"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."
"And I'm yet to have to dig out hair from any shark."

"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."

"suction does taper off pretty fast once the filters get plugged up. Which is a lot faster than you think."
"The particulate filter has needed replacement."
"and they don't filter dust particles nearly as well (I have to wear contacts to see and they are dirt magnets, so I tend to really notice that)"

"you can’t attach the beater head to the wand portion, which limits how far you can reach under furniture."
"But they don't fit under furniture with their square design"
