FAQs
Is this vacuum suitable for pet hair?
Yes, it is highly suitable for pet hair. It features a Pet Power Brush with Anti-Hair Wrap Technology and an Anti Hair Wrap Plus floorhead specifically designed for ultra-powerful hair pickup and preventing hair tangles.
What is the dust bin capacity?
The dust bin has a capacity of 0.3 Litres. It should be emptied regularly to maintain optimal performance.
Can I clean under furniture with this vacuum?
Yes, the Flexology wand is designed to bend, allowing you to easily clean under low-lying furniture like sofas and beds without needing to move them.
How long is the power cord?
The vacuum comes with a long 10-meter power cord, providing extensive reach for cleaning large areas without frequently changing outlets.
Does it work on both hard floors and carpets?
Yes, the DuoClean Detect Technology with two brush-rolls and Floor Detect automatically adjusts suction and brush-roll speed, making it effective on both hard floors and carpets.
Is this a bagless vacuum cleaner?
Yes, the Shark PowerDetect Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner is a bagless model, meaning you simply empty the dust directly from the bin.
Does it help with allergies?
Yes, it features Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology, which captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, preventing them from being released back into the air.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not turning on or has no power.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch on the vacuum and ensure it is in the 'On' position. If using an extension cord, ensure it is rated appropriately and functioning.
Loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
Check if the dust bin is full and needs emptying. Inspect and clean all filters (pre-motor and post-motor) as per the care instructions, ensuring they are completely dry before re-installation. Check the hose, wand, and floorhead for any blockages and remove them carefully.
Brush-rolls are not spinning or are intermittent.
Ensure the vacuum is in the correct cleaning mode for your floor type (Floor Detect should handle this automatically, but ensure no large obstructions are jamming the brush-rolls). Power off and unplug the vacuum, then check the brush-rolls and floorhead for any tangled hair, string, or debris that might be preventing them from rotating freely. Remove any obstructions.
