Is anyone having a problem with the head separating from the stick part? How does it go back on?

Have had th unit for a couple of months, and so far no problem like this. Try contacting Hoover?

I have had the same problem just last week. The plastic piece on one side, that holds the nozzle in place from the inside, broke. I do not have any idea why. I only use this vacuum for daily very light clean up after dinner. Have had this unit for 17 months and am not happy with the quality of the parts.

Yes, mine broke off too after a short time. I was told there was no way to fix it, and that no one else ever has that problem.

I've had mine for about 4 months and have never had this problem with it. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I'd suggest contacting Hoover to get it replaced.

I have two Hoover Flairs -- purchased in 2010 and 2013 -- and, unfortunately cannot help. Neither has ever had the head separate from the stick part and we use them both lots. The older one cleans the lanai while the newer one is used inside. Thus, I wonder if yours might be a defective item or ??? Good luck.

I haven't tried what you've tried-taking it apart. I just clean it with water, but I haven't taken it apart. At least yours makes a noise! It seems to me like the sound gets weaker and weaker until the thing stops working. I was surprised mine actually turned on today on the first attempt.

Dear back of player challenged,I had the same problem with mine. I handed it to my boyfriend and he got it off in less than 2 seconds. Here is how you do it. Hold the player in your right hand with your thumb running along the length of the back of the player, use your left hand to pinch the sides of the player near the headphone port for support. Press down slightly and slide your thumb toward the USB port. I promise it will come off. Now that I can do it, it is cool and I have taken it off about 10 times for the heck of it. Good luck!Tiff

Mine doesn't snap in place either. My son pulls it out all the time to play with it. It hasn't broken yet and he's pretty rough with it.

I have never detached the tilt locking head and I will be afraid that I will not be able to put it back together. It happened prior to this new mixture. So, I suggest that you get the hand mixture. Thank you.

Funny, you probably superglued it on (like me), since it comes off so easily! Lock down the clamp on the post, and on the head, then rip the bugger off!

Spoke with customer service who states this is a relatively common problem that occurs during shipping. Apparently, the magnet cap (inside the pre-assembled body) comes loose and gets stuck on fly-wheel. They gave me the option of having a special tool shipped to my home so I could do the repair myself, or have a technician come to the house to repair it. It will take 7-10 days to schedule an appointment (which I opted to do). They were very nice and helpful on the phone and I await the technician. Hoping for a good outcome. Will post results. Feeling hopeful.

I had the finish on the back side right under the head flake off after about 1 year of use. Six months later I had that part replaced under warranty. There is no more stenciled text on it, which is where I believe the flaking started. That was about 10 months ago. Now I see that at the edge of that part the finish starts to separate again. A few days the lock button on the side stopped doing its job. It just moves freely. Dunno if anything broke though because there is nothing rattling inside and I do not recall anything falling out. I think it is rather hard to miss a piece fall out. Maybe some part in there is just stuck with stubble accumulation.

Mine just pulls off, no twisting or clicking or anything, wondering if you bought the same kind, other brands may not have the exact size heads where they fit on the unit

I have decided to place a clean popsicle stick under the blue lid to keep some separation to make de-molding easier - - does that make sense - I lay the stick along the middle division then place the blue lid and then insert the sticks, it wiggles a little but is not an issue really . . and I agree that the removing of the pops are super easy and quick!

I've been very happy. The head on ours does not move downward. The sound has not had any problem. I would ask for a replacement.

I haven't had any issues with it separating at all. My mom's is a few years older and even hers hasn't separated. It's wearing in places, but not separating. Maybe a defective one?

Those blue clips that are part of the head gear need to be replaced. Those clips do that when they get old. I used to have the same problem stopped whenI bought new head gear. I cannot remember if you can buy those clips separate or not

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

Ours is still attached and working fine. I told the kids up front not to push down hard on it...the on/off click requires little pressure. I'm assuming the broken buttons were the result of to much pressure.
