Best Vacuum for Pets and Mixed Floor Surfaces

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Configuration: PowerFins Self-Cleaning BrushrollColor: Dark LilacVerified Purchase

We have 2 fluffy dogs and a mix of hardwood, short, medium, and high pile area rugs. We've had Dysons and other Shark vacuums, but they can never handle this without a lot of hassle. The AZ2001AMZ has the best floor brush we've ever experienced. It didn't get wrapped up in dog hair, and it didn't choke on the occasional leaf or twig they carried inside. It also can handle many pieces of dog toy stuffing without clogging. The handle has a very easy switch for different surfaces. The lift-away feature allows great versatility on stairs, and splits the weight between arms. The canister is also very large and splits dust and debris very efficiently, preventing clogging and minimizing the need for frequent emptying.

Great suction power. Debris chamber could be bigger.

Configuration: PowerFins Self-Cleaning BrushrollColor: Dark LilacVerified Purchase

Just got this vacuum an hour ago. You see, Fridays around her is clean-up day, and my job is to run the vacuum. Don't tell my wife, but I call is Friday Fun Day. Anyway, this unit was delivered after my vacuuming chores were done; but I thought I'd try it out anyway. I tested two area rugs, and the amount of dog hair was amazing. This was after I already vacuumed the rugs with our trusty old (name brand withheld). I like how you can detach the canister and vacuum under beds and clothes drawers (which I won't be doing too often unless the boss catches me slacking). After one use, my only qualm is the size of the dust bin/chamber. If I pretty much filled it with hair after just two area rungs, I see myself dumping the bin several times instead of just once. We'll see next Friday as to just how much the bin can hold! As of now - I got a new vacuum, and it works great!

What Dyson use to be WOW

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024

Configuration: Original Self-Cleaning BrushrollColor: EspressoVerified Purchase

Remember 20 years ago when the Dyson vacumn was making its name. I bought 3 vacumns from Dyson or that 20 years; DC14, Dc33, and the animal ball. The animal was a piece of crap. The Dc14-33 were good vacumns. The Dc14 was amazing. The Shark Apex is amazing, maybe even better than the Dyson Dc14. The suction is WOW. After vacumning, my carpet color looked brighter, So much dirt and cat hair came up that even my husband was impressed. It's amazingly quiet and very maneuverable. The quick start instructions were easy to follow. Some people complain about the weight but I don't think it's heavy at all. I like being able to remove the canister and vacumn UNDER the bed, Shazam! And the stairs. Yes the suction is strong, hallelujah. Everything I wanted in a vacumn. Now my Dc14 is still working but the suction is not so good. If this shark last 6 to 10 years ill be happy. If you like things clean this is the one to buy. It's not cheap but the price is reasonable for the vacumn quality. My one and only negative, The capture canister is not so big, I can live with that. Happy vacumning people.

Great Vacuum

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021

Configuration: Original Self-Cleaning BrushrollColor: EspressoVerified Purchase

I am the former owner of the Shark Rotator Pro Lift-A-Way. <--- this was my favorite vacuum ever. I have owned it for a few years and would have never considered giving it up until it quit, but my daughter is moving into a new home that is carpeted, so it turned into a hand me down. I thought about purchasing the same again for myself, but the one and only thing that drove me nuts was that hair (mostly my own, which is long) had to be cut from the roller often - so I opted for the Shark APEX AZ1002 DuoClean with Self-Cleaning Brushroll Lift-Away Upright Vacuum.

This thing has great suction. I had just vacuumed the day before I got it, then vacuumed again when I got this new one. It picked up so much dust (and dog hair) out of the carpet I was shocked.

It is definitely heavier and a little more bulky than my previous vacuum, but it is just a matter of getting used to it.

The headlight works great, and I didn't notice until today (I'm a couple of weeks in on this thing) that the part that you detach to use the hose (with attachments) has a light as well - that's pretty awesome.

The roller has not had any hair wrapped around it. It did have a string that it sucked up from somewhere, but that was easily removed by using the handy hatch that sits above the roller (no need to turn this thing over to clean it).

The control buttons are on the handle, up high where they are easily accessed with your thumb- the power button, and the adjustment button.

All the things that detach/reattach (the hose, the wand, and the canister) are much better on this model than the last one, except the canister is heavier and take a second to get it on the tracks to remount it.

The cord is a little longer than my other Shark, but both were absolutely sufficient and longer than cords on other vacuums I have owned. Would be nice if it was retractable - not sure Shark has a model that does that.

Works well on hard floors, but would go with a lighter, more agile model if that's what I needed it for; I'm a broom and dustpan kind of person, so no big deal there.

If you are vacuuming area rugs, you will need to have someone stand on one end, because it will suck the whole thing up (or get acrobatically creative and do it alone).

The area in which the vacuum is a bit lacking would be the hose, when using attachments, is so short, but I don't know how this might be fixed. Two attachments ride on the vacuum, but one of them gets knocked off easy because it sticks out away from the vacuum some. The attachments work find, but seem cheap compared to my previous Shark.

The lift a canister is heavy when holding it (detached from the vacuum). I had gone around the house sucking cobwebs out of corners and near the ceiling so there was a lot of moving around - this thing will give you a work out. My other Shark came with a base with wheels that you could set the canister on and it would roll behind you - wish this one had that option.

Someone in another review mention that the cord holder thing that keeps the cord up off the ground while you vacuum didn't work well - that's true. It gets knocked out of there pretty easy. It may have been the same review that someone also mention that the deal that holds the hose (like a ball into a joint) doesn't work well. I've only knocked it loose once.

The first time I used this vacuum, I noticed it doesn't really "fluff" the carpet up as well as my other Shark - I think it must have something to do with the hair free roller - I miss the stripes in the carpet.

I would recommend buying extra filters so that when you wash them out, you can alternate while the ones that were just cleaned dry out.

None of the less attractive things mentioned above is a deal breaker. This vacuum does the job.

Update 9 months. Couldn’t be happier now that I’ve used this for a long time. My husky mix sheds like crazy on a dark carpet. This is the best at picking up dog fur!!! Love the lights on the wand - can see fur in all the hidden places. Anyway, I don’t think you can go wrong with it.

Update 3 months. Was working fine. I was starting to really like it. Then the brush rollers stopped working. The led lights were flashing and the power button was green. Looked it up online and many comments about the problem. I tried cleaning the wand connectors as suggested but did not work. Called Shark customer service. They did a video call and confirmed the problem. Said I needed a new roller unit but it was not covered under the warranty. Only the motor was covered. What? 3 months? When I balked they agreed to a “one time special” to send another replacement but I’d have to pay shipping. I balked again so they agreed to pay shipping. The point is why is this an issue (as reported by others as well) and why is the WHOLE vacuum not covered for a year?!!!

Original. Was not quite as powerful as I thought when using it on carpet. For example I don’t see the lines as clearly as I did with my old one. However I do like it and I love the features that allow you to lift away the canister and wand (note the hose is kind of short and pulls the rest over if you pull too much). I like the tilting mechanism when using to go left or right but find it is difficult for my wrist to turn it easily. I need my other hand to help. Maybe if my arm was stronger this wouldn’t be an issue. Overall I’m happy.

Muy buena pero relación calidad precio un poco cara. La versión shark normal (no apex) hace casi lo mismo

Great vacuum and picks up a lot of dust my old vacuum didn't. It is a little heavy and maneuvering can be a bit heavy in some cases and there could be a few other attachments that don't come with this but normality come with other vacuums. However the performance of so good that have to give it a 5 star review.

Great Value

I have had many vacuums over the years and this one has great suction power, is so easy to use and it's light. Because you can use it as both a canister and an upright it is so versatile. It is one of the least expensive vacuums I have ever bought but it is not cheaply built. The only issue I have with it so far is that the hose is a little short but based on the design I don't see how it could be longer in order to be used as both the upright and the canister. I will be looking into getting a longer hose to use with the canister.
