Quick overview
Your vacuum’s Model Number identifies the design and features, while the Serial Number is unique to your specific unit. Both are needed for repairs, parts replacement, and warranty registration.
Common places to check
Most vacuums have a Label or Plate on the back or bottom of the unit.
Some models place the label inside the Dust Compartment or Bag Area.
Check removable parts or attachment areas for stickers.
Documents may list both model and serial numbers.

Troubleshooting if you can't find it
- Check the back or bottom panel carefully.
- Inspect inside the dust bin or bag compartment.
- Look under removable hoses or attachments.
- If still missing, check your purchase receipt or warranty card.
What to do with the numbers
- Register your vacuum online for warranty and service support.
- Provide both numbers when requesting parts or scheduling repairs.
- Keep a photo of the label for quick reference.
- Use the model number to download the correct user manual.
🧠 Tip: Vacuum serial numbers are usually 8–12 characters long and may include letters and numbers (e.g., DY12345678). Models often include brand and series (e.g., Dyson V11 Torque Drive, Shark NV356E).
🔒 Privacy & Safety Note
Do not post your serial number online — it’s unique to your unit and may be required for warranty or support verification.
