How to find your Vacuum cleaner model number?
Every vacuum comes with a label that says what model it is. If you have looked at all sides of the product and still can’t find the model number sticker, you can start to look in these places: To find the number of your model:
- Check the back of the vacuum on the lower side
- The base’s backside
- Or on the bottom of the vacuum
- Inside the area where the manufacturer stores the bag
- On the sweeper’s head, usually underneath where suction is made
If you don’t have the sticker but the printing has worn away, there are a few other places you can try. We will help you to identify the model of your vacuum.
1. Check the instruction manual
It isn’t always the best way to figure out which model you have. Even so, it can give you a good idea of the general model of your product—instructions to follow to find out your model number from the manual.
- Check the front cover, which usually has the model number at the top or bottom of the page
- Check the inside cover
- Check the rear cover
2. Check your email invoice
The company prints the model number invoice or receipt when you buy your product for the first time. Since companies often stop making particular models to be replaced with newer ones, it is easy to understand which exact model you have.
3. Check your charger
With so many types of chargers on the market, from different power outputs to varied pin sizes, it can be challenging and potentially dangerous to identify a replacement just by looking at the original.
Most chargers will come with their model number printed on the plug, but rather than a sticker, this is often as embossed text which can be hard to read. If you can make out the device code or number on the plug, take a note of it, and enter it into your model search.

What will happen if I vacuum without a filter?
Suction may improve. But without a HEPA filter, your vacuum can’t filter out particular floor dust. Some dust will be released into the air, causing you to sneeze and settle on other surfaces.
Can I vacuum my floor with a wet filter?
