Why is my Kogan SMARTERHOME G80 not charging?

  nbrownAug 21, 2025
  If your Kogan Vacuum Cleaner is not charging, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the indicator light is illuminated. If not, move the vacuum away from the auto-empty dock and check again. Also, ensure the power cord is securely connected. Another potential issue is that the charging contacts on the auto-empty dock and the vacuum might not be properly connected; try cleaning these contacts. Finally, make sure the side brushes aren't covering the charging contacts; if they are, adjust the brushes to expose the contacts.

  If your Kogan Vacuum Cleaner's cleaning performance has declined, there are several things you can check. First, there might be dust build-up in the filter, so try cleaning or replacing it. Also, the dustbin could be full, so empty it. Finally, the roller brush might be entangled with foreign objects; clean the roller brush to resolve this.

  If your Kogan Vacuum Cleaner isn't turning on, there are a couple of things to check. First, the battery level might be too low. Try placing the vacuum against the charging contacts of the auto-empty dock to charge it. The vacuum should then turn on. Another reason might be that the ambient temperature is outside the 0–40°C range. Make sure you're using the vacuum within this temperature range.
