Disappointing - Not a true lift away
I got this vacuum to replace the Shark vacuum I'd had for years after its motor went out. I loved the old vacuum and thought it was very versatile and it picked up all the dog hair and dirt from my floors. I thought this model would be even better because it has the power detect feature and the suction going forward and backwards. It does a good job of cleaning my floors, but I'm very disappointed that it's marketed as a "lift-away" vacuum but the lift-away feature is useless. On my old vacuum, the "pod" would come off of the pole and the head of the vacuum was still attached so I could vacuum under the bed, tables, etc. On this new model the "lift-away" just means the head of the vacuum detaches so you can't vacuum under anything. What's the point of that? I feel like Shark is misleading people with the false advertising in a blatant money grab. I've been using Shark products for many years and have always been pleased on their cleaning performance, but after this intentional misdirection to get people to spend more money, I think I'm going to have to start researching other companies and products.

Lift Away = NO Vacuuming
What's the point of having a Lift Away feature if you CAN'T vacuum UNDER anything? Once the "pod" is separated, the vacuum head with the rollers is inoperable. My previous Shark vacuum at the same price point had this feature. Now it's only offered for the top of the line models. Ridiculous!

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so sorry to hear that the Lift-Away feature didn’t meet your expectations, especially after having a previous Shark model that allowed you to vacuum under furniture more easily. We'll share your comments with our product team so they’re aware of how this change is affecting long-time users. We’re always working to improve our designs, and feedback like yours is incredibly valuable. Kind regards, Shark Clean

Breaks once warranty is up
Good vacuum while it lasts. But once your 2 year warranty is up it breaks and you are out of luck. Guess you need to buy an almost $400 vacuum every 2 years which is quite crazy.

Powerful vacuum
This was a replacement to my previous shark vacuum. I’m very pleased with the power this vacuum offers. One negative I see with this vacuum is the power cord is too short. I have a small 804 sq ft home and I have to move and plug into two different rooms to be able to vacuum my entire house.

Great vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice vacuum. It picks up everything! I love that you can use it on different floor types. It’s not too heavy. It has been easy to maintain so far as well.

Great features! Easy to use! The suction is so gre
I’ve been using my new Vacuum for a couple of weeks now. I absolutely love it! My Dyson quit working on me. So I ordered this Shark. It is lightweight, easy to use and so versatile. I love that the hose can detach and it works so well. Much better than your typical upright vac. Thank you shark! The sickroom is amazing too!!

Expensive for not delivering all promised!
I bought this a few weeks ago in hopes of it being as good as the Shark Apex Duo Clean I had for years. Not quite but okay. Doesn’t pickup going backwards like it says it will. Also have to go over several times on hardwood floors to pickup cat litter.

I love the carpet to floor transition option!
The Lift Away vacuum is so light and so powerful. I love that it’s easy to use the attachments and that the adjustments go from carpeting to wood floors without having to give it any thought.

DOES NOT LIKE PET HAIR
I purchased this vacuum about 1 year ago. First couple of times I used it I hated it from the start. If you have even the smallest snag in your rug it will catch it. Dust collects on the outside of the vacuum from the static. It is not pet hair friendly! You have to dig it out. Do not recommend this vacuum.

Amazing Shark!
Love my new shark! The suction is amazing. It is fairly light to use. The deodorizer, automatic floor detection, and no hair wrap are great features. One thing I would like is for the cord to be a little longer.

love this Vac.
I love it. it has great suction and I like the new roller, where the hair does not get wrapped around it. My only complaint is the cord is really stiff.

Great Suction.
I am a shark user for over 35 years. I finally purchased a new one because my old was slowly falling apart many of the plastic components were becoming so brittle. Shark vacuum have the best suction I have ever seen. So lightweight, great features and so easy to maneuver

When it works it works great.
When it works it works great. Unfortunately after maybe a month of owning the floor type detect sensor gave out and it switches back and forth between carpet and hardwood non stop, making vacuuming impossible unless I put it in manual mode. It also has now decided to suck all air in through this little vent at the bottom of the dust collector bin part that holds all the dirt which is incredibly loud, even though I’ve gone through the entire thing and there’s nothing blocking any of the hoses. For how expensive this vacuum is, I shouldnt have to be putting this much work into figuring out problems instead of vacuuming

A little disappointed
I almost want to send it back because of the plastic cord you put on it. Why ruin a vacuum with a stiff plastic cord. It fights against me , not works with me . As far as the vacuuming goes- it’s ok. I don’t think the backward vacuuming picks up too well
