@heffron I cant figure out how to remove mine!

@unaunabated maybe a different model? Mines comes away from machine as seen in photo, the handle is still attached to the hose but there’s no electrical parts in my handle so I can wash it all.  

---

If I’m honest though, the hose is never really that dirty, so it probably doesn’t matter if you can’t get it off.

I'm running out of things to clean during lockdown  mines doesn't disconnect like this xx

Answer 8

This bad boy came yesterday. Love it.  

Answer 9

I put all mine in the bath the other day, the hose, the filter, the wand and the main plastic compartment part. One of my kids had hovered up milk and it stunk  now it’s like new! X

I used a toothbrush to get in the small parts of the plastic holder thing x

How did you disconnect the hose please? xx

@unaunabated there’s a button on the back that says remove the hose I think xx

---

This bit is at the bottom to disconnect but theres nothing to disconnect the hose from the handle at the top xx

@unaunabated I put the whole bit in xx
