Shark APEX DuoClean Corded ZS362 vs Dyson V15 Detect Absolute

Having said that, I would not recommend this Shark to anyone for a ONE AND ONLY vac. It is not versatile enough to be the Lone Ranger of cleanup. I purchased this vac for the large areas of our house with hardwood and tile floors for quick cleanup along with the accompanying area rugs in these rooms. Out of the box first impressions: WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT A VAC THAT WOULD NOT STAND UP ON ITS OWN WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA? First MAJOR design flaw! Often during the course of vacuuming, you need to stop, and either move something, or in some way have need of walking away from the vac for a few seconds

I haven’t posted here for a couple years after buying our Miele U1 Cat & Dog which we are still very happy with. Although we have occasionally wished we had a portable vacuum for between weekend spot cleanings around the house and that our young children could more easily carry up and down stairs for their chores.

I will say it’s light, easy to put together, carry around the house, I like how it can get under tables easily, and the fact that it will pick up a lot of stuff that regular sweepers don’t. Again it’s a nice sweeper I don’t regret buying it just wish I would have known some of this stuff before purchasing.

You get the wonderfully named Laser Slim fluffy cleaner head, which we'll talk more about separately than an anti-tangle high torque cleaner head suit...

Going back to their "no-tangle" technology, I've had this unit for over 6 months and I've only had to cut off the stuck hairs once. That is a HUGE improvement from my previous units where it was a weekly ordeal. I've broken two cordless Dyson vacuums and thought this would be my save all. I do believe that this has more suction power for longer because it is corded, I just wish it wasn't so heavy

"When lots of dust is being vacuumed, the graph rises quickly," Dyson says. "But as less and less dust is picked up, it slows down, letting you know you've achieved a thorough deep clean." 

Their Vaccums still reigns unparalleled in quality vs. functality vs. value. I still give this model 3 stars because it STILL beats most other vaccum brands out there and still trust the Shark brand, the name still firmly held in high regard

I think cordless is really the main draw for her. We have been looking at the Dyson V15 Detect.

It's easy to assemble and disassemble in order to use it in all its different forms. It performs pretty well on pet hair. The less than good: it has to be stored in an awkward unconnected position, where the wand still sticks up, but the handheld hooks onto the base. Good design in that it hooks on and doesn't tip over, just weird that you have to take it apart (I think you could hang it on a wall hook if you had that kind of room and then it could remain in one piece

.. I sincerely hope that Dyson redesigns the whole clear bin/shroud design sooner than later, because I am starting to get tired of having to thoroughly cleaning my machine every time I use it

Shark did have pretty good, responsive customer service though, and that is a bonus in my book. I do wish it came with more accessories. The attachment hose it comes with is skinny and short and makes the suction feel weak. It's not good for much

Thank you for watching, please like,/\s/ subscribe and comment Which vacuum you use and/\s/why you love it? And I'll see you again soon x.

It is not 100 percent self-cleaning as I still had to pull some hair and strings that got caught along the sides of the brush roll which was significantly less than my Dyson. What I hate most was its non-HEPA filter. Not only that, the exhaust location is on the top back of the handle which blows hot air to the user.

That being said, I am exchanging mine because it has an (seemingly somewhat common?) issue where the LCD display advises the filter needs cleaned after five minutes of vacuuming (the warning is reset after it's charged and it doesn't effect the performance of the vacuum but nonetheless you're paying good money for a working product). Dyson support have offered an exchange (courier picks up the broken machine and gives me a replacement at the same time) which I'll receive on Thursday (US customers seem to have shit support but EU/UK folk get much better support).

Oh, you can get a bag for them from Shark but you have to buy the bag? Ha! No Thanks!! Also, really, Shark? Really? You're going to make me purchase the hook to hang this vacuum on separately? Sad the greed in the world. It's ok and I'm not returning it as I need one while I'm selling my home but I don't think I would buy this again unless it was $50 cheaper.

5 stars for the vaccuum but 3 stars to the seller for Price Gouging. They shipped it quickly is the only reason I gave them 3 stars. I paid $1000.00 for this vaccuum
