There are two camps of people, I’ve learned. Those that love to vacuum and those that don’t. I happen to fall into the former category for reasons I can’t entirely explain. I have no real domestic skills or desires but I somehow find vacuuming, painting, and cleaning windows all extremely gratifying.
Even though I’m well equipped with vacuum technology, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to review the new Shark® Rotator® Powered Lift-Away® for just some of the reasons listed below:
- Super swivel steering and strong suction that makes it feel almost self-propelled
- Powerful LED headlights on the nozzle and handle so you can really see all that dirt that you thought wasn’t there
- Fingertip Controls for easy transitions between hard floors, carpet and area rugs (no bending is probably best at my age)
- Bare floor attachment that vacuums AND dusts
- Extra-long 30 foot power cord so I barely have to unplug
So if all of this is so awesome, what’s the bad news? There’s plenty of it.
The Good News
After years of marriage, I finally convinced my husband to get rid of his old maroon canister vacuum (which I hated).
The Bad News
With the right configuration of the Shark Rotator, that old canister vac is back. (I’m an upright kinda girl, all the way).
The Good News
This vacuum is so all-in-one convenient that I’ll never need my husband’s help vacuuming!
The Bad News
My husband doesn’t ever vacuum (he’s one of those that prefers laundry to vacuuming – sick, I know).
The Good News
The suction is so strong that the pet hair, dirt, and God knows what else gets sucked up with ease.
The Bad News
So did a paper towel, a fabric softener sheet, a dog ball, and my son’s sock (the sock didn’t survive).
The Good News
My friends, family, and neighbors are envious of my new vacuum and it’s super versatility.
The Bad News
I don’t make any commission if they go out and buy one.
The Good News
The Shark Rotator cleans so well that I really don’t even need a housekeeper anymore!
The Bad News
I never had a housekeeper to begin with.
(That’s a real photo of my real kitchen)
The Good News
I now have no problem getting into every single crack, crevice, baseboard, corners, and other odd spaces in my house.
The Bad News
OMG, I had no idea my house was this dirty.
And finally, let’s end on some really good news which is… I made a video so you can see all the good news for yourself, including how to configure this vacuum in at least four ways, and just how dirty all four floor surfaces in my house really are.
Love your video. 🙂 I have been in the market for a new vacuum for *far* too long, but haven’t been able to find one that I like that can do carpet, wood, stairs, tile easily. Til now! Thanks for posting, Santa knows what to get me now!
