To get anything done these days, you need to have information about your products. You can’t just go into the store and say your vacuum isn’t working. The manufacturer will need to have more information about the model and the kind of vacuum you use. This is where the wonders of model and serial number tracking come into play. So does your Shark vacuum have a serial number?
In truth, your Shark vacuums don’t really care much for serial numbers. Instead, you should try and identify the model number of the Shark vacuum you are using. You can find this number on the box, on the main body of the vacuum,or the manual. With this information, you can register the vacuum and even get replacement parts in the future.
So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading our article so we can tell you all about the Shark vacuum and how to identify its model number. With this information in mind, you can get the best idea of how to get support and care with your identified model number.
How To Find Your Shark Vacuum Serial Number
As mentioned above, your Shark vacuum will tell you your model number instead of a unique serial code. You can find this number in three places, so note it down and keep it somewhere safe.
On The Shark Vacuum Box
When you purchase the Shark vacuum, it will arrive at your house in a box. At the very bottom of this box, there will be some information and a bar code. The information includes your model number. However, it’s pretty easy to lose a box, so remember to take a picture or write it down to avoid losing the number if you throw the box out.
In The Shark Vacuum Manual
Let’s say you have already thrown out your Shark vacuum box. If that is the case, you don’t need to lose hope just yet. After all, your model number is also available for you to see when you check the instructional manual that came with the vacuum. It will be right on the front page.
On The Shark Vacuum Itself
Finally, if there’s one thing you’re probably not going to lose, it is the Shark vacuum itself. The vacuum will always have a label with all of the necessary information. In most cases, this label is at the back of the vacuum and includes information about the model number.

How Are Serial Numbers and Model Numbers Different?
There is a big difference between a serial number and a model number. Serial numbers are unique and are assigned to products in an incremental pattern. That means, for example, that when product A is created, it will be assigned a 1, and B, right after that, will be assigned a 2, and so on.
On the other hand, a model number is a similar number that a company will assign to a particular device or its design. Therefore, a model number is not unique – many of the machines from the same design will have a similar model number. This is, therefore, a broader category to work with.
A manufacturer will create model numbers and use them because it makes it easier to understand how to replace and care for different parts. While serial numbers are adequate to track inventory or effectiveness over time, the two numbers have different applications.

Get Replacement Parts
No vacuum can last forever. The lucky thing is that Shark also creates replacement parts for each model that you can easily buy to improve the life of your vacuum in terms of longevity. However, to purchase replacement parts, you need to know the model number.
This is because when it comes to Shark vacuums., there are no interchangeable vacuum parts. All parts are always specific to the model, so you can’t just pick parts at random as they will most likely not even fit your vacuum.
