How and when do I adjust the suction?

The settings on the suction control slider on the handle adjusts suction power.

Note: Ensure the power/surface switch is set to the correct floor type before adjusting suction power.

  • For low pile carpets, set the suction control slider to MAX for best results.
  • For high-pile carpets or area rugs, set the suction control slider to MIN. Using less suction will improve maneuverability and make it easier to push and pull the vacuum.
  • For hard floors, set the suction slider to the MAX setting.

How do I assemble my vacuum?

  • Insert the wand into the pod.
  • Insert the handle into the wand.
  • Connect the hose into the back of the pod, until it clicks into place.

For proper operation, ensure all parts are firmly clicked into place.

How do I clean above floors with or without accessories?

Press the handle release button on the back of the handle. Gently pull up on the handle to remove it from the wand.

For more cleaning reach, leave the handle on the wand, and detach the wand from the floor nozzle. Press the Wand Release button on the top of the pod, then gently pull up on the handle to remove the wand.

Attach an accessory to the handle or the wand and begin cleaning.

How do I use the different cleaning modes?

This Shark® vacuum has three powerful settings for cleaning located right below the power button.

To clean bare floors, tile, and low pile area rugs:

  • Slide the surface selector switch to Hard Floor.
  • Press the power button, tilt the handle back while gently stepping on the floor nozzle. Note that the brushroll will spin slower in this mode.

Note: Use Hard Floor setting for max suction when cleaning above floors and for easier maneuverability on low pile area rugs

To clean low pile carpets:

  • Slide the surface selector switch to the middle setting; Carpet/Low Pile .
  • Tilt the handle back while gently stepping on the floor nozzle.

To clean thick carpets:

  • Slide the surface selector switch to the top setting; Thick Carpet.
  • Tilt the handle back while gently stepping on the floor nozzle. Note that the brushroll will spin in faster this mode.

Note: Move the suction control slider on the handle to MIN to reduce suction when vacuuming carpets. Slide to MAX for more suction on bare floors.

When and how do I clean the filters?

Filters may need to be cleaned if the vacuum stops picking up dirt, if airflow is restricted, or if you notice lighter or no suction. For optimal performance, clean filters regularly. Between cleanings, lightly tap filters over a trash receptacle to remove dust and debris as needed.

Rinse the pre-motor foam and felt filters every 3 months, or as needed.

  • First, remove the dust cup to access the pre-motor filters.
  • Slide up the release latches on both sides of the dust cup handle. Lift the dust cup up and away from the pod.
  • Remove the foam and felt filters.
  • Rinse both filters with water only.
  • Allow filters to air-dry completely (at least 24 hours) before reinstalling.
  • Once dry, install the felt filter first, followed by the foam filter.
  • Reinstall the dust cup by placing the bottom of the dust cup into the pod and then tilting until it clicks into place.

Rinse the post-motor HEPA filter every 12 months, or as needed.

  • Pull the latch under the HEPA filter cover and lift off the cover. This is located underneath the Lift-Away® logo on the bottom of the pod.
  • Remove the HEPA filter by pulling on the tab underneath the pod.
  • Rinse with water only.
  • Allow filter to air-dry completely (at least 24 hours) before reinstalling.
  • Once dry, reinstall the HEPA filter.
  • Reattach the HEPA filter cover until it clicks into place.

When and how do I empty the dust cup?

For optimal performance, empty the dust cup each time you vacuum, or when debris reaches the MAX FILL line.

  • Slide up the release latches on both sides of the dust cup handle. Lift the dust cup up and away from the pod.
  • Hold the dust cup over the trash and press the bottom door release button on the back.
  • Tap gently to empty contents.
  • Close the dust cup door, pressing it until it clicks into place.
  • If needed, turn the dust cup upside down over the trash and pull the top door release tab.
  • Tap gently to remove contents. Clear debris from the cone-shaped screen.
  • Wipe the interior of the dust cup clean.
  • To reinstall, place bottom of dust cup into the pod and then tilt until it clicks into place.

Is the shark rotator worth it?

The Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away is great for low-pile carpet. It easily cleans all hair and large debris like sand and still sucks up a very good amount of small debris like baking soda. It has a decent build quality and it's not hard to maintain but there are a lot of parts that you need to clean regularly.

What is the difference between a Shark Navigator and rotator?

The Navigator can hold 2.2 quarts of dry debris, while the Rotator can only hold 1.3 quarts of dry debris. The Rotator comes with a few more advanced accessories, while the Navigator's accessories are more basic. BELLS AND WHISTLES | The Shark Navigator is a bit more of a “base model” than the Rotator, in my opinion.
