FAQs
Is this vacuum suitable for pet hair?
Yes, absolutely. The Shark Corded Stick Vacuum Cleaner features Anti Hair Wrap Technology specifically designed to actively remove pet hair (and long human hair) from the brush-roll, helping to keep it tangle-free and maintaining consistent performance.
How often should I clean the filters?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to rinse the pre-motor filter monthly and the post-motor filter annually (or as needed based on usage) with cold water. Ensure they are completely air-dried for at least 24 hours before reinserting them.
Can I use this vacuum on hard floors and carpets?
Yes, the DuoClean floorhead is specifically designed to clean both hard floors and carpets effectively. The soft front brush-roll handles hard floors, while the bristle brush-roll cleans deep into carpets, allowing for seamless transition between surfaces.
What is Flexology and how does it benefit me?
Flexology refers to the flexible wand that bends to easily clean underneath low-lying furniture without you having to stoop down. It also allows the vacuum to fold down for compact, freestanding storage, saving space in your home.
How long is the power cord?
The vacuum comes with an extra-long 10-meter power cord, providing extensive reach and allowing you to clean larger areas without frequently unplugging and replugging.
Does this vacuum come with any accessories?
Yes, it typically includes a Crevice Tool for tight spaces and a Multi-Surface Tool for versatile cleaning tasks on various surfaces like upholstery and stairs.
Is there a guarantee or warranty with this product?
Yes, Shark offers a 5-year guarantee upon registration with Shark, covering manufacturing defects and ensuring peace of mind for your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not picking up dirt or suction is weak.
Check if the dust bin is full and needs emptying. Inspect the filter(s) to ensure they are clean and dry; wash if necessary. Check the hose, wand, and floorhead for any blockages that might be impeding airflow.
Hair is still wrapping around the brush-roll despite Anti Hair Wrap technology.
While Anti Hair Wrap significantly reduces tangles, it might not remove every single strand, especially with extremely long or fine hair. Manually check the brush-roll and remove any stubborn hair or debris that might be causing a slight buildup. Ensure the brush-roll is spinning freely.
LED headlights are not working.
Ensure the vacuum is properly plugged into a live power outlet. If the issue persists, check for any visible damage to the cord or floorhead connection. If the bulbs are replaceable (Info needed: confirm if bulbs are user-replaceable), consult the user manual for instructions or contact customer support.
