Shark ZU572 vs NV752 – The Differences
- The ZU572 has the self-cleaning brush roll feature
- The ZU572 has a larger dust cup capacity
- The ZU572 model has a larger cleaning path
- The NV752 model has the powered liftaway feature.
- The NV752 model weighs more.
What is Zero M Cleaning Brush Roll
The ZU572 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 ZU572 model.
What is Powered Liftaway
The powered liftaway means you can 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. A plus is you still maintain the same vacuuming power.
What is the difference between powered liftaway and liftaway
The liftaway feature that is available in the ZU572 models means that the unit can be detached from the wand at the click of a button, turning your upright vacuum into a portable. In the liftaway mode there is no power in the brush roll.
Powered Lift Away (NV752 model) delivers power directly to the brush roll head even in Lift Away mode.
