"It survived a triple coated dog through many blowout seasons."
"But most sharks or some have anti hair wrap technology on their brush rolls. That's already worth every penny if you've got cats."
"I bought a shark lift away which I loved for 2 months ... Since then I've bought 3 other vacuums and none of them pich up dust or dog hair."

"There is so much weight on the bottom hinge that it eventually gives way. ... Don't expect longevity. ... It was broken by 2023. ... Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Shark Lift Away models. They are absolutely terrible in longevity, being built with cheap plastic parts at the bottom hinges, which will break in a few years. ... It is very poorly designed in that section. ... Longevity is awful. ... The problem is the weight of the canister/motor on the bottom hinge in the lift-away and other similar designs. You'd expect they would have used metal hinges to take some 15 lbs of equipment weight on it. But when it finally broke, I was shocked to see that it was all plastic. The floor and carpet attachment are now useless."
"I have the Apex, which was replaced 3 times by Shark due to the motor burning out."
"I used it fairly gently for maybe a year or so then it bricked itself. ... It's just dead. ... Seems like poorly built garbage."

"you can’t attach the beater head to the wand portion, which limits how far you can reach under furniture."
