Thank You! A pen got stuck in that same are on my machine and I couldn't get it out. Started taking off the housing, but the screws weren't coming out. This saved me a lot of time from finishing that. Pulled the hose like you suggested and more digging with a gardening tool got the pen out. Great trick!

Well I be damned. I was working on this damn thing for 2 hrs. THANK U SO MUCH. IT TOOK 2 SECS TO FIX

wooooow. this worked instantly. I had a pen stuck in mine, and I tried to take the screws out to but failed. I came across this video and pulled the tube. BINGO worked like a charm. the pen came through with a big clump of dirt. thank you thank you

Yes!!! I had a barbie shoe stuck in mine! It worked for a newer model perfectly, thank you!!

OMG! thanks, didn't even have to unscrew the handle, just stretched the hose a little more and turned it on and the clog went right through!

Thanks for this video! Like others, there was a pen stuck in the bend; this trick got it out

The curve of the handle was exactly where my blockage was. Couldn't see it till I took apart the handle. Thanks!

Spent an hour trying to fish out the clog with a coat hanger. Tried this trick and it worked right away. Thanks!

Thank you for this!! You just saved me $40 bucks. I didn't even need to take the screws out at all...just stretching the hose and turning it on sucked out the stick that was stuck in there. I'd recommend others start watching at about 4 minutes...if that's all you need you'll save a lot of hassle by not taking the screws out.

Yaaaaa!!!! Thanks for your help!! I got as far as attemping to take it apart, then pulled on the hose like you demonstrated and turned it on and it went right through and into the canister! YOU ROCK!!!!

That did it for me!! I had a little plastic box stuck in the hose that was inside the handle, and once I stretched it out and turned the vacuum on it moved it down far enough that I could get it out. Thank you so much for posting this!

I was so close to just giving up and buying a new one until I saw this video

Thanks I couldn’t figure out how to take it apart and this worked in 2 seconds! Exactly what I needed!

This worked for my different model Shark, you are the MVP Saifan, thanks!

SO we had a pen stuck in the handle. And we tried to take apart the handle, which as this video showed, was not helpful. So In a combination of pulling the hose as long as we could and then reversing the hose - sticking the nozzle end into the direct vacumm intake - it pulled the pen up into the handle and we shook it loose. Thank you for the helpful video!

Thank you! Just unclogged mine using your advice. It was a sock. Lol. I'm so happy to have my super sucker back to normal. haha

Thank you! This cleared it so fast! After spending an hour trying to unclog w a coat hanger, i was going to take it for service. You saved me $55!

You're welcome! Glad you're able to save money.

Thank you!!!! This fixed my problem after I spent 2 hours trying to find something to pull the clog out. I didnt even have to unscrew it; just pulled the hose part out and out gently until it was as far as it could go, then turned it on. I appreciate you taking the time to make a vid!!

Holy crap, this fixed it!! I was just about ready to buy a whole new vacuum because I was so fed up. Thank you!!

wow! a KZread video that actually addressed the problem I had! thank you!

Yeah...I love KZread...you helped me clear the clog in the handle of my shark duo clean and I didn’t have to unscrew anything in the handle....thank you, thank you

Thank you for saving my vacuum cleaner. I thought I had to throw it out. Really appreciate you posting this on KZread!!!

Thank you for making this video! It was so helpful!

This helped me solve my issue. Thank you!

You know I actually was able to help this problem with your instructions. Thanks

Worked for me, thanks for the tip. I too was surprised when I took all the screws out and the handle would not separate.

Great tip man! that is exactly what my issue was with the handle, did what you recommended and it worked!

Thanks for this video! One note - I had to use a T15 torx bit to get the screws out

Surprisingly as simple as this is it turned out to be the solution to my problem thank you kindly have a great one!

Folks, don't be harsh with this video, it is an excellent video, and helped me fix a clog in the curved plastic area... There is absolutely no way to open it up... but removing the screws allows you to open it a little... I had a ball point pen lodged in the curve.. completely not accessible. The only thing I would add to the video is once you take the screws out, put something in there like a screw driver, just to keep it open, just enough... like maybe 1/4" opening... I extended the hose... tried to make it as straight as possible... turned on the power, and it pulled the pen right out into an accessible area. I'm too lazy to go to a repair shop or order a part, I would have bought a new one at Costco, but after 6 years, my vacuum still works great... Thanks for a great video!! I feel a sense of accomplishment when I can repair an appliance myself.

Thank you! I have been trying to clear mine for a week using drain snakes and anything else I could try to bend in there. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Amazing, worked for me. Thank you!

Happy to help

Nice! Your advice worked for me. Thanks!

You are amazing! This fixed our problem! Thanks!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was about to break out the screwdriver, but all I had to do was stretch the hose!!

Just one more tip. I found a video for another model that said there are screws under the rubber part. He didn't show how to take it out though. I'm going to try stretching the hose and hope I can get my clog out. I've taken the screws out and knew I needed to look for a video. Thank you!

Mahalo Saifan. Your video was a tremendous help!

Omg thank you! I was rather aggravated with the same problem until I saw your video

Thank you! That worked for me. I couldn’t get that end of the handle undone either. I don’t know if it’s glued or what.

Your video is fantastic, however, this didn't exactly work for me. We did all you said but It turns out the clog of dust was so big I ended up put water down the hose with the garden hose and it finally came out.

Cut a clothes hanger and bend a small hook on one end works well or remove the entire hose and run water through it and let it dry really well before using.

This saved my butt thank you!!!

Thanks for the fix!

Had same issue. This is design flaw. I couldn't even get screws out. They don't seem Philips or Alan or star. So, I guess it is okay I could not get them off. :) Your approach on pulling the hose fixed it for me too. A cat play mouse was sucked in.

Thank you so much you are a lifesaver

Woohooo it worked!!! Thank you so much!!

How do you take the handles apart? That's what i was hoping you would tell me. Mine isn't clogged. The hose is ripped wide open a couple inches from the edge of the handle. And the handle housing won't come apart completely so i can just cut the end of the hose off and eliminate the torn part . All these comments are funny though. You people make me feel like I'm a genius because i understand the concept of taking my vacuum apart. So thanks for makings me feel good about my own abilities. But back to the vacuum... mine is a shark aspirateur nv 351 26 . Can anyone tell me how to take the handle housing completely apart?? This is the only video i found where the vac handle is the same.

I have a bottle cap stuck in my handle! Hope this works for me!!

Thanks this worked for a stuck pen! This just shows you get what you pay for… I’m sure a Dyson wouldn’t have this issue, and it did it would be a lot easier to take apart

Thank you I had a pen stucknin the handle I did what u said and it fell out

THANK YOU!

I can't even get the screws out. I've tried several different screw drivers. The screws in mine are different, they have more star points and a tiny raised thing in the middle. It's like you need a special tool made just for it

That's mine also. I have a stupid pen lodged in mine and I can not get the thing lose

King 👑

They make it to where you spend money and buy the replacement hose only to get the hose and realize that you can't actually replace it because they want you to buy new vacuum or pay to have it fixed at one of their dealers.

Where can I find the shark vacuum release button?

Easy to assemble

What size screwdriver did you use? I gotta buy one and it’s so tiny!

Omg thank you so much😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

no all this hmmm hah and you did not take the upper handle apart to replace the upper hose , geeez that;s what I'm looking for

Too many ads for such a short video that didnt show me much

So I can't take it off to replace the hose with the longer one 🥺

That is a NV 351

This is foolish

Poorly designed.

Some of your problem might be the actual canister that looks like you have an emptied in years!!
