Shark APEX DuoClean with Self-Cleaning Brushroll Corded Stick Vacuum (ZS362)

This vacuum is absolutely amazing, especially for the price! Got this to tackle hardwood and carpet in a house with one very messy person who hates cleaning and one equally messy, very hairy cat and its handled everything we've thrown at it with ease, from hair and crumbs to dirt and cat litter.Pros-- Lightweight, super convenient, incredibly easy to use and convert from handheld to stick and back, great suction for a stick vacuum. Does the job on all floor types with no problem and it's super maneuverable for everything from getting under couches and through chair legs to over high thresholds on the floor. Comes with every attachment you can want and some pretty brilliant ones you wouldn't even think to ask for. The cup is super easy to empty and get back to cleaning again quickly. Best part is the zero wrap brushroll GENUINELY WORKS, with my hair length I'd be giving a normal vacuum a haircut every other use but with this there's literally never hair wrapped around it.Semi-cons-- dust cup could be a bit bigger, fills up pretty quickly but it is a stick vac and it's honestly a testament to how much this little vacuum picks up. The motor is at the top of this vacuum so if you're going to vacuum the entire house your wrist might get tired from maneuvering it but its way better than moving around a full sized one would be. Its also top-heavy when together so it doesn't stay standing but its very easy to detach the motor and hang it at the bottom of the stick for a second while you let go of it. Not cordless but there's no way you'd get this suction out of a cordless vac and you don't have to worry about the battery running out.

I bought this vacuum for myself on Cyber Monday and got $50 off the regular price so already I was pleased. Then, it arrived 3 days later (which also never happens) so my satisfaction grew more. I took it out of the box. It came in 4 pieces which snapped together very easily. I plugged it in and used it for the first time. I was amazed. It's very maneuverable, goes around corners and under beds easily. This vacuum has a lot of suction power. I have four cats that why I went with the Zero-M No Hair Wrap model. It sucks up kitty litter granules out of the carpet like nobody's business. I should mention right now that the compartment that holds the dirt and debris is not very large and you may find yourself having to empty it after vacuuming each room depending on how often you vacuum (or don't). The roller brush is designed specifically for pet fur and it sucked up my cats' hair with no problem and did not get tangled in the brush roller. I will mention right now, that if you do have pets and you notice that the vacuum stops sucking, you could have a clogged wand. This actually happened to me. I disconnected the wand, which is the straight plastic tube that runs from the vacuum roller part to the dirt collector. I saw that it was clogged. I had to get a wire hanger, straightened it, and then preceded to unclog the wand. You should be able to look thru the wand. If you don't, it's clogged. Once unclogged, it worked like new. I also want to say that it worked great after Christmas when I took the Christmas tree down (real spruce tree) and vacuumed up all the needles. I'm just so pleased with this Shark. I hope it lasts forever.

This is an excellent, lightweight vacuum. I prefer corded vacuums as I think they have more power and they don't need charging.It has plenty of maneuverability, great suction, long cord, and I'd nice and lightweight. Very easy to vacuum with. Easy to put together and take apart (for example, to use just the handheld part or empty the canister.The reason I give it 4 stars is that I also have a Shark Rocket vacuum, and that's the standard by which I judge all vacuums. It's unbeatable for sucking up dirt and cat hair, and I love the attachments, especially the stair brush, which is easier to use than this one.I was impressed with this vacuum. But just to check, I used the Rocket vacuum after using this one in my bedroom. Yup, it picked up stuff this one didn't And, it left better brush marks (which I guess means it brushes more deeply?).Honestly, you can't go wrong with either one of these. This looked like a good model. On sale it was cheaper than buying a new Rocket, so I got it. Will be making my life easier! I'll have a vacuum for each floor.
