Is it ok to suck up beads/ very small legos

[theboss]

I was using my Eureka TheBoss 1934, and when I sucked up some beads it was making some weird noises. Will they damage my vacuum?

Yes they can potentially damage the fan but I have done it thousands of times myself,with only one or two mishaps.

If the beads are plastic, it's unlikely to cause any damage to the Lexan fan, same with the Lego, about the only thing they could do is make the belt skip off the pulley, but other than that it's not going to be a problem...
