Why do you have poor suction when vacuuming?

Most likely due to one of two reasons: - a blocked tube or the recepticle being full The reason why is because when you vacuum up stuff, there is dust everywhere. the dust gets into the pipes and the suction has to work harder to get to picking up certain items. The bigger and heavier the object is, the harder it is to pick it up.
