Overview of the Shark az1002 Model
What is Duo Clean Brush roll
Duo clean technology allow for efficient cleaning on all floor types.
The dual brush roll allows the vacuum to pick up large particles, small particles and stuck-on dust that you would usually find on hardwood floors.
The bristle brush is ideal for cleaning carpets and the soft brush roll pulls in larger particles and work on floors to provide a more polished look.
This makes the Shark az1002 model ideal for high pile carpets, low pile carpets and hardwood floors. It performs well on all floor types.
What is Zero M Cleaning Brush Roll
The self-cleaning brush roll has a series of protrusions that constantly remove hair from the brush roll as you vacuum instead of having to manually do this task.
This feature along with the large dust cup capacity makes the az1002 model ideal for pet owners.
What is PoweredLiftaway
The powered liftaway feature refers to shark vacuums that have a detachable canister.
This feature extends the reach of the vacuum and allows you to reach hard to reach areas and above ground areas while maintaining optimal vacuuming power in the main vacuum head.
