I just bought this a few days ago and I love it! It picked up way more dirt from our living room area rug than any other vacuums that we've had (Usually the cheap-O Dirt Devil $50 Specials from WalMart). We also love that it seals in most if not all of the dust without it escaping back into the air. While vacuuming tile floors, it picks up everything instead of kicking stuff around. It's our very first Shark, and we're completely sold on it!
1 year later and how is it working for you? Does it vacuum the baseboards well on wood flooring? That's a requirement for me. Thanks!
Yes, it does. It's a very powerful machine. It's not very often that I buy a gadget that I'm totally in love with. If you don't like it when you buy it, I think they have a return policy of like 30 days or something. Best of luck to you!
Why is this so satisfying to watch?!
Snagged this for $149 on Black Friday. Cleaned our house better than any vacuum I’ve ever used.
glad to hear it!
ill go behind you with my riccar prima canister with power nozzle or my sebo G1 and you would be amazed at what sharky leaves behind
Shark in 10 years: Introducing the new shark every damn technology that exists for 12k
I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your Channel!!!!! SO informative!! I just bought a shark vertex with the special powered pet attachment. Thanks for the recommendation!!! I'm so glad I found your channel!!! You have made this process SO much easier!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
These reviews are awesome and thorough. Thankyou for producing these!
Much appreciated!
Just found this channel after my Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe NV360 died (fell down the stairs due to clumsiness, mechanically it was fine and flawless for 3 years).
Decided to go with this model based on your review. Vacuum is just as described and your channel is a must watch for people buying vacuums. Keep up the great and very much appreciated work!!
Wow thank you!
This was so helpful! It's so difficult to sift through the information available to make a decision on what vacuum to buy. Thank you for the video!
You are so welcome!
My mom recently decided to splurge on one of these as well as a Crosswave. She vacuumed our living room which hadn't been vacuumed in ages, and amazingly there were zero hair tangles. Even with 2 dogs in the house. Going to test out the pet power brush after my doctors appointment in the morning
Update:
Pet powerbrush worked very well! And also if you're wondering, the Crosswave is great too.
That is awesome!
Thanks to your helpful review, I bought this vacuum back in December 2022. Here to report that it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever owned! It does an amazing job!
Great to hear! Thanks for coming back and letting us know!
I bought this yesterday and it works perfectly. I came home and it really sucks good. I have extremely high piled carpet in my living and dining rooms and it wasn't hard to push or pull backwards. I'm a female almost 60 and I didn't feel any resistance. Now, my 80 yr old mother MIGHT have trouble but not the majority of people. I wouldn't have even thought about that if I hadn't seen this video and a few others that claimed the resistance when vacuuming over high piled carpets. NOW, it WILL run away from you on LOW piled carpets like an area rug. I WILL say, when you lift it off of the base, that part is kinda heavy and your arm might get tired if you have to hold it for a while but that isn't an issue. I really bought this for hard surfaced floors and that roller in the front really does help it not leave ANYTHING behind and I did see a slight shine on the floor where I vacuumed. All in all don't hesitate buying this annnd you really don't smell anything after you vacuum so it really must be sealed. I just wish it had that attachment for the ceiling fans though.
I got this as my first real vacuum. Prior to this, I was relying solely on an old 500 series roomba for my tiny apartment and I was sick of having to clean out the filter and hair wrap with every use. The Shark has been amazing at avoiding hair wrap, and it seems to clean well. I bought this one because it has the new duoclean rollers, and I opted for it despite the fact that it's not a powered lift away because it's a couple pounds lighter than the Vertex. I wish the smaller head attachment was powered because using only air suction makes it very loud and perhaps too rough on surfaces, but I still 100% recommend the vacuum.
Glad you are enjoying it!
This is our first Shark Vacuum and we absolutely love it! It did such an amazing job! Our apartment has wood floors and industrial carpet and man! Was I in for a surprise! After using our old vacuum I used the new one we purchased today (shark vacuum) 😳 it was like I hadn’t vacuumed at all! I definitely recommend this vacuum!!
Great to hear!
1 year later, how is it doing for you? I've got wood flooring in 98% of my house and shitty industrial flat carpet in two rooms that might as well be concrete. Does it vacuum along the baseboards too? That's a major requirement of mine. Thanks!
On Jan 5th 2022 my mum bought this NZ850UK, she is 5ft tall and 70 with a few mobility issues, so anyway it was delivered she took out the box switched it on pushed it around for 30 seconds, switched it off and said no I dont like it, its too big and heavy for me, so she then rings me and says you can have this Shark I don't want it (benefits of being an only child), I said so send it back then and get you monay back she said no I can't be bothered (obviously has money to burn) so i'm not turning down a brand new shark, i go racing up my mums, when I get there she's packed it all back away in the box as if it were never opened, I could have cried I was so happy! So I get back home and spend the next hour I thought pissing my neighbours off at 10pm but I didn't because its the quietest vaccum I have ever used, and the amount of fine sand like material I got out of my carpet was shocking, I love it, thanks mum.
Ok this is what I was waiting for. I loved the Rotator Lift away series and now I can get it with the duo clean system!! Right now I have their Shark APEX UpLight Lift-Away DuoClean and even at only 10lbs it feels very cumbersome to use. Turning the head on hard floors leaves scuff marks and is difficult to turn the vacuum even on carpet for some reason.
I am normally a hoover person. Husband told bme to try something else so I went with this model of shark. Bought it with my kohl's card saved over a 100 bucks doing so. Have loved it ever since. It does a really good job at getting up the pet hair and dust cause I have both rugs and hardwood floors.
Thanks for the review. I bought one and used your link so sending what love I can your way.
I really appreciate the video. It was the final deciding factor as I just ordered my first Shark. A Rotator Lift-Away DuoClean (LA502). Decided not to have my 12 year old Miele Salsa repaired. (Great performance but lots of issues through the years). Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
Not that I would buy a vacuum anytime soon. But your videos are really awesome. So I just remembered you as something to watch to fall asleep to and voila you just uploaded. Awesome!
You rock my friend!
I have the shark lift away and it is amazing. I have several pets and you would never know it. Best part is no clogging like cheap vacuums. Pivots like a dream.
Thank you for the thorough, well done review. Wow! Very impressive.
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I just got a brilliant idea for the pulling bug on the vacuum.
What if they designed it with the front roller spinning counterclockwise and the back roller spinning clockwise so they both cancel each other out. They could take it a step further by adding in a feature that rotates one roller faster than the other depending on the direction of the push or pull, so it’s easier to push and pull and feels like your pulling on nothing at all.
I was gonna get this vacuum real soon anyways, but this review just justified/solidified it for me! 😁
Enjoy!
I bought this right before Christmas and got a great deal. I checked your reviews and even though you didn't have one on this vacuum the similar parts that others had i made an informed decision based on your other reviews from shark to get it. What you said i 100% agree with and my experience sweeping is so much better than my old cheaper vacuum. The complete seal is a game changer with 6 cats. I use to sneeze whenever i swept but with the shark i dont.
Nice!
Thanks for the detailed review and also your 2022 vacuum review where this one got high marks. How is this one to maintain? Like purchasing filters, belts, rollers etc? Are the filters, etc pretty spendy to replace? And should this vacuum last a long time with normal use?
I was wondering why my Ion cordless would stall out for a second or two and then run shortly and stall again. I’ll keep the housing of the roller clean. Thanks again!
Just got mine for $150 at bed bath and beyond and i love it in all honesty upgrading from an old navigator
I'm about ready to order this (tonight or tomorrow) based on your review but you mention there are better vacuums for carpet. Is there anything better for carpet in this price range? I have almost 1/2 carpet & that may increase to 2/3 in the future so I want to make sure it does an excellent job on carpet as well since I have an American Eskimo dog that sheds a lot. Also, does the front roller get wrapped up with hair easily? THANKS!
I didn't see this last week on Shark's website when I ordered my corded Vertex uplight. Hmmm...I also got the Vertex powered lift away. I do my light vacuum with uplight and main cleaning day with the Powered Liftaway. I almost got the cordless but they don't have extra batteries in stock right now and I don't want to deal with delays due to dead batteries. We'll see... great review! Smiles and blessings...
You get a large number of views in your comparisons and companies know this affects their sales in a huge way. They want to sell more than the other brands and this gives them a reason to innovate. You're doing way more for the community than just making reviews. I guarantee the manufacturers watch all of your videos.
Thanks so much. I hope they are looking at the comments. People share some really good input too.
I'm thinking of buying this now because of your great review.
Hope you enjoy it!
Would like to see you test edge cleaning with these - how close to the wall from the front or the sides will it clean?
Thank you so much for this super review!
You are so welcome!
Gave up my Shark rotator lift away a few years back for my Dyson cordless. I love my Dyson, but it's not made for every carpet, especially older carpets that need agitation every now and then. I just ordered this Vertex duo and will be using it along with my Dyson. Live and learn.
I'm sorry to hear that but thank you for your input.
@@VacuumWars I think you misunderstood or I wasn't clear. I loved my shark rotator and I thought I was upgrading by buying a dyson. I was wrong. I love my Dyson, but there are things the Shark Rotator did better. That's why I just recently purchased the Vertex. I'll keep the Dyson for general quick vacuuming.
I’m trying to decided between this one and the newer version of the navigator. I have shag carpet In most of my house except upstairs has this low pile carpet that no vacuum I have had wants to pick dirt up from it, just throws it around. I also have a long haired dog, and I also have long hair. Which one do you think would be best?
Thank you so much for this review. I purchased the Rotator based on your recommendation and am loving the features. However, I am a small woman and the "self propelled" feature is causing me a ton of wrist pain that persists for days after vacuuming. This happens even when I vacuum our rugs on the "low" suction. The rest of our house is hardwood and tile. I am not sure if I am going to keep it or not. Do the other Shark vacuums in the same price bracket have that self propelled feature? We bought this to replace our nearly 14 year old Shark Navigator (the model that preceded the lift away!) and while this new one does perform better I can't get past being in pain after vacuuming. Advice?
Not seeing a date for this video but I just bought the LA500 based on another of your videos. I just put it together, read the manual and watched this video before plugging it to be sure I haven't missed anything. I'm pretty sure there's a spare dog in my area carpet. Thanks for this!
Great to hear!
Great Review!!! Thanks!! Two thumbs up!
Much appreciated!
Any plans to review Shark WS620 Wandvac 3 in 1 System? I recently bought it and am impressed by what it can do for the size, but there are a few things that bug me about it. 1. High speed setting is not a switch or a trigger but a rubber button underneath the handle which is very uncomfortable to keep depressed for long periods of time. 2. Batteries are in the handle and it gets very hot and uncomfortable if you use high speed for a few minutes.
I just watched your video on what you use at home. Would you compare this to the speed? We have had our share of sharks and dysons over the year. We have a rotator professional, zero m uplight and a hoover linx. Not really feeling the uplight living up to the review and not sure why. The cord gets so tangled, the linx just eh. Saw your review on the pure but wow that price.
How would you compare this and the navigator NV356E? Are they comparable? which one is better. I have area rugs and hardwood floor
What is the cleaning path width? I just viewed your Shark Vertex review and you mentioned it had a wider cleaning path than the Apex but I do not know the cleaning path width of the Apex, Vertex, or the LA502.
I notice the quote “self propel” with my Shark and my Bissell. The brush does tend to drag it a little bit forward. It isn’t as drastic as my Kirby which of course is a self propelled vacuum, but I do still notice it.
Quick question. My wife and i need to buy a new vac and we were thinking of buying the shark rotator Adv the 502 model. And we would like to know if it pulls on lose carpet stran's.. The reason why we ask is because our old liftaway kept on snagging on the lose carpet stran's and made the carpet worse. Would b able to lets us know please and thx
Would you recommend this one over the nv360 or the origional shark 352. I love my 352 but would like a 2nd shark.
I have all hardwoods with area rugs. Would you recommend this or the navigator?
My navigator came with the hard floor hero attachment which made it so awesome for hard floors but they don't have them anymore with most of their other vacuums, which stinks because it's my favorite thing about my shark. I don't know about the newer lift aways but the hoses on mine are horrible. They cracked within the first two months. I replaced them with different hoses that were not from shark and those hoses are doing great. The only hose from shark that I have left is coming out from the handle & it is now cracked almost all the way around. The bad part is I don't think I can get the handle apart to be able to replace it. The replacement hose from shark comes attached to a handle assembly but the hoses they use are so bad that I don't want to replace a bad hose with another equally bad hose so I don't know what I'm going to do once it completely breaks in two. Right now it's taped but that won't last forever.
I swear I see a vacuum and want a “vs” and this guy has everything! I was looking at the Rotator vs Apex (at Best Buy) and like why is there a $280 difference!? But this one has the new spinning things! I just want one with the Duo since I have hard floors…. Our old shark rotator is shiny blue and white (looks like R2D2) but it’s really my wife’s from like 7 years ago and still works (but some plastics have cracked)
What do you think of built-in heaters in Bissell carpet cleaners?
Great video! I'm looking for a vacuum which is great for both laminate flooring and carpets but also good for pet hair and an upholstery tool is necessary. Could you recommend any please preferably under £200 if possible? I've looked at Vax too but I'm unsure how good it would clean hard/laminate flooring. Thank you!
How do you put on the attachments? I see 3 attachments and only 2 places to put them on.
This vacuum looks like it holds way more than the vertex in the dust cup. Then at the end the Bin size for Vertex is 1qt, 0.89qt for the LA502. Is that correct?
I purchased a Shark LA502 in June, 2021. It is not 11 months later and the soft roller ( the roll on the very front) no longer rotates under power. I have a set of torx security bits on the way but I am worried the gears are toast... Is there anything I can do in the mean time?
I just ordered mine today. So excited to get it. Just put a few Hoovers and dirt devils into the trash.
I had a rotator cannister upright. bought the wheel stand for the cannister. It died in 2 years. I can't use the heavy uprights. are they going to make a cannister unit again? I have pets and just hard wood floors. don't have rugs. please advise
I would love to see a comparison of longevity on the zero m roller (yellow fins and complete rows of stiff bristles) and the power fin roller which has the blue fins and partial rolls of softer bristles... I suspect the latter will not hold up as well over time and if I'm understanding things, there is no way to replace only the blue fin roller when it wear out. I've had a vertex stick vac for only about a month and noticed one of the fins is already beginning to tear. It's not going to affect function yet but it gives me concerns about durability. I think I'd rather cut hair off a traditional roller and have the deeper reaching, longer lasting bristles vs. something that might reduce hair wrap but also reduces lifespan.
can you remover the 2nd roller? our current shark won't and is not spinning. yes, it is cleaned prior to every use.
Havent seen any vacuum videos involving auto detail any suggestions?
How do you d
Fix the duo roller won't lock in place front roller
@Vacuum Wars - you mention you'll be doing a review on the Shark LA322 Navigator soon. Can you give us an idea of when? We were very interested in this one until you mentioned that it would be better for houses with more carpeting. Would like to see your thoughts and then make a decision.
Will the Newer Models still attach to the Caddy on my 6 year old Rotator?
The new Shark Performance ADV Duo Clean with Powerfins model UV850 at Costco appears to be very similar to this Navigator. Can you confirm? The attachment has a brush rather than the fins though. UV850 specs appear to be 960 watts and 8.0 amps. 13.64 pounds. You indicated the power on the rotator was 910 watts. The UV850 at Costco seems to be replacing the UV700 which was 780 watts 9.5 amps and 13.3 pounds. It had zero-m which appeared to be the old style brush roller. Not sure if the UV700 (Performance) had a place to hold attachments. Was the UV700 similar to the Navigator? Which performs better? Also, one has higher wattage, the other higher amps. Thanks!
Can you use this on lvp floor or will it scratch the floor up?
It’s a nice vacuum I love the PowerFins I still have the old rotator that I have for 5 years but I won’t complain about the AVD’s weight
Would love to see an update on this review to see if it's holding up? Lots of reviews of people complaining about these vacuums not lasting very long in comparison to the price.
waiting for your Shark Navigator LA322 review!!
I need to know if the attachments from the old rotator 501 red and white will fit this vacuum ?
Great vid as always ,but, are any of these suggested for commercial heavy duty use? I mean for carpet clean business with all types of pile heights and debris/hair that come with. If not , can u suggest one please?
take a look at this video I did of commercial vacuums - ua-cam.com/video/IMpUUkLM4Jk/v-deo.html
Does the LA502 have a large bin than the AZ2002
Just ordered the vertex. Hope it holds up a good while. My other shark the duo clean has done decent but the small suction hose in the head piece has split and cracked which sucks
I hope you enjoy it!
Excellent presentation!
Thank you!
Great review
Thank you!
Is there any difference between the LA502 and the LA455?
Is there a different between the LA 500 and LA 502?
I'm about 95% sure that Shark saw this video and decided to bump the price up to close the gap between this and the Vertex. When this video first came out, I went to Bed Bath & Beyond with a 20% off coupon and got the ADV for $240(!). An absolute steal for this machine considering it's $320 now 🙄
Anyways, I really appreciate this video as I love the Rotator ADV and I know I got an absolute value buy because of this channel. So Bravo and thank you for your reviews VW!!
Thanks so much!
Actually, bed bath & beyond is at $350 now, but they do allow their 20% coupons taking it down to $280, and through March 6th, they're giving hey bed bath & beyond $50 gift credit that must be used within 30 days, effectively taking it down to $230. I just bought one yesterday after seeing this video to help whittle down the choices.
Will you review the iRobot Braava 250 Jet?
Is the UV850 (Costco model) similar to this vacuum? Been researching and trying to figure out how they differ. Thank you!
I believe the rotating head attachment is differently shaped and it comes in a solid blue color.
I watched project fam the other day he tried out some vacuums and he had a digital particule meter to test HEPA filters I'm surprised that you don't use one yet
He has it too, but only whips it out if if vacuum fails the smoke test.
My last shark died after the brushes ground down. Are all sharks now brushless (I hope?)
How close is the 502 compared to the LA455, pet people lift away?
Is this better than the Costco one? By the By, love your videos. You should review a whole lots of stuff. You will keep me from making mistakes.
Could you please test the Invictus x9 next?
Do a review for that v20 Craftsman stick vacuum!! I heard it's real good
I won't ever purchase another Shark Vacuum. The motorized rollers in the floor nozzle of the Duo models are known to break down, and Shark claims the entire bottom portion of the vacuum including the roller motor is a "wear and tear" item. They don't stand behind their products and will use any excuse to avoid honoring your warranty.
What is that Reed vacuum gauge?
You should make a working vacuum gauge with a five eights inch orifice with your section gauge
Thank you. Just... thank you!!!
Welcome!
Waiting for delivery today…hoping the hair from our Great Pyrenees doesn’t present a problem…thanks for this review!
I hope you are happy with it! Thank you for watching!
@@VacuumWars ready to try it out on tile & carpet AND Great Pyrenees hair from one shedding doggo…by the way there’s no way to attach that self cleaning pet power brush to the base of the unit (?)
So the Navigators are better for carpets
Good review. I have tried this model myself, but I was having some issue with foot pedal when pod is lifted away. After detaching the pod from the floor nozzle, the foot pedal (the little plastic mechanical lock inside) does not spring back as it's supposed to. Consequently, when you put the pod back, it does not lock in place until you manually adjust the lock. It's a pain in the butt. So I was wondering if you experienced the same thing, or it is some kind of quality control issue. An honest answer would be much appreciated.
I'm sorry but I haven't experienced that.
@@VacuumWars thanks for your reply. Looks like you mentioned the same issue on the newer Shark LA322 Navigator
Did they update the model for 2022? I just purchased the rotator ADV and the pet/upholstery brush does not have the fins, and the other brush does not have the bristle attachment. ☹️
There can be variations between the models and the different retailers apparently. I'm sorry to hear that.
Just got this about 3 weeks ago! I love it, I have a question. Am I supposed to change filters?
You can clean them with running water and let them dry for 24 hours. Make sure that the filters are washable first.
You should wash the sponge filters every 2 months and change the Hepa filter once a year. Of course this varies by how much and how often you vacuum.
Can you Review The Hoover allergy canister vacuum
Can you do a review video of the xiaomi mijia cleanfly fv2? It's a handheld vacuum that I'm very curious about. Other manufacturers are now coping it and slapping their name on it like wyze.
I'll have a review out this Friday a4 $ EST about that Wyze.
Where do the attachments go
I think it’s cool to see a vacuum “walk”. Lol. My Royal does that.
My Kirby Legend 2 Does that when it's set all the way down
lots me at this vacuum from 2012 is iconic.
Any chance you are reviewing the UV850 any time soon?
I'm not - but that one looks a lot like the one we reviewed here - ua-cam.com/video/lhYh4ZWYwWs/v-deo.html
I am seriously old - I look forward to new videos by a youtuber talking about vaccums.
Right there with you.
