QuestionUnable to separate lift away from base when pushing red button that says lift away Nothing moves.
Asked 7 years ago by LYNNE.
- Answer Hi Lynne, this may sound basic, but I made this mistake. The unit won't lift off if the cord is wound up around both brackets... the way you're supposed to wind the cord after you're finished vacuuming. Also, I put my foot on the base as I lift up from both the handle and the top of the canister. It should come off that way. Good luck.

QuestionDo the Shark vacuum cleaner run by a belt and what size belt do it run by.
Asked 7 years ago by G.
- Answer Hello G, We would like you to know that the Shark® Rotator® Professional Lift-Away® NV501 Bagless Upright Vacuum does use a belt; however, the Shark Rotator®'s intelligent electronic system will shut off the power nozzle motor to avoid belt wear if the brushroll is blocked by a large object, such as a sock or carpet edge. Simply turn off the power, unplug the vacuum, remove the obstruction, and return to vacuuming, with no belt maintenance or replacement costs to worry about. We hope this information helps.

QuestionCan you clean the HepA filter or does it have to be replaced, and if so how often?
Asked 7 years ago by Sunny.
- Answer Hello Sunny, We are happy to inform you that you can wash the HEPA filter. We recommend washing it once every 12 months. To wash the HEPA filter, rinse it under warm tap water until the water goes through clean. Do not use any soap. Once it is clean, give it a light shake to get rid of any excess water, and then let it air dry for at least 24 hours. We recommend doing the same thing to the pre-motor (foam & felt) filters once every 3 months. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team

QuestionDoes it go from carpet to Hardwood
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Honestly mine doesn’t. It does not have the suction I think a shark vacuum should have. If you turn on the power mode the brush turns on underneath and then it spits dirt out. If you look above someone else also has this problem. It’s been doing this since the first day I got it. It works amazing on carpet but horrible on hardwoords

QuestionIs this vacum waterproof ?
Asked 8 years ago by LilShark.
- Answer No. If you want a wet/dry vac, get a shop vac. This is a normal indoor vacuum cleaner that is not meant for steam cleaning, vacuuming up liquids, or being hosed off or wet in any way. The filters come out to clean and they must be fully dry before putting them back into the machine.

QuestionWhat are the differences between the model NV501 and NV681
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, This is a good question. This Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Hepa Bagless 2-in-1 Upright vacuum (model#NV501) is actually an older version of the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed (model#NV681. Although both has pretty similar suction power, the updated version comes with the advanced swivel steering and on-board tools. The accessories are also different in each package. I hope this information was useful. Thanks Best Regards, Customer Service Team
