    So far so good with this vacuum. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

    My parents had this exact Shark vacuum. My mom claimed it was broken after a month. They bought a new Hoover. I said I’ll take the Shark if you’re going to throw it away. Now I just figured out how to fix it. It is literally as good as new now! Thank you!

  • @ShadowsandCityLights
    @ShadowsandCityLights 4 года назад +1

    Ours is making a grinding noise, cleaned and check everything on the video. I'm assuming it's something with the motor or if it has a belt/gears. But I found that there are a ton of screws so I'm to worried to try and check it. Hopefully I find a video of someone taking it apart.

  • @BobbyMacey
    @BobbyMacey 3 года назад +8

    Solid vid. Helped us out despite having a newer Shark model than this. For us, instead of having to undo the panel on the bottom with a flat head, our tube is about 8 inches and it's placed on the side. The end connected to the brush portion of the vacuum twists off and the other end connected to the "spine" of the vacuum snaps on/off with a push and pull mechanism. Our clog was in both spots.
    Thank you!

    @iamamish 2 года назад +7

    You are a life saver! My vacuum stopped working correctly, and while I initially suspected a blockage, I later thought it wasn't blocked because the wand still maintained reasonable suction. I guess it's just a testament to the power of the motor.
    Once I saw your video and realized our vacuums were making the exact same noise, I was able to locate the blockage and clear it. Thanks!

    I have an older ( over 13 year old) Shark Rotator Professional model. This things NEVER loses suction. Keeping filters clean and hoses clear is key! My daughter was 2 1/2 when we purchased this and she just turned 16...I hope it keeps on going. Ours is white with blue trim and I LOVE the grey color of the newer models but I'm not ready to give it up just yet! Lol

    Great info! I have three Sharks right now. None of them have that sucking noise. But it's good to know if any of my trash pick treasures ever do in the future. The swivel mechanism on the UV410 is wonky as it makes maneuvering it unwieldy. Got any vids on that? Also, look for "Battle Of The Shark Navigators: Models NV22L vs NV60 vs UV410" coming soon to a RUclips near you on my channel.

  • @mixedchocolate1012

    @MB0807US 4 года назад +6

    Thank you! I was wondering why the vacuum was making the noise from the side hole/vent. Your step-by-step logical elimination process was very useful. I found a sock hiding inside the main tube. The vacuum no longer makes the noise and is back in service.

  • @fulldecent

    @williamkraig5104 2 года назад

    Question for anyone: My Shark uv540 when I vacuum isn`t picking up anything, and I`ve checked everything--the hose, brush, filters, etc. Also the vacuum is making this really loud grating, screeching noise. Do I need to unscrew the entire brush assembly to look inside it? I do notice there`s a hole near the bottom--could this be the problem?

  • @VeganRocker3
    @VeganRocker3 29 дней назад

    Glad I found your video! I had already done everything BUT the last part. I did it years ago, but completely forgot I could take it apart there. I didn’t try it yet, but regardless if that’s where the clog is or not, I’m thankful I found your video!!

    Man I hope u had a mask on that’s a load of dust lol. I just picked up a navigator lift away from Walmart. What do u feel about the dust bin clip attached to the handle. I’m afraid it’s gonna break. Thanks for the Video. Also on the Rug do u use carpet mode or wood mode. Also I don’t know what to do with the suction release on handle. First time shark buyer I feel like I bought a Lexus.

  • @therenegadeviking1454
    @therenegadeviking1454 2 года назад

    Awesome video sir, thank you. Had that same sound on a shark vacuum cleaner and the main vertical tube was clogged. I had to use a knife to remove the clog. May I suggest a revision on your video title though ( clog sound ?) Because I didn't see anything here on YT with that in the title. Also, thank you for getting right to the point instead of dragging this out into a 30 min BS video (etc)

  • @TT-de7wb
    @TT-de7wb 4 года назад

    I was looking for help with my problem - our Shark Powered Lift-Away pod won't come off the wand. The button goes down, I'm just not sure if it doesn't go down far enough to release it from the wand. It won't budge. So frustrating as this was the reason we bought it! Any thoughts? It seems no one has conquered this problem yet.

  • @nickh1933
    @nickh1933 Год назад

    I have done everything possible with mine and it still doesn't work., it still makes that loud suction noise after 10 seconds of running it. Poorly designed seals and contact points. Ours is only 2 years old, as with most new things on the market these days they are disposable, unlike things I grew up with that lasted decades.

  • @wilsonjb75
    @wilsonjb75 3 года назад

    Mine was clogged at the bottom like he showed and just a little above that or you can take the whole handle off. So it was clogged in two places. I just fixed it after working on it for about an hour, works perfect now. Save me a hundred fifty bucks from Costco

  • @Stars-us4gh
    @Stars-us4gh 3 года назад

    was good video but on the two foam filters i wash them by hand and wring them out , lots dirt comes out , then let air dry. also ,If you do not have a screw driver handy a quarter ( 25 cent coin ) works perfectly : ) for bottom hose , this video shows the top air canister filter which is the first one people forget about , i clean this and solves the high pitch sound 99 percent out of 100.
    Another note ill hand wash n air dry two foam filters once a month : ) . hope this also help adding to this video . : )
