Yeah, pour some nice lye down the suction side of the vacuum and enjoy it coming out the other end in your face. Unless I am missing something like it being a joke, it is a formula for blindness.....needs to be mentioned at least......Joe

Or, you could always take it outdoors, reverse the hose to the exhaust side, and blow the obstruction into the neighbor's yard.
Of course, most of my small appliance repair is done with a claw hammer, and a click on the Amazon "buy now" button.

Most popular drain cleaners are lye. Picture not clear, looked like a funnel. I am wired to prevent folks from hurting themselves and blaming it on me, having some "DIY" books on the market.
Yeah, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but paranoia knows no bounds when you are waiting to get sued......Joe

Granddaughter was using my sweeper when she came to me and complained that it just didn't seem to
"sucking up the dirt" like she thought it should. I suggested the reverse-and-blow-it-out solution. Out came much dust, cat hair, general dirt and a tightly-wadded 20 dollar bill. No one knows whence it came but it made for one of our better family stories.
