they are super convenient. Mine is the the non-powered lift away. I think it will be 3 yrs old around Thanksgiving.
As far as emptying goes. I use my bagged vac I keep in my laundry room and suck the Shark's bin/filters clean so I don't have to dump the mess with dust flying. If you have cleaning ladies that use your Shark, I'm surprised it's lasted this long honestly. |

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who cleans out their vacuums with another vacuum LOL. I actually pull out the Hide a Hose to clean out my Dyson V8 and Neato vacuum. |

I meant to say "above" floor cleaning, not "I've." :) |

I have to say that I really enjoy my Shark Rotator Pro Lift Away NV500. I imported it from the UK.
For a Chinese vacuum it's quite well made, but not well as the German vacuums. Why I like it is the convenience. Very easy to use and very versatile. Lift Away feature is a genius idea. I vacuum my bare floors holding the canister in another hand and wand/pipe in another. So far easiest and fastest way to vacuum the hard floors. What it comes to carpet cleaning performance I have tested and compared it to several different vacuums. It can't match the Kirby G6 and Nilfisk GM80 with the Wessel Werk EBK 340 ph. However it's not far from those. Being bagless there is obviously more maintenance like the filter washing and bin emptying/cleaning. In my use I don't have to do those often. I have to admit that seeing the dirt being collected to the bin is somewhat rewarding to see. In the pictures you can see how well it can match the Kirby G6 and the Nilfisk GM80 in flour under the carpet test. Note that I did slow passes, so all vacuums in this test did a good job. Kirby G6 was the best, Nilfisk GM80 second and not far behind Shark. Not a bad result. |

Hopefully if they are good cleaning ladies, they clean the bottom plate on the vacuum :) Those were just my experiences trying out a Shark. Of course you should use whichever vacuum you like that you enjoy using. |

Me? Crazy? Never :) I typically just use the central vac day to day so the Shark is not much of an issue in the grand scheme of things as the machine is only used every other week. |
