Kind sir, thank you for saving my Shark. I had done all the steps, new filters, cleaned brush roll, etc. Had it squeaky clean and yet it had no suction. Because of you I checked the hose! It was incredibly clogged, i pulled out all the packed junk with a 12 inch wire w/tiny hook on the tip (made it myself with dental tools from the 70s). So much stuff came out!. Once battery went through the hose, and I assembled machine back, it worked like it was brand new! No damage caused to the hose because my wire rig was tiny and I was gentle.

Thank you good sir! You just solved our loss of suction issue. Roller wheel was extremely clogged with dog hair and carpet freshener powder was built up in hoses. Everything was cleaned and unclogged and yet there was no suction. I pulled up your video and you showed the motor exhaust filter --- the exhaust filter was totally clogged with carpet freshener and didn't suck - feared the motor was blown😦. Banged the filter semi clean and Voila! DO NOT USE POWDERED CARPET FRESHENER in these vacuums! Thank you so much for showing ALL the nooks and crannies on this vacuum!

Thank you 👍🏻. This is the first video I've watched on the subject having gone through all the filters already. So it's good to know that I found all the filters just through going over the machine and there's a few other bits I found that made it easier to get to the hoses. The part where you said drop a big battery through the hose was fantastic advice, something I hadn't thought of. And promptly I found out where the blockage was! I put a 3.7 volt 3000mah battery through and it promptly got stuck, So using the old windmill technique it helps to dislodge the blockage and a flat tooth screwdriver. So a massive thank you to you for posting this video, brilliant job, You're a star. ❤

I have had the rotator for years and only washed out the round foam filter. The flat round filter that’s below it I never touched thinking that it couldn’t be washed. Always wanted to get to the exhaust filter but never knew how to take it off. Just kept putting it off. It’s just a vacuum. I will get around to it I kept telling myself over the years. Only lost suction one time years ago. Trash was caught in the flex hose. Easy fix. I finally bought the flat round and exhaust filter online and needed to know how to get the exhaust cover off. Which brought me to his video. My luck the first video I click and wow. Thank you very much for the very thorough explanation and cleaning process. I feel like the engineers have thought of everything and I’ve made a great purchase now.

This gentleman explained each aspect of what to clean and how in an understandable manner. The visual details he provided were exceptional. Two things he mentioned made an impact on me. The first being the use of antibacterial wipes and where. Thinking of using them was too much like right. 🙄 The second thing he mentioned, and emphasized, made me gasp. I had no idea there were electrical wires in the long hose. I have the Shark Powered Lift-Away with the Anti-Allergen Seal, and my task for today was to perform an interior deep clean. The items I intended to use were close to items he stated should never be used. We’ll consider those “the things we do not mention.” Excellent, informative, and vacuum saving presentation. Thank you. Shark should have his presentation their website under the maintenance menu website, on how to clean your Shark Vacuum. But that would also fall under “too much like right.” It’s apart of how they make money. Ooh, did I thank this gentleman? Thank You!

A trick for cleaning the hose and wand after separating them is to get a piece of small rope longer than those, and tie it to a cleaning rag. Dampen the rag with a bit of a mild multi-purpose cleaner or slightly soapy water. Then run the rope through to the other end, and wad up the rag a bit as you stuff it in the hose or tube. Should be some friction, but not to the point where it's difficult to pull through. Thus you can get the insides of those pretty clean with a few passes pulling the rag all the way through like that if there was anything sticking on there. Also make sure things are thoroughly dry before using it again. Different than dealing with big clogs, but will deal with any moldy/musty smells still coming from the vac if the lower parts have already been cleaned. Also if plastics on floor attachments or wheel rubber gets dirty with anything sticky, a cloth sprayed with foaming tub/shower cleaner will do a bang-up job on them. Let it dampen those spots for a bit, and it should wipe off real easy a few minutes later. A lot of modern showers have a molded plastic liner, so that cleaner tends to be safe on plastics even though it's strong at breaking up dirt and gummy stuff. You may want to wear gloves for that though.

Thanks for the video. I regularly clean the two pre-motor filters, and was wondering if there was another I wasn't aware of. Sure enough, there was. But sadly, while finding that filter, I discovered that the small internal hose is split. I'll email Shark, but my machine is 10-11 years old, so I'm not hopeful. On the plus side, it has worked well for the past 10-11 years; this is the first problem I've had with it. Thanks again for the video.

So glad I’ve been doing all the right things! Probably why it’s been great for 6 years up to now. Does the brush have a belt that turns it? Mine is not turning and I thought I’d ask before I tore it apart. It works so much better with the brush, I can’t hardly push it without the rotator working. It also doesn’t pick up much on my thick carpet with out it. I’m using my Shark Stick until I find an answer.

I would also say they have made this vacuum harder to service. They have changed all the fasteners to T20, wires within the head are now passed through plastic before attached. Many don't realise that there is a motor in the head that powers the brush to turn. The lower hose is now one piece and not screwed in on opposite lock. Also some of the parts inside are very easily broken, esp the mech that allows it to stand upright. Trust me I have tore down this machine to its bare components. Think I may have to buy a new one as mines has a noise from the air release vent which I have also taken out and checked.

Well, the old cleaner was about 3 years old and I was happy to get a brand new one for £10.

Also I have another 4 years guarantee so overall I think it was good value. I didn’t have to accept the new cleaner, I could have waited for a new nozzle to come back into stock but I wanted the new vacuum!

There was a whistling sound coming out of a small vent so I thought that was it. I threw it out and bought another Shark because I like how the old one served. This new one again lost suction today and I went through this steps and its back to being new. If I knew this earlier, the tossed out one would have been saved from the dumpster. Manufacturers I believe are not yhis thorough to continue yo make sales. Not nice.

But on mine, on the right side of the vacuum at the bottom of the long tub, there's a plastic cap that can be opened. While the vacuum was on, I opened it, then closed it, and now the whole thing is fixed! I'm guessing there was some blockage I didn't see or something, and messing with the suction in that way cleared it out.
