Hoover Wind Tunnel 2

This is my 2nd unit... first one quit and vacuum repair said replacement would be cheaper than a fix.
But same trouble happened with 2nd one. Multiple times the Wind Tunnel 2 just quits. No pre-noise or any other warning (except maybe lower suction for a while. Nothing is jamming hoses, etc.
If I take the hour or so it takes me to open and clean the paper filter super well (not supposed to need that and access is not easy) it will run again for a while.
I suspect the fine carpet powder we used weeks ago clogged that filter. No more Hoovers for me. Vacuums should last for many years.
