Thanks for this video. A damp microfibre cloth works wonders to clean the inaccessible window by manually winding it round the big roller a few times.

[@crazybaker1]

Great tip!

[@misty2montana1]

Thanks for your instructions. I was about ready to throw this vacuum out since it no longer was picking up anything but was able to finally clean it and it is working again.

[@warehousetheultimategym5314]

The biggest issues are the small wheels get tangled with hair and almost impossible to remove. Also, the rubber roller does that remove at all.AND this is where the majority of hair and debris get stuck. Have to do microsurgery with various items to even attempt to remove the crap. If you LOVE vacuuming, cleaning vacuums, and spending more time doing maintenance then actually cleaning, THIS UNIT IS FOR YOU!

[@crazybaker1]

Mine is just the same, I only clean out when it stops working 😀

[@nishantkhanorkar898]

The small wheels come off quickly so you can clean all the hair tangled in it. I found it out recently after using it for 2 years.

The panel removal for the anti hair wrap roller, 2 Pence coin is what you need fits perfectly.

I remember 2 pence coins 🤣 years ago, can you still get them now 🤣 Cards don't work the same 😀

[@gracest875]

I didn't have a screwdriver to hand, but a 20p worked perfectly to undo the 3 screws.

[@cmac3971]

@5:54 just under the palm of your right had there is a small photo on the appliance that shows you need to cut along the roller to basically unwrap any hair wrapped around it and the hair comes off easily. It does say to do this in the instructions too. In a house with three long haired women this technology has worked perfectly and there is never any left over hair that I can't get off

[@crazybaker1]

Are you using the same Shark or are you using the one with a plug ? In my latest video I show hairs blocking it up, Shark has written to me and said would I like a free upgrade because they have had a number of complaints about this model 😀 so they no all about the product, so basely I am going to take up there offer 😀

[@cmac3971]

@@crazybaker1 yes I am using the same cordless shark model. I have just seen your latest video and the reason the pipe is getting blocked is because you are trying to hoover up pieces of rubbish that are already too big to fit through the pipe (the piece of cardboard that came out of your pipe) sorry but basic cleaning knowledge will tell you to pick up pieces like this and throw them in the bin and not ruin the life of your hoover with them. I think you might prefer a more industrial type hoover than the basic household models

You can't do it easy, be mindful of taking it to bits and not getting back the same way as it was 😀 if you do intend to have ago. Please let me know if you found any issues with it laters Steve 🙂

[@yveodstruxn]

Wow, im surprised folks seem to have ao many issues with this. First off, mine works great and its old, that brush is for HAIR, and as anyone with long hair and shedding pets will tell you, hair jams up vacuum brushes, period. in particular, long HAIR, when you vacuum, spools around the head and jams up the bristles as well as making it difficult for it to turn. The longer your hair the worse it is. Traditional brushes, no matter the vacuum require me to get put the seam ripper or scissors to un tangle it every other time i use it. Pet floof will always eventually need to be pulled out of bristles on any vac too, so those rubbery blades are fantastic. I cant remember the last time i had to flip over my vacuum to perform hair removal surgery. Also, vacuums are for cleaning, but they too must be occasionally cleaned and maintained.

[@crazybaker1]

One big issue is new carpets which will block up the pipe and rollers, I always here about pets' hairs, but luckily for you that you don't have new carpets in your house, as you said you have pets running around 😉 😜

[@BenOliver999]

Mine is the same, not really anti-hair at all. That said, hair doesn't seem to cause the roller to seize up which I have experienced on other models. What also gets bunged up on mine are the little wheels towards the front of the head, just behind the brush roller. I had a posher Miele one which was solidly built but so badly thought out against hair that once hair got in the roller bearing it melted itself!

[@crazybaker1]

We just spend time getting the hairs out the roller, it's always good to have 2 vacuums, one for quicker Cleaning and the other for all the sawdust and cleaning out the car 😀

[@A2Z1Two3]

There is also a circular filter very similar to you get in a car ( just smaller) it is just under the motor , after removing the waste bin , just pull down gripping on the black plastic , and it comes out with its plastic carried and rubber seal (for cleaning or replacement . )

[@JWS1968]

The answer to the hair wrapping around the roller in any vacuum cleaner is in my view to make that whole section 'disposable'. Just make it a one-finger button action to have it click out and go buy a 'replacement'. I know I would. Make them cheap and widely available. Imagine having a replacement roller for £9.99 on Amazon that needs replacing every couple of months.

Hi great video. Do you know how to get the large anti hair wrap roller out? I need to clean the plastic window underneath as it’s so filthy I can’t see the roller through it from the top! Will I need to unscrew and take the whole head apart? Also the tiny little castors are completely clogged up with fur. Thanks.

[@crazybaker1]

I have had it out, but don't waste time do this, it doesn't seem to go back that easy, the small Castors you can just pull out and then they pop back in, but generally you just need to clean it with soapy water, best thing I got was a bottle wash brush, great for getting in smaller parts 😀

[@stevenclements4332]

I had the same problem 😕 ended up rolling a damp cloth into the roller and out the other side a few times to clean it and it's clean now so all good 👍

[@P1NKTHINKER]

If it starts making loud noises check what surface it says when hoovering. Spent best part of an hour cleaning & taking it apart as well as a few cuss words and it had been knocked to hard surface!! Mind the brush had got a LOAD of hair (mine) wrapped around it badly!! Needed cutting off. Maybe because on wrong surface setting it picked it up better. A self help dvd should be included with purchase.

[@crazybaker1]

Nicely said 👌 👏

[@P1NKTHINKER]

Ps Not only was it very noisy it shuddered and l really thought it was going to blow up on me. Next day and it's acting like an Angel 😇 again. Note to self, start cleaning filters (when taking it apart trying to find out what was up l noticed they were filthy!!) & add to check list to make sure you haven't knocked the surface by accident. (friend was hoovering for me & he knocked it).

Hi mate I tried to clean my shark today but he bit my hand off. He’s usually quite friendly aswell any suggestions on what to do next? Cheers .

How do you clean inside the tubes? Mine are blocked I think

[@crazybaker1]

Hi yes I did 😀 my one was full of hairs and bits of paper, one thing I have notice if the filter is not clear the air doesn't suck well and this could cause the blockage, so I now hold on the maximum power, the only down side is the battery runs out quickly 😀 laters Steve

I use a long piece of dowel, cheap from B&Q

Hi Steve Do you know what the part number for the soft roller is Many thanks Dave

[@crazybaker1]

Hi Dave I don't have part number, but if you go down on to Shark parts website put in your model number and then you should find out the part required, I have also been on Amazon and Ebay there's a number of companies doing parts, only some may be cheaper copycat parts with out test out my self, I would go to Shark websites thanks mate laters Steve

Hi I really enjoyed your video but I’ve a question on the main head there are two tiny tiny wheels one either side and mine are FOREVER getting clogged up and what a nightmare it is to pull bits out ! Any ideas? Also would these getting clogged up affect the performance of it in any way. I gave pets and it’s a real problem to keep the shark in tip top condition also any tips on cleaning the actual dust bucket I think they look disgusting after they’ve been used a few times and you can’t really immerse it in water! Great vacuum cleaner I love it although expensive I wouldn’t be without mine this is my third first I had the rocket then the duo clean before this latest version which I now have.

[@crazybaker1]

Hi the wheels are a pain, but you just have to live with it, the one thing that affects the performance is the pipes and filters if not clean out, I have a video coming out soon, it's about the blocking of pipes and the performance of it, cleaning it in warm water and dry very well, for me I just love the Shark I just wished they made one that's maintaining free it's would be the best ever 😀😀 laters Steve

[@stephaniesalinas7699]

I hear you ! I use a flat head to gently pop off those tiny wheel suckers it takes 10 seconds (not too hard as not to damage the wheel just put the flat head tool under the wheel at an angle no on it). Make sure not to lose a tiny felt piece next to the insides of the wheels. Remove the hair manualy. Then I assemble it and use a small cross screw driver to make sure both the wheel clicks on both sides of the metal rod where the wheel is held. I empty the trash, then remove filters, then use an old toothbrush (cut the bristles short to get into tight spots)to take off most dirt. Then I gently scrub soapy water with my hand without immersing the whole dirt bucket thing. And let it air dry 24 hours.

Hi. Is there any way of removing the big roller!?

[@crazybaker1]

I take it you are talking about the big one, well I start to remove all the screws and pull it a part, but I stopped because I just can't get it top to come apart fully, something was holding it, when get time I will be having a go again, I have seen it apart in pictures, but I just don't know, 😀 laters Steve 😀

But how can I get the clear bit clean mines almost black!

[@crazybaker1]

I know what you are saying, our is now 2 months old, so I am go to wash in warm water with a bit of washing liquid, now for the head I am raping a small cloth around the big roller with the brush wet, and just turn the roller round, now you will need to this more than once, now replace the cloth with a dry one. I amazed how clean it turned out. Funny I have done this at the same time as this reply 😀😀 laters Steve

How do you clean out under the brush can you take the main brush out?

Hi the man brush is a pain, the only way to clean or clear is to remove the things by hand, I have removed the brush just to see how to, but it's the time doing it, and you won't want to do this type of thing unless you need to replace the brush 😉 I am going to do a video to show this at sometime 😊 laters Steve

Funny thing is all battery vacuums are around about the same, they are all plastic, the most expensive ones do have some more power and better build quality, but it's down to the price at the end of the day, for us we have Shark for quick cleaning for carpets, but for all the time we have a electric meile which walks over everything it's a old one, so basely it's down to how much you want to pay, now the shops are now all open, I would recommend going to John Lewis and test some out, in our store has at least 20 different vacuum cleaner for sale and to test out, best of luck 😀 laters Steve

@@RandomVibes505 to be honest not test out that one, thing is today most vacuums are not very powerful because of EU regulations, don't forget you need the vacuums for your car like us 😉 yes you need to go to John Lewis, I am not sure if you can test them out at curry's but they sell loads of them 😀👍
