Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with DuoClean & Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Crevice Tool, Upholstery Tool & Pet Power Brush, for a Deep Clean on & Above Floors, Espresso

Great suction. Great on dog hair. Really good machine. Very satisfied.

I purchased this because Ive had shark products before. The suction is most important to me and this vacuum meets my needs. I like being able to keep up the maintenance on this machine. Everything is labeled nicely, so its easy to take apart, if needed. Its lightweight, which I like, and works well removing pet hair on furniture. The only downside to this machine is the rotation, its a little more stiff than I expected, which makes it harder to swivel,

Buy it! I was hesitant to buy this vacuum due to price, but it is worth every penny! I have two dogs, hardwood floors, carpet and various area rugs in my house. I can use this vacuum on every surface. Ive had it for a little over a year now. I was putting off cleaning the vacuum because its always such a hassle. Not this one! Super easy to clean. The vacuum is a little heavy than previous ones Ive had, but once you get used to that youll never go back to another vacuum. I use this vacuum probably twice a week and the suction is still as great as day one. There are many different configurations for this vacuum to get every nook and cranny in your house. The canister comes off, but the vacuum head is still attached to the handle. This is perfect for getting under the couch without having to rearrange the furniture.

Bought this because I have two super-shedders. I can vacuum a room and within 5 minutes I have tumbleweeds. Purchased a robotic vacuum which is okay, but I wanted something more heavy duty to run once or twice a week that would pick up more than just surface stuff. Also I was very tired of cutting wrapped up pet hair out of the robotic vacuum. It was driving me crazy as I had to do that every time I ran the thing. Thought this would be the solution since so many pet owners loved it. Will admit the Zero-M is a total game-changer when it comes to not having to clean out the pet hair. This thing sucked the hair right up and not a single strand was clogging the brushes. Thats a flipping miracle considering that I have to take scissors to the robo vac every time I use it. I was really looking forward to getting this vacuum. What I did not expect was it size (which is only exceeded by its ugliness). However, I was willing to overlook the ugly factor if the thing worked great. It did work great but the vacuum is huge. First off it has a giant fat cannister on the front which makes it impossible to get underneath anything, unless you are willing to stop and deal with removing the cannister. I have too many pieces of furniture to do that. Sheesh. So when I was vacuuming the rooms were actually getting LESS clean than they were with the robot vacuum which was going under stuff. Secondly, the thing KILLED my shoulder to vacuum with. Yes I have a minor rotator cuff tear, and yes this thing only weighs 17 lbs, but when you are trying to push against carpeting it is clumsy at best. Especially when you cant get under anything. The handle is huge (tall) and feels like it was designed by a 63 engineer and not the average 54 woman who probably does the majority of vacuuming at most homes. Im 54 and the top of the handle was only about 2 shorter than my shoulder, making for super-awkward movements. Handle also has a weird design that prevents you from being able to pick the machine up easily unless using 2 hands. Last but not least it what I said about the ugly factor. Just about everyone who looked at the vacuum the day it arrived was like whoa whats that...??? The machine has a weird disproportionate factor where the vacuum part that meets the floor seems small in comparison to the rest of the machine making the whole thing look very weirdly top-heavy and the enormous, and very cumbersome canister simply adds to that problem. I have a lot of stairs and cant imagine trying to haul this thing up and down stairs. Ugh. Sorry Shark. How about putting Zero-M on one of the robotics that empties itself -- and mops too! Theres something pet owners actually need. Update: Exchanged this vacuum for the Zero-M DuoClean STICK vacuum which I like MUCH better. It also has a glitch in that it wont stand up on its own (falls over if you take your hands off it - the go around is to remove the canister / motor top part when you stop vacuuming, which sounds like a hassle but it actually pretty easy the way it is designed). Also it is only half as powerful as the upright above, but SO much easier to use.

I like my sharp. I love the fact it cleans carpet and hardwood/ linoleum. The suction could be a little more powerful but its agility and ability to separate from the base makes up for it. I havent used it for my dog yet but with the air filter I can tell the difference just after cleaning a room.

As stated in the headline, this vac has very strong suction, clearly more than my old Shark vac that was replaced due to failure of the brush motor. However, the new vac is also 25-30% heavier than the old vac. Also, I know that the new-design brush roller is supposed to be clog free (and has been so far), but I prefer the old vac chassis that allowed the brush roller to be popped out from the top when necessary.

The Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum is a powerful and versatile cleaning machine that delivers exceptional results. It features a DuoClean system that combines a bristle brush with a soft roller to pick up both large and small debris, and a self-cleaning brush roll that removes hair and other tangled items, ensuring that the vacuum is always in optimal condition. The Apex Powered Lift-Away design is a unique feature that allows the user to easily detach the canister from the vacuum and clean hard-to-reach areas, such as stairs and tight spaces. It is also a very lightweight vacuum, making it easy to move around and use for extended periods without fatigue. The Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum is incredibly powerful, with a motor that delivers exceptional suction power, making it ideal for cleaning carpets, hardwood floors, and other surfaces. It also features an anti-allergen seal that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens, ensuring that the air in your home is cleaner and healthier. Another feature that I appreciate is the LED headlights, which make it easy to see and clean even in dimly lit areas. The vacuum also comes with a variety of attachments, including a crevice tool, upholstery tool, and dusting brush, making it a versatile cleaning machine that can be used for a wide range of cleaning tasks. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum. It is a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use vacuum that delivers exceptional results. If youre looking for a high-quality vacuum that can handle all of your cleaning needs, this product is definitely worth considering.

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so we need a strong, durable vacuum for pet hair and litter and this works great. It’s got strong suction and gets everything up without getting hair wrapped around the bristles. I love that it has a light on the vacuum and the detachable hose too. My only complaint about this vacuum is that is heavy and is not self propelled so it’s taxing to vacuum more than a room or two at a time with it. Wouldn’t be a good option for anyone with arm or shoulder issues.

Have 2 yes 2 Australia shepherd’s. Lots of hair. This vacuum sucked it all up. Loved the dust bin. Easy to clean n wash. Loved the different ways you can detach it. BUT. It stopped working. I suspect the cord. It seemed cheap. I guess I play electrician or buy a new one, which I would buy again.

Great vacuum cleaner - when it runs. After 4 months of infrequent use (rugs, mainly), the brush stopped working. After going through the paces with Sharks support team (45 minutes), they ultimately determined that the floor part of the vacuum didnt work and put in an order to replace it. Then they told me it was going to be $80-some dollars for the unit plus shipping. WTF?? She offered me 50% off. Finally, when I mentioned the 5 year warranty and only then did they agree to replace the part at no cost. Hope this is a one-off situation.
