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

Most of us are familiar with the problem, of hair wrapping around the brush roll of our vacuums and having to manually remove the hair.

Shark has alleviated this problem with the Zero M self-cleaning brushroll. As their slogan says “we remove the hair wrapped around the brush roll so you don’t have to”.

The self-cleaning brush roll has a series of protrusions that constantly remove hair from the brush roll as you vacuum.
