General questions:
What does “Never Loses Suction” mean?
Never Loses Suction is an advanced cyclonic technology that separates fine dirt from the air, preventing dirt from clogging the filters and keeping suction power strong over time. The vacuum maintains its suction power so you never lose cleaning power.
Where is the product manufactured?
It is manufactured by our high-quality vacuum manufacturing partners in China.
What is the little switch on the nozzle near the foot pedal?

What is the difference between the carpet brush roll and the bare floor brush roll?
The carpet brush roll has stiffer bristles that are meant to engage with carpeted surface to lift embedded debris. This brush roll can be used on both bare floors and carpets.
The bare floor brush roll has four strips of soft bristles that are meant to engage with bare floor surfaces to dust and shine your hard floors. This brush roll can also be used on area rugs and carpeted areas for surface litter cleaning. The bare floor brush roll can be used in both slow and fast speed settings.
Can I adjust the suction for use on deep carpets?

General questions about maintenance:
How do I empty the dust cup?
Make sure the unit is unplugged first. Step on the dust-cup release pedal located on the left side at the base of the wand. The dust cup will “pop up” and present itself. Lift the dust cup off the platform. Hold the dust cup over the trash and press the bottom door release button on the front to empty. Tap gently to empty contents or wipe clean with a soft cloth. Press the door shut again until it clicks. To reattach, set dust-cup back on platform, using your hand or foot, guide the dust-cup back on to the main nozzle body and press firmly in the middle of the dust-cup (not along the handle portion).
When and how often should I empty the dust cup?
We recommend you empty the dust cup when it reaches the max fill line or appears to be full.
How often should I wash the filters?
We recommend every month. To wash, remove the dust-cup from the nozzle body. Press the filter access button on the dust-cup body, remove the foam and felt filters underneath, wash both with tap water until the water runs clean, then air dry completely and replace back into your vacuum. You can also tap loose dirt off filters between washes as needed. It is important to note that your foam filters may appear dirty after first use ” this is normal. These filters will discolor over time ” this is also normal. Extra filters are available on SharkRocket.com if you want to purchase a “spare’ set to keep on hand, but the good news is that these filters will last the lifetime of the vacuum.
Can I wash the brushroll?
Yes, the brush roll can be rinsed under running water. Let air dry completely before reinstalling and using in the vacuum.
