Shark Loss of Suction? Return it to New in Minutes

Have you noticed a decrease in the suction power of your beloved Shark vacuum? Don't worry, you can easily get that amazing cleaning experience back in just a few minutes. The most common reason for lost suction is blockages in various parts of the vacuum.

Where to Look for Blockages

Blockages can occur in the floor tool, wand, hose, and handle of your Shark vacuum. These blockages hinder the airflow, resulting in reduced suction power. It's essential to check these areas regularly to ensure optimal performance.

The Role of Filters

Another common culprit for decreased suction is dirty filters. If the filters haven't been washed every 3 months as recommended, they can become clogged and create a barrier above the motor. This blockage directly impacts the suction power of your vacuum.

How to Resolve the Issue

If you suspect a blockage in your Shark vacuum, start by inspecting the floor tool, wand, hose, handle, and filters. Remove any debris or dirt that may be causing the obstruction. Once you've cleared the blockages, you should notice a significant improvement in suction power.
