The poor design of the suction hose segments from the nozzle base to the bag chamber of my Riccar Vibrance clogs routinely. The hose segments are oriented with the male side facing into the airflow. Hair and and other small debris jams into the sharp exposed joint and jams form. If Riccar had reversed the orientation of the male and female connections on that hose there would be no jams. The Panasonic Jet Flo design the Riccar Vibrance is a copy of doesn't have those joints in their suction hose and they don't suffer jams. As it is now the vacuum is self jamming so I don't use it.Just once, I'd love someone to clearly show a repeatable methodology anyone can follow to reproduce a 'clog' using the machine as intended and instructed by the manufacturer. I mean, clogs are easy to make if you abuse or neglect a product, but that doesn't count. Interestingly, such a method has never materialised despite all the claims. Funny that...
