Is the Shark NV752 good for pet hair?

Yes. It ships with a pet power brush for upholstery and stairs, and owners report strong hair pickup on carpet. The sealed HEPA filter also traps the fine dander that comes with pets.

How does Powered Lift-Away work?

The canister pod lifts off the nozzle and becomes a carried unit with a hose and wand. The brushroll keeps spinning, so you can clean stairs and under furniture without losing powered cleaning.

Does it work on hard floors?

Yes. Fingertip controls switch it between carpet and hard floor modes, and the brushroll can be turned off for bare floors. It is a dry vacuum only.

How often do I empty the dust cup?

The bin holds about 0.88 quarts, so expect to empty it after most whole-home cleans, more often with heavy pet hair. Filters are washable and should be rinsed regularly.

Is it heavy to use on stairs?

The full unit is about 15.6 lbs, but the Lift-Away pod is far lighter in hand, which is why owners prefer it for stairs. Plan on carrying the pod rather than the whole vacuum.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, a pet power brush, an upholstery tool and a crevice tool. The wand and hose are built in, and the filters are washable rather than disposable.
