Shark Lift-Away HEPA Filter
$16.99
Product details
Part F679, cross-referenced to Shark's own 1238FT60, is the HEPA filter for the NV150 Lift-Away upright, also listed against the ZU51, CU50, NV255 and ZU60.
Lift-Away uprights separate into a portable canister for stairs and upholstery, and this filter sits at the exhaust end regardless of which configuration the machine is in. A loaded filter shows up as the same two symptoms on either mode: weaker pickup at the floor nozzle, and a faint dusty smell from the exhaust that was not there when the filter was new. Neither symptom means the motor is failing, but both mean the filter has stopped doing its job.
Because the Lift-Away portion detaches and gets used away from the main body, it is easy to forget that both parts of the machine still share this single exhaust filter. Checking it as part of the same routine as emptying the dirt cup, rather than treating the detachable canister as a separate maintenance item, keeps the whole unit performing evenly.
