DuoClean Slim Upright Vacuum

I have own three sharks. I think the first was the NV210, it was a tank. Lasted us ten years but I kept it and filters clean, and I abused it by cleaning up pea stone, Dry wall dust, and banging into wood trim. Good cheap vacuum. The second was the rechargeable stick. Not great. Poor suction, terrible battery, very difficult to clean. Only lasted three years, including one battery swap. Would not buy again. The third is our current plug-in vacuum. Shark lift away with the power odor eliminator pod. It’s decent, but the brushhead is weird, it takes its time to wind up to full speed. It’s a different roller than a typical beater brush and apparently doesn’t get hair stuck around it. Good suction for the price, I was very wary of dropping a grand for a vacuum after I had such good years with our previous shark. haven’t needed to work on it much yet and I have a wet/dry vacuum now for house projects. I spent a lot of time in this sub last November prior to decide on the best vacuum. My wife was adamant she wanted a standup, she wanted battery powered (to replace the shark mentioned above) but I was able to convince her to relax on this requirement. And she wanted bagless, this couldn’t sway her. After a time of tolerating the shark rechargeable I had enough and tossed it. This past week I bought a Dyson v15 refurbished on Amazon, it was brand new and works great so far although it my wife mentioned it doesn’t handle pea stone well dragged in by two doodles from our garden. She’s beyond happy so I’m happy. However now I want a better plug-in vacuum. She’s a quick mess cleaner, I’m a deep cleaner, and the new shark is not a vacuum I’d buy again. I probably would buy a Miele C1.

I got a Dyson Light Ball around a decade ago. Idk exactly when, can’t remember but it’s whenever the Light Ball first came out. I clean the filters monthly and it still works like a dream. I also have a Shark Duo something or other, it’s the Shark with the soft brush roll in addition to the regular brush roll. If I go over my carpet with the Shark and then immediately follow it with the Dyson, the Dyson picks up more in the second pass than the Shark did in the first So I just use my Shark for my hard floors and the Dyson for my carpet, since the Shark is better for hard floors due to the soft brush roll I think a **corded** Dyson is very well worth it

For my hard floors, I use a shark duoclean. It has a regular brush roll, but in front of that it has a soft, kinda fuzzy brush roll. It picks up crumbs, dirt, and dust like a champ Unfortunately, it’s not under $200 new but you could likely find a lightly used one for that cost

we got our shark duo in 2017 and has never had an issue its our sole vacuum for 2 story home, if you've trashed 6 I think it's probably you breaking them somehow? I keep wanting a nicer vacuum but this one won't die.

I use clients' vacs but I really want to get my own Shark Duo Clean corded which is lightweight and also folds in half for compact storage. I've used a client's and really liked it. I agree about Henry's, I hate them for weight and they're treacherous balancing on stairs.

I had a corded Shark with the duo clean and tbh it was amazing at first. I used it for almost 6 years. I ran a roomba daily and would use my shark once a week. I have 3 cats, so lots of fur. Eventually, I moved in with my boyfriend, and every time I would vacuum he would start sneezing. The filter for the shark was just not great. I've upgraded to a Miele C3 with bags, and the air quality is just AMAZING. My boyfriend has even commented on the fact that he no longer sneezes when vacuuming. The amount of dirt the Miele finds is also significantly more than the shark, but I dont want to compare as the shark was almost 6 years old vs a brand new Miele.

I own the shark duoclean, and I fucking love the technology, especially the floor detect sense for hardwood floors. This sub is going to downvote me to oblivion for praising it. But If you can get one at Costco you should be good.

I went thru this struggle about 5ish years ago... I was sick of my hair getting tangled and getting stuck, having to take it apart, etc. I went down a rabbit hole of researching and ended up with a Shark... I'm not sure of the exact model, I can definitely get it for you. But I know it comes with the duoclean brushes and special compartment for the long hair to go into. I was skeptical at first but it works 100% of the time!! I have never, ever had to clean hair from the brushes. I don't know how it works but it does. I got it at Kohls to use the Kohls cash. Pros- no more tangled brushes or wheels, very powerful and have no complaints about suction, easy to lift off to get under furniture... Cons- it's loud and heavy, I hate using it because of that, there's no easy wrap cord feature that some vacuums have (you press a button and the cord automatically retracts), accessories fall off if you just look at them wrong, "pet brush" accessory is meh..
