  You’ve got the barrel right. Watch it and when the shit stops spinning, empty it. Then after every third empty, pull it apart and clean the filters with a stiff paint brush. Tap the shit out of them over a bin. No need to wash them.

  Put them back together and see if there’s better suction.

    This one doesn’t have a barrel like that, it’s a plastic canister with holes in it with a small fabric bag inside. I’ll see if rinsing or washing helps

      Tbh. Without a pic I can’t advise what to do but washing it is only gonna create mud. If it’s anything like a dust buster then turn the bag inside out and brush out as much as you can.

        It does look a bit coated with dust so I could try to tap it a lot but don’t want sacrifice a paintbrush. I’m not sure if it’s too delicate to rinse.

        Perhaps I might be able to find an equivalent or close enough spare part
