This Rating Is For The “Shark AZ1002 Apex Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with DuoClean & Self-Cleaning Brushroll, Crevice Tool, Upholstery Tool & Pet Power Brush, for a Deep Clean on & Above Floors, Espresso”.
This is our first Shark vacuum cleaner. Compared to all the previous vacuums we have owned and used, this one really has awesome suction. It did extremely well on our hardwood floors and our inside carpet. It was not quite as good on our outside carpet in our mudroom entrance. However, having said that, this Shark did better than anything else here too. Also, once the dirt is in this vacuum it does not leave it until you dump the dust cup.
We like the no bags, cleanable foam filter and easy to replace HEPA filter. (We had no problems finding these items and purchasing them at Amazon. Now if it ever becomes necessary to change one and/or both of these filters, we will be able to do a quick change and keep right on cleaning). We also like the LED lights shining where one is vacuuming. This is especially true under furniture or dark locations.
It takes some getting use to having a vacuum that comes apart to do different types of cleaning jobs. This is both nice and awkward at the same time. It is great for getting under furniture such as sofas or beds, but becomes quite a workout when cleaning a stairwell. One has to hold the canister in one hand and the cleaning wand in the other. This vacuum’s design prevents having a long hose for this task. We need to ask if Shark has an optional longer attachable hose for this type of cleaning job.
We have had this Shark AZ1002 Apex vacuum for about a month (as of this writing) and so far so good. We are considering purchasing a second one so we can have one on each floor.
This Shark vacuum is expensive for us, but seems to be worth it. It is nice to be able to make two passes over a spot and move on to the next one, knowing you have picked more dirt than anything else would have done. This is a very good high quality product when all is said and done.
Our last comment: Nobody here is affiliated with Shark or even Amazon for that matter. These positive comments posted here are how we see it and have been posted accordingly.

I vacuumed 2 days ago with my old vacuum....
My previous vacuum was a Shark Liftaway and it was 6½ years old and died 2 days ago while I was cleaning. I decided my next vacuum cleaner was going to be a nicer one and after having a cordless stick vacuum with lights on it, I decided that my heavy duty vacuum also needed light so I could see the dust and dog hair that I needed to clean. The suction this vacuum has is honestly so good! The pet attachment that I used on our stairs does get hair tangled in it but it was not hard to pull it out, suck it up, and continue my cleaning. There's 3 modes on this vacuum that I didn't realize it had until I received it. Hardwood, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet. The cord on this vacuum is longer than my last so I don't need to constantly change outlets as much. I also love that this one detaches to where it feels like you have a stick vacuum so I can get under furniture easier. I definitely recommend this vacuum, but I'll update if anything happens. For reference I have a Belgian Malinois and mine sheds A LOT.
