Shark - APEX DuoClean with Self-Cleaning Brushroll Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum - Sage

I really LOVE this vacuum for many reasons and I have some dislikes about it as well. Pros: the lift away allows you to get under beds and dressers that are high enough off the ground. The 2 different wands are great for multipurpose uses. The cord on this one is longer then the others reaching farther. The new self cleaning rolling brush is 100 times better then the last one with a lot of bristles, saves me time cleaning out the rolling brush bar. The bagless canister is always a bonus as well. The washable filter is great too! Comes with a stair attachment and a crevice tool. Cons: The wand, when you use it against trim and crevice tools- leaves marks on trim. So I have to be very careful when doing this which I never had concern with with my other Shark vacuum of same APEX. Another con is that I wish it came with replacement filters of both the inside and the bottom. I clean residential homes and it holds up great to my use, you have to really maintain this vacuum to get a long life out of it. But this is my favorite vacuum!!!

Best vacuum I’ve owned at a fair price. Done buying Dyson. Highly recommend the vacuum over Dyson.

The vacuum works great. It seems well made. I just didn't realize how heavy it would be. I need to try it without the canister attached. There's an attachment to put the canister on a base so you don't carry it around, but it's $50 extra. If this unit came with that, and I could use it that way (being lighter and easier to maneuver), I'd be more likely to keep it. I'll be looking for something more lightweight and return it. Maybe I've been spoiled by small, cordless vacs. But, those have other problems.

very good machine but the garbage dispenser broke and today I have to hold it with a tape a

Works well. Easy to use. Very efficient. Wish the vacuum head was a bit shorter to fit under sofas and such. Detachable hose works well, but needs to be broken in a bit otherwise it tends to spring back and drag the whole unit back on to itself. Had to buy a more robust vacuum due to pet hair defeating the previous vacuum. The Apex tackles all surfaces and picks up everything with ease.

I loved this vacuum so much howevet after a year something broke on it and best buy didnt have the same vacuum to replace it. I could dust with this vacume. Clean my ceiling fan. It worked well with my 4 dogs and 3 cats. My house was very clean.

When it gets clogged or something the lights flash to let you know it’s not working. Long cord let’s me plug in one spot and hit everything. Don’t have to constantly remove wrapped up hair.

I've actually owned 3 of this model. My mom was visiting and loved it so mucho I gave her mine, and I gave my 2nd away to a friend who liked it and was in need of a vacuum. My mom has had hers for nearly 3 years, my friend for 1, and they have had zero issues. I recently bought this model on sale, which was a steal. Great suction, easily maneuvers around or under furniture, and the lift away technology which turns the upright into a hand held cannister is great for stairs and under the bed. Would never own another brand at this point.
