[Gaabor 2-in-1 Vacuum Cleaner](https://s.shopee.ph/5KyonZmvcB) una naming vacuum cleaner before switching to Black & Decker. Okay naman siya, hindi maingay and enough suction power. Nagpalit lang talaga kami dahil need namin ng mas malakas and gagamitin din kasi sa sasakyan and need namin ng for wet & dry. https://preview.redd.it/bazjpl054owe1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e5237f6be3ece00308499132b3f7d46cda409b1

I have a Shark with the Lift-Away function

Some version of the Shark Lift-Away is typically offered on BF by Walmart for about $99, probably closer to $120 or more now with inflation.  If they are showing out of stock at your local Walmarts, what you want to do is change your zipcode to more rural areas close by you in the app or online. Apparently they have a set number of the BF-priced model at each store. My last shark I had to drive 20 minutes out of the city for, but it was totally worth it to save $70. Also check Target and Costco or Sam's if you have memberships there. I know for a fact I've seen Costco advertising them, too. Oh yeah, to answer your question - from my experience, with vacuums they don't tend to mark them down any further, the danger here is them selling out.

I am having the same issue. I bought a shark lift away which I loved for 2 months then the latch broke so front brush roll won't stay in. Since then I've bought 3 other vacuums and none of them pich up dust or dog hair. I need an affordable vacuum that will work on hard floors that will suck up pet hair and dust. In the past I had a Tineco vacuum mop and I agree with the comment on the smell and mine didn't pick up anything very well. I have long haired dogs and I need something that works. Plus I'm on a fixed income so I can't pay $700 for a vacuum. I'm at a loss

We have a shark with lift away, excellent for stairs. Had it 7 years now, pretty shit at picking up now and thinking of replacement. Goes well from hardwood to carpet etc,

Shark Lift Away, Navigator or professional series - all the way. If you’re looking for a lightweight, versatile and powerhouse suction. I have pets, it does the job. I’ve used Dyson, Hoover, Bissell and never looked back, got rid of the clunkers

Agreed. We’ve had our shark lift away for just over 3 years and I’ve been very happy with it. No noticeable change in performance, great suction, and easy maintenance.

Any of the Shark lift away vacuums 💯

My shark lift away is still kickin after 4 years but it’s happened 3 times where it just stops working and I had to open up the screws and remove some random clog, my buddies Dyson never had that issue although his battery is trash compared to mine

Yea.... I remember being excited by the Shark lift away... bought several over the years..... didn't understand what a dust-free, hair-free home was until we got a Sebo with bag. Now we vacuum 1/3 a much with far better results. Bagless vacs just aren't good.

I genuinely like my Shark Lift-Away. It is a well-thought out design, especially compared to the last inexpensive vacuum cleaner I had (I forget what kind, but there were several with an amazing array of design flaws in the same price tier. I believe it was a Dirt Devil Pets type). Anyway, on the Lift-Away, the hoses and cord are long enough (my old cleaner had such a short, inflexible hose that I had to hold the vacuum with one hand in order to reach, well, anything). The attachments fit well and do not have to be held in place to keep them from falling off. And importantly, it does not have an incredibly stupid round ball design bracket for the belt, which on my most hated vacuum seemed to be specifically designed for the belt to fall off ( have never seen it on any other vacuum cleaner and I can't imagine, except for nefarious reasons, any logic to redesigning this part of the machine), and for the user to have to remove an annoyingly large number of screws to replace it. This happened to me dozens of times in the short period I owned that monstrosity) Sorry, I guess I got triggered and went off on a rant about the vacuum not to get.

Shark lift-aways are super powerful/affordable/flexible, and awesome if you don’t mind a little extra vacuum cleaning (it’s bagless).

What kind of vacuum did you buy? I'm thinking of going with a "bag' vacuum. I have a shark lift away now. It works great but just old. I also can't stand emptying the cup anymore as I break out every time and get eye infections (sometimes).

Shark lift off None of the robots will effectively take care of a lot of pet hair. Same with the cordless stuff. I tried a few different models… Loving the shark lift away though.

https://youtube.com/@vacuumwars?si=iz5JvEJ8nIx76sF- Check out this channel I do have the shark lift away and very, very happy with it. It’s cleans well, and I can easily change and clean the filters. It works a lot better than the Dyson v8 I had previously but it’s also a little heavier. Dyson couldn’t handle the pet hair. Shark has never had an issue. There may be better ones out, I am not familiar with Miele and Sebo as so many here recommend but in terms of price etc I think Shark is a great thing. I got ours at Costco so I could return if I am not happy. I also got their carpet cleaner and it’s great as well (that thing that basically steams the carpet and sucks the water out of it after.)

I am on my third shark rocket, it's almost 3 years old and still running fine. For budget, its one of the best. Get it around the holidays and you might see it for as low as $100. With an extension cord you can easily do 1500 sqft in one shot, only stopping to empty the canister once or twice on a decently maintained home. Gets under most beds, which is always a plus.  I have tried a shark lift away and it broke within a year. And that was with mostly personal use because I decided it was too heavy after awhile. On FB I see a lot of people recommend backpack vacuums. The most popular brand is bagged and you can take it apart and replace any piece if something breaks. The downside is that even used they run about $200+. Definitely something I want to eventually get because most homes near me have stairs.

I've also gotten similar vibes looking here after my Shark Lift-Away broke after 7 years. It was great for my mix of 50% hard surface 50% stairs. Many of the suggestions here seem like overkill / some brand shaming. It's also odd to me that most of the brands suggested still use bags, which I can't imagine going back to from a cost and waste standpoint. For some though, I get it may be the best way to trap irritants for people with bad allergies etc. I don't know, I still want an upright like the Shark lift-away to get decent cleaning, go from carpet to hard, bagless with a drive belt I can repair after 5-7 years. But I think this sub has corrupted me. Suddenly, I'm thinking about Miel Boost CX1. I need to go for a long walk with your rational post in mind, reset on this purchase consideration lol.

I've settled on two, the Tineco Pure One Station 5 or Shark lift away successor corded. Still haven't pulled the trigger lol. Also found the YouTube reviews to be pretty helpful with their tests. Good luck to us both. 

I love my Shark. The lift away is a game changer for me when I’m doing the stairs. Unpopular opinion but I can’t stand the face on the Henry. Shifty little creep.

This is so funny, I’ve had the shark lift away for 6 years and liked it. I didn’t realize that was apparently the consensus for it! Ive thought about upgrading since I used it to vacuum some hot cinders from a grill (not an intelligent choice) and now it always smells like fire… maybe I just replace it after seeing this chart

My Shark Lift-Away has bit the dust (pun intended), and I desperately need a new vacuum. In our home, we have a mix of carpet and hard flooring, fabric furniture, two cats, one allergy-prone small dog, and two heavily allergy-prone hairy humans (allergic to pollen, dust mites, mold, etc.). No rugs yet, but I want them someday and I love plush ones! I'm willing to spend no more than $650 using my solutions fund. What would you recommend? What do you like? Thanks, all, for your help and expertise!

Certain models will break down to the pole foot and hose, which is great for under furniture, others don't. It's the lift away part of shark that works for stairs.

I have 2 lift aways and a stick vac (not cordless). I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. Filled the canister 3 times vacuuming just the first floor. I had a Dyson and didn’t realize how bad they actually are until I bought my first Shark.
