What is Zero M Cleaning Brush Roll

Shark has alleviated this problem with the Zero M self-cleaning brush roll. As there 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.

The powered liftaway features allows you to detach the canister pod so you can clean hard to reach areas while still delivering power to keep the brush roll spinning.

This feature gives you more maneuverability when using the vacuum to reach hard to reach areas such as under couches or when cleaning above ground areas. The nv752 has the powered liftaway feature.

Lift-Away (ZU562 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.
