[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While The Shark® Rotator® Powered Lift-Away® with Self-Cleaning Brushroll Upright Vacuum came unassembled it was super easy to (literally) snap together. It comes with 2 different attachments, which I had no idea until I saw them in the box. A longer tube for harder to reach areas, then a brush which is great for furniture and pet hair. After snapping all the pieces together, I was ready to test her out. You can use this vacuum on hardwood, low carpet, and high carpet/area rugs. I have hardwood floors and an area rugs that gets a lot of traffic. I have a pug who sheds so much, I don't know how he still has hair on his body, but yet he does (and a lot of it!) I plugged the vacuum in and was ready to go. I left the setting on hardwood floors even when I vacuumed the area rug, which I wouldn't recommend because it kept getting stuck. The best part of this vacuum is the headlights!! I didn't realize how much hair and dirt I would miss with a traditional vacuum without the headlights... they make such a huge difference! The suction on this thing is out of this world, I swear. I was extremely impressed at how well this vacuum picked up things, big and small. if you run out of cord or need to reach up in the corners of your house, you can lift away the body of the vacuum to give you a little more reach, though its really not the easiest thing to do. You can also disconnect the hose at 2 different spots, depending on how much reach you need. The vacuum is NOT lightweight. I'm used to a smaller cordless vacuum so this one gave my arms a little bit of a workout. Still, I would pick this vacuum over the smaller cordless vacuum because this one is packed with different features and is a very powerful vacuum (plus its great for my arms lol) Emptying the bin is as easy as a press of a button, quite literally! No more messes from having to remove the filter then dumping. Just press a button and the bottom falls away and empties into the trash. I am so impressed with this vacuum, I can't believe I was satisfied with what I had before! This vacuum changes the game and I can't be happier about it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has the fantastic performance I've come to expect from Shark products. It was easy to assemble, less than 5 minutes start to finish. For the first use, I ran my old vacuum first just to see how the performance would stack up. After running the old one, I ran the Shark, and filled half the receptable with dirt and pet hair. Shark picked up what the Hoover left behind very well. The features are useful, I like the lift away so I can reach higher areas like the top of drapes and cobwebs in the corners of the room. When using the wand, there is a snap in ball type connector that holds the hose in place in floor mode that has to snap out. That seems ok, but it also seems like it will be something that breaks in the future, so that could have been done better. This comes with a basic wand end and pet hair accessory, but there are many available accessories available for purchase. I like the brush, it is a unique design that cleans itself supposedly, and it has worked well so far, no hair wrapped around the brush roll, and I have several long haired people in my house. Overall, great as expected and highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The assembly was simple and intuitive. The attachments are functional and light. Only complaint is that the hose attachment didn't seem to fit 100% perfectly like everything else. Quality product. My wife thinks she might like it better than her Dyson.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum. It has great suction and picks up even after other vacuums have cleaned. The lift away is easy to use and makes cleaning stairs and hard to reach areas a breeze. Great product and I would recommend to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is easy to assemble. It was out of the box and running in under 5 minutes. It has a decent sized dirt trap and very good suction. The filters can be removed and cleaned. The only con is the length of the cord. You cannot cover much ground without having to unplug and move to another outlet.

I bought this vacuum 3 years ago, have 3 dogs that shed constantly and this vacuum has Cleaned up all that hair with no problems. And, where I live is windy and dusty all the time - no problems with that either. Another reason I recommend it is that you can take it apart and clean all parts with no tools or frustration. Well designed for maintaining the vac. People who complain probably don't clean the parts and wash the parts that can be washed. Read the booklet and learn how to take it apart for cleaning. I waited 3 years to write this, just to see if there were any problems and there have been none. The lift away feature is an extremely useful way to clean difficult areas - like under beds or to reach higher places.

This vacuum works so well. I bought it to replace a Bissell that I had for years. Vacuumed with this Shark for the first time and realized how terribly my previous vacuum was operating. It has great suction and picks up pet hair quite well. The self cleaning brush roll is an amazing feature. 10/10 recommend it to anyone with pets or with family members with long hair!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really nice vacuum. As pet parents know the floof can get everywhere so the self clean brush is a fantastic idea. I love that you can detach part of the machine to make it easy to clean up higher, thats a real plus right there. I also like the dust cup, i dont have to hunt for what style bags to get all the time. This vaciuum is going to really come in handy plus it has some helpful attachments to make cleaning easier. I wasnt that familiar with shark brand products before but i am finding out they make a lot of really neat products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time i have used a Shark vacuum. It is awesome. It was easy to put together. Points for no screws. I have carpets and hardfloors. It works perfectly on bus. It is easy to empty. Itjust glides across the floors.

This model functions the same way the other dozen or so models they make, suction is good, but the hose has gotten shorter with time, and there is no floor attachment to use for hard surfaces. Most modern homes are not wall to wall carpet anymore so this vacuum is really best for carpets. It's very heavy and hard to use on stairs. The model from 4 years ago was made much better than this one, it came with a floor attachment and was lighter in weight, and the hose was longer as well as the cord.
