Several wind tunnel vacuums report overheating which requires a 30 minute wait for the machine to reset. Any UH70605 owners with similar problems?

I have not had this happen. My suggestion would be to run it on the correct setting. I could see this being an issue if you are using the lower settings on high carpet but ours works just fine

I haven't had overheating issues. My house is small and mostly hard woods except for an area rug. I am amazed by the suction power and love mine. I have only had it a couple months though.

I tend to run it on area rugs and bare hardwood and marble floors. It has not been an issue I have had to deal with.

The red "on" switch has to be held up the entire time the vacuum services are required. Once released, the vacuum does not continue functioning. I've checked the instruction pamphlet several times but am unable to find anything to the contrary.

I am very unhappy with mine. Bought it in 2013 and in less than a year I had many overheating issues. Online just now because I am fed up and will replace, after today vacuuming about 150 square feet of combined tile/carpet and having it overheat and automatically turn off. have tried filters, etc., nothing changes. In addition, from the first time we vacuumed cat and dog hair would clog the connector between hose and bag because of how the two connect. Continually having to manually unclog hair for it to not lose suction. I'm surprised so many people like this model. Wish I had returned promptly to Amazon. I am very unhappy with mine.

I would first try cleaning the air filter on the back, followed by running the machine on full speed for about an hour. If this does not stop it, contact Hoover or Amazon customer support.

i took the laptop off and found that the air blew all around like a fan. Hope that helps.

I've had the very same problem. After three months it has become so congested that the motor labors hard and then the unit stops working altogether. I've twice tried flushing it out with water through the top and bottom. A lot of black debris comes out, but it still doesn't work properly after cleaning. I had to return and get a different unit.

If you're still under warranty, send the unit back. My wife's unit lost suction completely within the first year. The replacement lost suction even quicker. It's too bad you wasted money on this poorly designed product.

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!

It was quiet until this morning when it became quite loud. Called customer service. Nice lady suggested cleaning it, vaccuming fan. Tried it and did not work. Only option is to send it to California for repair. Will take weeks. Not too happy. Only got three months use out of it (and it did not cool below 55).

According to the manual there is a thermal overload protector built into the heater. This will prevent the heater from working again until you have done a reset on it. Reset: unplug heater for 10 minutes for it to cool down. After 10 minutes, plug the heater in again and turn it on. Another trouble shooting tip from the manual: check the thermostat setting and increase it until the unit comes on as it may be at temp. or you may need to clean the heater if it turns on and off. Vacuum intake grills with the brush attachment of the vacuum every two weeks and use a toothbrush to gently loosen any dirt that the vacuum didn't remove.

Not yet....I needs to call Dyson for the THIRD time! They have told me to soak the filter for an hour (that maybe it hadn't really got clean), and to ensure the filter door is in place properly. I am still having issues! It seems to happen after the motor has warmed up, then it is every few seconds. Will let you know if I find out anything that actually works!

Mine vacuum's the dirty water up. Not sure what you are doing wrong or if your machine isn't working properly.

Not yet, but mine is relatively new. I have noticed that the vibration of the machine will slowly change the temp setting though. I am going to try and put it on a towel next time to see if that helps.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

100% agreed. After taking it to the service center, we thought it would be fixed, but it just keeps happening. It's absolutely a design flaw and since I don't have time to be taking the thing apart every time I vacuum, it renders the product useless for me and a total waste of money.

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
