This vacuum is is powerful and very lightweight
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While it is lighter than traditional upright vacs, lift away is NOT that light and the canister gets heavy after a few minutes. But for upright vacuuming, it's a breeze.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would suggest it. Easy to handle and plenty of power.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Anonymous, I have RA and my wrists and hands are in constant pain and limited in use. This Shark Ion Cord-Free Powered Lift-Away is so easy for me to use because it has a brushroll, which grips your carpet and actually propels the upright unit forward. It swivels with ease, which Is important to me because I have limited use of turning my wrists. It has powerful suction and allows you to use the Lift-Away independent of the upright vacuum for dusting and cleaning hard to reach spaces, and under furniture with no more then 3 inches of clearance. Hope this helps you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can't go wrong with the P50, it's plenty powerful and with the optional motorized pet brush, should be able to take of furniture and window treatments as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a 12lb vacuum - so not the lightest but it's also a combination upright, stick and hand vacuum. You can separate the pieces to make it lighter to carry - one in each hand - and can even vacuum like that. I think it's pretty powerful for being electric - and states it can run up to 50 minutes on a charge.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have tried several and this is the best one. You will love the Shark - ION™ P50 Powered-Lift Away IC162 Cordless Upright Vacuum.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's not the lightest vacuum in the stick-vac market, but it's not heavy by any means. If you can hold the motor in your off-hand or set the motor on the ground then it is far lighter than any other stick vac. It has great power, and the dual-head system makes it more efficient at picking up things than any single head vac I've seen in the segment. That said, a Dyson V8/V10 or some of Shark's other stick vacs is going to be lighter overall than this one.
