“I just bought this vacuum yesterday and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to bend the vacuum. It stays upright. On all of my vacuums, there is usually a button or foot control that allows the vacuum to bend so I can get under hard to reach areas”

I bought this vacuum cleaner last week. The question about the tilting the handle back is my question too. Although the vacuum works well otherwise, the tilt function for the handle is VERY POORLY DESIGNED. I have put my foot on the image and tried to tilt back numerous times. And I've watched videos online. The model I purchased does not work like the ones I have seen, and it doesn't even appear to have the same place to step on to tilt. I've use the vac about 5 times so far and managed to tilt the handle twice by trial and error. I am still thinking about returning this product. Also, the directions that came in the box don't even explain or show a decent illustration about this feature. I would not buy this brand again.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.12/12/2024.I just bought the Shark Navigator deluxe. It is impossible to pull back the handle of the vacuum to do floors or carpet using it as an upright vacuum. I am returning it. They should have a foot lever for ease of use. I don't know what their engineers /designers were thinking. Ease of use comes first.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You simply put your foot on the vacuum head to hold it down and tilt the handle back to bend. This also activates the roller in the head.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We can assist you with being able to tilt the handle back. You would just need to place your foot on the floor nozzle and pull back on the handle. The first few times you may need to use a little more force when pulling back on the handle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On the left side of the vacuum head, there is a little foot image. Place your foot there to release the head.
