Troubleshooting: Shark apex uplight lift – away duoclean vacuum cleaner is not suctioning
Shark apex uplight corded lift - away duoclean vacuum cleaner is a machine with good suction power and many preeminent features that many people trust. However, during use, you may encounter a case where this machine loses suction power or the suction is weak, not as advertised. Actually, this does not mean that this model is not good, but it may be due to a number of factors affecting its suction power. Let's take a look at the basic errors that can cause problems like the above in the article below.

Most cases that have a decrease in suction power is due to some obstruction in the air circulation. First, we must unplug the vacuum to ensure safe operation. Then, check for blockages in the following 4 locations:
1. Dust canister
Each dust cup has a maximum mark on it, and so does the Shark apex vacuum. Make sure that the waste does not exceed this line. It is best to empty the cup after each cleaning session or when it reaches about two-thirds of the cup to ensure hygiene. When the cup is too full, there is not enough room inside the cup for effective airflow. This will result in a decrease or loss of the suction power of the machine. At the same time, leaving a lot of garbage for a long time can also cause health risks for users.
2. Hoses
Checking the hoses for any blockages is the next step. You should remove any string carpet fibers or debris lying in the lap of hoses. You can use a flashlight or phone flash to accurately check the full length of the tube. At the same time, you should also check to see if there are any holes or leaks on the pipe body. The use of light for inspection is also useful in this case. If the pipe body has cracks and leaks, it will lead to the leakage of air when passing through it. Thereby, it will reduce the suction force of the machine. At the same time, this leak also causes dirt to go back and forth into the air. This not only reduces the efficiency of the vacuum; it also harms the health of the user. So you are careful when using it and read more Notable Alternatives To Shark Apex Uplight Vacuum.
3. Brushroll
Although shark apex uplight lift-away duoclean vacuum cleaners have self-cleaning brushroll technology that makes the machine difficult to clog. However, when there is excessive hair, the vacuum still can be clogged. So, you should check the brushroll of the machine to see if there are any blockages. If so, you can use scissors to cut the parts that are too long and hard. This can help you clean up easier.
4. Filter system
Shark apex uplight vacuum has a filtration system consisting of 2 pre-motor filters and 1 post-motor filter. When the filter system is blocked, it also causes a limitation of air flow. Thereby reducing the suction force of the machine. What you need to do is type out all 3 filters above. First, to remove the pre-motor filter, you have to lift the foam filter on the top and the felt filter underneath. Then, to remove the post-motor filter which is HEPA filter, you have to pull the patch underneath the bottom grill. You should wash all 3 filters with lukewarm water and let it air dry for at least 24 hours before putting it back in.
Final thoughts
