Reviews
Shark Rotator Pet ZU102 / ZU101 Review - Upright Corded Vacuum!
What We Loved
- Allergen-containment seal
Complete Seal system passed fog test perfectly - Button/switch placement
manual suction-adjustment lever on handle helps with thick rugs - Cleaning performance on carpet
perfect carpet deep-clean score and picked up all debris sizes - Cleaning performance on hard floors
better than average overall but struggled with extra-large debris - Dust-bin capacity
large 3-liter bin, bigger than average bagless bins - Extension-wand reach & adjustability
super-long 12-ft hose—great for stairs and above-floor cleaning - Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
includes true HEPA filter within sealed system - Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
Hair Pro System actively removes hair; nearly perfect hair tests - Large-debris pick-up
struggles with extra-large debris on hard floors but wand workaround helps - Maneuverability & swivel steering
excellent, very responsive swivel steering - Odor control / carbon-filter effectiveness
odor-neutralizer cartridge freshens exhaust air - Pet-hair pickup efficiency
handled pet and human hair almost perfectly in 7-in and 14-in tests - Price
selling for a pretty decent, below-average price - Suction power (air watts)
only slightly above average suction and usable suction - Value-for-money
cheaper than average uprights with strong feature set - Warranty
longer-than-average 5-year warranty
Just Okay
- Airflow (CFM)
significantly lower airflow at head than at hose - Attachment variety & compatibility
includes upholstery/brush combo and crevice tool; brush bristles too stiff for dusting - Noise level
noise measured right at the average of tested vacuums - Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
cord length slightly below average - Weight & balance
overall weight right at the average but felt light in hand
Needs Improvement
- Crevice‑cleaning effectiveness
remarkably below average in crevice pickup test
