Shark AZ2002 Vertex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Large Dust Cup, Pet Crevice Tool, Dusting Brush & Power Brush, Silver/Rose Gold

This is my second Shark Vertex, model az2002. The first one lasted 5 years. The plastic swivel component that attached to the floor vacuum literally broke in pieces, a small piece first, then a large piece, then all of it. It would still vacuum, but not stand up, nor could you maneuver it. Tried repairing, gave up. I replaced it with a Shark Navigator lift away. I had previously owned one of those. After using the Navigator for 7 or 8 months, I decided to go back to the Shark Vertex. My reasons were, the Vertex is self cleaning. I have a great Pyrenees and a shepherd Pyrenees mix, a 2 small dogs. I vacuum every other day. It takes forever when you have to stop and clean the brush roll out. I also have a shag area rug, and when using the Navigator, even with adjusting the suction, it was more of a work out and struggle. I started looking at the Vertex model and caught it on sale on Amazon, I won't say what I paid, but it's a lot cheaper than what the price is now. Having said all this, the Vertex is worth it. The suction surpasses the Navigator, and it even dusts your floors. Long dog hair, no problem, vacuuming the car, got it. I dont find it to be heavy, or cumbersome. The Navigator is a good vacuum, but for me the Vertex is worth it, even if I only get another 5 years out of it.

La mejor aspiradora que he tenido. Es súper potente, de verdad que no encontraras nada igual en ninguna otra aspiradora vertical. Tengo además dos roombas para el trabajo diario. Pero la Shark Vertex se lleva todos los honores en los trabajos más difíciles, desde aspirar brillantina y arena hasta cereal y croquetas de perro. Y aunque es un poco pesada nada se le compara a la hora de succionar todo a su paso. 100% recomendada.

I have owned this vacuum now for over three years. I live with two Labs that shed contently and need to vacuum daily. I have owned at least seven different vacs over the past 40 years always living with multiple dogs. This vac has outperformed all the vacuums that I have used. It is so well engineered and thoughtfully put together. The suction is incredible the rollers never get bunged up or clogged with hair. The ease of removing the main body from the business end of the vac allows for easy access to under furniture or use on stairs, not to mention the extra reach from the power plug that is obtained at least 5more feet. Clean out is a breeze with the trap door on the bin and the additional top door opening. It is such a good vacuum that I purchased one as a bonus for my G.M. when she mentioned she was looking for a vacuum. Although the cost is more than a lot of vacs but not as munch as the cordless hyped alternatives under the "D****" brand. Buy this vac you will not regret it.

Muy buena compra ! Al principio dude de logrará aspirar los pelos de mi mascota por ser de batería, pero resultó ser potente y la batería dura bastante ! Excelente compra !

Wow what a great vacuum. Has a strong suction, does a wonderful job picking up pet hair from my uncarpeted floors. Very easy to maintain. It is a bit heavy for me to maneuver as I am 80 plus years old. However, I highly recommend it to everyone.
