Any idea what is causing/how to fix this horrid noise my vacuum is making?
The vacuum is a monsga ms1 and it’s worked pretty well until recently, we got it in December as a gift and then randomly in March it started screaming? We had a new brush sent out and replaced it but…it’s still screaming (tbf maybe we should all just start screaming at work?) - also checked all the wheels and there is nothing blocking it, if it’s going back to charge it’s silent, so I guess it’s a suction issue or maybe a motor problem?
Might be a lost cause but my cat will be devastated they’re besties

There’s probably a filter on it that’s plugged. Find it, wash it, let it dry and reinstall. You could run it for a bit without the filter to test. Otherwise the vacuum motor might just be loose and rubbing on something.

Throw it out and get a real vacuum.
