"I had my first shark lift away for around 9 yrs."
"probably close to 10 years old ... I use it a couple times a week ... Other than new filters and keeping it clean I never had any issue with the Shark."

"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."

"I no longer use a bagless vacuum though. ... The good thing about going to a good quality bagged vacuum is not having to clean the filters ever month and not having to dump the canister after every use. ... So far (after 4 months of having the Oreck and Kenmore), I rather the Oreck for carpets and I rather their HEPA bags because you get literally no smell. The Kenmore I find will have a bit of a smell after sitting up between uses. However I suck up some downy crystals every so often, but they make special odor elimination tablets for bagged vacuums. So they are pretty much low maintenance compared to bagless."
"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."

"the main roller anti-tangle “flaps” are wearing down and replacement parts aren’t available"
"But the silicon flaps seem to be impregnated with fibers and have begun to wear very quickly too."

"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"
