As a home cleaner [this shark vacuum](https://www.sharkninja.com/shark-detectpro-lift-away-adv-upright-vacuum/LA802.html?utm_source=GOOGLE&utm_medium=cpla&utm_campaign=Shark_DTC_CordedStick_Upright_Shopping_Brand_Google&utm_adgroup=Upright&utm_content=corded-stick&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20643268788&gbraid=0AAAAADofSimcsYs4Z7w58B9g6kN8kwOWg&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvITOuaW0kAMV_jQIBR24URWgEAQYBiABEgLqk_D_BwE) has been my all time favorite to use- especially for home with pets!
I have a mix of carpet and hardwood in my home and need a vacuum that handles both without constantly switching settings. I want something that cleans well but is also easy to move around. does anyone have tips on what features really make a difference for multi-surface cleaning?
**UPDATE HERE:** Went with [**Shark Detect Pro**](https://reddit-links.com/SharkDetectProSpeedLiftAway) and it’s been working great across both carpet and hardwood. It’s easy to maneuver and I haven’t had to keep adjusting settings all the time.
I have a Shark corded powerdetect and it is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever had. I have 3 inside cats and it lifts all their fur out of my new carpet and makes it look great. It even picks up the hay from my rabbit room, my previous electrolux wouldn't do that.
Buy this shark. I have one and it is magic. Removes all of the cat fur from my carpets in one vacuum.

We just got this from Amazon about two months ago. It seems to only work well on low profile carpet. I took a video of it going over and over again on a small pile of pine needles on a tile floor and it picked up nothing. I had just cleaned it all out, as well. Removed hair, cleaned the brush, emptied everything. The other problem I had was the hose keeps getting clogged and its a pain to unclog it. We do have two labs, so there's a lot of hair - but thats why we bought this one! I hate it.
This is why I buy one with a long warranty. No product, even the most overengineered or “time-tested” vacuums, will last under every condition.
I look for at least five years. A Shark Detect Pro vacuum broke with an electronics error, we called, they did a quick test over video call, and they sent us the upgraded model for free and it arrived the same week. The new one has worked well since. They even let us keep the old one (which is nice for double the accessories, haha).
The mixed reviews may be because of how differently people use vacuums; their carpets (or floors), what debris / dirt, ergonomics, cleaning, power, speed, etc. But there certainly are “tiers”, but within one tier, yeah, there’s a lot of trade offs between models.
What’s easiest for me: pick 1-3 features you really will regret if your vacuum can’t nail them and then let the rest be easy enough to work around.
You can usually buy and return if it misses your expectations.
