Shark APEX DuoClean Lift-Away

The DuoClean system features two distinct brushrolls working in tandem: a soft roller for polishing hard floors and picking up fine dust, and a bristle brush for deep-cleaning carpets. You don't need to manually switch settings when moving between surfaces.

Powered Lift-Away allows you to detach the main canister from the floor nozzle while keeping the brushroll powered. This makes it significantly easier to clean under low-profile furniture or reach up to clean stairs and upholstery without lugging the entire vacuum unit.

Yes, it is designed to handle pet hair effectively on both carpets and hard floors. The combination of strong suction and the DuoClean brushroll helps prevent hair wrap and ensures debris is pulled directly into the dustbin.

No, this is a bagless vacuum. It uses a dustbin that you empty directly into the trash, which saves on the recurring cost of buying replacement bags.

The vacuum includes a sealed HEPA filtration system that captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the unit. This is particularly helpful if you or your family members suffer from seasonal allergies or sensitivities to dust.

At 17 pounds, it is a standard weight for a full-sized upright vacuum. While it is sturdy, the swivel steering helps with maneuverability, and the Lift-Away mode makes it feel much lighter when you are cleaning stairs or overhead areas.
