Super strong vacuum, if you can stand corded

I've been using cordless vacuums for a few years and they come with their own set of problems. Basically, if you prefer corded, or are willing to sacrifice that for a super strong vacuum, you’ll be thrilled with this. The suction power here is miles ahead of other corded vacuums and especially cordless ones.

I have mostly hardwood floors, with some door mats that are ‘carpeted’ and I found this did a fantastic job at picking up everything from cat hair, to stray wooden litter, to accidentally dropped craft supplies and food. It will suck up everything, so make sure you lift toys and whatnot before using it!

It does have some downsides, which I’ll discuss, but as well as offering stupendous suction power, the added Pet power brush is amazing at cleaning upholstery. My tufted velvet sofa is notorious for being difficult to clean and so far the best option I’ve found is a roller. The Self-Cleaning pet power brush attachment included is fantastic and even gets the stuff trapped in the ‘tufts’.

Which leads me to one of the negatives. The lightness of the vacuum is actually a double-edged sword. It’s obviously heavier than a cordless handheld vacuum, but considering the monstrous size of this vacuum, it’s actually not that heavy. Presumably this is a result of their newer, lighter model. It’s a bit of a trade off though, because it being so light means when you’re using the ‘wands’ the vacuum easily tips over. This is compounded by the hose not being stretchy or long enough.

I was happy with the cord length, which is really long. While I still prefer cordless overall, you need to pay about double this amount for a decent cordless vacuum.

The versatility of this vacuum is a big plus, I can see it being great for somebody like a cleaner. It’s lightness despite the size and the ability to ‘lift-off’ the top to reach higher areas, is really great. The wand also retains a lot of power as a result, so my bathroom fan has never been more dust-free!

I’m not the biggest fan of the design choice, which I feel is old-fashioned and clunky looking, but I really can’t complain about the function of the Shark Rotator Lift-Away, which prioritises function and strength of suction over everything else, making it a well-rounded, strong vacuum for those who want a serious clean!

One of the best vacuum cleaners I've ever used

This vacuum cleaner is amazing it has very easy setup every all parts just click together same as lifting it away for a portable vacuum cleaner it all just clicks together or apart. Great suction feature easy to clean has a self-cleaning roll brush which is awesome and also has lights on the front of the vacuum.
