Shark Rotator Pet Lift-Away ADV (LA702)

Shark Rotator Pet review: perfect for pet lovers

What We Loved

• Allergen-containment seal
  HEPA filter and sealed system keep fine dust from escaping.
• Assembly and Setup
  Snaps together quickly out of the box; no tools needed.
• Brush-roll agitation strength
  Stiff PowerFins dig deep into carpet fibers for a thorough lift.
• Build quality & durability
  Sturdy construction with solid fit and finish.
• Button/switch placement
  Mode toggles and max-suction slider sit conveniently on the handle and canister.
• Cleaning performance on carpet
  Carpets look visibly refreshed after a single pass.
• Cleaning performance on hard floors
  Soft brushroll lifts dust and pollen off hardwood with ease.
• Convertible handheld design
  Lift-Away canister handy on stairs, but lacks Powered Lift-Away floorhead use.
• Dust-bin emptying
  Bottom-release lever is tidy, but hair occasionally clogs the inlet.
• Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
  Dual no-tangle brushrolls stay clear even with heavy shedding.
• Maneuverability & swivel steering
  Swivel steering lets it glide easily around furniture and into corners.
• Pet-hair pickup efficiency
  Quickly fills the bin with long dog hair without leaving stragglers behind.
• Stair-cleaning convenience
  Canister detaches for easy carry when tackling steps.
• Suction-power feel (real-world)
  Picks up everything from fine pollen to dead leaves without scatter.
• Weight
  Several pounds lighter than most upright vacuums, reducing fatigue.

Just Okay

• Attachment variety & compatibility
  Includes crevice, upholstery and dusting tools, but range feels basic.
• Dust-bin capacity
  Sub-quart bin needs emptying mid-clean on pet-hair days.
• Odor control / carbon-filter effectiveness
  Scent cartridge smells nice but fades after about two weeks.
• Onboard tool storage
  Only two parking spots, so one tool is always left loose.
• Value-for-money
  Only $20 cheaper than the Stratos, making it feel overpriced.
