Rotator Pet Lift-Away ADV

I recently got the Shark LA502 on Amazon for $215 and it was the best decision I ever made. Truly! It’s so powerful and sucks up everything but is so much lighter than a traditional al upright. And way more powerful than a cordless stick vacuum. It’s the perfect middle ground in my opinion. It has a lot of the features of the Shark Stratos but without the weight and price tag

My new shark LA502 has been incredible on dog and pet hair. I have a Boston Terrier that sheds tiny little dog hairs while I shed long black ones and I’m going through it with my hair falling out like crazy (menopause anyone?!). My shark does such a fantastic job and I’m sad I never bought one sooner. It handles both hardwood and carpet like a champ without having to switch out accessories, and I don’t feel like it’s a huge heavy upright, especially with the lift away function. It also has specially designed rollers so your hair doesn’t just get trapped in the rollers like some of the other models where you have to cut out the trapped long hair. I really do love this machine.

I finally replaced my 10 year old shark rotator lift away last year- one of my kids was moving out and I figured rather than buy them a new one I would get myself a new one and pass that one on. I replaced it with a shark navigator the day before they moved and they were on their happy way with my well loved vacuum. I unboxed the navigator liftaway and halfway through the first room I hated it. It isn't heavy but you really have to push to get it to go the direction you want it to. And forget about trying to manuever it around a table leg. It cleans well so I forced myself to keep using it hoping it just needing to be worn in a bit. It didn't get better. Thankfully I have several kids close in age so I had an excuse to pawn this one off and get a different one this winter. I replaced it with the shark rotator pet lift away that I got from sams club. I am in love again. It is so easy to use on carpet and hard floors, turns smoothly, doesn't get hair tangled on the roller and is so light I can easily carry it between floors. It does have a narrower cleaning head than some but that makes it a bit easier to get under chairs and around furniture legs in my opinion. Bottom line- go for the rotator not the navigator :)

I have had three labs at a time over the last 18 years, so LOTS of lab hair as you can imagine, and I’ve tried MANY different vacuums from cheap to Dyson. I swear by the Shark Rotator Pet Upright and Shark Stratos Upright. Love them both. Got them on Amazon. The amount of hair they pick up is phenomenal. Constantly ask my babies how they aren’t bald. Lol The lift away on the Stratos has also been amazing because it helps me get to hard to reach places.

We had a $500 Dyson and it was good not great and lasted about 7 years. We have the $250 shark rotator pet kills the Dyson and half the price. Can't recommend it enough.

I have a shark rotator pet vacuum with a cord that I love! I have a very hairy lab mix with very thick fur. It does a great job of getting up all the dust and dog hair. I got it from Walmart for $250

I have an older Shark Rotator Pet upright corded vacuum and love it. If it broke today, I would replace it tomorrrow. I don't trust cordless models at all - none of them are still going to be good as new 10 years from now. I wouldn't spend extra for a Dyson knowing how well mine has worked. I have always had at least 2 cats and it's a workhorse. I would probably pay extra for the ones that claim (human) hair doesn't get caught in the brush (as someone with medium to long hair) who really hates to clean the brush.

I hope i dont get crucified here but I purchased a Shark ADV Lift away vacuum from Costco for $320. The ADV version is apparently better. I have super super plush carpets and any vacuum I tried always struggled. I took extra carpet to try out miele and even that one got kind of stuck on the carpet. The Shark glides on it even on max suction. I had to empty the canister like 6 or 7 times in a 2400sqft house where I've lived for only a year. Weekly vacuums. Stairs. All of it. It felt gross knowing how bad my carpets were with my last vacuum. The stairs are carpeted and work very well with the power pet attachment I can't speak for longevity. I'll update you in 5 years My goal is a Sebo 4 which is $1300 new. Used is about 1/4 - 1/3 of that price but the warranty makes up for the cost difference
