-

-
Overall opinion is strongly positive across professional and customer sources, with caveats around hard floors, weight, hose length, and tangles.
-
The Lift-Away/convertible design is one of the product’s core strengths, making it easier to use as an upright, pod, canister-like, or handheld-style cleaner.
-
Filtration is one of the strongest consensus points, with sealed HEPA performance and smoke-test results keeping dust and allergens contained.
-
Hair pickup on carpets is a strength across tests and customer reviews, with many reviewers saying it pulls up pet hair effectively.
-
Under-furniture pickup is a major advantage because Powered Lift-Away lets the head or wand reach under beds and furniture.
-
Pet performance is a major strength in most sources, with reviewers praising pet-hair pickup, though tool and tangle issues appear in some use cases.
-
Versatility is a standout strength, with reviewers praising the ability to clean floors, stairs, furniture, cars, corners, and under-furniture areas.

-
Value is a strong theme: reviewers repeatedly say the Shark delivers high-end flexibility and suction for a midrange or reasonable price.

The accessory package is valued for crevice, upholstery, pet, dusting, and hard-floor tools, though some customers wished more tools were included or stored onboard.
-
Headlights are strongly praised for showing debris on floors, dark corners, and attachment work.
-
Ease of use is mostly strong thanks to Lift-Away, handle controls, and easy emptying, but weight and hose issues create exceptions.
-
Upholstery and above-floor cleaning are generally good with pet and upholstery tools, but some reviewers find the pet tool weak or prone to resistance.

Maneuverability is generally good thanks to swivel steering, but the top-heavy pod and strong pull make handling mixed for some users.
-
Assembly and setup are praised as easy, with convenient clips and customer comments that it is simple to put together.
-
Emptying is usually praised as easy and mess-controlled, though bin capacity and packed pet hair create some complaints.
-
Comparative performance is strong overall, with reviewers often favoring the NV752 over similarly priced uprights while noting pricier models can beat it in some tests.
-
The self-propelled feel helps carpet cleaning for many users, though the pull can feel too strong in tight spaces.

Edge and baseboard cleaning is mostly positive, though one review notes some debris may remain in corners or along walls.
-
Tool changes are generally easy, with click-on accessories and a removable handheld piece praised for quick transitions.

Heavy-duty suitability is favorable, with professional and customer reviewers describing it as appropriate for pets, kids, carpets, and cleaning-house use.

Automatic brush/standby behavior is praised where mentioned, with the roller stopping when upright or locked.
-
Controls are praised for being on the handle and intuitive, though isolated customer feedback says the power button can be hard to keep engaged.

Longevity evidence is mixed-positive, with warranty praise and several long-term owner reports balanced against isolated failures.
-
Dust-bin feedback is mixed: reviewers like easy emptying and size in some tests, while Amazon customers complain the usable capacity can feel low.
-
Automatic obstruction shutoff has positive customer evidence because it protects the motor and warns when the brush stops or clogs.
-
Innovation is tied to Powered Lift-Away; reviewers and customers describe the configuration as unusually flexible compared with other uprights.
-
Low-profile reach is praised when the detachable head or wand gets under beds, chairs, and furniture.
-
Ownership costs are favorable where discussed because the vacuum is bagless with washable filters and little routine replacement.

Airflow blowback is positively addressed in customer evidence where the Shark avoids spitting debris back at the user.

Cord length is mixed: some reviewers call it long, while customers often want several more feet.
-
Packaging has limited but positive customer evidence, with one buyer saying it was packed well and worked as described.
Cons
Sort
-
Hair-removal channel and brush-cleaning access are notable weaknesses for long pet hair, with owners reporting lengthy brush-head cleaning.
-
Hard-floor seal and intake are weak in some evidence, especially where the head struggles with large debris or sounds rough on hard floors.
-
Crevice and grouted-floor pickup has negative customer evidence, especially on grouted tile where grit required repeated passes.
-
Upright stability is a weakness in customer feedback, especially when the pod or wand is used and the unit tips easily.
-
Cord management is a downside because the cord is manual, non-retractable, and can get in the way.
-
Weight is a repeated drawback, with reviewers calling the unit hefty, heavy on the wrist, or difficult for some users.
-
Hair-wrap resistance is one of the most mixed attributes: some reviewers report minor tangles, while pet-hair tests and long-hair owners report serious wrapping.
-
Onboard tool storage is a weakness because the vacuum cannot hold all attachments and tools can fall or require the bag.
-
Clogging evidence is mixed-negative: one CNET test found large carpet debris did not clog, but pet-hair and head-clog complaints recur elsewhere.
-
Reliability and support are mixed: one review praises the long warranty, while a customer describes a poor warranty/support experience.
-
Hose length is mixed to negative: one reviewer measured useful reach, but others say the hose is short and limits range.
-
Build quality is mixed: professional reviewers often call it solid, while some customers report flimsy parts, broken lids, or cheaper-feeling plastics.
-
Hard-floor hair pickup is mixed, with one test favoring the Shark over Bissell and CNET/customer evidence showing weakness without the right tool.
-
Noise feedback is moderate: one reviewer found it quieter than a Dyson DC65 but not truly quiet overall.
-
Area-rug handling is mixed: settings help some rugs, but several customers say suction is too strong for smaller rugs.
-
Floorhead design is mixed: it helps carpet pickup and maneuverability, but its lip and size cause hard-floor and width complaints.
