I dont know what it is,.. i have changed the bag, anyone know what i should do? i only spent 59.00 on it, and i am sure servicing it is going to be almost the same price.. Is it time for a much BETTER vacumm? I only bought this one about 6 months ago...

Re: My Vacumm Smells...
You might try gettting some of that powdered carpet cleaner, and sprinkling that down and vacuming that up, or even baking powder. Maybe follow that with some pot-pourri? My vacume smelled of pine needles and Christmas trees every time I turned it on until I changed the bag last month, but since you've changed your bag, it may be an odor that is in the hose. It's worth a try before you buy a new one.

I agree with Karen. I use those powered carpet cleaners and my vaccuum smells delicious! Definitely give it a try.

Could it also be the belt? If you vacumed something you shouldnt of, coulda burned the belt up.. that smell wouldnt go away till you changed it

Re: My Vacumm Smells...
That's what happened to me... I vacuumed something I shouldn't have...and burned the belt!! It stunk mightily. Mind you, it was just the 2nd time I used my $250 vacuum!!
DH bought a new belt for a buck and changed it! Good as new!
