We have a dog that doesn't shed much but good enough to be noticed. This cleaner seem to be doing a great job with removing dog hair without spinning the hair around those spindles and wheels. It is quiet and effective. I find the unit a bit heavier and a bit cumbersome when emptying the canister and stuff. Overall, I am happy.

This vacuum is the best. I love how it goes from hard floors to carpet in an instant woth flup of a switch. The suction power is fantastic. None like ive ever owned before.

Awesome vacuum. With its varied suction modes it can easily handle the job from shag to hardwood floors. It has amazing suction.
The removable canister makes vacuuming under furniture and on stairs very easy.

We have had it for one month roughly. We have 5 kids (4 being girls) and 2 beagles. This is our 3rd shark. I’m going to start with cons because there’s really only one. Still no retractable chord!! The suction is great. The handling is great. You still get a small amount of hair that will get caught. Not really a big deal because the plastic cover on the front pops off and easy to clean off. Which I still after a month have not had to do. I’m waiting to see if it cleans itself. A cool feature is there’s a light that comes on on the wand when you disconnect it from the canister. Being able to select between hard floor short pile and long pile carpet from the handle is nice. I am very happy with it so far!!!

Did my research and found this one to clean very well and the best part it self cleans the hair on the roller . A few drawbacks it doesn't swivel as easy and it's a little heavy, but cleans very well and when on "thicker carpet mode" it pulls itself. The clean out weights the heavy and swivel for me.

I used to buy a different brand for a long time, but lately, that brand wasn’t as good as it was before and switched to this brand. I find it easier to operate, longer cord, convenient when it comes to stairs. I give it a 4/5 due to I have pets and it doesn’t clean my rug as my former brand didn. But overall. It works good.

I love my Shark! It is easy to use on carpets or hardwood floors. It has a special brush on it that does not allow hair get wrapped around it. My Shark is bagless and easy to clean! This vacuum is very powerful!

It is heavy and awkward. Does poorly on hard floors and rugs with the brush. The suction is outstanding and when used without the lift away brush is off the charts good. I think the design could be better for use on rugs as i have to go slower but it is still a keeper.

I've had it for a couple of days now and have used all of the functions twice. Strong suction, no spillage. My only critiques are that it's heavy to lug around, and the attachment systems are a bit stiff.

The vacuum had a strong suction that picks up lots of dirt and hair off all kinds of floor surfaces. It is really nice that the vacuum cleans the hair from the roller. It is a little heavy and I thought that separating the main part from the suction but would make vacuuming the stairs easier then it did.

I was a little hesitant to buy a Shark. I'm glad I read the positive reviews, they were right. This vacuum cleaner is a beast when it comes to suction and yet easy to clean and flexible in its various usages. It's pricey, but worth it!

I swear I don’t know how my dogs have any fur with how much hair this vacuum sucks up! It is amazing. I have a dyson stick also but this shark is much more thorough and easier to use. Definitely am happy with my purchase!

Best Vacuum I Ever Bought

We have a big dog, and I bought this vacuum because of the hair removing feature which works great. Also blows away my Dyson upright in every respect. Quieter, more powerful, hose and other parts less likely to clog up.

I began lusting after this vacuum when it was first advertised on TV but my existing Shark vacuum was 4 years old with no issues, so why replace it?
When my existing vacuum finally died, I knew it was time for the Apex DuoClean. And boy do I love it!
Pros- Easy to transition between hard and carpeted floors; great suction; doesn't miss a crumb or hair; all of the durability and robustness you'd expect from Shark.
Cons- Takes some getting used to with the fabric roller in the front - it does its job of picking up debris VERY well, but it also tends to grab carpet edges and the vacuum cord rather easily.
Overall I love this vacuum. Would highly recommend to someone on the market for a new vacuum or to anyone skeptical about Shark vs other brands.

This vacuum is amazing. It is easy to use and handles well. I love the easy control of going from hardwood to carpet. The detachment from the vacuum makes it easy to get under the beds and couches. Highly recommend this vacuum.

We just got new vinyl floors and have dogs and cats, therefore lots of hair accumulates on the floors. This vacuum was safe to use on our new floors and works great. The roll brush is great and I like the versatility. I
