- The zu782 model has a larger cleaning path.
These features make this vacuum ideal for carpets, hardwood floors and pets.
What is Duo Clean Technology
The implementation of duo clean technology allows for more efficient cleaning on both hardwood floors and carpets.
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.
What is Zero M Cleaning Brush Roll
The ZU782 is the only vacuum in our comparison that has the zero m self-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.
If this is one of the tasks that you dislike when cleaning pet hair you might want to have a look at the ZU782 model.
What is Powered Liftaway
The powered liftaway features a detachable pod so you can easily clean stairs, furniture and other above-floor areas.
The ZU782 model doesn’t have this feature. It does however have a liftaway feature that provides similar performance.
What is the difference between powered liftaway and liftaway
Lift-Away (ZU782 model) means that the main unit can be detached from the wand at the click of a button, turning your upright vacuum into a portable.
Powered Lift Away (NV752 model) delivers power directly to the brush roll head even in Lift Away mode.
The only difference is the fact that this model has a liftaway feature instead of a liftaway feature. However, we feel the other advantages cancel out this flaw.
Detailed Comparison of the Features

It only has suction power.
