maltese jambo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi guys, Seem to have a problem with a Shark Rocket vacuum... It suction is really poor and barely picks up anything. Have tried all the usual fixes - cleaned filter, checked belt etc, but problem seems to be that there basically isn't much suction coming from motor. Anyone has any ideas as to how to fix it? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don't know the answer but I'm keeping an eye on this thread because I seem to have the same problem with my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I know you probably have checked, but the brush underneath? I had a Shark before and I loved it, but because there's a lot of bristles in the brush, it was a nightmare for getting badly clogged with hair and fluff.

¼½¾ Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Check for blockages. Right from the head, up to where the crap goes. Take as much of it apart as you can. We had the same problem with our Shark DuoClean last week. After removing a the wife's hair from the brushbar , I found it was blocked at various places, again mostly with the wife's hair. Strangely, it's her hair which clogs the shower drain too. Things would be easier if she only got a No2 cut. I see Shark are now advertising vacs with some anti hair wrap thing.

jackal Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 See how the suction is just with the head unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Is Back Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Stupid thing about he Shark we have is if the belt snaps you have to replace the whole head at about £80! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
