    I was wondering why my Shark Rocket wasn’t picking up anything. Turns out it was my brush roll! It was clogged with so much hair and string! I’ve always kept up with cleaning the filter monthly and cleaning out the canister, so I was bummed thinking I was going to have to buy a new vacuum so thank you for this video! Very helpful! Also, my vacuum seemed like it was louder before cleaning it. Afterwards it was fine, like when I first got it. ☺️

    Great video but I need more in-depth help for the main motor housing disassembly. Mine recently started making a strange sound, different from the full tank or clogged filter sounds. I immediately shut it off to avoid causing any further damage. I wanted to remove the housing to inspect everything within the motor area but can't even get the housing off. I'm by no means am expert or even knowledgeable about vaccums but am fairly mechanically inclined & have done such things on other appliances & various machines & techs. Any help would be great.

    The filter you were trying to reach opens from the front on the orange part...the 2nd filter is located on the orange square like part..basically if it's orange it comes apart or opens in some way.

    I loved the video. I have a different model. I took out three soft filters and washed them. I checked for the rollers turning- that was awesome to learn. I checked the top of the tube and that is where I found my problem, a mass of hair clogged at the the top of the tube. I'm just not sure how to check if there is a clog further down. How can you see all the way down the tube when it is connected on one end and dark?

    I think this one also has a filter on the very top. Mine was not sucking no matter what I had done until I realized that it had a filter on the top. I just took it off and cleaned it and I'm hoping that that fixed it. There's even a little sticker on it saying if you do not clean this once a month then it could affect your suction. Everything else is up the par.

    Hi Dan, thank you for the video! I have the identical model to the one shown and don't know if you double checked the two upper filters above the canister. I wash those out every couple of months to maintain full suction. Very easy to wash with water and just a matter of rinsing until it's drip clean, no soap or detergent needed. Also, there is a smaller filter in the exhaust area that should as well be cleaned out periodically.

    @@susanjohnson9236 There should be two individual filters for this Rocket model. One that is approx 2 inches thick and looks more like a foam material and another that is thinner and looks more like layers of "paper". Rinse out the two parts under the sink just like rinsing out a sponge (no soap or detergent needed). Keep rinsing and squeezing out water until it's "clear". Just air dry after.

    Too bad you couldn't replace the filter in this vacuum. I have a similar 2021 shark vacuum which gave me a headache to clean and replace the brush roller. I will take a look at its filter, but I'm sure it will not be easy to replace. Anyhow, thank you for your video.
