Shark® Rotator(tm) Professional Extended Reach Vacuum NV402To Note: The description claims this is a 3 in 1 and can become a canister or liftaway. I am not sure if this is the right description for this model the NV402. I purchased my NV402 from Bed Bath and Beyond and it is not a 3 in 1 which is why I specifically bought it. Just want to clarify that.This vacuum is replacing my 4+ year old Bissell pet hair eraser so I can't compare it to any of the newer vacuum models. First off I bought this from Bed Bath and Beyond because I had a %20 off coupon and free shipping that brought the original price of $219 to $175. This particular one came with an asthma and allergy attachment kit. I choose this Rotator instead of the already popular 3-in-1 rotator because I have a rather new canister vacuum and didn't want another one with more parts than I needed that I would have to find a place to store. We live in a smaller space and I didn't want more stuff than I needed. I was a bit disappointed in that the only tools that the vacuum has room for you to store on the unit itself is the crevice tool and brush. So I have three other tools I have to find a place for and there was no bag that came with for storage of these.After receiving my box I promptly opened it and started taking everything out. I laid all the pieces out and then followed the direction to put together. This was not difficult and took about 10 minutes (some things I needed to reread to make sure I was doing right). Once put together the unit felt very sturdy to me yet not bulky. I quickly plugged it in for it's first test run. First thing I noticed was that there is no lever to release the unit from standing. Instead you place your foot on the base and pull back on the handle. I love this and for some reason find it more convenient. This is also my first vacuum that "swivels" and that took a little to get use but once I adjusted to this feature I fell in love with it. The ability to get around corners and tight spots was made so much easier. I also enjoyed the smaller foot print the brush head has than my last vacuum because I can get into more spaces without having to move as many objects around. The profile of the head is also smaller than my last vacuum which allows me to vacuum further under furniture than previously which I found to be a huge plus. The vacuum was very easy to push around, nothing like my last that gave me a workout. The lights on the front are a nice feature but I don't see myself using or needing that often.The cord is on my left side,which is a little odd for me, as I would prefer on my right side but it is not a deal breaker by far. Plus a good thing to note is there is a cord hook on the handle that allows you to feed the cord to the right so it can still be held in the right hand easily.I love the easy to empty canister, far superior from my old vacuum.While I have had this vacuum only about a week and half I am in love. I empty the dust canister before each use and am amazed at how much it picks up each time and I have been vacuuming about every other day.Should my opinions change or anything happen as time goes on I will update this review to reflect those changes but at this time I highly recommend.*****1 Month Update 12/30/12******I still haven't had this product long enough to be able to state anything on the longevity or durability of this vacuum but I can comment on some new things I have noticed. I am not a huge user of attachments, and will use my canister vac for most things I need attachments for but I did want to vacuum my couches to get some dust off of them. My only complaint while doing this was that the hose was stiff and each time I pulled on it to reach further the vacuum tipped over because the hose was stiff and the vacuum so light weight but also top heavy. I wonder with some work and use if I can get the hose to loosen up. I still love this vacuum and do not regret my purchase one bit and would continue to recommend to others.Will update again in the future when I have had more time with it to be able to comment on longevity and durability.

We bought this vacuum at Bed Bath and Beyond recently (20% off coupon!) and have loved it so far! We had an older dyson that we had gotten as a hand-me-down from my mother-in-law and thought I would never find a vacuum I liked as much as the dyson. Not only was it a lot cheaper in price, the quality so far has been excellent! I am a science teacher and decided to do a little controlled experiment with it. We vacuumed our hallway (we have two very hairy cats!) with the dyson, and then went over the same area with an electrolux nimble (not impressed). We did the same experiment with the shark rotator later and were amazed at how much cat hair and dust it picked up, even right after using the dyson first!Pros:Easily turns and maneuvers compared to the dysonSuction is incredible (even vacuumed the cat tree with it!)Rolls easily on carpet and tile (transitions easily back and forth)Hose is a nice length (not in the handle like a dyson!)Lots of various attachments for different jobsSound isn't too loud or high pitchedSmall enough to fit nicely in our hall closetCons:A little heavy, but still lighter than dyson, and still rolls nicelyOne of the attachments makes a high loud sound when used on hoseHead isn't as wide as dyson, makes for a little more workIf you pull on the hose, the vacuum does sometimes tip over, but our dyson did that tooOverall, after researching different brands and trying different vacuums, we are most impressed with this model. The price was reasonable and it has a five year warranty. Excited to see how long it lasts for!*Note, the description does say 3 in 1, and ours does not "lift away", but we knew that when we purchased it.

I recently purchased this vacuum from another retailer locally as it was on sale. We had needed a new vacuum for a while but I had put it off because I wanted to find something good. We have a Kirby and a Oreck XL and a central vac system. All 3 of them have their issues. Since having this vacuum I have loved the fact that I can vacuum every surface weather carpet, area rug or hardwood floor, in the open or under furniture without having to either move the furniture or make extensive changes to the vacuum. It has great suction and at first I thought I was going to have trouble with our area rugs until I found the way to reduce the suction so it wouldn't suck the rug up to the vacuum. It gets the dirt out of the cracks between the boards on hardwood floors too. The various attachments and configurations make it adaptable to nearly any environment. I love their clever tools like extendable crevice tool that flexes. It gets so nicely into hard to reach areas like between the seat and console in your car. Also the brush tool has a nice touch where you slide the brush off and have a tool that's great for removing pet hair on furniture. So much to say about this vacuum cleaner if I have more time I'll come back and add to this review. I would have given it 5 stars but it is a bag less system and I do not care for bag less. They make no sense to me as to why put a heppa filter on a vacuum and seal it up so nicely only have you open it up to dump it out and have the dust fill the air again. My solution to that is to simply empty it in the garage but the concept is still lost to me as to the why. Other than that I think this is a great vacuum the does the job well. It picks up tons of dirt dust and crumbs and makes keeping the house clean a lot easier, all for a very nice price. I'm sold on this one.
