How to Get a toddler sock from the hose

A toddler sock is stuck in the hose of a shArk lift away kind of by the handle part we took it apart however the hose cannot be removed we can see the sock. Was wondering how to remove the hose we took off all the crews but the hose could not be removed....

Unspool a coat hanger and leave the end that looks like a cork screw alone straighten the rest of the coat hanger then run the coat hanger into the hose till you get to the sock the use the corkscrew end to bore into the sock and once it binds and wont turn any more pull it out

I sucked up a microcloth and used a sewer snake. It was up in the handle part. Saw the answer about a clothes hanger but it was not long enough.

remove the hose from your vacuum. fill it with water making the sock heavy and wet. empty excess water then take the hose outside and swing it around like a helicopter and the sock or whatever will fly out. I just discovered this when my son sucked up a headband. Let the hose dry before using it again or just keep spinning it until its mostly dry and put it back on your vacuum.

this is a serious design problem with the shark. i like the shark because it is light, but it is very difficult to maintain.

Okay. I just had this issue. I took the hose off and used a “zip-it” drain unclogging tool.
