    Really like the vacuum. Our Dyson died after just two years, just wear and tear. Instead of paying $100 to get it fixed we paid just over 2x that for this brand new Shark. We love it so far. Hope it's built to last a lot longer than the Dyson was.

    We bought this to replace the exact same model, which had lasted 10 years and simply wore out. This is a great vacuum and will last a long time.

    I had a Shark very similar to this one that I bought 6 years ago. The brush quit turning, so I bought this one. It is a very good machine. The only thing I don't like is that the hose plugs into the back and can pop out too easily, but that's not too big of an issue.

    This vacuum is amazing. I have 2 dogs who shed a good bit. This vacuum picks up so much hair and dirt, its incredible. I use the hand held attachment and it literally leaves clean lines on my couch. My mom used it once and went and bought one. Worth it!

    We just bought the shark a few weeks ago but we are extremely happy with its performance. It picks up so much more dirt and dog hair than our last vacuum. Its lightweight and pretty quiet. I definitely would recommend to everyone. Its awesome.

    Top Heavy and Swivel Head Hurt My Back

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wanted to like this vacuum, I like it's features, and it's ease of using the attachments, and the ease of emptying the canister. The suction is very strong and it cleans well. The cord is long and I like having lights to see the debris on the floor. But the first two times I used this vacuum I had severe back pain for a week afterwards!! I haven't used it since! I attribute this to the heaviness of the vacuum and the swivel head that you have to hold up/control or it will teeter to the side. I also was unable vacuum under the coffee table because of the bulky design. Lastly, I wish it had an adjustment for carpet height. So, I wish this vacuum met my needs, but these problems are deal-breakers (back breakers!) for me. I see now that what I need is a canister vacuum, but I haven't found one that is bagless...This vacuum however, will be returned.

    This is one of the best purchased I made. Love all the attachments also I like the fact that he has LED lights I actually can see the dirt and dust on the hardwood floor that I missed with my old vacuum. I really love this vacuum, I even bought another one as a gift for my grandmother for her new house. I personally would recommend this product to anyone who likes an easy and dust free clean

    My Dyson died after just a few years a d I didnt want to spend a fortune again for a product that didnt last. I did my research and decided on a Shark. It's pretty unattractive, but it works well and has great features.

    Doesn't quite have the Dyson sucking power but is easier to push. Also, the led lights are a big plus.

    All of the reviews and TV commercials are correct - the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away is a fabulous cleaner. The cons are: it is heavier than I thought it was going to be, and the hose is very tight and hard to manipulate. I have read that with time the hose issue will get better. If you have back pain issues I would not recommend this model.

    Great vacuum at a terrific price. Very mobile and easy to switch from upright to wand. Picks up dog hair like crazy. Also get fine dust that you don't see. No expensive bags to use. Easy to empty the container. Has a cord but that doesn't make a difference to me.
