Get a younger, newer model, that'll do the trick.

(In all seriousness have you checked filters, emptied any bags etc?)

You are using the wrong end.

Try turning it the other way up

Like men they are usually mechanically very simple

Has someone done something to it between last use and this one?

They normally have a flappy like valve somewhere thing to stop air going back out of them. When blocked they scream like a banshee because this valve stops said air back flowing.

Strange conundrum

Pine needles from the tree stuck in the hose? That’s what happened to mine earlier this week. Cleaned everything else and this was the last thing to check!!! Hope you get it sorted

Are you sure it’s not a leaf blower?
