I have a dirty house. It’s usually picked up, but the constant laundry, dishes and crap that collect everywhere is maddening. I blame the boys. Red is a tornado, and Hubs likes to leave cups everywhere and his work stuff scattered on the counters (please note the kettle is not calling the pot black, and it is aware that she is messy, too…). I lamented my woes to the folks at Shark at Type A Conference, and after learning about my big Bulldog, a hairy calico and two messy boys, they were so understanding!
Since Shark Cleaning is debuting the new Shark Rotator Lift Away Vacuum, I was very happy to help them review it. But truthfully, I was skeptical. Could it even match the performance of my Dyson Animal? Could it really sweep up all those tiny, pointy, short dog hairs? What about kitty litter? Cheerios? The list goes on and on…
Take a look at the full review of the appliance – it’s my second video review, and I’m getting the hang of this vlogging thing!
If you were able to watch the whole video, then you’ll have noticed I’m now a convert to the Shark brand. Right before the video, I had vacuumed the house with my Animal… and just a few sweeps of the Shark behind it and TONS of dust and hair were lifted out. GROSS. Really gross. I’m so impressed that the other vacuum might have to go live at the Goodwill, because I’m sold on this 3-way Shark.
The slim profile of the head can get under tables and mouldings that my other vacuums can’t touch. The lift away lets me climb the stairs and grab all the gook that collects on the treads, and my personal favorite, the pet hair head actually grabbed dog hair embedded in velvet cushions. This Shark is working hard!
Did you catch the furry cameos in the video? See if you can catch all three!
Great review! It looks so simple to switch up to the different modes!
I like that it has a wood floor attachment, too. Can I use that on my nasty linoleum as well?
Great video, I’m so glad you showed how to put it together, you’re right that is a lot of pieces.
Now I need a new vacuum. I have a feeling mine just isn’t cutting it – and the Shark would probably pick up a lot that my current one is leaving behind.
Wow! That looks like a great vacuum! I’ve always wanted to try a shark. You make me want one even more. Your video was great!
Really impressive. I have a cat too and find it really difficult to clean all the fur that thoroughly.

Thanks so much, girl – I’ll say that the Shark was a powerhouse that I didn’t expect.
I was shocked at what it picked up AFTER my new Dyson!!
Thanks, man! But the nice thing is that there’s a place for everything!
I think so – Since the pad is washable you use do it over and over and over!
Thanks! Yes, the liftaway is super convenient!
