I love this vacuum but it is not very good for stairs. I tried using the handheld canister with an attachment but that didn’t get the carpeted stairs clean. I now use the power head but it is heavy to lift.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The accessory brush works great on my stairs and also on the carpets of the car. This is the best Shark I have had so far (and I had a few). The suction is great and it makes cleaning a joy. I recommend this for your stairs; you'll love it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The nice thing about the Shark is that you can detach the vacuum with hose from the rotary brush and handle. Just carry the motor and tank in one hand and the hose in the other. Carpet? Wood stair is easy but if you require rotary brush, you will just have to carry the whole heavy unit up each step. But really, I don't know why anybody would carpet a stair. At most, just put a narrower carpet runner up a wood stair.
