Shark POWERDETECT Upright Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Filter, Heavy Duty Vacuum with Powerful Suction for Pet Hair Pickup, DuoClean Technology, Powered Lift-Away, Ideal for Carpets… by Shark

I wanted to give myself time to use the vacuum all around the house and on all surfaces before I gave a review and let me just say that this is probably the best vacuum I have ever owned. I have been an avid user of Dyson vacs for probably 20 years now but after my last one died after 12 years of service I decided to see what my options were. I read tons of articles and reviews looking for a versatile vacuum that would pick up the never ending dog tumbleweeds that my double coated German Shepherd Mix leaves all over my house, while also being easy to handle, not too heavy, and would empty out without me having to stick my hands in the canister (gag). This vacuum checks all those boxes. I had a professional cleaner come and do a deep clean on our new home and this vacuum picked up things that not even the cleaner got. You can instantly see surfaces cleaner after one swipe and it easily gets into every nook and cranny. The light on the front is helpful in identifying spots I missed in areas that aren’t well lit and the cleaning attachment with the rotary blades makes cleaning stairs a breeze. It does the work of a much more expensive vacuum for a reasonable price tag. It is absolutely worth every penny and then some for a super clean home.

I have owned this vacuum now for over three years. I live with two Labs that shed contently and need to vacuum daily. I have owned at least seven different vacs over the past 40 years always living with multiple dogs.

This vac has outperformed all the vacuums that I have used. It is so well engineered and thoughtfully put together. The suction is incredible the rollers never get bunged up or clogged with hair. The ease of removing the main body from the business end of the vac allows for easy access to under furniture or use on stairs, not to mention the extra reach from the power plug that is obtained at least 5more feet.

Clean out is a breeze with the trap door on the bin and the additional top door opening.

It is such a good vacuum that I purchased one as a bonus for my G.M. when she mentioned she was looking for a vacuum. Although the cost is more than a lot of vacs but not as munch as the cordless hyped alternatives under the “D****” brand.

Buy this vac you will not regret it.

La mejor aspiradora que he tenido. Es súper potente, de verdad que no encontraras nada igual en ninguna otra aspiradora vertical. Tengo además dos roombas para el trabajo diario. Pero la Shark Vertex se lleva todos los honores en los trabajos más difíciles, desde aspirar brillantina y arena hasta cereal y croquetas de perro. Y aunque es un poco pesada nada se le compara a la hora de succionar todo a su paso. 100% recomendada.

Oh my goodness! This vacuum is amazing!! This guy picks up everything I couldn’t even see and that my Bissell Power Force Helix Turbo couldn’t get! I already vacuumed with it then used this Shark Stratos. The bin was full and I only vacuumed my walk in closet!! What the heck?! I routinely clean my old vacuum but this one is insanely good! My carpet FEELS clean! Huge difference!

It’s pretty easy to put together and use. All the buttons/levers to change how you use it are very well labeled and pretty obvious to use. It’s fairly heavy HOWEVER it’s really not an issue. The wheels are so incredibly smooth and on high pile setting it glides along for you. Pushing or pulling is super easy! If you don’t want to pick up the entire vacuum, you have many options to configure it if you want to vacuum corners or stairs to lighten the vacuum. You can assemble it so you only have the pole to vacuum under beds or dressers.

I have the AZ3002 model for reference. It’s a corded upright so no need to worry about battery life. You have 3 floor settings: thick carpet/area rug cleaning, carpet/low pile carpet cleaning, and hard floor cleaning. I tried it on each different surface in my home and it’s great! Suction is out of this world!! I love that it has a white light especially on hardwood to see the difference. The light also changes colors if there’s an issue that needs to be addressed. No issues have been had though. It comes with an odor cartridge that makes the floor smell awesome too! You can dial it way up for max freshness or turn it off completely if smells bother you.

My dog’s area near his cage where he usually hangs out seems clean as I vacuum it nearly everyday. Nope! This vacuum picked up his hair I couldn’t even see, the carpet visibly is lighter in color now!!

It comes with 3 attachments: crevice tool, upholstery tool and the pet multi tool. There are plenty more attachments to get which I certainly will be doing!

I’m floored! If you can afford this, do it! Do the payment plans, something! It’s so worth it!
