Shark ZU782 Rotator Lift-Away DuoClean Pro Upright Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brushroll, DuoClean, HEPA Filter, Headlights, Swivel Steering, Upholstery Tool, Pet Power Brush & Crevice Tool, Sage Green

I like this product and it does what it says it will. The problem I have been having is it clogs up all the time. Trying to unclog the hose took 45 mins. I use it for work and it gets used often so it gets used more than a home one would. The head also needs to be cleaned pretty often. The positives about it is that the suction is great, the lift away feature is nice for stairs, and it comes apart to clean.

Update: 4/28/22 It is a great vacuum, but the hinge on the lid on the dust canister broke off about 6 months ago. I can still use it, but it is a pain when I have to empty the canister. I frequently dump the canister on my clean floor. I had the Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away NV681 & I loved it!! It died (I am hard on vacuums) & I replaced it with ZU782. This one is a bit heavier (So maybe it is sturdier & will last longer?) & doesnt drive quite as easily as the NV681. The ZU782 is wonderful. It gets close to the baseboards. It has great suction. I love being able to use the hose short or longer & having the tools easily available. I love that the headlight stays on when I park it to use the hose so that I can see in the corners or under the edges of the cabinets. I didnt like that about the NV681. The light was only on when you were vacuuming with the handle pulled back. Also, has a nice long cord.

I was searching for a vacuum that would be great for my dogs hair. I have an Australian Sheppard and mostly all thick carpet and they have broken every vacuum I’ve had. I had a Dyson multi floor (I had hard wood flooring when I got it) and it did well on the hard flooring but once we moved it broke within a few months. So far this shark has been amazing. It’s easy to maneuver and it gets under things much easier than my Dyson. The shark does really well on my carpet and with my long dog hair. I do still have to clean off the roll sometimes but not near as much. The shark also does great on our tile and the throw rug we have. It’s actually so great on our rug I could have cried with joy. It doesn’t suck it up into the roller, and it doesn’t suck so hard I can’t move the vacuum. Amazing. Over all I’m so happy with it and definitely recommend it to anyone no matter the flooring or hair.

Purchased this to replace our 8 year old Shark Navigator lift away. This thing died from the board overheating in 5 months. Tried calling Shark, the automated system didnt even offer an option for vacuums. Took it to the local repair and was boxes of Shark vacuums that had done the same thing. They also told us that Shark doesnt stand behind their product & it takes forever to get parts. Our old Shark was bullet proof. This one is not. Shark customer service doesnt exist. We use our vacuum 2-3 times weekly on a 2700 sq ft house. A $300 vacuum cleaner should last longer than 5 months. Dont buy.

It does the job but is very heavy and difficult to maneuver. You really cannot get under tables, beds ect. The accessories that come with it are just okay. I was looking for a vacuum that I could use to vacuum carpeted stairs. I figured since you could detach the base, this would be helpful, but the accessories that it comes with are not very good.

This is one of those vacuums that you dont use everyday, maybe once a week. Well, unless you want some ripped forearms and a torn rotator cuff because this is one heavy machine. Not so heavy that you cant bring it up and down stairs but youll be breaking a sweat if you have a medium to large size house, and forget about summer time. But with that weight comes some serious suction power. It picks up a lot of dirt even with just one stroke across each section of the carpet. The dustbin is also huge so no need to empty it in between rooms. It has a 30 foot cord that is very handy, maybe a bit unwieldy. It came with 3 attachments - an edge sucker, upholstery thing, and a wind-powered brush - all work reasonably well. The entire system of the lift-away is nifty and fairly straightforward once you understand how it works. Overall, its an amazing machine perfect for keeping the house as clean as it can get. I wish it were even a couple pounds lighter to make the maneuverability better but its not a deal breaker. Compared to Dyson, which I also own, it has great power to cost ratio making it an easy recommendation for those who are clean freaks but not wealthy.

Easy to use. Great suction. Change from carpet to wood floor button. Easy to clean roller brush, tank, filter.

THIS IS THE BEST PURCHASE I MADE IN 2020! The power on this baby is amazing! And the Lift-Away feature is my absolute favorite! This has made my life so much easier! Not only is it faster/easier to vacuum my stairs, and couches, but the Shark picks up soooooo much more dirt and hair than any vacuum Ive owned! I only have 2 complaints about this vacuum. (Theyre not so important to me, but they may be deciding factors for others) 1. Its HEAVY! This bad boy packs some weight. Although it moves easily and smoothly, holding it up can be a challenge. To add to this its on the tall side. So a short 52 lady like myself has to hold it lower, where Im supporting more of its weight. 2. The uncloggable brush roll is fake news. I have a long haired dog, a long haired cat, and a long haired self. I have to clean out the brush roll every 4th use or so. Ill admit, I also dont vacuum as often as Im supposed to.. HOWEVER! The brush roll is SO EASY to get to and SO EASY to clean! I highly recommend this vacuum to everyone!

Wow, not sure what I was waiting for to buy a new vacuum. This is great, had a shark lift away, but this one ready does the job. A few things I need to get use to.... The stupid cord is on the opposite side, now right side, so use to the left side, the power button is on the lift away area.... So not use to that, the hose release was always on the outside of the vacuum, but now is on the backside of the vacuum, and the hardwood floor/carpet setting is now on the base of the lift away. Still love it, just so use to my old one that it keeps throwing me off. See pictures. Hope it helps.

Pros: Not too heavy (see detailed review below) Canister separates to make an even lighter unit Attachments hold firm to caddy Swivel head allows for quick turns Has lighted brush switch so you know when the brushes are engaged for carpet Relatively quiet. (as loud as a 1500 watt hair dryer) Cons: NO DUSTING BRUSH (I knocked off 2 stars for this) Floor head only 12” wide Finicky release buttons hard to push Attachments not standard size Conclusion: I recommend it as long as you know its limitations. This unit replaces my Wind Tunnel self propelled vac which got too heavy and cumbersome to lug up the steps anymore. The stated weight is 17 lbs. which I confirmed. People should understand what 17 lbs. is before buying this or any vac. The lifting handle is located at the center of gravity so you can lift straight up without bending. When you separate the canister from the floor brush unit you shave off 6 lbs. making a compact package for vacuuming the stairs while moving the canister up one step at a time. I found the release for the hose handle and also the emptying latches stiff and difficult to push. If you have arthritis in your hands better go to the store and check one out in person. I can not believe this vacuum DOES NOT COME WITH A DUSTING BURSH nor is one available for this unit according to the Shark website. Half of my vacuuming is done with a dusting brush. The hose on this model seems to be a wider diameter than previous Sharks so existing attachments will not fit. Since it is not standard almost none of the ones on Amazon will fit. I finally found one that comes with an adapter that enables it and all other standard attachments to fit. With the adapter in place you can mount the brush on the back of the vac. Finally, there are a lot of plastic catches and latches on this unit and I hope they will stand the test of time. The 5 year warranty is only as good as Sharks customer service which based on a lot of these reviews is sketchy at best.
