FAQs

Is this Shark vacuum cleaner bagless?

Yes, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap Corded Vacuum Cleaner is entirely bagless. It features an easy-to-empty dust cup.

What does 'Anti Hair Wrap Technology' mean?

Anti Hair Wrap Technology is a feature that actively removes hair from the vacuum's brush-roll as you clean. This prevents hair from tangling around the brush-roll, ensuring consistent performance and reducing maintenance.

Can I use this vacuum on both carpets and hard floors?

Absolutely. The DuoClean floorhead is designed to seamlessly clean both carpets and hard floors. The two brush-rolls work together to optimize cleaning for each surface without needing to switch attachments.

How long is the power cord?

This model features an extra-long 10-meter (approximately 33 feet) power cord, providing extensive reach for cleaning larger areas without frequently changing outlets.

How do I clean the filters?

The pre-motor filters should be rinsed with cold water monthly and allowed to air dry for at least 24 hours. The post-motor (HEPA) filter typically requires cleaning annually. Always refer to your product's user manual for specific instructions and recommended cleaning intervals.

Is this vacuum good for homes with pets?

Yes, this vacuum is specifically designed for homes with pets. It includes Anti Hair Wrap Technology to prevent hair tangles and comes with a dedicated Anti Hair Wrap Pet Tool for effectively removing embedded pet hair from upholstery and carpets.

How does the Flexology wand help with storage?

The Flexology wand allows the vacuum to bend in half, significantly reducing its height. This enables compact, freestanding storage in smaller spaces like cupboards or utility rooms, making it easy to store away when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum has no power or stops working.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the wall switch is on. Check the circuit breaker if other devices in the same outlet are also not working. If the vacuum overheats, it might automatically shut off; allow it to cool down for at least 45 minutes before restarting.

Loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.

Empty the dust cup if it's full. Clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters thoroughly, allowing them to air dry completely. Check the hose, wand, and floorhead for any blockages or obstructions. Ensure all connections are secure.

Brush-rolls are not spinning.

Ensure the vacuum is in the correct floor mode (carpet or hard floor) as some modes might affect brush-roll speed. Check for any large obstructions or debris caught in the brush-roll area, even with Anti Hair Wrap technology. Make sure the floorhead is properly attached to the wand.

Vacuum is difficult to push or maneuver.

Ensure the correct floor setting is selected; some carpet settings can create more resistance on hard floors. Check for any debris caught in the wheels. The swivel steering should make it easy to move, so ensure there are no obstructions affecting its movement.

Unusual noises coming from the vacuum.

Turn off and unplug the vacuum immediately. Check the brush-rolls, hose, and floorhead for any foreign objects that may be causing the noise. If the noise persists after checking for obstructions, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
  2. Assemble: Click the main vacuum body, Flexology wand, and DuoClean floorhead together until they securely lock into place. No tools are typically required.
  3. Attach Tools: Select and attach the desired cleaning tool (e.g., Crevice Tool) to the end of the wand or directly to the handheld unit for specific cleaning tasks.
  4. Plug In: Insert the 10m power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

Compatibility

  • Floor Types: Fully compatible with all floor types, including deep-pile carpets, low-pile rugs, hard floors (wood, laminate, tile), and vinyl. The DuoClean floorhead adjusts to optimize cleaning for each surface.
  • Environments: Ideal for homes with pets due to its specialized Anti Hair Wrap Pet Tool and tangle-free brush-rolls. Suitable for households with long hair.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Empty Dust Cup Regularly: For optimal suction and performance, empty the dust cup after each use or when the debris reaches the 'Max Fill' line. Simply detach, open, and dispose of contents.
  2. Clean Filters: The vacuum features pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters. Refer to your user manual for specific cleaning intervals, but generally, pre-motor filters should be rinsed with cold water monthly and air-dried completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Post-motor filters typically need to be cleaned annually.
  3. Check Brush-rolls: While Anti Hair Wrap technology significantly reduces tangles, occasionally check the brush-rolls for any large debris or blockages that might reduce effectiveness. The floorhead has easy access for clearing any obstructions.
  4. Wipe Down Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the vacuum. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
  5. Storage: Utilize the Flexology feature to fold the wand down for compact, freestanding storage in a closet or utility space.
