I was a hesitant to click on a 20+ minute video, but I ended up watching it until the end. Thank you for the excellent and very thorough review! Expecting just specs, it was great to see you test out different common scenarios.
Thanks for another great video. I like that a good upright isn't always terribly noisy like some. I would love to see how the dust away nozzle works on bare floor, along with the canister - the dust way is quite an unusual head.
Such a quality review. Thank you! I've done quite a bit of research myself, and for our needs I don't think I could find a better vacuum than the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed. Just ordered one today and am actually excited! LOL
An incredibly concise and clear review, very detailed allows the consumer to make an informed choice, whichever Vacuum they may choose to purchase. I like how all mechanisms of the machines are covered in this review.👍
I love your vacuum reviews! I was all set to get the NV752 but I see that the NV682 is on sale at BB&B so I'm thinking about getting that one instead. My home has wall to wall carpet and is about 1600 sq ft. Is there any reason not to get the NV682? I noticed that when you attach remove accessories on the NV752 there's a click but I don't hear that on the NV682. Are those attachments held by friction alone? Thanks!
Hi Richard. I just checked the Duster Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool, and Pet Power Brush for the NV682 and they are all friction fit - no clicking into place.
I love your review excellent-I wish you would of shown the lift away in use-(or dud I miss it) I have a weigh limit for lifting and do cleaning for offices and wanted this but mainly to use it for stairs and cleaning blinds- I hooked on your reviews!
I would need the powered mini brush for stairs, and the NV682 does not include this (TruPet motorized) but the NV752 does have it. Can the mini motorized brush from the 752 work on the 682? I'm more interested in the 682 due to the lighter weight. I bought the Rocket but doesn't seem powerful enough for our carpet (but it also has a mini motorized brush).
VacuumAdvisor OK, thanks for checking. Do you know if they happen to make a motorized mini brush attachment to for the NV682? I looked on the Shark site, and it doesn't really state which accessories work for which models.
We just bought Model NV682 thinking that it came with the Dust Away Pro Hard Floor Attachment (with the wheels as shown in your video) but it only came with a dust away hard floor attachment without wheels that can only be attached to the wand. We have all hard wood floors so this won't work for us. If we bought the correct floor attachment with the wheels will it even fit?
Hi Katrina. You can see the tool on the Shark site here: www.sharkclean.com/parts/0/all/576/dust-away-pro-hard-floor-attachment-with-1-pad/?modelNumber=NV682 You can also check that this fits your model by clicking the text "Works with these models" on the page. It does seem odd however that Shark indicates all NV680 models come with the "Dust-Away™ Pro Cleaner Head" and yours did not. Ours was not bought separately and it came in the box.
I needed an answer and I think you inadvertently gave it to me. I've watched several UA-cam videos about the Shark vacuum, and was looking for the answer as to why my green light indicator was not turning on to show that the roller was rolling. Others, and you, have shown the button that says carpet or flooring, but never mentioned that that is how and why the green light goes on or off. THEN, you very simply said, hard floor...your brush is not spinning, the other is carpet...carpet means your brush roller is turned on. Although you never mentioned that that would mean the green light would then turn on...I got the drift! In your next video..Shark Vacuum for Dummies...you should say... if the green light indicator is not on, slide this button to carpet mode. lol.
Hi Jennifer: We quickly looked at the dusting & vacuuming cleaner heads on the Shark NV752 and NV682. These tools are designed for hard floor cleaning - hardwood floors, tile, linoleum, stone, etc. They have a vacuum suction channel in front with a washable microfiber pad behind. The suction channel is designed to pick up small to medium sized debris and the microfiber pad is designed to help remove stuck on dust. The unit that comes with the NV752 (Hard Floor Genie) cannot be used in upright mode - the vacuum will not stand with this tool on the bottom. It can only be used in Canister or Lift Away mode. The unit that comes with the NV682 (Dust Away Pro) has two back wheels that allow it to work in upright mode as well. We put debris (same material as shown in the video) down on our tile floors and ran both machines with their tools. The results were about the same for each machine - they removed everything. However, the suction channel picked almost all of the debris up but some of what didn’t get picked up on the first pass got picked up and stuck on the microfiber pad. The thing is that if it hadn't been picked up by the microfiber pad then it would most likely have been sucked up by the vacuum channel on the second pass. So it really didn’t accomplish much except create additional work in having to wash the pad. We can see the value in these tools when you have stuck on dust - the kind of dust that suction alone will not pickup. Our tile floors didn’t have that (or had very little stuck on dust) and we just couldn’t test the units under those circumstances. If you don’t have much stuck on dust then it may be easier to just use the motorized nozzle with the brushbar off. For what it’s worth we did notice another possible advantage to these tools. They have a narrower suction channel (than the main motorized nozzles) so the suction along this channel is more concentrated. Also, the channel on the NV752 tool is at the very front of the nozzle while on the main motorized nozzle the channel is about an inch from the front, so it should allow you to vacuum a little closer to the front of the nozzle. One thing you should bear in mind is that these tools are only meant to be used on dry bare floor surfaces. They should not be used on damp floors or any kind of wet sticky mess. You don’t want water or fluid of any kind being pulled up and into the vacuum.
+VacuumAdvisor hi UA-cam seems to have cut your sentence about picking up almost all the debris to the word but leaving us on a worrying cliff hanger! Could you please add the rest in another comment? I've just bought one btw so I'm hoping it's not bad news ::-(
Hi - Here is the rest (hope it shows): However, the suction channel picked almost all of the debris up but some of what didn’t get picked up on the first pass got picked up and stuck on the microfiber pad.

+VacuumAdvisor hello Thanks for replying. It's cut off some of your reply again, there must be a character limit, but I was able to see the first couple of paragraphs & learn what you were saying, would love to know the rest if you get a chance . It seems the dust away head is better generally in cleanish floors without much debris because of the cloth issue but the main head for other cleaning? I think that including hard floor cleaning in a vacuum review is good idea for future vacuum reviews as many people have various floor types. Anyway, I'll let you know how I find mine :-) I'm mainly carpets at the moment.
Hi Debra - My suggestion is to call Shark and ask them about this. There are quite a few instances of people getting different tools sets with this vacuum. I have also heard of cases where Shark will send you over the caddy if you didn't get it but I don't really know if that will work. We did not buy anything in the video separate from the vacuum and everything you see came in the box.
I was a hesitant to click on a 20+ minute video, but I ended up watching it until the end. Thank you for the excellent and very thorough review! Expecting just specs, it was great to see you test out different common scenarios.
this guy is way better than sharks "Science Guy" commercials! They should contract you for their infomercial!!
That would be nice!
Is there a suction difference between the 682 and the 752?
Thanks for another great video. I like that a good upright isn't always terribly noisy like some. I would love to see how the dust away nozzle works on bare floor, along with the canister - the dust way is quite an unusual head.
Is there a disassembly guide for this vacuum?
Such a quality review. Thank you! I've done quite a bit of research myself, and for our needs I don't think I could find a better vacuum than the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed. Just ordered one today and am actually excited! LOL
Shark rotator vacuum nv 683. Best vacuum ever. I have owned many vacuums, even Kirby's. Shark is the best, hands down.
Thanks, wow I've been researching this model and this is the best review I've seen!
An incredibly concise and clear review, very detailed allows the consumer to make an informed choice, whichever Vacuum they may choose to purchase. I like how all mechanisms of the machines are covered in this review.👍

Hi Richard. I just checked the Duster Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool, and Pet Power Brush for the NV682 and they are all friction fit - no clicking into place.
Can it clean well head on? I'd read the suction is at the side only.
I love your review excellent-I wish you would of shown the lift away in use-(or dud I miss it) I have a weigh limit for lifting and do cleaning for offices and wanted this but mainly to use it for stairs and cleaning blinds- I hooked on your reviews!
hi I have parquet flooring throughout my whole house what do you recommend ?
how can i get one, been googling for a hour and unable to find what is the model number

I'm more interested in the 682 due to the lighter weight. I bought the Rocket but doesn't seem powerful enough for our carpet (but it also has a mini motorized brush).
We could not attach the NV752 mini motorized tool to the NV682. It doesn't appear to fit.

Nice review. Would have liked to see the dust away tool in action though considering it's different from the one that comes with the true pet model.

I just bought the NV682 and it did not come with the Canister Caddy. According to your video it is supposed to come with it.
Hi Debra - My suggestion is to call Shark and ask them about this. There are quite a few instances of people getting different tools sets with this vacuum. I have also heard of cases where Shark will send you over the caddy if you didn't get it but I don't really know if that will work.

VacuumAdvisor, I did call them and they are sending me the caddy. Thank you for your video and response.
awesome video thank you!
Great job.
