Thank you! I just ordered my first shark and I wanted to get some practice in before I get it. You’re video has made me feel so confident about getting it now. I can’t wait to get it tomorrow and use it then clean it too! Amazing instructor!!!
So educational! I spent 2 hours cleaning mine, same model as this, basically did the tutorial twice (only washed the filters once). My shark looks so much cleaner! I almost went into shock at how much dust came out of my pet motor attachment, which was where I've lost suction the most! Keep doing what you're doing, you're a great help! 👍 🥰
**UPDATE** My shark is working like new now! All the lost suction has returned, I'm so happy! 😍
That's great to hear, thanks very much for the feedback and i am pleased it is working like new.
Thank you for sharing, most videos show how to take it apart but they don't show how to put it back together
I have a Shark Powered Lift Away DuoClean NV801UK. It’s very similar to the machine demonstrated in your video.
The main difference is that my machine doesn’t have the anti hair wrap technology. However the advantage I have, is that I can remove the brush roller for cleaning, by simply pulling it out of the floor head. I know Shark have said to use only water for cleaning the filters etc. However, I too found that my filters still looked dirty when using only cold water, so I made two changes.
I now use warm water and washing up liquid to clean all parts that I used to wash using only cold water. The result is that my filters are virtually white in colour, the bin is totally clean with no smells etc and both rollers are perfectly clean and in pristine condition. I’ve had my machine for three years and as yet have not noticed any ill effects from the use of warm water and washing up liquid. I hope this might save someone from having to fork out for new filters/rollers, just because they have become dirty over time!
Cheers!
Excellent instruction. Gave me the confidence to finally remove and wash the filters! Will gradually work my through the entire machine. Great to find an instructional video that goes so slowly and surely.
My model az9iquk40 seams blockage in hose where bend on handle is what to do .to clear it .thank you
Thank you so much, your video really helped. I didn't know about the 2 filters at the front, for example. Very clear, step by step instructions, I have to say I wasn't very confident without your help - my vacuum has never been so clean!
Thats great to hear, thanks for the feedback.
Very informative and helpful video. I didn’t know where to start cleaning our shark nz801 and now feel more confident to clean it thoroughly tomorrow.
That's great, you will be fine doing it. Good luck
Very well done. A newly widowed friend has given me two Sharks to clean. Your video will be most helpful.
Blessings, Richard
Too much details about your friend 😁
Great step by step instructions to cleaning the vacuum and filters. Plus a reminder how to put it all back together.
Yes!!! Thank you for showing how to put it back together.....I took mine apart but had trouble getting it back together (before I watched this)
Excellent guide, I keep spare filters and change them weekly thanks to our St Bernard! New ones are fitted every six months or so, not expensive off amazon.
If you have an air compressor it makes this a lot easier. Preferably one in a garage or outside.
I tend to wash the filter in a full sink of water, agitating it and squeezing it. It usually takes the 3 sinks of water to clean it. I do this every 2 months and it still works perfectly.
Thumbs up from me, not done a filter clean on mine since I brought it 9 months ago. Just done a full clean on mine thanks for the video.
Love this video was worried about cleaning in case I broke something but very helpful I found cleaning with baby wipes instead of a damp cloth a lot quicker and easier after using the paint brush
Thats great well done. I have used baby wipes before as well and they do a good job. Thanks for the feedback
@@lords-electrical can I use dettol wipes or is it best to use a damp cloth?
Thank you so much I had no clue how to take mine apart.. I didn’t even know the front was a filter lol…
I just wanted to make you aware that you really helped me with my vacume and it saved me a LOT of money
Glad the video was useful for you, thanks very much for the feedback.
This video is going to get a lot of views like the Dyson one. Great job cleaning the cheeky little filters!
Got a couple of Shark vacuums. Great when they work,but they need so much maintainence.
Definitely agree with the previous comment. Gloves and face mask are advisable when cleaning a such a dirty vacuum.
Good point, thanks
If you look after your filters they can last alot longer than 2 years. I leave mine to soak in warm soapy water for half an hour then give them a good rinse. As for the hoover bin I wipe mine with a hot damp soapy cloth after rinsing. It comes up like it's just come out of the box. Love cleaning.
Thanks for the video, really helped during my clean after we had a loss of suction, working great again now!
Great video much easier to clean than I thought.Couldn't find the link to buy new filters.
Extremely well done and helpful. Thank you so much!!
Great video. I couldn't find my instruction booklet and needed to do my first yearly filter clean. I found this so helpful and didn't realise you could take the bit off the bottom with the coin! Thanks so much 👍
This is brilliant, thank you so much! It’s waaay past my bedtime, so I’m off for a snorasaurus… but I’ll be up at the crack of dawn to do battle with this cleaner! Thanks again… you’ve got a new subscriber! All the best & stay safe! 😷
Thanks very much and good luck with cleaning your vacuum
I wash my filters in hot water and washing up liquid ,and they are beautiful and clean after,rinse them in cold water,before I dry them.
Awesome video but i must say that although the sponge filter is fine to wash and re-use the main filter isnt washable. If washed it will clot and cause loss of suction so better to just replace it
Fantastic video, thank you so much. The only thing I would add is to check for blockages at the top of the hose near the curved handle. I had a blockage, and it ended up being here. Really tricky area to see into or reach, so I had to use a bent wire coat hanger to push the item out.
Thank you so much, mine has a blockage in that area I’ve been trying different things for the past month to clear it I’m definitely going to try the hunger.
Thank you for the vid. It would be great if the video is less than 10 mins long or segmented.
Thank you very much. It needed a good cleaning. Very great demonstration.
Thank you for your detailed basic cleaning for the Shark Vacuum. I have the Shark Duo Apex Vacuum, which is pretty much the same as the one you cleaned. It was a big help, so thanks again.😁
Get yourself a small air blower or compressor or even a computer blower and save yourself so much time cleaning. I have a small air compressor in my garage I use to clean fans, computer casings, vacuums and car stuff, it's been invaluable to have just for cleaning dirt away and a huge time saver.
Amazing my shark is working like I've just taken it out of the box 😊 thank you!
Glad it helped!
Really helpful especially the parts you can rinse under water and those you can't. I have used a really weak solution of a well known floral disinfectant in my final rinse of the filters and it make my house smell really nice. Thank you.
What a great tip, thanks for sharing.
Very good and informative video I’ll refer back to this when it’s time to thoroughly clean mine, well done much appreciated.
Always wondered if that little cone filter with screen came off. Guess not, but good idea to brush/rinse to remove film. :)
Thank you for posting this. It's a great appliance and I want to make sure I take good care of it.
Thankyou my sister gave me one of these it just needs a good clean so this is helpful 👍🏻
Amazing thank you so much. Hoover was overdue a clean and this video has helped me so much thank you!
Thanks very helpful in getting the base cover off, where I knew the problem had to be.
Thank you, your video is easy to follow. The step by step instructions are clear.
Glad to know it was helpful for you, thanks for the feedback 👍
Just picked a shark out of the apartment complex dumpster. Totally clogged with gunk and the brush roller was clogged with hair. Filters weren't too bad however ...Just leaving it dry overnight and hope everything works out.
Could be a good find, good luck with it.
Excellent - clear, comprehensive, succinct and thorough - if you’re not a teacher/tutor, you should be.
Thanks for the great feedback
@@lords-electrical you deserve it. Moreover, based on your video alone, I repaired my Nz801, which had started making a horrendous rasping sound when set on carpet mode. I stripped it right down to the component level that you did and thoroughly cleaned every part. The offending item was an inhaler lid jammed behind the main roller, and a surplus of tangled hair which had reduced the suction prior to the noise, but the whe thing works like new again now after the service. I really appreciate your generosity with your time and skill. Cheers, Marco
I’ve just bought this model so this was really useful, thanks for sharing😊
I love this vacuum so much I almost think it’s weird, but thank you for this video!!
You can run the cloth around the roller, just put it next to it and start spinning the roller,it will pull the clothes all the way, and it will be perfectly clean on the backside (top side)
Great tip, thank you 👍
Hi, Good video, but you forgot to mention how to buy new filters so I can have a spare when I clean mine. Thank you so much
You can easily buy them on ebay or amazon...
Thank you so much my hoover really needed cleaning and you show me how to do it, now it works brilliant.
Glad it was useful for you and your vacuum is nice and clean now. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Great video, thank you. At 25:45, you mention clearing blockages down the hose tube; however, is there a way of accessing this? I've got thin plastic wires off an artificial Christmas tree caught in the folds of the inner tube. Is there a way of getting this out? thanks again.
Thank you for an easy to follow video. I enjoyed cleaning my Shark and it's looking brand new
Great to know it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback 😊
I think it's also important to remember that these filters aren't sponges so the less squeezing and scrunching they get the less deformed they'll become and will fit there given orifices as they were intended too,(hazmat suit optional)
What relaxing video to watch. Its a great all the information about the hoover. The orange bit fell off the back plate any suggestions please on what's the best thing to do ?
Thankyou for this video.. ashamed I never cleaned mine.. but it is like brand new 👍
Very good demo/ instruction of how to clean & dismantle Shark Vacuum Cleaner. Many thanks.
Very amusing... I feel I went on a 35 min date with the bloke... we cleaned our Sharks together (although I did mine quicker and had a glass of wine while waiting for him to move on). Favourite comment "There's nothing worse than a dirty vacuum cleaner" !!!!.... Also the comment about there being a female and a German Shepherd in the household made me laugh. Thank you... this was worth the watch. I too do not need gloves or masks to clean a vacuum cleaner!
Brilliant, glad this was useful for you. That would be kind of different, cleaning our vacuums on a date together 😁
@@lords-electrical 😂😂... Well it worked anyway and my vacuum is sucking like mad... The only thing that was awkward was the roller wasn't running smoothly so I used a pointy knife and tweezers around the sides to free it up. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for such an informative step by step guide…..very much appreciate 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, thank you, paint brush technique works very well! However if the hose is blocked like mine, what is the best way to clear it please?
Glad I found this. It gave me confidence to do a deeper clean. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this wonderful informative video. My vacuum was well overdue a service. 😊
Excellent video - really methodical and easy to follow. Thank you - my shark is working again !
Thats great to hear, well done
Many thanks! I wondered how to open up the bottom filter!
Thank you for a through walk through.
You never took the handle out of the top of the wand so they are 2 parts. Wands can then be looked through to check for blockages. Handle/hose can be checked by dropping a small coin into the handle of the disconnected handle/hose part and it should easily run all the way through and drop onto the floor.
Really nice one. Thanks, that really helped.
Really helpful video, thanks! Nicely paced and very thorough and informative! 👍🏻
I was doing alot of this already but some extra tips learned and a really useful video. thank you and keep up the content!
Thanks for the feedback, glad it was useful for you.
thank you so much i thought i had to buy a new one ❤❤❤
NEEDY! Shark has a great cleaner head and great features.... but man are they needy! If Shark and Dyson merged we would have one killer vacuum!
Fantastic video! Saved me a couple hundred quid 👍🏻
MAny thanks for a nice step by step video
Excellent tutorial. Thanks
Very helpful thank you
Excellent video! Thank you. I will try this!
instead of the brush, i would just use a damp cloth. otherwise all that dust is airborne.
Very thorough. Great video. Thank you.
Great to know it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback
Thank you so much really helped me clean. My shark do you have any new washing machine reviews coming let me know thanks
This was SO helpful thank you so much!
No problem, glad the video was helpful for you, thanks for the great feedback
great tutorial, thanks
Great video- easy to follow in real time - thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing mine is making loud weird noises when turned on .is there a place to buy parts
I would check to make sure there isn't a blockage in the vacuum first. Also on a lot of these vacuums they came with a 5 year warranty so check with shark if its still under warranty as they may be able to sort it for you free of charge if there is a genuine fault.
Finally a vacuum I have
The small wheels on either side of the hair removal 'comb' on the floor nozzle - can you remove the wheels to help get at hair tangled around the tiny wheels that stops them turning at all. Just spent ages pulling the hair away with tweezers.., got to be an easier way lol
Yeah they pop out using a flat edged small screwdriver cause that happened to my shark cordless
Thanks. Very informative.
Very helpful video, thanks
Thank you, this was very helpful.
thank you for this. This vid is all about keeping it clean and nothing really about long-term maintenance. Is there anything specific that should be done to prolong the life of the vacuum, (other than keeping it clean and replacing the filters)? Mine is 7-8 years old and still working like a work-horse, but I worry there is something I might need to lube to keep it working for another 5 years. thank you in advance.
basically if you keep the vacuum cleaned and the filters clean then that is as much as you can normally do to prolong the life of a vacuum. Also don't wait for the bin to fill up too much as it can put more of a strain on the motor if the bin is too full.
Thanks for the feedback
@@lords-electrical thanks very much. Yeah, I clean my entire vacuum regularly so I think I'm good to go.
Ideal, quality video very helpful thank you very much.
Great video and very in depth too... thank you 👍
Thank you. My shark currently stinks of dog and I haven’t even had it that long. Any tips for keeping it smelling a bit nicer?!
This can be down to the filters or bin that have been washed but not fully dried before being put back together.
Thanks very much. Very good and informative video. 👍
Is it cyclonic or multi cyclonic or neither? What’s the secret to preventing/slowing the dust getting to the filters in the first place? Presumably frequent emptying . I’ve got a Vax Zen Pet cylinder vacuum cleaner which is remarkably good at keeping its filters clean; so quiet too. No longer made unfortunately, but if I’m ever considering getting another vacuum cleaner I look very carefully to try and get one that seems to have the same layout , so hopefully equally effective .
Nothing is mentioned by Shark about it being cyclonic at all.
You are right that frequent emptying can help the filtration too but you still need to clean and maintain the filters regularly to keep the performance tip top of the vacuum.
Thanks for your service well done 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks 😊 Appriciate ypu making this video 👍
I have the pet hair version and have a German sheperd long hair. This vacuum is really good for the first year but hairs tangle up where they say it should not. It gets so tight the vacuum motor struggles and slows down possible burning out . You need to spend money on Torks head screw drivers to clean it out but don't bother Shark have designed the vacuum so you cannot get to clean the main brush unless you take the whole bottom end off and that includes the motor and circuit board. The only way to clean a small part of the clogged hairs is a fine but stiff piece of wire and try to hook it out. This as i see it is a design fault but has and easy remedy. Will they listen! not a chance. So be aware this is a good vaccum but not for pets with long hair. I rate it 90% out of 100%
Great video. Thank you
Thank you for your brilliant video
Glad it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback
I’ve cleaned it all and it’s amazing but now my roller isn’t activating. The orange and black bit at the bottom isn’t spinning anymore
Did you fix it?
Mone was doing it before i found this video, which i though might help but it didnt :/
@@nicolesenior7214 I just seemed to sort itself out to be honest after a few cleans.
I would never run water through this unit. Paint brush and dry cloth only. To clean filters take them out side and tap them with a spoon handle until majority of dust and dirt cleared. The guarantee for mine only covers bad workmanship and random failures. Breaking ascessories or fittings would not be covered. I love my shark and the video is very well done. Always stay within the manufacturers guide lines and mine states clean filters once a month. A blocked vacum cleaner will shorten motor life. Don't forget to bang on Queen "I want to break free" Turn up the vol and enjoy your vac
Thanks
fantastic video thank you really helpful
