Shark NV85 Vacuum F.A.Q.

How do I clean the filters on my Shark NV85 Vacuum?

To clean the filters, remove the pre-motor foam and felt filters and wash them under lukewarm water. Let them air dry completely before reinserting. This should be done every three months for optimal performance.

What should I do if the Shark NV85 loses suction power?

Check for blockages in the hose and attachments, clean or replace filters if necessary, and ensure the dust cup is empty. If the issue persists, inspect for any obstructions in the brush roll.

How can I maintain the brush roll on my Shark NV85?

Regularly check the brush roll for tangled hair and debris. Use scissors to carefully cut away any entangled materials, ensuring the roll spins freely. This should be done monthly or as needed.

Why is my Shark NV85 vacuum making a loud noise?

A loud noise may indicate a blockage or an issue with the brush roll. Check for obstructions in the hose and nozzle, and ensure the brush roll is clear of debris. If the noise continues, inspect the motor for issues.

Store your vacuum in a cool, dry place. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped and the vacuum is in an upright position to prevent damage to the brush roll and other components.

Empty the dust cup after every use to maintain optimal suction and prevent dust from clogging the filters. This will also help prolong the life of the vacuum.
