How To Deep Clean Shark Pro Rocket Self Cleaning Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

This is by far one of the most thorough detailed videos on youtube on how to clean this series vacuum. This is a self cleaning vacuum that still requires deep cleaning to extend its service life. I love these shark vacuums durability and suction power but the amount of time and screws to remove is very labor intensive. If you have one of these vacuums I suggest this cleaning process once a year on a total tear down. And filter cleaning monthly in a normal house cleaning. I use a blue shark rocket at work and it requires the dual filters and catch can cleaning weekly to provide maximum suction a versatility. Below are links below and i suggest checking out my other vacuum videos just for research and something to watch.

DANG!!! This video was exactly what I needed to be guided step-by-step on disassembling my Shark Rocket Pro. My roller was no longer turning due to some friction with a stupid plastic piece that could not be accessed until full disassembly. I reassembled my unit and it was good as new and CLEAN!!! Yay!! I'm a homeschool mom of 4 and this video was easy to follow, humorous, and effective. I LOVE this dude's voice AND his sarcasm. If I could give this video a million thumbs-up, I would! Thanks Mr. TorrentPerformance!!! Can't wait till you develop your own vac!!!

[@audreywilliamson4400]

You would think shark would have just had a way for it to pop off like the back ones does. Its ridiculous, that i've only had it 2 months and have more hair around the wheels than anything. Its a pet vacuum why not make the wheels bigger or something. Right?

[@alexpatrick8670]

Why would Shark not make these vaccuns easier to service? Especially my model that is advertised for Pets? They should have designed the roller brushes to be easily removed just like the robot vacuums. Thanks for the video btw I'm in the process of removing the brush right now

[@mrb7948]

This video saved me another $225 for a new vacuum. Thank you for the realistic and reasonable video. I love the facts you showed your mistakes and successes.

[@jaxsdamaxhere]

Watching two years later, after you posted vid, and so many of us are still getting so much benefit out of it, thank you. Here's hoping you were able to acquire those rare motorcycles since then. 👍

[@tesson8969]

Thank you for this video. I have to say I will never buy a Shark vacuum again. Cleaning it was horrendous!

[@sascarter2350]

If you want to clean under the roller brush without removing it, I found it helpful to roll an unfolded damp, but not saturated, paper towel back and forth under the brush. It helped to clear most of gunk from the clear window. I used a mild cleaner on the paper towel. I also fed one thru the hose opening. It helped with the odor.

[@understandinc]

YUP! thats what i did, i got to the point in disassembly where you get to the motor and plug removal and said screw it. and just triple-folded a damp paper towel ran it through the roller until it came out the other side. then just rolled it back and forth to where i felt it was clean "enough"

[@wjwhitehead]

Thanks! You did the whole thing! I was halfway there and I just thought it would be crazy to continue but then I found your vid and kept going! Unbelievable how the design of this thing makes it almost impossible to get at the most vulnerable part. My roller had some kind of melted crud in that black plastic that supports the rollers and it stopped spinning but now works again! Many thanks! #righttorepair

[@TorrentPerformance]

Thanks so much for the tip it really helps out

[@MrAlvirostko]

This was perfect. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a year with my shark! Thank you! 😊

[@WilcoJulietBravo]

God bless you and the horse you rode in on. My husband and I put a protective cover on the kitchen table and watched your video to take our vacuum apart, fix it by unrolling a cord that prevented the brush from moving, and put it back together. Only 3 screws left over! That's actually good for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Debstep98]

Thank you so much … this is just crazy that you have to go to the depths necessary to clean this thing.

[@maple_missy]

Excellent Video. I was able to follow the steps to dissemble fairly easily. The only thing I wish I knew prior to starting is that I would need "tamper proof torx bits" is size t10. I didn't have this on hand so I need to wait a few days for my order to come in to continue this project. Currently waiting for everything to dry and i'll reassemble!

[@michaelclarke9488]

Great video! Very easy to follow.

[@ellenmeche273]

This video saved me from buying a new vacuum. It was working but needing cleaning bad. It seems intimidating at first but once you get through it, you realize not so bad. Instead of using box cutter, I actually used a drill bit and drilled the holes bigger for the screws that couldn't be reached. You just have to be really careful not to go to deep and ruin the screw head. I also left this reply on another comment that was below: " I also wish there had been more detail on separating screws when it was disassembled. I wasn't sure which went where when putting back together. Vacuum is working so hopefully it wont be an issue over time if they are in wrong place. Also wish the mistakes would have been warned ahead of time (video edited). I followed along before watching all the way thru so made the same mistakes along the way which could have been avoided. All in all great video and got the job done!"

[@user-jl2cd8hi6b]

Found this video very helpful and want to thank you

[@lizzamora8380]

This was so helpful, thank you!

[@melissab6622]

Excellent and thorough overview! Saved me time of trying to figure it all out myself and potentially breaking it. (Note: I haven't put mine back together yet, so maybe it is broken lol). Anyway, it's clean! You'd think Shark would've made this a TAD bit more easy. But of course prob intentional - most ppl prob wouldn't attempt this and just go purchase another vacuum. It's so shiny now! Should hopefully last another year now.

[@kcrossleKMC]

If I hadn't watched this I wouldn't have caught on to the need for the anti-tamper-proof screwdrivers! Thanks.

[@takeniteasyfriend]

Easiest way to clean the rotar assembly enclosure (clear window) and rollow is to stuff two Clorox wipes between the roller and the assembly. Now rotate until the wipes come out of the other side. Remove. Now repeat with new wipes and move toward the other side of the roller window assemby. With the clorox wipies inbetween, they create a sort of "squeegee effect". If you put too many wipes, they'll get jammed. I found if you put two weaved in a line together, they'll clean that pretty well. Same with the roller. Lessoned learned. Don't take apart the whole thing unless you want to blow out the electronics and moter with air (dust shortens the life of the motor and electronics added excessive heat over many years of use. As for your quarterly cleaning, I'd recommend just using the clorox "squeege" method listed above. You'll thank me later.

[@RheRheSmily]

I wish I had the confidence to take a vacuum cleaner apart to clean it and know it will still work when I put it back together. I'm gonna get me sister to help me. Thanks for the video

[@rebornsoldier1476]

Thank you so much for this video, you are a badass and a legend mr clean clean! ❤️🤘🏻

[@TheGreekTsoureki]

Awsome video!

[@jokarmrky440]

Thank you for the help!!

[@Queen-he3jt]

Thank you so much so serious right now can figure it out and you’re the only one I got it. Thank you thank you thank you

[@ralphcantrell3214]

Thanks for the video. By the way... Those cheap little magnetic parts bowls at Harbor Freight are great for keeping up with tiny little screws etc during projects like this.

[@Sir_Forte]

Thank you for this amazing instructional video! I am disappointed in the shark vacuum company. They have made it overly difficult to clean and or replace the roller in my cordless stick vacuum! They don’t even have a maintenance manual online to download off their website!?!? My son was vacuuming doing his chores and sucked a sock in the roller by mistake. Needless to say it wasn’t the easiest task to get it out! My Dyson is so easy to change the roller clear debris and maintain without taking all the screws and time tearing it apart! I won’t be purchasing another shark vacuum unless they start making them more user friendly to maintain, and include an instruction manual. Thanks again for the video, you are a life saver or should I say vacuum saver 😂

[@zodiacfml]

thanks. i was searching how good the filtration of this thing. it is almost looks four-five cyclones though cutting edge vacuums uses a lot more of it like a dyson

[@chriswarren7274]

Just got done disassembling this fucking vacuum. I literally had no idea how much of a nightmare this would be or how under appreciated a vacuum cleaner profession is. I will absolutely be buying your product once it hits the market and I hope there’s 20 less screws to remove and plastic pieces to pull off lmao

[@ashleydelong9270]

Thank you for this!!!

[@huntermalan1]

if your just looking for the little will removal look at the end of the video screwdriver under them and pop them out

[@laurabailey9527]

i want one of the vacuums you make! im obsessed with vacuuming and would love to be a tester!

[@Debstep98]

Me too!

[@understandinc]

helpful video! its totally unforgivable that the clear cover can't simply flip up to be quickly cleaned. that would be so easy to engineer. i dont know if these folks are evil or just too deep in the forest to see the trees.

[@umdbubbabob]

This is very informative, thanks! I had no idea the filter in the base unit just pulled out. It was the source of the funk in mine.

[@amygawelko601]

I love this video. I thought I had it figured out. I had no idea,you could break it down so far. Where is this link for the screw heads?

[@bentover5743]

Wish you would have gone in a little more detail with the screws on the reassembly. I have all kinds of screws and sizes and holes and I’m so mixed up over here idk what to do. For example I have two longer black screws. I remember they came from somewhere but I can remember where they go. I have a bunch of small screws that I know come from the front end assembly but there as so many holes I’m not sure which ones go where. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it

[@ellenmeche273]

I also wish there had been more detail on separating screws when it was disassembled. I wasn't sure which went where when putting back together. Vacuum is working so hopefully it wont be an issue over time if they are in wrong place. Also wish the mistakes would have been warned ahead of time (video edited). I followed along before watching all the way thru so made the same mistakes along the way which could have been avoided. All in all great video and got the job done!

[@janicezuniga9272]

Thank you for this video!!!! What screw driver did you use for the cyclone piece I can't get it open please?

[@krystlefooks5063]

Really wish I had paid attention to the hour and nineteen minutes timer on this video... I probably would have been better prepared... Thanks for taking the time. Otherwise I'd have never made it.

[@julio-sandrasosa6034]

For the filter I’m not able to take out two screws any recommendations

[@QMarkMan]

Could you make a video on how to take apart and clean the motor in the top part? We didn’t realize you had to clean the filters and now we’re pretty sure there’s dust in the motor. It makes a very loud high pitched squeal now when we turn it on.

[@wendydann8180]

I am needing to take out the roll to get out all the gunk that is above the blade. You can see all the gunk through the clear plastic. I'm not excited about to have to remove 8 screws, loosen a spot so then I have to still remove even more.

[@audreywilliamson4400]

what kind of screwdriver are you using. i could not find any that fit and i have a kit of screw different screw bits

[@darinlee2182]

How do you clean hair around the rear wheels?

[@tiffanymartin9764]

Mine will not pop off like that. And I’ve taken every screw out and used a butter knife and whatever else I could to try and pop it off

[@bonnieg9918]

what do i need to remove the tiny screws on the bottom? My screwdriver doesn't fit in to remove them :(

[@leiyonayoung4736]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a different vaccum that's easier to clean????

[@CommanderZion]

That grey seal on the lid for the container looks horrible on mine, but I know if I pull it out to clean I wouldnt be able to get it back in.

[@kristoferhaken7653]

Silver screws go in the motor?

[@monymsalas2324]

How often do you have to clean so deeply... if it were every time you use it, it would be better to use a good broom.

[@o1mgardner]

Hi! My model doesn't have Phillips or flat head screws. What did you use to remove the housing?

[@mrb7948]

Torx 10 bit

[@ricknelms]

The handheld is not suctioning ,i cleaned the filters and the bowl still no suction?

[@jennifercardenas1999]

I used a t10 but i still couldn’t get it open :/ felt like the fit wasn’t right.

[@shedfescan]

I would buy your vacuum I’m ready to finally get a good running vacuum that’s good and you can clean properly I have a cleaning business that would be very useful

[@SparklePrincessGlitterFart]

I have the Shark dual motion, a lot easier to clean, but my sister has this one. It's hell to clean and get the brush out.

[@chelsywhite03]

What kind of screw driver did you use to remove the bottom of the brush roll housing? I need to clean those tiny wheels in the front!!!

[@TH3P3RS0N42]

Torx size T10

[@awkward5000]

those danged wheels! Their design is awful.

[@gregking477]

What screw driver do you use for the screws?

[@h3re4fball]

I know you are probably past this, but for everyone else - he says T-10 in video but mine was a VT-10 with a hole at the top

[@lynetteherrera8852]

What kind of screw driver is that?

[@Here_Today_]

They make this ridiculously hard to access that roller head

[@tStolz10]

Wheel Cleaning = 1:10:00

[@schoolboyz92]

dang mine looks as dirty as that but i Definitely don't wanna touch that many screws

[@theBlankScroll]

Its nuts they mad the clear roller cover THIS hard to take offf, injust want to clean it, not do surgery lol

[@jimw7ry]

1:15 WAAAAAhhhhhhh.....

[@susiekim5728]

Fucking outrageous how hard it is to get this god damn thing open to clean it … why did they make this specific model like this? Ugh that’s why I liked shark vacuums because it was easy to clean

[@abee1416]

Well. Those screws look a lot easier to take off. Half of. Mine we’re just not coming offf 😒😒

[@JimSheets]

This just absurd. I am fairly handy but I am certainly not going to attempt this. I have a piece of cord wrapped around the end of the roller and can't get at it. I woud not buy another Shark because of this consumer nightmare in trying to fix what ought to be a simple problem.

[@TorrentPerformance]

These sharks love phone charger cords. Ive tipped whole computers under a desk with the cord plugged into a usb port. Was it a Iphone or android cord.

[@HODIUSDUDE]

So at 1 hour and 20 minutes for a teardown a professional vac repair shop is going to charge you $180 - $200 minimum to service this. Cost of a NEW Shark Cordless ranges $ 200 (on sale) - $350. If you do the work yourself on a rainy weekend with nothing else going on I suppose its worth it. Or just buy it on sale and pitch this in the trash.

[@TheHandOfGovernment]

Ok other words, it’s not worth it to take it apart just to clean the brush window.

[@lorriemortarulo3263]

seriously you could have edited the mistakes with the screws and other mistakes and save your viewers from following and wasting so much time. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

[@TorrentPerformance]

Lol why would i do that. This is a step by step what if someone ran into the same mistakes I did. Sorry good luck finding such a detailed video elsewhere for this vacuum. I live in reality not highly edited perfection in my life.
