      Just Vlad not to Jam my opinion down your throat, but you need to stop wasting your money on these units. Sharks are not meant to be used commercial. Only commercial grade vacuums should be used commercially and or in a home.

    I think it’s great that you found a way to fix the problem. You cannot fault Shark because they clearly state the vacuums are meant for household use. Obviously you are using them way more and you admit you “abuse” them. I know you stated that most people won’t have this issue but for those who didn’t watch it through to the end they may choose not to buy now. It’s also great you offered to print and send replacements for free but this might end up costing you in the long run. They are great vacuums!

    Question: Why are your vacuums so scratched up on the sides? I’ve been vacuuming practically since I could walk and talk, and I’ve never beat up any vacuum that much. I get normal wear and tear - but your vacuums look like you were scraping against a cement wall. With all that said - I do commend you on your ingenuity and “McGyver” skills. I received my Apex Zero M today.

  • @jbs256
    @jbs256 5 лет назад +1

    Great video. I just bought an Apex Zero-M. I missed your video until now. I won’t be as rough on my wheels I don’t think but who knows. Honestly, I think you should sell maybe a bag of ten or so. Filament costs your time and effort as it’s not your main business. Once you determine if the white or gray is the better one, you got a side business. Thanks again for the head up on what to look out for. Most of the reviews are good for this vacuum so I think I’ll be happy. My old Hoover just gave up so I used a bunch of BB&B gift cards and essentially paid a little over a hundred for it. Clean home here I come!

  • @jshoota19ify
    @jshoota19ify 6 лет назад +2

    That darn hose is too short and stiff which causes it to topple so easy... The dusting attachment causes so much suction resistance, which makes the hose incredibly stiff. You will struggle trying to use the dust attachment above your head(I switch to thick carpet setting to make suction a tad more tolerable). I feel Dyson perfected the hose attachments and ease of use. So if you have stairs and/or like to use the attachments more often, then I would recommend Dyson. The Shark got some impressive sucking power. I dont think its too heavy of a unit. Own a Kirby or Rainbow then you'll know heavy. I don't have any stairs so this unit works just fine for me with my pets. The fact that Vlad and Vacuum Wars uses the Shark for a business says a lot too me about this vacuum.

    Same here. I bought this vacuum for my cleaning business and at first it was the best vacuum I ever purchased. A month later the wheels broke. Couldn’t figure out what the awful dragging sound was and it was scratching hardwoods so bad! I exchanged that vacuum 5 times in 6 months because of the wheels. Got sick of it and moved on from shark. It’s shame because it’s such a great vacuum!

  • @darchon5
    @darchon5 6 лет назад +1

    After a month of use, in your experience, do you feel that the Zero M has stronger suction than the original Apex? I did see that in a previous comments section you said that the Zero M did (a little bit or a lot?) better on carpet.
    I'm thinking that, since they both seemingly have the same motor, perhaps the Zero M is losing less suction because of 2 things:
    - Better interior chamber design (maybe better air flow? I don't know the aerodynamics)
    - Almost no hair tangling up the brushes so that the bristles remain more effective over time at agitating carpets
    Just a couple of thoughts, but I only have the original Apex and haven't personally compared. Clever wheel work-around btw, glad you figured something out. Thanks for all the updates!

    Go to a vacuum shop and buy a Miele, Riccar, Sebo, or Maytag. They're going to last a lot longer than all these cheap big box junkies. I have a Miele and I've had it for 4 years and no problems. If I ever have an issue, the place I bought it from will stand behind it.

      But if you look at the comparison test no other vacuum has the cleaning power of the Shark Apex Duoclean... So gimmicky or not, the shark does better at the task it's intended for. I had a Miele Canister vac from Costco and got the shark to compare... Returned the Miele right away, 200 less for the Shark and considerably better performance with no hair winding to worry about. Also, a 5 year warranty.

Pros/ cons just happen to scroll an see from another perspective you using a shark I know when u make a purchase we expect promises of perfect product to perform heavy duty job. Just listening about sharks guarantee of durability an quality of their vacuum on their commercials. From the CEO president himself an quarantee to repair/ fix it free. 5yr quarantee. Why have they not considered revising the wheels with a tougher - different - design steel wheels with polymor covering?? Or durable wheel made of a product that lasts an won't scuff hard wood floors ..im really interested in shark.

      I just got the Zero M so I guess I will take this as a note to go easy on the wheels, but so far I'm incredibly impressed. The suction power is unmatched and the versatility is excellent. Dust bin is incredibly easy to empty. Zero M works as advertised; shark says you may notice small amounts of hair but not to worry about it as the scraper removes it as it accumulates. This is really an impressive piece of hardware with thoughtful engineering and a better price than anything close.

  • @pauljs75
    @pauljs75 4 года назад

    Surprised they didn't tell him to use the bare floor attachment. Beater brush part is really only meant to be used on carpet or rugs. Bare floor attachment also does a better job in that role because there's a cloth that velcros on that works as a dry lint mop, and the beater brush tends to fail in picking up any fine dirt from a hard surface. (Not sure if Shark sells the spare lint cloths for the bare floor head, but easy to make from micro-fiber cleaning cloths if you have any basic sewing skills to attach the velcro tabs.) Not only that but the bare floor tool also has a lower profile making it better suited to kitchens, since it'll be able to go under the front edge of a fridge or stove.
    I'm guessing the main issue is that the rollers are banging over the grout on tiled floors and that's why they are wearing out super fast.
