My shark vac.. broke. Will never buy another one again. I had my old Orek in my shed. Still works great. so easy to work on it.
Great video, had me nervous for my hand me down Dyson I was cleaning! Can you rinse the purple filter piece or best to only blow it out?
I'm surprised that the customer doesn't clean the machine up a bit prior to bringing it in. I mean, they couldn't get at the clog, but the exterior of the machine and the brushroll are so dirty! Same with the E3 you had in another video that was having a motor problem. That poor vacuum looked like it had seen some stuff!
I would love a video where you go through a "tour" of some of the available attachments. I just got a Sebo E3 Premium and I'm interested in all the different attachments. It would be nice to see them in action. The Sebo website has accessories but doesn't even give a blurb about them.
Very good video. We live in a small town. The vacuum shops like yours are an hr away. We will browse your info and possibly buy from you. We got this Shark from our daughter. She is moving and didn't want it. We were trying to take it apart to clean the roller brush. That is when we discovered the fiasco of a fairly permanent assembly. We watched a couple video's of how to take the head apart and in both some tabs broke. We broke one too. We were down to removing the motor for the head when I searched again and found this video and decided to just reassemble and use it until it dies.
this is why u buy it from costco. return it anytime, and get a dyson
Great video and unfortunately a completely correct one. The vacuum breakdown will also be timed as close as possible to a month or 2 after the standard warranty expiry date. A disgusting mind-set but one that prevails at executive level in a lot of companies now. I took my own sharp apart a few months back before ever seeing this video and encountered all the problems just mentioned but fortunately I have a well-stocked tool-shed and am stubborn as a mule. She's up-and-running now for another while, fingers crossed.
Lots of videos out there like this one. But this one doesn't skip steps and explains the reason behind many steps. Fantastic demonstration. Thank you for making this video!
I got one with a bad Pcb, the kit is expensive. And i believe now discontinue from tacony.
riccar 8000 series and simplicity 7000 series for me!
I guess I got lucky. Shark replaced the complete roller brush assembly under the 5 year warranty and I haven’t had any real problems until now. For some reason there is a big crack in the bottom of the motor housing but the suction is still good. I think I have had my NV501 rotator for about 10 years. Figure about $20/ yr. to own a pretty good vacuum that works well-I’m satisfied. I think I would consider buying the same model again and hope for the best. Hey, I’ll keep the old one for parts.😊
Thank you for the excellent video!
So shark is the apple of the hover world.
Got a damn toy caught up behind the middle brush. What a pain in the ass trying to get this thing apart. That middle screw of course my bit needed a thinner extension. Or a longer speciality tool. Then the snaps getting them back together with the roller side clip. Not for the normal handyman.
Exactly the information I was looking for to remove a clog. Thank you!
Can anyone recommend the best for me in Australia 🙏🏻
Thankyou from Tasmania I did think I was going nuts I keep taking it apart and cleaning it then it seems to work kind of ok but won’t pick up small bits of lint etc / now the roller has stopped working and it’s going to the tip and I’m going searching amongst your channel to find the best replacement option / sadly I have their stick one too 😤😤😤
X7 is much more expensive, right? It's over$1000
Hi! Can you tell me what might be the issue for a shark duo that the rollers stopped spinning in? I noticed in your description you said this would not be the fix. thank you!
I ordered the hose on in the link and it's too small - glue listed won't hold it in. I'm a bit disappointed
What model is your machine
any suggestions on what to do if your hoover is disensing water but not soap? The soap level has not changed in my tank- and its definitely full and switch is in the correct position.
@@MikeOpin There are any number of issues that can lead to this within the change over valves etc. Due to the general diffaculty of sourcing repair components for Hoover branded products our best recomendation is to simply mix the cleaning solution in the clean water tank. Most other modern carpet cleaners do nto have seperate soap containers as it needlessly complicates the design and introduces new failure points.
How do I remove hair buildup from the roller
What bit did you use to take the outer screws out? Mine has a weird almost smooth circle hex type thing
My sharks a few years back were wonderful. Now a replacement hose costs a third of the entire vacuum. There seems to be sharks in the water around here.
My frustration and this video has turned me against shark permanently. Thanks Shark!
I looked at many videos on resolving the Dyson «pulsing» problem. This is the best one I have come across. Thanks!!!
Very nice video. “It’s not you, you’re not crazy”. Just what I needed to hear. I had the screws removed and in my mind I knew I was moments away from breaking plastic tabs. lol.
Thank you for your video! I don't like Shark' business strategy. I do not like wasting a vacuum and creating pollution. I am not planning to buy anything ,Shark.
ROAR!
Did Riccar just Roar at me?
Still Sharks are amazingly innovative, (lift away and still power head like a canister) and they are light weight and quiet. Sucks that they cant be repaired easily. They have amazingly tough belts unlike most other brands. Most all proprietary electronics use protected bits and you can get a complete set of them for less than ten bucks at any Harbor Freight.
Any advice on getting the housing back in place? I cannot get mine to fit back in place correctly.
What similar vac would you recommend in regards to ease of repair and parts availability?
There are two stores in my area (used to be 5) and they are both super aggressive. I get it. Online and package stores are selling plastic junk at great prices (sometimes) and most people can't tell the difference. The thing is, I can, but honestly I don't want to buy from either of them. They immediately showed me their most expensive models (Sebo) before I had a chance to explain my situation and what I was looking for. One promised a 10 yr warranty (5 over the factory) but I'm not sure they're going to be around long enough to honor it.
a year later, you're still coming in clutch 😩👌 (sorry) i've only one had two Dysons that lasted (the OGs), i probably will never get another one, but at least my DC14 FA is good to go for another 10 years. i put the brush back on without the brush rod/caps inserted just to have a little less to have to pull the belt around, seemed to help a bit.
i JUST bought my first Shark... REALLY cheap! when it fails, i'm buying my next vacuum from YOU! thanks!!!
Repeat after me PLANNED OBSOLESENCE. Keep repeating.
i took my older professional NV400 apart and when putting it back together there are two gaskets by the back between the top and bottom that i didnt notice and now i cant find anything about them , ie how to put them back on, i guess they were to lessen the vibration noise, any help?
What about if the switch test ok
Great video, thanks for the help.
Ahh, still a little confused. We only have hardwood floors that seem like they're always covered in dog hair. I've learned my lesson about Sharks, thanks to you guys, but what is a great vacuum (don't care about price) if one doesn't have carpet??
my first pick www.vacuumsrus.com/product/cleaning/vacuumcleaners/sebo/sebo-airbelt-e2-turbo-dark-blue/
If dog hair on the rugs is a major issue though it's worth looking at the E2's big brothers the E3 and D4
@@vacuumsrus Beautiful, thank you so much!! Thank you for the comment below as well, although I don't have carpet or rugs so the Sebo E2 should work. Thanks!!
Many thanks; excellent video!
Thanks for a very informative video. We bought our first Shark a number of years ago and have generally been pleased with its performance. Inevitably it has finally broken down and I am about to investigate the cause. Researching on line videos led me to yours and some others which don't bode well for a successful repair. If we need to replace the machine, then this lack of basic repairability will certainly dissuade us from buying a second Sharp. Its a great shame that an otherwise well designed product is spoilt by this marketing philosophy.
Riccar might be "assembled" in the US but most of the components (aside from the cases) are made in China. Not a bad thing because parts and products made in China can vary widely in terms of quality. What concerns me is how deceptive it appears by making it look like Riccar is "made in America" when it's really not.
You made me feel good spending my hard earn money on a SEBO Felix Onyx, I got it 2 days ago lol. Everyone is questioning my decision on the expensive product I got lmao. Thank you.
I know said he recommends other vacuums in his other videos and I'll go check them out, but does anyone on here have any they can recommend?? Im getting really fed-up with vacuums in general. Ive owned a bissel, dyson, and hoover that have all failed in less than 2 years. This time, i did research and chose a shark, because this one had seemingly good reviews and its failed less than 6 months later. I'm on here, because im trying to figure out how to repair it, but I guess I can't. I dont have money to keep buying vacuums and this is just insanity
So the solution is we need to pay $2000 for a Kirby, or a Hoover, or a Rainbow.
Thank you very much
My problem is mine is like yours but won't extraact
I plan on getting a canister vacuum soon. Would you recommend a new Riccar Canister Vacuum? Are they a good choice? Thanks for posting, great video.
Miele and sebo are more reliable but riccar deep clean better imo.
@@alexsummaria371 Thanks for being the awesome man you are and answering my question. Also, thank you so much for posting this amazing video.
NEVER IN MY LIFE! I be researching about vacuums. What in the adulting am I doing lol. I call this "PRogrEss." Felix has my Heart.
@@JonathanFarelas I am so sorry. We did this to you.
