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

I seriously love this vacuum! It’s so easy to move around and clean! The reason I gave it 4 starts is because I’m not thrilled about how cheap the plastic is around the wheels. I’ve had this for less than 2 years and only use it in one carpeted room, and it started to crack, and each use it seems to get worse, to the point that it wouldn’t stand up without me leaning it forward against the wall. Well it fell over and completely broke, so now I have to buy a replacement part, which isn’t covered. So at least it’s only $90, rather than having to buy a whole new vacuum. Just wish the plastic wasn’t so cheap right there. Hoping it doesn’t happen again.

Suction post is great. This is one if the best vacuums Ive used for my couch. Gets ALL the dog hair. It has great turning and maneuvering and I recommend it for all vacuum needs Except stairs.... Its clunky having to hold the can and stick, but it does work well.

Just home use with many animal

Im really impressed with this vacuum! Its so quiet that my dog was curious and watched me vacuum instead of hiding under the bed. The suction is so strong, it pulled a bunch of really fine dust out of my carpet that my old vacuum missed. It also made my house feel fresh and clean instead of prompting an allergy attack. I used the included pet power brush to vacuum my cat tree. Be warned, this attachment is LOUD! My cat who has never been afraid of the vacuum took off at full speed when I turned it on. Aside from the fact that it sounds like a miter saw, it really got ALL the cat hair off my cat tree! I love the powered lift off mode for getting under my bed, but I agree with another reviewer who said the pull of the vacuum is quite aggressive in this mode. Without the weight of the canister, the brush roll is so strong that it propels itself forward, and feels significantly harder to pull back. Its more of a workout than my previous vacuum, but that doesnt bother me too much. I think it would be too strong and heavy for my mom though. It does not do well with small, loose rugs. In low carpet mode it gets stuck in the rollers, and in hard floor mode it gets stuck just from the strong suction! It does good on non-slip rugs though, so I plan to replace my other rugs with those. Overall, Im happy with the Shark Apex, my house has never felt so clean!

This is my second Ninja. The first was a Ninja Rotator I bought in 2018. It failed in 2020. Beyond any repair I could perform. The problem was not one noted in the 5 or 6 troubleshooting tips in their manual. Couldnt find a solution anywhere on Youtube either. It just lost suction. I just accepted my fate ($400 worth) and ordered a new vacuum. As mentioned when these work..theyve got superior suction. When they work there is a WHOLE lot to like about these. So, I bought a new model of the Ninja from Amazon. Another $400 . The Apex, which is advertised as having self-cleaning rollers (dont believe it..they still need cleaned) and all sorts of other little technologies that sounded pretty cool. This was purchased at the end of December this year. Last week it failed. Thats less than 3 months. This time it was really strange. I smelled a little burn..instantly turned off the vacuum (even though these are supposed to shut themselves down when hot to avoid damage). I went through all the trouble-shooting tips. The roller was wrapped in hair. Cleaned out. The hose was full of debris..was able to blow this out. Ive always kept the filters clean so these were not even in the equation. I will say, this vacuum is very easy to get into ANY possible trouble spot..thats the good news. The bad news is, it doesnt matter once you hit the point of no return. Tried to turn it back on. When upright, where you can typically pull out the hose and use it to spot clean, it wouldnt even turn on. When I engaged the floor cleaner it did turn on, but had no power and a very high-pitched whirl. I knew it was fried. Again, there was nothing on the internet that even mentioned this behavior. This time ($800 plus into Ninja products) I took a shot with Amazon perhaps helping me out. And they did. Amazon sent me another unit. Im hoping it will last. If it doesnt last at least 3 or 4 years I will never-ever buy another Ninja. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is based on Amazons integrity and motivation to help out a long time customer like myself. I may not always do business with Ninja, but I will always shop AMAZON!. ****update****. The 2nd replacement(3rd in all) I got is still going strong. Now, Ive replaced all carpet in my home with wood besides a couple area rugs. Undoubtedly that puts less stress on a vacuum cleaner. However, I did add a star to my original review because this 3rd Shark is working like a champ..Love It!

We had a Dyson that was on its last leg. It was only 6 yrs old and had been to the vac dr. Lol I wish I had a video unboxing the Shark! My son and I opened it. He said…umm where’s the vacuum? We assembled it and I went to town vacuuming! It was GREAT!!!! You won’t be disappointed. There are three settings. For the wood/tile surface, the roller basically dusts as it vacuums and eliminates that hue on dark wood floors! It was my nemesis!!! This is huge! The middle setting is for low pile carpet/rug. For this one, LOW! Pile (almost an indoor outdoor pile rug), the vac almost drives itself! It takes off. We have two dogs and one sheds like crazy!!!! I had vacuumed with the Dyson before hand. Well…the Shark pulled so much junk out of my rugs!! Dirt/hair/dander/super fine dust! The third setting is the high pile. We have a crazy shag rug. It’s super high! While it doesn’t drive itself, the Shark is able to handle the rug! I think this rug is what killed the Dyson. Whoops. Love the light on the front. The ability to remove the canister and make it mobile! Ease of vacuuming under furniture! No more moving my couches out. I can vacuum everywhere now! The suction is so strong I’m always sucking up dog toys! So be careful there. It does a great job vacuuming furniture. The cord is plenty long! Love you can clean the filters. I could seriously keep going. Lol my entire family LOVES it! The only negative I can say is the bin is on the smaller side. But that is definitely not a deal breaker. Enjoy your new toy!

I bought this to use on hard floors. It works great at sucking up dust and dust bunnies under the bed. However, it will not pick up bigger pieces off of the hard floor. Things like a dry bread crumb, a tiny piece of popcorn, or a pine needle tracked in from outside will only get pushed along. You have to disconnect the wand part and pick them up individually. The suction from the wand is great, its just not what I was hoping for. I like the novelty of how the components are all modular and are easy to take apart for different jobs. The tool stowage (crevice tool, etc.) is terrible.
