You can probably get away with cleaning your Shark’s hose once every few months.
There’s no doubt that the Shark CH950UKT is amongst the best handhelds on the market, but it’s not perfect.One of our biggest complaints is that it’s not as easy to maintain as other handheld options.. For example, the dual foam filters need to be pulled out by hand, rather than removing them using a plastic frame.
This means you need to touch the dirty filters, while also disturbing dust into the air, before you can clean them.. You also can’t remove the brush bar from the pet tool, which makes removing hair more difficult.Additionally, there’s no option to remove and replace the battery..The lack of these convenience features is understandable considering the low price of the vacuum, but they are still something to keep in mind..

Shark HandVac CH950UKT Battery Life.Shark has prioritised suction power over a long battery life.
This makes sense, as the CH950UKT is designed for quick cleaning jobs, but it’s important to have realistic expectations of how long the battery lasts..
According to the product specifications, the 10.8V lithium-ion battery powers the Shark Handvac for up to 10 minutes.Give it a quick shake or tap to dislodge any stuck debris.. Now use the top release tab to open the top lid while holding the cup over the bin.
Again, give it a little shake or tap.We find that hair sometimes gets caught around the metal shroud inside the second compartment of the Shark Lift-Away, so you may need to pull this out by hand (use gloves).. Close both of the lids and reattach the cup to the vacuum.. It’s a good idea to check the pre-motor filter when emptying the vacuum.
If it’s starting to look clogged or dirty, then it’s probably time to clean it..We always recommend emptying bagless vacuums directly into an outdoor bin.
