A:AnswerI 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.

We are happy to confirm that the Shark® APEX® DuoClean® Powered Lift-Away® has a filter system that will last the life of your vacuum, with minimal maintenance and no replacement costs required. The filters can be washed by rinsing them under warm tap water, and then let them air dry for at least 24 hours. The ilters will discolor over time but will not lose their effectiveness.

A:AnswerI believe it’s a BIG step up from the Shark Navigator Professional Lift-Away that we have been using ... and we LOVED IT ... but the Apex Duo-Clean’s suction is better, the Duo-Clean head makes sure nothing is missed, and the self-propelled head makes it so much easier
A:AnswerPros: The vaccum Shark Apex has the best design, the double action made for front roller combined with the motorizaded brush and the awesome suction power, make this vaccum outstanding, definitely the best cleaning results you can get... But wait, please read cons.
Cons: The quality is the worst you can get, for a $450 vaccum... After 2 months of used it will start to fall apart, if you return to the Best Buy store you will figure out this vaccum does not have a guarantee. If you purchased the extended warranty then they will charge you another $55 to renew your warranty. In less than a year changed 3 vaccums already... I love the cleaning performance but I cannot keeping loosing my money buy this cheap piece of garbage...
A:AnswerThe Shark DuoClean is worth every penny. Mine works great on my shag and treats my wool carpets very well. My house is cleaner and smells better after buying mine.
A:AnswerI could not find a way to purchase the motorized pet tool separately. The only way for me to get what I wanted was to buy the AZ1000 series that came with the attachment.
