Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this model because of the supposed ease of cleaning the roller. Let me tell you, it more than met expectations. Between my cat and long-haired daughter, previous vacuum's roller was a nightmare to clean. This Shark's roller is visible from above (so you can see when it needs cleaning), pops out easily, and is a snap to clean with the built-in hair cutter. The roller even features a groove (see photos), so you can lift and cut the hair away. Well-thought-out design indeed! This model also has great suction, empties easily, effortlessly maneuvers around and under furniture (especially when using lift-away feature) ... and retrieves lost cat toys using the convenient under-appliance tool!
