Thanks so much for this video! My vacuum cleaner had low suction and would turn off after being on for only moments. My husband and I were about to take it to a repair shop, but I'm so glad we didn't. You made this so easy and straightforward.

Thank you so much! This was very helpful even though it didn't solve my problem, but it did help when chatting with Shark customer service. I did everything you showed us and found lots of gunk (child decided to clean rabbit cages using only the vacuum - broom? cloth to scoop up the hay and food and rabbit pellets that didn't make it into the litter box? Goodness no, the vacuum made it so much easier!) When I needed to vacuum the carpet, I could tell there was still something somewhere, but I couldn't find it. The Shark CS had me remove both filters, turn it on while checking to see if there was air flowing in the area where the filters go, then he had me start at the top (while the vacuum was still on) and remove each section. The air flowing is what must have moved the jammed gunk to where I could get to it at the S joint. Finally! Like new again. Thanks for the short, very informative, to the point video! Keep them coming!

My clog was in the circular handle! Turned out that someone (maybe me) vacuumed up a business card. It was wedged in there and caught all the subsequent dog hair I was vacuuming until I lost suction.

This was very informative, thank you. After going through all of these steps, I found that loss of suction on my vacuum was caused by a clog below where the hose detaches. To get to it, looked on the bottom of the brushroll part. There are two little slots that you can turn with a screwdriver or coin, and that will release the tube that comes straight from the brushroll to the the bend up to where the hose connects. That bend was packed full of dog hair. I got what I could with my fingers and a screwdriver, but for lack of anything long and flexible enough to reach the rest of the clog, I shot water down the top of the tube with my kitchen sink sprayer (being very careful not to get anything else wet, and letting it dry before turning on my vacuum). Works like new now.

This is a great video, along with your maintenance video. Had a strange problem where the power cut out on the machine while I was using the wand but the machine lights were still on, both the power light and the search light. The power still worked the machine in the recline position but not in the upright position. (In the upright position there was no machine noise, only the lights worked). I'd cleaned all the parts I knew about and was at a loss to know why it still wasn't working. After watching your video I realised there was a front panel for a filter I'd not checked. We removed that and though we only saw a little dust, after a wipe of the filter and surrounding area followed by replacing the cap, the machine worked again in the upright position. What I relief. I'd just got to the part of your video where you stated "and if that doesn't work you'll need to contact Sharks".
