This vacuum is reasonably easy to maintain. The dirt compartment is quite small, so it needs to be emptied frequently, but it’s not much of a hassle. The latch that opens the dirt compartment can be a bit tricky to access when the vacuum is upright in stick mode, though.
The filters are very easy to access and wash. Shark suggests you wash both pre-motor filters once a month, and the post-motor filter once a year. However, they may need to be cleaned more frequently depending on your usage.
Unfortunately, it’s only possible to access the brush roll by removing the bottom cover of the vacuum head, which makes it a bit of a pain to deal with hair that gets wrapped around the brush head.
