This Shark Rotator Pet Pro Lift Away is similar to our previous Shark vacuum. It is notably lighter than the older model. The power switch is not located on the handle. It is a red flip switch. The middle switch position is for bare floors and the all the way on position is for carpets. There is an additional switch on the handle for carpet choices. We chose this model because it has the front roller, plus the fin roller. It does a nice job picking up the kitty litter our cats throw out of the litter box. It is also getting a lot of dust and cat hair out of the carpet.

My hubby purchased the Shark Rotator vacuum to replace our old Dyson vacuum. I'm impressed with the suction power of the Shark vacuum and it will literally roll away on its own if I forget to turn it off while the vacuum is idle. This vacuum is lightweight, maneuvers smoothy across the carpet, comes with accessories, and the canister was easy to empty. We're very happy with this purchase!

I only had rechargeable vacuum and I did have the suction strength or the long term use. I saw this Shark on sale and decided to try it. It was easy to put together and operate. I love the deodorizer it’s a great scent. I have 4 dogs and this picks up all their hair. I’m very please with my purchase.

I bought this as a second vacuum, and it is exactly what I needed. The vacuum is easy to assemble and the add ons are even better than my last Shark vacuum as it includes a car clean attachment. I love how versatile the floor options are - I am able to go from carpet to medium shag area rug to hardwood floor very easily without it "locking out" like my last Shark does. We have 4 cats and 3 litter boxes, so this is a great help in keeping control of tracked litter. Also, being able to lift the canister off and add the brush to do the stairs makes quick work of vacuuming those. I do like the scent boost - although I think I smell it more while I am vacuuming then after the fact. I don't know if I would bother to replace that after it is gone. And while the overall suction is good, I do feel like it is a bit less than my last Shark (also purchased at a club store). Overall, very pleased and would recommend, but I am taking a star off by comparison to my original Shark.

I was in need of a vacuum that was lightweight but still powerful - the Shark Rotator Pet Pro Lift-Away totally fit the bill. It was a snap to assemble and offers accessories clean multiple surfaces. A few of negatives : First - power cord is too short. Needed to unplug and replug to cover a large room. Second - placement of the cord from the vacuum is awkward. There is warning of not to run cord over ( and who hasn’t done this?!?)which did occur, chewing through the cord covering ( 3rd negative) I had to use electricians’ tape on a brand new vacuum.

Excellent suction, easy to clean I really Liked the Assortment of Tools provided Along with the machine. I was somewhat biased because I had a similar but smaller vacuum by sharp. I like the large capacity canister some of the crevices inside the chamber appeared to be easier to clean than the previous model. I got this by mail and was able to assemble without reference to the instructions as everything is very intuitive. I have been using half suction Power on my carpet.

Outstanding! Totally out performed my Dyson

Disappointed. This vacuum does not get under furniture and beds like my old shark cacum

Vaccum does not have the expected performance

It is hard to pull backwards; other than that, it is fine.
