Shark ZU782 Rotator Lift-Away DuoClean Pro Upright Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll, DuoClean, HEPA Filter, Headlights, Swivel Steering, Upholstery Tool, Pet Power Brush & Crevice Tool, Sage Green

I got this ZU782 Rotator to replace a Shark Navigator Powered Lift Away Pet (nv586). Our house is mostly hardwood now, and we use a Shark ION Flex with DuoClean - its awesome for hardwoods, the front roller does a great job polishing the wood and picking up ANYTHING large. I figured this model would be great on carpet as well - but despite the ridiculously high suction this vacuum has, the Zero M brush does NOT agitate the carpet enough. I vacuumed a 10-sqft section of carpet with this vacuum, and noticed the brush lines in the carpet were very fine, but not very pronounced. I took my Shark Navigator, emptied the bin out and vacuumed the same section again. The amount of dirt and dog hair the ZU782 left behind was ASTONISHING! The Navigator has a traditional brush head that is powered, and very similar suction power - but that brush head is planted much closer to the carpet than the ZU782 has the Zero M roller positioned and I think that is what makes all the difference on carpet. The wand on the ZU782 has a larger diameter hose thats longer than my navigators, and its on a really nice swivel as well. It comes with a air powered wand attachment - I had one on a old Dyson and found it to be mediocre. It is also NOT a powered lift away - meaning when you lift away the base with motor - the main brush head is detached and can not be used separately as the navigators can - though its not a super useful less going under beds.

I paid for and ordered a NEW vacuum. As I unpacked my vacuum, I started to notice that there was minimal packaging. A bit odd, but I kept going. Then as I read the manual to assemble and use, I get to the end and see that it is a refurbished product with a 90 day warranty. I’m asking for a refund. This is unacceptable. I carefully selected a NEW price option and nothing in the description says it is not new.

The only thing that I was disappointed about was I thought all liftaways meant it has capability to clean under furniture like my old shark. It has to say “powered” lift away for that option. Also is a little heavier than the last shark. Gave to daughter in law and ordered correct model

It looks nice but very heavy, not suitable to carry up, down steps. I have more than one shark vacuum. It is my favorite kind. The older versions seemed to have better suction than the newer ones, the earlier versions of the lift away where the power head could go under furniture was way better. I’ll use it around the house. I bought it to go in an office I work to keep there but too heavy to carry up & down steps. I don’t like it compared to the recent ones I have purchased. The headlights is definitely something I love on the vacuum!

THIS IS THE BEST PURCHASE I MADE IN 2020! The power on this baby is amazing! And the Lift-Away feature is my absolute favorite! This has made my life so much easier! Not only is it faster/easier to vacuum my stairs, and couches, but the Shark picks up soooooo much more dirt and hair than any vacuum Ive owned! I only have 2 complaints about this vacuum. (Theyre not so important to me, but they may be deciding factors for others) 1. Its HEAVY! This bad boy packs some weight. Although it moves easily and smoothly, holding it up can be a challenge. To add to this its on the tall side. So a short 52 lady like myself has to hold it lower, where Im supporting more of its weight. 2. The uncloggable brush roll is fake news. I have a long haired dog, a long haired cat, and a long haired self. I have to clean out the brush roll every 4th use or so. Ill admit, I also dont vacuum as often as Im supposed to.. HOWEVER! The brush roll is SO EASY to get to and SO EASY to clean! I highly recommend this vacuum to everyone!

This is a great vacuum. Very easy to use. Great suction. Its like a mini shop vac. It picks up alot of dirt and dog hair. Great for steps and upholstery. You will love it!!

We have two corgis and this is a life saver. I had an older model ( which I still loved) but it would always blow around hair. Design is better for this one. Picks up soooo much! A little on heavier side but fine with me.very happy with my purchase. Edit: we’ve had this now about 7 months. I still think it’s decent but not made as well as my last one. Already a few connection issues with the rotator brush… has to be trouble shooted occasionally since it won’t spin. Also I had to send it back under warranty because the wire somehow became frayed. I doubt this one will last as long as my older model but I’m glad I got it on sale.

After I tried a shark product that I bought from Kohls. This was my second and I got a third VacMop. So I am retiring my older brand (Hoover) and becoming Sharker! The Good: (1) powerful suction, (3) ease of use for stairs, (3) light weight and (4) functional. Not related to this particular product but I wonder if a credit for my VacMop could be provided which stopped working due to plastic part holding a piece to the hose got broken!

This is an excellent vacuum for hard surfaces flooring and carpet. It cleans up nicely, the filters are easy to clean, and I love how its multi-functional. Its a little heavy to move around on the carpet but it does an amazing job.

Works well keeping the rug free of dirt and dog fur. Somewhat heavy I would not recommend for seniors
