That is true I didn’t know it was self clean but I was testing that one and other vacuum and I checked the bottom and have a lot of my hair the first time I checked and next day I used it to tested in all the house when I was done I was gonna clean the bottom and I was like where is my hair that was here yesterday? Is all clean I was so sorprice , it’s good because I have a cat and now 4 bunnies and I have to vacuum either every day or every other day and the regular vacuums get the hair on the brush a lot worst
Nothing better than having a pet do a pet vac review. LOL Your little black and white fur baby was watching ever so carefully everything you did. I couldn't help but get a good laugh as they reminded me of a foreperson looking over your shoulder as you work! : )
I have with my shark. No video though. I could maybe do it? I have two dogs, a cat, and there's 3 girls in my house. My husband and son dont shed like we do 😂 my self cleaning brush works amazingly.
The trick to Zero M Self Cleaning Brush roll is to move the power head back and forth as you're vacuuming to give the machine time to clean itself. Your technique was pushing forward and back then on to more hair is sucking up the hair but not enough movement to allow machine to clean the brush...so it will tend to bunch up. Try multiple passes back and forth, not just short jerky forward movements only.
All vacuums work great when they are new. Post back in 7 years and see how things are. I have an Animal Dyson and after 7 years it won't the pick up is terrible and I have cleaned out the whole thing. They don't make anything like they used to. Great video very informative.
Purchased this from Costco 6 months ago and I loved it, till one day the brush head stopped spinning. I cleaned it regularly just as instructed, I followed troubleshooting from their site. I called their customer service and did troubleshooting with them, still didn't work. They told me that part of the vacuum was not covered by the warranty even though that wasn't specified in the user guide. They told me that it was in the manual, however the manual isn't included in the box. Told me they can give me a discount on the replacement (the whole bottom part of the vacuum that holds the brushes) I will be returning it for a refund and am sad as I loved the way it works, but am not sure if it is worth the risk of getting another one
I hope you got a replacement from Costco? I wrote the following comment 'n then checked to see how old video was + noticed was a year ago. Am still going to print it hoping it helps others? And again, hope you got it resolved? I bet Costco WILL replace it if only 6mos old? Last year I bought a 2 pack of Philip's Diamond Series Sonic Toothbrushes and asked the rep if I could PURCHASE a PROTECTION PLAN, as I do with ALL electronics? Too many become duds or perform poorly. She said "Costco doesn't have them but that they REPLACE ANYTHING that goes defective, no matter HOW LONG you've had it!" Not quite sure I believe that entirely? But do believe that after ONLY 6 months they most certainly + probably WILL? Much luck as you deserve to have an expensive working product longer than a measly 6 months!
After using this for a month now, we REALLY like this vacuum, it has tons of power and 1/2 the price of a Dyson. I would buy it again, especially at the Costco sale price we paid for it.
it is now end of October 2021 and I just recently got the APEX AZ1002 Vacuum and works great. Fortunately I dont have any pets or people with long hair in my house, but this APEX does a great job with picking up allot of dust in my house. My past older vacuums had to use bags(cant find bags anymore) with them and wanted to get a newer bagless vacuum. I also looked at the newer VERTEX vacuum but felt it had too much suction power for me and did not like the blueish LED lights on the vacuum. All in all I really like the APEX AZ1002 Vacuum for cleaning my house. I do wish they had more useful accessories for these vacuums. There is an accessories pack for Sharks vacuums(dont list the AZ1000) but some say they work and some say they dont work well or at all(hesitant to getting it costs 80 dollars). My APEX did not come with a nice brush attachment, just some motorized pet accessory which I dont have pets, so really not necessary for me. take care.
Regarding brush cleaner, Amazon reviewer mentioned it was slow to get brush to clean. Therefore, it might do a better job if you let it run a little bit longer before turning it off. Do you you have an update on this issue?
just orderedone off of amazon, two large dogs, replacing a dyson older model, wife complains all the time having to cut hair out of the vacuum . we have tile , so , i am hopeful we will like it, great vid , thx..
Well, I actually think the vacuum did a pretty decent job with the dog hair. Honestly, I'd be less concerned about how much hair was left on the roller and more concerned about all that hair floating around, getting into my food when I'm cooking, YIKES!!!
It cleans itself over time. It takes a minute for the hair to get taken apart. I have the apex with zero m. While it's not perfect it works way better than my other vacuums as far as collecting hair.
I'm sure it works better than most, however that chunk of hair that needed scissors is not going to clean itself over time. With regular maintenance I'm hoping this product is worth it. I'm going to buy one soon.
I have this one but its def not self cleaning. My hose is super short. I cant even attach my suction nozzel to the hose to suck up stuff in hard to reach places like the base board. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
When is the last time you cleaned your house!? Plus you are filling it up further than you are suppose too. Look at the line on the side on the tank when you are suppose to stop and empty it. Take your dog outside and give him a good brushing periodically.
We have the Shark Apex with Duo clean plus self-cleaning brush roll and it's the same thing with that one. You have to turn it to carpet mode and let it run for a few seconds and the hair will disappear from the brush roll.
I just bought one, it really did pretty good, y’all had a lot of hair to pick up, was that more than one days worth? I think it will do better once you get the bulk up. I was reading the book that comes with it, and it was saying it may have hair around the rollers. I had hair around mine too, I don’t have any pets at this time, lost mine last Year,so I’m thinking my old vac wasn’t all that great. Try it for another week see what happens, it seems to have A great suction. But it doesn’t have a thing for height of carpet, so it makes it harder to push, I need something Lighter, I’m disabled and older, can’t decide , should I send it back or give it to one of the kids. But I really think You’ll be happy with it, shouldn’t have that much hair, if used regularly . I really like it if it would raise higher. I Don’t have thick carpet either, I wish I had wood floors like y’all have.Good luck with your choice. You have some Beautiful babies, they are precious . 👍👍💕😃😃🎃🎃🎃
Considering the insane amount of hair this had to suck up I don't think the amount of hair you had to pull off the brush was all that bad. We have a Kirby and the brush ALWAYS has to be cleaned of hair with a razor blade. We don't have this much hair lying around so I'm sure most people would be satisfied with it. Great torture test!
Thanks for this! Too much hair to cut out. QVC’s Today’s Special Value (2/21/21) is the newest version. Shark Slim DuoClean. Their demonstration showed no residual hair to cut out.
I have a Shark Navigator ZU62. I've never had to clean the rollers (three girls and two dogs). Hardwood floors throughout, vacuum every day. Things I don't like - only 25' cord, it tips over when using the hose after about 5' (unlike the 12' some videos claim). But I will still recommend a Shark over Dyson (previous Dyson user).
Get the shark vertix, it has an even better brush head against tangled hair. You have to run it awhile for the hair to get untangled, and if you go over the hair slower it will be less likely to get caught on the brush head. Still your test was very hair heavy and another vacuum would have done way worse.
We also have a V8 animal and I'm about to buy this from Costco too. AND have 3 hairy doggos like you. That little tool/brush you said you don't use on your Dyson either is for your couch cushions, chairs, barstools etc. It works great so try it! Even works on the bathtub we don't use which somehow also gets dog hair in it. Cheers!
My Mom ordered me one off of QVC. I have had other Shark vacuum’s my last 2 had the ball bearings heat up and the gears lock and it had an electrical fire in the unit. This Duo Clean model is quiet. Bu t the suction is not strong.... and I am really not happy with it. I have no pets and the self cleaning roller really does not work like they claim. I have had the days animal uprise in the past, that too did not last that long. Vacuums are too expensive and they are not made very strong or reliable anymore. Thank you for your video you have the cutest pets.
It's this one from Costco: www.google.com/shopping/product/18063353703332286861?psb=1&q=shark+vacuum&prds=epd:13826790572211626763,prmr:3&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-ud3R37vmAhWSsZ4KHXsgCfwQ8wIIuQE
It seems like you did pickup clumps of hair. It could be worse. What are your thoughts on the vacuum now aftrr having it a bit longer? This is how my house looks like with 2 German Shepherds. Lol
If you ever watch QVC or HSN shopping network, they have some great sales on this vacuum ,I was to late for the 189.00 price S and H free, but mine was 199.00 with S & H free, that’s best time to buy. Sorry I didn’t read comments until after I put my two cents in.👍💕😃
Thank you for this video, I was debating if I should spend $330 the new shark. How much did you pay for your model? I'm wondering if I should just wait for a sale. I do have long hair dogs I'm trying to find a vacuum that will not clog up
It self cleans over time and you need to move back and forth. Also, if you see large clumps of hair, grab them with your hand and toss them. Why would you vacuum it up? Very lazy they way you both arent keeping up with the mess. Gross living with so many animals.
I paid $600 for my Miele...great suction but cleaning out the human hair from the carpet attachment was a huge pain! Hoping I like this one better. Best vacuum I ever had was a Kenmore canister type!
Before you stop vacuuming you have to let it run for a couple of seconds
This. Let it sit for a few seconds and it'll clear that brush out ♡
That is true I didn’t know it was self clean but I was testing that one and other vacuum and I checked the bottom and have a lot of my hair the first time I checked and next day I used it to tested in all the house when I was done I was gonna clean the bottom and I was like where is my hair that was here yesterday? Is all clean I was so sorprice , it’s good because I have a cat and now 4 bunnies and I have to vacuum either every day or every other day and the regular vacuums get the hair on the brush a lot worst
Use a seam ripper to remove hair from a roller, not a scissor!
Best real test of a vacuum I've ever watched.
Nothing better than having a pet do a pet vac review. LOL Your little black and white fur baby was watching ever so carefully everything you did. I couldn't help but get a good laugh as they reminded me of a foreperson looking over your shoulder as you work! : )
I'd like to see someone vacuum a household with several long haired people.
I wish I had long enough hair to make that happen
I have with my shark. No video though. I could maybe do it? I have two dogs, a cat, and there's 3 girls in my house. My husband and son dont shed like we do 😂 my self cleaning brush works amazingly.

I wonder if COSTCO would replace it? Thank you for your comment.
Did Costco replace it ?
Good thing that you purchased it from Costco. So returning it for your $$$ back was no problem.

Love how you have 10 dogs but honestly have no clue how you guys keep up with it... 2 huskies and a Bullmastiff here... it’s so much work
LOVE Huskies also!! We have add one to our family now also. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you, we still love this vacuum, I just made a 2 month follow up video, but haven't posted it yet.
What model number is this Shark? thanks!
Good question - it is Shark Model UV700, I don't think they still make this one, the video is a few years old- Thank you for the comment!
Well, I actually think the vacuum did a pretty decent job with the dog hair. Honestly, I'd be less concerned about how much hair was left on the roller and more concerned about all that hair floating around, getting into my food when I'm cooking, YIKES!!!
Thank you for an honest review.
It cleans itself over time. It takes a minute for the hair to get taken apart. I have the apex with zero m. While it's not perfect it works way better than my other vacuums as far as collecting hair.
You are correct - I hope to make a Part #2 about this Vacuum. Thank you for your comment!

Could be a different model - our hose is long and after two years still self cleaning!! Thank you for the comment!
When was the last time you actually vacuumed 😬 I have this vacuum. Love it
We didn't vacuum for a few days for this video - but we alot of dogs. Thank you for the comment!

If you sometimes let it run for a few minutes without vacuuming any hair if sometimes cleans it
It's been months later and this is still a great vacuum, Thank you for the comment!

what the name of that beautiful song at 3:35 please tell it speaks to my soul....
That song is called: Stranger Danger - from UA-cam's Audio library. It's free to use.
super helpful thanks guys!
Wow! Results are amazing!
Still love this vacuum - Thank you for your comment.
Where does it self clean?
Thanks for this! Too much hair to cut out. QVC’s Today’s Special Value (2/21/21) is the newest version. Shark Slim DuoClean. Their demonstration showed no residual hair to cut out.

Dyson is the worst to get tangled
What model is this?
It's this one from Costco: www.google.com/shopping/product/18063353703332286861?psb=1&q=shark+vacuum&prds=epd:13826790572211626763,prmr:3&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-ud3R37vmAhWSsZ4KHXsgCfwQ8wIIuQE
BUT we got it on sale for $199
It seems like you did pickup clumps of hair. It could be worse. What are your thoughts on the vacuum now aftrr having it a bit longer?
This is how my house looks like with 2 German Shepherds. Lol
The MORE we use this, the more we LIKE it, I need to make a follow up video to this. Thank you for your comment!
Just picked up an Apex fr $50 at Goodwill. I got a short haired cat and a tiny apt. Really nice so far.
Nice price - Thank you for the comment!
That roller should pop right off to clean
There's a release button for tha troller
If you ever watch QVC or HSN shopping network, they have some great sales on this vacuum ,I was to late for the 189.00 price S and H free, but mine was 199.00 with S & H free, that’s best time to buy. Sorry I didn’t read comments until after I put my two cents in.👍💕😃
Get a straight suction canister vacuum and the Wessel Werk RD285 floor attachment. You will not be disappointed.
well u got 10 dogs vacuum every day
You are not cleaning that correctly. That bar comes off with that little latch. You did not read the instructions.
Thank you for this video, I was debating if I should spend $330 the new shark. How much did you pay for your model? I'm wondering if I should just wait for a sale. I do have long hair dogs I'm trying to find a vacuum that will not clog up
It was $199 on sale at Costco. Normally $269 there. they put it on sale every few months. Still love this one.! Thank you for the comment!
@@StevesRealWorld thank you
Good review. You could have made a new dog with all the hair you accumulated.
YES, we didn't vacuum for a few days so we would have ALOT of hair for the video!!! Thank you for the comment
Had our shark more then 5 yrs. Great vacuum never had issues with it. Jus as good as a dyson for 1/2 the price!!😊
This SHARK is growing on me, it is really powerful and 1/2 the price of a Dyson.
*better than dyson
Thank you!
The duo clean is not good with hair. The shark navigator zero m without duo clean would have been better.
Its obvious that theres gonna b hair on vac,the answer is just to do it more often x
Did Shark ever comment about it?
No, I never asked them about it - BUT watch our 3 month follow up video on this Vacuum for more about it: ua-cam.com/video/7y22hsKzAh4/v-deo.html
Too bad you can't make sweaters out of doggy hair.
Maybe I could with all of the Husky fur, it's REALLY SOFT - Thank you for your comment!
Please do a update after a year ❤️
We did a 3 month follow up here: ua-cam.com/video/7y22hsKzAh4/v-deo.html

Shark vacuum really are some of the worst machines. There is no self cleaning brush roller that works as of 2020. Just buy a SEBO or Miele next time .
I paid $600 for my Miele...great suction but cleaning out the human hair from the carpet attachment was a huge pain! Hoping I like this one better. Best vacuum I ever had was a Kenmore canister type!
What model was this ?
