Shark Navigator Zero-M Lift-Away Speed Upright Vacuum (ZU561)

I’ve now had this vacuum for a year, it is so well worth the money. I switched from my Dyson to this shark model. It’s easy to use, it’s easy to clean. The suction is the best I’ve ever seen in a vaccum. It’s lightweight. Lots of length to use attachments. The scent boosters work great. I can see where if I had dogs this would be great for the smell. The scent boosters also have levels you can set . I have cats and it collects the hair like no other vacuum. For noise level, I don’t think it’s loud. The quality of this baby is made built to last! I will never buy anything other vacuum. My only con is I wish I did this so much sooner!

This is my third Shark vacuum and there is a reason I keep buying them! They just work, period. My daughter is moving into her own apartment for the first time and wanted the same Shark we already had. It doesn't seem to still be available so I let her take it with her and got a new one for myself. I do also own a lift away but find it a little too heavy to carry around. The super long hose on this item achieves the same thing and is way easier to use. Assembly was very easy and no tools were needed. All of the components just click into place and probably took two minutes to assemble. I have learned over time that the two included attachments are the only ones I really use and both can be stored right onboard the vacuum. I love that both the foam and felt filters can be rinsed in water and do not need to be repurchased. That being said, I usually buy another set anyway so that I can rinse one set and still be able to use the vacuum while they completely dry out. As for the performance, it works really well. The ability to easily adjust the level of suction right from the handle means that I can go from a throw rug, to an area rug, to a wood floor quickly and easily. The swivel operates flawlessly and makes maneuvering a breeze. And the extension of the hose is great. To reach the ceiling, I don't have to do any heavy lifting or stretching. The dust bin is quite large and is also easy to release and empty. This particular item might not have a tons of bells and whistles, but it just works. For 95% of my tasks, it's all I need. And it is a great value! Every single one of my Shark vacuums are still working great, and I'm sure this item is no exception. For the price, it has everything I need and really exceeded my expectations once I used it. I don't see any reason to spend three or fours times the cost of this item on any other vacuum, when this item does the job. Highly recommended!

I just purchased this vacuum and am really impressed with it after the first use. It was really easy to put together. The instructions included are detailed with pictures. It’s easy to transition to handheld. There’s no extra hose you have to lug around or store. It’s lightweight so moving it up and down my three-story townhouse is easy. It’s also very maneuverable getting around furniture and other items. The suction on this vacuum is amazing. It pulled out so much dirt from my rugs that I had no idea my old vacuum missed. I have a German Shepherd and two long haired cats who all shed a lot. My old vacuum could never get all the fur. I also haven’t had an issue with hair/fur getting stuck in the brushes. This thing pulls up everything. I’m just amazed at how much it picks up. Another feature I love is you can adjust the suction. I have different length rugs and I can lower the suction on the longer length rugs so the vacuum will actually move. There’s also a separate carpet and floor setting. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase so far. I will be able to keep my floors much cleaner. As you can see from the picture this was from an area rug. I had vacuumed with my old vacuum the day before. It clearly missed a LOT of dirt and fur!!

VERY easy to put together! Super lightweight and worked like a charm. Most of my house is hardwood, with only 1 bedroom and a good sized family room being carpeted. I didn’t need anything super big or fancy. Just something bagless, easy to store, and that actually worked! And the price was fantastic!

I am so glad I bought this vacuum. Thanks to the great reviews. I have gone through other vacuums and the pet hair and my own hair would get tangled on the roller and it was a nightmare to clean out each time I would vacuum. Not with this vacuum. I have used it multiple times now and the roller is clear. It picks up all my pet hair and my own hair so I can vacuum regularly without having to clean the roller every single time I vacuum. It’s easy to empty out the container. It picks up a lot of dust and hair. It does a great job. I highly recommend this vacuum. It is worth every penny

I literally threw away all of my old, tired, crappy-looking, filth-spreading brooms after buying this vacuum. It works great on carpets, area rugs, and hard floors, including my 113-year-old hardwood floors (no scratching!). It seriously makes your carpets look like they're brand new again. It is lightweight and easy to push on carpet, even on Maximum Suction power. Photos show the product fully assembled before using (omg, so shiny!!), plus the accessories it came with, then after using on my living room and one area rug in my dining room. The amount of dirt this thing picks up is disturbing, lol. I love the lift-away feature and the hose attachments for getting cracks/crevices and stairs! The filters are easy to access and clean, and replacements are reasonably priced. The upholstery tools work really well for pet hair! For reference, my husband and I both have VERY LONG hair, and we have a cat...so I have included a photo of the brush roll after vacuuming to show that it really works for long hair, too! This is the only vacuum I've ever owned that I didn't have to clean the brush roll after/during every use due to a tangled mess of hair caught in the roll. Seriously, buy this thing. You won't regret it. Just be sure to read and follow all the instructions for maintenence!

I have never had a vacuum work as effectively as this. Game changer for people with allergies. Easy to go from carpet to hardwoods. The very finest dust is trapped, with the pre and HEPA filters. Love it!

Great for picking up long human hair, which was my number one criteria for a vacuum.

Here are my first impressions after using the vacuum. Pros: -I was pleased to see that most of the hair vacuumed up didn't end up on the roller due to the zero M technology. I was vacuuming on carpet and there weren't any piles of hair, but the vacuum only left about 1 or 2% of the hair on the roller, the rest made it into the collection bin. -The pivoting connection between the upper handle part and lower base with the roller, this allows for great control and maneuverability. -The base of the vacuum has a lower profile than my previous model and I liked how I could go further under dressers and beds by lowering the handle towards the floor. -The power cord is nice and soft and wasn't uncomfortable when I stepped on it accidentally with my bare feet. -The additional attachments can be used with the lift away mode in such a way that you don't need to include the extra 2 foot piping extension as well (although you can use this extra length if you prefer). My previous vacuum couldn't get in hard to reach places, like behind the toilet, because it's lift away type of mode had 2 feet of unbendable piping attached. Cons: -The power cord is about 10 or 20 feet shorter than my previous vacuum's cord. -I like to hold the cord in one hand while I control the vacuum with my other hand, the cord connects near the bottom of the vacuum (my previous vacuum's cord connected closer to the top of the handle) so I end up having to bend all the way to the ground to pick it up. -The additional attachments that are used in the lift away mode feel slightly cheap. They don't click into the lift away handle, but rather just fit snugly over the end. This vacuum also only has storage for 1 of the 3 attachments at a time. I use 2 of the three attachments regularly, so this is going to be annoying. These things aren't deal breakers, but inconveniences none the less.

best if you have a golden retriever!

I have lots of long hair and it destroyed my Dyson Stick motor. the shark doesn't show any hair wrap at all.
