Powered Lift Away is Great Feature
I have a Shark that is somewhat larger than this one; I got this one mainly for the powered lift away feature, and I do like it for doing stairs. Because this one has a smaller cleaning path, it is very good for getting in tight places. However, my other Shark does a better job at getting the dirt out of carpets. I vacuumed with the Duo Clean, and then with my other Shark, and it got out a considerable amount of dirt that the Duo Clean left behind. As far as the soft roller "Duo Clean" feature, I could live without it. I don't think it really does much. Another thing: this vacuum is noisy, and emits a rather high pitched noise. Also, when using it upright, it tends to "run away" on its own. My older Shark is much more steady, and easier to control when used for carpets/floors. So, all in all, I am glad I got this one; it came with a boatload of pricey accessories, and I certainly will use them for many cleaning jobs.
