How To Clean Shark DuoClean IonFlex Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Short video I made on fully cleaning and disassembling and reassembling you shark multiflex ionflex vacuum cleaner. If you have any clogs or loss of suction disassemble and clean the entire unit. Watch this video until the end for possible clogging diagnosis. This video is very detailed on cleaning the shark duoclean ionflex vacuum. I really like the versatility and durability of this shark ionflex vacuum. If you need a replacement filter to keep running properly i recommend the following filters in amazon link below. Also there are links below for a extra batteries. But make sure the battery style is the same as the links. Any purchases from the amazon links really help me out so i can start making more vacuum tutorials and reviews for everyone. More vacuum cleaning video in the future. Don't forget to thumbs up this video.

Thanks for taking time to make this outstanding video.

[@maddie4190]

I legit use this video every time I clean my vacuum. It was beyond helpful, so that you for making it a couple years ago now😭💖

[@elsiemontgomery5866]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. I love my Shark cordless vacuum with two rechargeable batteries. I use it every day. Mine does not have the flex rod but all else is same. I followed along and took it completely apart and cleaned just like you did and reassembled. It had gotten sluggish but now it cleans like a beast again. I’m 74 and wanted something without cords that I could trip over. It’s wonderful. I also have the big Shark upright for carpets. It’s amazing too. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@katyhayes538]

Brought this baby home from work I’ve worked there 1 year and the whole time this shark has sat in office Dead I bought my shop vac in couple times, but I just got sick of it and grabbed it to fix thanks for ur help showing me how to get it clean. We will see if it comes back! Lol

[@TorrentPerformance]

good luck katy

[@Rosebud04me]

I have followed your video, clean for clean and am now waiting for the 24hr drying process. Thank you so much for ALL the detail. Amazingly helpful. Hope to see more helpful videos from you xx

[@kali-spy6046]

Thanks. I cleaned mine but I had forgot the one cylinder inside of the Dust bin. at first when I put it back together, It was straining the unit and shutting off. All clean now. Thanks Again. I Love mine too.

[@gscop1683]

Excellent! I have an older Shark with the same roller and power head. Learned So Much! Now Im going to see if Shark will sell Just the Flex Wand !

[@froilanjumao-as7673]

Thanks for this very honest video. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@patrickoneill1558]

Excellent. Followed through. Looks like I have a new vacuum! Ty

[@caseyferrell2152]

Definitely my kind of vacuum cleaning video! Thank you for being so informative!

[@jackfereday8432]

I have the corded one of this, similar cleaning method. Thank you for this great video. From the UK

[@kathrynarnold4201]

This is by far better than the manual that comes with this vacuum.

[@patsnow2054]

Thanks for video. I just cleaned out the primary & secondary filter on our Shark that was over a year old for first time . Works better.

[@ggshandsomeboy5103]

I used bottle brushes from Walmart.

[@yellowbloodsilverfox]

Thanks a million. Mine was just not staying on (lights were but the vacuum wouldn’t spin and the motor would stop seconds later), so I saw you pull out those two filters and I believe that was the issue. UDAMAN thanks again.

[@alandrahubbard7661]

You have the best information on this Shark cordless! Thanks a million…

[@TorrentPerformance]

That's means alot to me alandra. Thank you very much.

Very useful,thank you.

Thank you very much for your video was with I was looking for,amazing!

[@jayejohnson3407]

You are the best thank you so much for your video !

[@makavellys]

*AWESOME VIDEO // EVERYTHING I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW TO MAINTAIN MY SHARK ION F80 // THANK YOU*

[@susanbarefoot8027]

Excellent step by step guide

[@kathieb8104]

Thanks for the informative video. I will give my Duo a cleaning very soon. I have this same vacuum and it’s the best I’ve had with exception of a Hoover upright I had many years ago. This Sharp Duo is better than an Oreck and Dyson I’ve owned. It’s lightweight, easy to figure out.

[@marilynviarengo4278]

Very helpful

[@elsiemontgomery5866]

I totally agree. Shark is the BEST!

[@CozzieCuddlez]

Thank you very much for this video. My Vacuum stopped picking up. Your video will be of great help BUT I would like to see EXACTLY HOW to dismantle it.

[@brittanyzwerk3234]

You can’t. I reached out to Shark and it’s not possible. It’s pretty irritating.

[@Zahidachitaley]

Excellent discription.

[@MrMrSaldana]

Well this didn’t show me how to take apart the vacuum..thnx for vid anyways

[@tiffanyking8948]

He said “shaft” 😂 its his giggle after saying “shaft” for me!!

[@Erin_in_Austin]

Huh huh, okay Beavis, huh huh 😂

[@tonybacon6277]

Nice video. I’ve actually gotten mine way dirtier with pet hair, vacuuming around a litter box and carpets. I rinse mine with the sink spray, very carefully of course, to get all the dirt out of the crevasses in the canister. I also spray it with disinfectant and let it air dry.

[@jnhopwood]

Thank you for your detailed cleaning tips. I was missing cleaning some areas that I didn't know I had access to.

[@Bpepsi2]

Nice video, but I was expecting to learn how to take the canister off to clean it. Also, isn't there another filter at the back of the handle?

[@coniccinoc]

I don't think Shark could make a more value added video. Thank you.

[@HistoryRepeats101]

I search YT for this vacuum as I always forget how to release the canister to clean it. Boy did I ever get a thorough lesson on taking care of my vacuum. Great job on showing how to clean and the features. Sharp should sponsor you. I support your work 100%, all except stay away from my kitchen sink, too much human DNA😁😆😀

[@jimbo8july]

You can remove the filter in the dirt compartment comes out with half turn and your conical filter is released so you can properly clean it.

[@splashbunny]

Clockwise or anti clockwise and how much force??? Thanks

[@raquelpatzwald9196]

I love your video ❤ I've got mine all taken apart and still have a issue with the back bristle roller stopping. I've got new belts to put on but don't want to put them on with it not spinning easily .

[@BABSLWOOD]

In the head of the vacuum mine also has an orange filter inside the small chamber (U.K) Yours is orange. Mine twists out also and can be washed. Great video 😊

[@Ohmsstew65]

Is it normal for both compartments of the canister to fill up with debris? I empty it after every use but I am a little confused on this? Thank you for the great video!

[@jayejohnson3407]

I use a plastic letter opener with the blade instead of a razor knife. It hooks the hair and the blade slices the hair easily.

[@Bpepsi2]

Great idea...thanks!

[@georgejesson1944]

The shark is much better than the Dyson in performance and battery life. Dyson gets you when you need to replace the battery. The price of a replacement OEM battery is almost 75% if the cost of the vacuum. Good luck trying to find an aftermarket battery on Amazon. That's a crap shoot in finding one that actually works when you receive it. Been there done that. Oh yeah, great video 👍

[@MariannSAglia]

Thank you for making this video! New sub! Extremely helpful & I purchased the aftermarket filters with your link since I never ever cleaned out my filters since I bought mine 4 years ago 🤦🏽‍♀️ I have a question though- Have you eve cleaned the shaft part of the vacuum, and if so, what was your process? Thank you!

[@diddyd8350]

My daughter has the if200, i dismantled it enough to remove the hard brush roller because it was jammed and would not rotate. The issue is that i could not see how it was possible without damage to remove the drive gears at each end. Behind them are the mounting flanges where its not possible to remove any built up hair, i was olny able to remove a few strands. It very much looks like the gears mounted on bearings are a press fit onto the shafts, it would have been better if they were retained by a washer and nut in order to remove the crud inaccessible. One other thing after extensive searching could not find a new replacement, there are plenty of the front ones.

[@lilliandenton5359]

I'm on day 2 trying to get this vacuum going. Suction seems weak and rollers not rolling. I took it apart and started over.. drying on the counter.

[@itsjustme3785]

I love this vacuum too. But the other day I used it to suck up plaster dust/debris. I cleaned it out as best I could but it's letting off an odd smell..pretty sure I ruined it huh?

[@kimchee94112]

Clean with an air compressor (100 psi or more), no need to use water, about 5 minutes and back to vacuum again. Check the long tube along with the connection to the head, it could be clogged. Long tube use a long stick to push the junk out. The tube connection to the head, use hemostat forcep.

[@sarah-074]

I have the rocket pro with fins I have lights on head of it is glass cleaner ok

[@stephanieallen6374]

How would I clean inside that hole! As I cannot get inside it to clean it out x

[@ggshandsomeboy5103]

An old toothbrush works too!

[@jeancroden3876]

Why does my shark duo clean only work on fan

[@nicoleblanco5129]

So I did all this and for some reason I feel like it overheats and it turns off after like 5 mins and the control you see it goes from tile to carpet and blinks back and forth and turns off.. has that happened ?

[@warrengaskin3863]

I had this same problem. I was about to replace it with the new Dyson v15 but I called Shark and they are going to send me a new power head. I might still buy the Dyson but I'm glad that my ionflex is going to be working properly again. I really like this machine

[@amandalangston188]

How do you clean the stick part? I have a clog in it.

[@TorrentPerformance]

Try undoing a metal hangar and picking the clog out on one end.

[@lilliandenton5359]

I have 5 vacuums and trying to keep one ...get one...to work. Had a German shepherd for 16 yrs...

[@lilliandenton5359]

I rally need to vacuum...

[@lisaolivia8300]

Which cordless vacuum do you think is the best?

[@TorrentPerformance]

I personally prefer the durability of the shark over the dyson vacuums. I am extremely hard on the vacuums. I personally use on a daily basis for 5 hours a day of constant vacuuming I use a shark rocket. However at my house i do have a dyson as it does a fantastic job in cleaning my small house. If i had kids, a larger home, lots of carpet, and multiple hard surfaces I would go with the newer version of the shark cordless rocket. I just bought my mom one that has a self cleaning head and is cordless and it does a fantastic job on the animal hair from her dog. Shark makes a more durable vacuum, however the suction on a dyson almost can't be beat. I will take durability over suction and spend a little more time cleaning the areas than worry about dropping a $300 vacuum once and breaking it like I have done on over 10x dysons. Hope this helps.

[@nordy213]

Mine won't turn on. The battery light blinks. I've checked for clogs and I've cleaned it. Any ideas?

[@nordy213]

So it means dead battery! I've had it charging. I'll check my outlet and try again.

[@mommabear2118]

My vacuum has a lot more hair stuck on the brush. My hair is very long, down to my hips, so my vacuums are always really hard to clean. I was hoping I could take the main brush off to cut it easier. The hair is wrapped around real tight.

[@patsnow2054]

Torrent showed how to remove the front brush and I have done that several times. As far as I know the back brush is not removable by customer. Probably a dealer could disassemble the Shark but I'll bet the bill would be a hundred dollars.

[@justlisa6613]

When I shut off my vacuum and stand it up right the dirt falls out of the bottom. I’ve done this type of cleaning and unclogging with no results.....any ideas?

[@TorrentPerformance]

Unhook the head and shaft and does the unit have suction at all out of the main body?

[@chrisjenkins1]

Same here. I do all the stuff in this video anyway.... im guessing its maybe dirt inside the pipe and sometimes get blockages in the pipe where the head is. And then I'll replace filters in case damaged

[@lynettewoods6506]

Just get to the process.

[@Rosebud04me]

P.S. I Love my flex capability. It is soooo easy to use. I love my Shark. Would not change it for the world lol.

[@willydiesel2081]

Man I appreciate your time with the video but I'm not sure I would be putting water on the brush part like you did. There is a chip in there a circuit board rather and wiring and a little motor. I know because I just took mine apart. So be careful with getting too much water in there guys

[@melissaleon6545]

You missed the intake filter boss. Not much of a filter but its first inline just above the battery.

[@kristendurbin4736]

I just took this filter out to clean it as well and a bunch of the fuzzy material came off, is that normal? I’m worried I messed it up 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@akjordan]

This video has a lot of good info in it but too much bad-mouthing other people and videos. Being negative to other people doesn’t make you better. Your info without that would be much more pleasant and professional.

[@tedhuges8275]

Plank head

[@mrds91]

Not just use scissors and cut the hair from the top going along the groove

[@raegandowell963]

You are a weirdo right infront of view. Come on Jeffery let’s get them fs

[@TorrentPerformance]

Who leaves a comment like this on someone's channel. What is wrong with you Raegan. Checked your channel out you should stick to curling hair and justin beiber vids on your playlist.

[@annsalter4366]

Why on earth would you leave it that long without clearing that front roller ...it stops picking up effectively, even if using it daily check it daily.. can't be good for the motor ..

[@jaycarneygiants]

Your shoes match your vacuum.

[@cmsmith1973]

Haha I said the same thing

[@tedhuges8275]

He hasn’t got a clue how to Strip it down. He’s a bluffing his way through this video. Not confident enough

[@dannydavies.7023]

Yes you are spot on. he says he cleans it every week, so he should be able to do it blind folded. I can't split the middle tube. the button one presses does not go in to release for cleaning.
