Is the ZU561 good for pet hair?

Yes. It is marketed for pet hair and includes pet tools, and owners report strong pickup from carpet and upholstery.

Does it work on hardwood floors?

Yes. Shark lists carpet, rugs and hardwood as recommended surfaces, and you can turn off the brush roll for bare floors.

The bin holds 0.238 gallons, so expect to empty it after most whole-home cleans or after heavy pet-hair jobs.

No bags. The HEPA filter is washable, so you rinse and reuse it instead of buying replacements.

It matches the lowest price seen since November 5, 2026, when nine stores were tracked, so there is no cheaper new listing to wait for right now.

The vacuum, a wand, the Lift-Away pod and pet tools; check the listing for the exact tool set before ordering.
