Why is my Shark Vacuum Cleaner not picking up or has weak suction?

If your Shark Vacuum Cleaner isn't picking up debris or the suction power seems weak, there are several potential causes. First, the dust cup might be full, so you should empty and clean it. Also, the unit could be clogged; turn it off, unplug it, remove the Dust Cup Filter, and check for any obstructions in the air duct. Another possibility is that the HEPA-Type Filter needs cleaning or replacing. Finally, the debris screen might need cleaning.
