Product Information
Full details
The Shark Navigator Upright Vacuum is designed for homeowners who need to tackle large cleaning jobs with fewer interruptions. Its key benefit is the extra-large dust cup, reducing the frequency of emptying. A potential caveat is its upright design, which may require more effort for certain cleaning tasks compared to canister vacuums. This vacuum features an XL dust cup for extended cleaning, specialized tools for above-floor and crevice cleaning, and Shark's Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology to trap dust and allergens.

How do I store the vacuum and its accessories?

Troubleshooting
Vacuum has reduced suction power.
Check if the dust cup is full and empty it. Clean or replace the filters as they may be clogged. Inspect the hose, wand, and brush roll for any blockages.
Brush roll is not spinning.
Ensure the brush roll setting is appropriate for the floor type. Check for tangled hair or debris around the brush roll and clear it. Some models have a reset button for the brush roll.
Vacuum will not turn on.
Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check for any thermal cut-off; allow the vacuum to cool down if it has overheated.
Strange noise during operation.
Inspect for blockages in the airflow path. Ensure all parts, including the dust cup and hose, are properly attached. A foreign object caught in the brush roll can also cause noise.
