hope yours gets to working or you try a new one!

I've had mine at least a few years and it works just as good as the first day. I'd suggest bringing it to the store and asking for a replacement. They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Or go the the manufacturer's web site and contact them.

I looked at mine. I do not see anything that looks like a way to re-attach. Perhaps yours broke? Like others have said, some super glue may be the answer.

I purchased this one from Amazon and found it was defective too. From the beginning, it did not make sound or move easily, i.e., you have to press its paws or somewhere really very hard to get it to act. After a while, it did not move at all. We contacted the toy maker and they sent us a shipment tag to mail the toy back. They are willing to refund it as the toy is not in inventory. But we have not received the refund check yet. It may take a while though. We ordered the second one from Amazon for our daughter as she really loves this toy. The second one is wonderful. She has it for over 2 weeks and it is perfect still.

I also purchased this and love it! My vacuum works so well. Perhaps yours has a glitch or is a lemon for some reason. I know one thing, the manufacturer stands behind their product. Simply contact them through their website and let them know what has happened. They will definitely help you out.They are a family owned company with great values. Contact them!

No, return it or better yet ask to have a new plug shipped to you, pretty sure that would work. Our table is my 13 months old favorite toy, she absolutely loves it. It's perfect and small for her. We have a bigger sand/water table and she has no interest. I highly recommend, worth replacing and not totally returning.
