Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV vs Karcher CV300

It has the same complete seal, anti-allergen filtration system that other premium sharks have. It does really keep the tiny particles in the machine a...

Now I can actually use this as a canister vacuum, so it's going to take a closer look at the base of the unit itself. Now we have a few different thin...

The Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV is a corded upright/handheld vacuum. It delivers superb bare-floor cleaning performance and should clear most kinds of debris on both low and high-pile carpet. It's also fairly configurable to suit different cleaning requirements, with two different suction levels, two floor settings, and a decently wide assortment of tools and brushes. Unfortunately, it's quite heavy, and its short vacuum hose makes cleaning high-placed areas and furniture a little tricky in its semi-handheld 'Lift-Away' mode

Suction is good, and you have the option to run it in "Quiet" mode although even on full power it's quieter than my previous vacuum. I've also heard good things about the Karcher CV300 ($400) but not sure how they stack up.

The Shark is a fantastic budget vacuum that holds its own against these two in usability and features, albeit with slightly lower performance marks. Still, I would highly recommend this vacuum. It offers the best value of any of the models and its multitude of accessories will delight the more thorough cleaners among you. Colin West McDonald/CNETDesignThis is a fine-looking vacuum, but it isn't trying to appear high-end like the other models

The Karcher CV300 is the one I would guess you are considering for that price point. The CV300 does not have a switch to stop the brush on the power nozzle, so a hard floor tool would need to be purchased. With the hard floor tool, it would do great on your hard floors. Though it may push your budget some, it is an extremely nice vacuum cleaner

Suction: Still better than a lot of brands, but not nearly as good as my previous shark.

Okay, big boy time. This is my primary vacuum so I want to see how it actually performs. Most people seem to get around 70. CFM However, I think that ...

Even better? The canister and filters are all unbelievably easy to clean and wash when needed ! Such a great feature to keep the vacuum working at its best!

You get the vacuum, a manual, and 1 set of filters installed. The swivel head is not important to me, but I could buy it as an attachment later. The retractable handle is not important to me. The multiple power settings is not important to me

This vacuum is powerful and light. I love the self cleaning brush. I hated manually cutting out the hair on the brush of my last vacuum. This vacuum is really self propelled and easy to push

Spent a good amount of time on the web looking at reviews before deciding to buy this vacuum cleaner. I have used Bissel and Kenmore before this one and certainly Karcher has a lot more suction power. This model is geared towards carpeted places and you can buy a separate attachment for hardwood. It is not a light vacuum though, so if that’s a concern I would not recommend this

Like this Shark Vacuum. Happy with the price from Walmart. I do have one concern. I cant find replacement filters for this vacuum on Walmarts web site

The brushroll on those is designed to pop out in less than 10 seconds for really fast cleaning, and the whole design makes clog removal very easy. You might also look into something like a SEBO 300 Mechanical or Lindhaus Activa if you'd prefer a traditional upright, but these two are gonna be less common.
